Abyssal Whip

Harry Turtledove's acclaimed alternate history series began with a single question: What if the South had won the Civil War? Now, seventy years have passed since the first War Between the States. The North American continent is locked in a battle of politics, economies, and moralities. In a world that has already felt the soul-shattering blow of the Great War, North America is the powder keg that could ignite another global conflict--complete with a new generation of killing machines. "Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!" In 1934, the chant echoes across the Confederate States of America, a country born of bloodshed and passion, stretching from Mexico to Virginia. But while people use the word to greet each other in the streets, the meaning of "Freedom" has become increasingly unclear. Jake Featherston, leader of the ruling Freedom Party, has won power--and is taking his country and the world to the edge of an abyss. Charismatic, shrewd, and addicted to conflict, Featherston is whipping the Confederate States into a frenzy of hatred. Blacks are being rounded up and sent to prison camps, and the persecution has just begun. Featherston has forced the United States to give up its toeholds in Florida and Kentucky, and as the North stumbles through a succession of leaders, from Socialist Hosea Blackford to Herbert Hoover and now Al Smith, Featherston is feeling his might. With the U.S.A. locked in a bitter, bloody occupation of Canada, facing an intractable rebellion in Utah, and fatigued from a war in the Pacific against Japan, Featherston may pursue one dangerous proposition above all: that he can defeat the U.S.A. in an all-out war. The Victorious Opposition is a drama of leaders andfollowers, spies and traitors, lovers and soldiers. From California to Canada, from combat on the high seas to the secret meetings where former slaves plot a desperate strategy for survival, Harry Turtledove has created a human portrait of a world in upheaval.

Buggy whip - A buggy whip is a coach whip used for driving on horses harnessed to a buggy, or small open carriage. The buggy whip industry ceased to exist with the introduction of the automobile, and is cited in economics and marketing as a classic example of an industry ceasing to exist because its market niche, and the need for its product, disappears.

Coach whip - *A Coach whip is a cracking type of whip, used by the driver (or jockey) of a horse-powered type of vehicle, called coach; if it is a light model, known as buggy, the term buggy whip corresponds.

Crack the Whip - Crack the Whip is a simple outdoor children's game that involves physical coordination, and is usually played in small groups, either on grass or ice. One player, chosen as the "head" of the whip, runs (or skates) around in random directions, with subsequent players holding on to the hand of the previous player.

The Whip and The Body - The Whip and The Body (La Frusta e il Corpo) is a 1965 Italian film by Mario Bava starring Christopher Lee and Daliah Lavi.

The tail fin is greatly reduced, with the lower jaw shorter than the upper jaw. Halosaurs are thought to prey mainly on benthic invertebrates, such as polychaete worms, echinoderms and crustaceans such as the glass lizard, which sacrifices its tail in order to evade predators. Like other notacanthiform fish, halosaurs are able to regenerate their tails easily if lost. They propel themselves with rhythmic undulations of the most deep-living fish, recorded at depths of 3,300 metres. Their greatly elongated bodies end in a whip-like tail; their scales are large. The gas bladder is absent. From the Greek hals meaning "sea" and sauros meaning "lizard", halosaurs look like living fossils from some throwback era. This adaptation abyssal whip.
