Download or read book A Legend Called Tanniv written by Danny Hanna and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: England has an abundance of ancient stone circles, and the world is full of stone rings and megalithic places. Places like Stonehenge, The Avebury Rings, Carnac in France, even the newly found Göbeklitepe in Turkey have been discovered in more recent years, but no one knows why or what they were used for. But what if two boys discover the actual answers to the archaeological questions that have perplexed the world for thousands of years? What if two boys knew all the answers to all the enigmas? Questions that scholars and historians worldwide have been desperately attempting to find for centuries but are largely unaware of what they are used for? This is a story about how two young boys discovered the hidden secrets of the past and could understand why civilisations and Empires have forged over the past twelve thousand years, only to be lost and forgotten again. Living in the New Forest in England, two boys discover a hidden stone circle in the countryside: only to find out what they were used for and why they existed; only to find out where they lead to, why they were built in the first place; only to find a closely guarded secret that only a few would know and a long-forgotten past with civilisations that rose to glory then collapsed into the ashes of history. A sophisticated network of stone circles crisscross the globe, and voices from the past whistle in the wind around our accidental megaliths, waiting to be discovered.

Book excerpt: Traces how the "tanning" phenomenon raised a generation of black, Hispanic, white, and Asian consumers who have the same "mental complexion" based on shared experiences and values. This consumer is a mindset-not a race or age-that responds to shared values and experiences, rather than the increasingly irrelevant demographic boxes that have been used to a fault by corporate America."--

Download or read book Curses Broiled Again written by Jan Harold Brunvand and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1990-08-17 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the master folklorist and sly wit, Jan Brunvand, comes a collection of all-new urban legends. Did your cousin's wife's dentist's daughter go to the tanning parlor once too often and had her insides cooked? Has your husband's brother's nephew teacher try to make a dead rabbit look alive? If so, you've heard—or you yourself may have told—two of the seventy-plus legends in this collection. Urban legends are "those bizarre but believable stories about batter-fried rats, spiders in hairdos, Cabbage Patch dolls that get funerals, and the like that pass by word of mouth as being the gospel truth." But of course, though often told as having happened to a FOAF (friend of a friend), they aren't true. Included in this collection are legends about sex, horror, cars, business, and academia. Among them are "The Bible Student's Exam," "The Pregnant Shoplifter," "The Ice Cream Cone Caper," "Don't Mess with Texas," and "Mrs. Fields' Cookie Recipe."
Download or read book Symbolism Dada Surrealisms written by Mary Ann Caws and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2024-07-06 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of highlights from Mary Ann Caws’s long, highly distinguished career writing about literature, art, and modernism. Throughout her long, highly distinguished career writing about literature and art, Mary Ann Caws has excavated, illuminated, and examined in depth the most intriguing works and personalities of Symbolism, Dada, Surrealism, and beyond. In these concise, but always colorful and insightful articles, Caws brings us fresh portraits of the most famous figures and introduces us to the writers and artists who merit more attention than they’ve received, with a special focus on female writers and artists. The author’s sensitivity to the intersections of eccentric literature and eccentric life infuses each critical essay with the human passions that these essential modernists lived. From Dickinson and Mallarmé to Duchamp and Mina Loy, Caws applies the art of close looking to shrewdly framed slices of the modernist experience.
