"OMNIPOTENT 2" picks up where "Omnipotent 1" left off. At the opening of our story, the Gauntlet is secure once again in government hands but able to flex incredible power when introduced into any Theatre of War or Battle Space.Globally, nations search in vain to develop similar weapons systems and the threat of North America having unlimited power in the form of Gauntlet proves too much for some.Dr. Paul Stewart is once again thrust reluctantly into the limelight as he and fellow scientists try to prevent chaos from reigning supreme as potential foes conceive, contrive, and put into action an outlandish plot to defy the allies.Ian McLean once again takes readers through a story line which masterfully explores the human side of technological innovation in the face of global conflict. As this plot unfolds, readers will join in an emotional journey of those intertwined with the existence of the Gauntlet.Ian McLean's narrative prowess shines as he crafts a tale that examines the allure of power, the ethical implications of advanced technology, and the unforeseen consequences that come with playing god on the battlefield.
A beautifully illustrated introduction to Australian art history from colonization through today. In Double Nation, Ian McLean traces the history of Australian art, from colonial art practice to twentieth-century national art. Two key themes structure the narrative: the transformation of British art practice into an Australian one and the troubled pursuit of the aesthetic means to claim an Indigenous heritage. Interrogating the canonical tradition, McLean asks why certain artists came to prominence while others have been neglected. In the process, he links the changing fortunes of artists to social and political developments both at home and abroad. With 170 illustrations, this book is an ideal introduction to the history of Australian art.
This was a period of change, as the first Class 47s to be withdrawn started to fall by the wayside in 1986, since seriously damaged crash victims were no longer likely to be rebuilt. It was also a time of change regarding how trains were heated, as steam heat became rare. With over 200 images, this book provides a visual journey of Class 47s.
The Class 47 diesel loco was a mainstay of British Rail. They worked passenger and heavy freight trains as well as more mundane local passenger and wagon-load freight all over Britain. This book records 1982 to 1985 and many days spent trying to travel behind all 507 of the Class 47s that were still in traffic.
This book investigates how identities have been constructed in Australian art from 1788 onwards. Ian McLean shows that Australian art has, since settlement, been in a dialogue with Aboriginal art and culture; and that this dialogue is inextricably interwoven with the struggle to find an identity in the antipodes.
