# Heritage Trilogy

Heritage Trilogy is a series of military science fiction books written by Ian Douglas that focus on the United States Marine Corps. It is followed by the Legacy Trilogy and the Inheritance Trilogy.

## Novels

* Semper Mars (1998)
* Luna Marine (1998)
* Europa Strike (2000)

## Background

The events of the Heritage Trilogy span from 2040 to 2067. In Semper Mars, evidence of an alien civilization that may have intervened in human evolution threatens to throw the Earth into chaos and war when discovered by scientists in the subterranean ruins on Mars. The Marine Mars Expeditionary Force, a 30-man weapons platoon, has been dispatched from the United States Marine Corps to Mars to protect American civilians and interests with lethal force if necessary. The discoveries on Mars, however, start a global war. The United States and its allies fight against most of the member nations of United Nations.
As the war drags on it is discovered that Mars is not the only place that holds ruins of an alien civilization. In Luna Marine it is discovered that the Earth's own Moon contains mysterious technologies of long vanished species. The US attempts to take those ruins currently held by the UN using another Marine force made from veterans from Mars, supported by the first antimatter-powered starship. The UN, however, plans to end the war by dropping an asteroid on the United States. Though an Aerospace Force nuclear missile strike is able to divert the asteroid itself, they are unable to prevent the wreck of the UN starship shepherding the asteroid from crashing on Chicago, destroying part of the city. Meanwhile, the alien ruin on the Moon is captured and humanity learns a second alien race not only taught them the elements of civilization but also enslaved them. The war ends with the UN suing for peace before it eventually collapses.
Twenty years after the UN War, the Earth's nations continue to fight in space for scraps of alien technology. In Europa Strike a strange artifact lies imprisoned beneath the ice-locked oceans of Europa. Both a Chinese task force and a Marine Expeditionary Unit race to secure the artifact. It turns out it is a starship is called "The Singer" for the eerie tones it emits. Crewed by an ancient artificial intelligence, in turns out that this ship belongs to a third race that is responsible for the destruction of the other two alien civilizations that once inhabited the Solar System.

## Major themes

The Heritage Trilogy focuses on the United States Marine Corps and Ian Douglas (a pseudonym for William H. Keith Jr.) shows his fondness for the Marine Corps by providing history and other trivia on this branch of the American military. The trilogy is also noted for its ability to evoke American patriotism.

# Hericium abietis

Hericium abietis, commonly known as the bear's head, conifer coral hericium, or western coral hedgehog, is an edible mushroom in the tooth fungus group. It grows on conifer stumps or logs in North America, producing a cream white fruit body up to 10–75 cm (4–30 in) tall and wide. It fruits from after the start of the fall rains to mid-season.

## Taxonomy

The species was first described as Hydnum abietis by American botanist James Robert Weir in 1931. Weir collected the type specimens in 1916, near the Priest River in Idaho. Kenneth Archibald Harrison transferred it to the genus Hericium in 1964. The mushroom is commonly known as the "bear's head" or the "western coral hedgehog".

## Description

The fruit body forms a compact, branched mass with long spines hanging down. The branches originate from a single, thick, tough base. The color of the fruit body ranges from white to creamy, light yellowish, to salmon-buff. The hanging spines are usually 0.5–1 cm (1⁄4–3⁄8 in) long, although some may be as long as 2.5 cm (1 in); they are soft and brittle, and typically grow as clusters at the tips of the branches. Typically, fruit bodies have dimensions in the range of 10 to 75 cm (4 to 30 in) tall and wide, but they have been known to attain massive sizes; one noted specimen was about 100 pounds (45 kg).
Hericium abietis produces a white spore print. The spores are spherical or nearly so, smooth to slightly roughened, amyloid, and measure 4.5–5.5 by 4–5 μm. The hyphae are monomitic (consisting of only generative hyphae), and they have clamp connections.

### Similar species

Hericium erinaceus is a lookalike spine fungus. It can be distinguished by its more compact fruit body structure that lacks multiple branches, in which the hanging spines all originate from a single thick tubercle. In Hericium coralloides, the spines line the undersides of the branches, unlike H. abietis, whose spines are arranged in clusters at the tip of branches.

### Edibility

Hericium abietis is edible and choice. David Arora suggests that cooking the mushroom produces a flavor similar to fish, and that it is suitable for sauteing, marinating, or preparing as a curry dish.

## Habitat and distribution

Hericium abietis causes a white rot of conifers; this is a form of wood decay featuring a selective attack on lignin and hemicellulose in wood. The fruit bodies grow singly or occasionally in small groups on the dead wood of conifers, especially Douglas fir. It can also be cultivated on conifer sawdust or logs. The species is found throughout North America.
# Herman Schultz

Herman Schultz may refer to:
* Shocker (comics), a Marvel Comics supervillain with the alter ego Herman Schultz
* Herman Schultz (sport shooter) (1901–?), Monegasque sports shooter
* Herman C. Schultz (1860–?), member of the Wisconsin State Senate
* Herman Schultz (astronomer) (1823–1890), Swedish astronomer
# Perry State Park

Perry State Park is a state park located in Jefferson County, near Ozawkie, Kansas, United States, 20 miles (32 km) northeast of Topeka.
The state park features camping, a beach, hiking and a fishing and boating area. Perry State Park was established in 1968 after an agreement was made between the Kansas Parks and Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
# Peter Duffy

Peter Duffy QC (25 August 1954 – 5 March 1999) was a British barrister. Educated at Wimbledon College, London, he read law at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, where he received a first class degree. He went on to Queen Mary College, London, where he taught from 1979 to 1989. He was called to the Bar by Lincoln's Inn in 1978. He took silk in 1997.
As a barrister Peter Duffy made a significant contribution to the advancement of human rights. He appeared in many of the most important human rights cases of the 1990s. Most notably he successfully appeared on behalf of Diane Blood in the Court of Appeal in her bid to try and conceive her dead husband's child.
He was a tireless advocate on behalf of gay rights. He persuaded the European Commission of Human Rights to condemn discrimination in the gay age of consent and he challenged the ban on gays and lesbians in the armed forces.
He later represented Amnesty International, the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture and others in the Pinochet case before the House of Lords. From 1989 to 1991 he was chairman of Amnesty's international executive committee.

## Death

He died in London on 5 March 1999, aged 44.

## Legacy

The Peter Duffy Human Rights Award is awarded annually by Lincoln's Inn. It provides money for young barristers to spend three months under supervision at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
Another award that bears his name is the Peter Duffy Scholarship, awarded annually by the Bar European Group, a Specialist Bar Association of the Bar Council of England and Wales, of which Duffy had been Chair at the time of his death in 1999.
Finally, The Human Rights Lawyer's Association annually awards the Peter Duffy Memorial Award. This award highlights the strongest applicant to their bursary scheme, which assists law students in undertaking internships and other unpaid work in the human rights field.
# Peter Cole (linguist)

After teaching there for 15 years, he moved to the University of Delaware, where he worked until his retirement in 2019.

## Scientific contributions

Peter Cole's main contributions have been to the study of comparative syntax, especially with respect to relative clauses (e.g. Cole et al. 1977; Cole 1987), switch-reference (e.g. Cole 1983), and reflexive constructions (e.g. Cole et al. 1990; Cole et al. 2006; Cole et al. 2015).

He married again, to Cora Shanks of St. Louis, in Idaho Springs, Colorado, in August 1906. They divorced in 1922, the same year he married Bertha Dent, 22, his stenographer.
He died of cancer at the age of 59 on September 1, 1926, in Rolla.
