Book excerpt: On December 17th, when Theo Bartlett and his little sisters, Olivia and Sophie, went into the woods behind their house to investigate the explosion they heard, the last thing they thought they'd find would be Santa Clause's sleigh, chock full of presents and an unexpected stowaway - a little green, ten-year-old alien named Gug! The Bartlett kids quickly realize that Gug and Santa have somehow switched places! Gug is here on earth while Santa is stuck on a spaceship somewhere in the galaxy! Theo, Olivia and Sophie know they only have one week to reunite their new alien buddy with his family while figuring out a way to get Santa back in time to save Christmas. And this all has to be done while keeping Gug secret from their friends and family! That alone would require a Christmas-sized miracle, but when you throw in an alien-hunting Mall Santa, an Air Force pilot with a grudge against St. Nick and the biggest bully at school (who is intent on making the Bartlett children miserable), their task seems darn near impossible! Will the siblings and Gug be able to save the day, or will millions of children wake up to find no presents under their trees Christmas morning? Kids of all ages, as well as their parents and grandparents, will love this fast-paced, fun, out-of-this-world, instant holiday classic.

In this fast paced, Children's holiday science fiction adventure, Edwin, a fourteen year old and an odd character dressed as Santa Claus attempt to stop aliens and save the planet in 1950's Manhattan. When Edwin cuts his finger, dripping a few drops of blood onto a bone-colored tracking device he becomes a target of a group of aliens that think he holds the secret to the human race's defeat. The only person who seems to know what to do is a fat man wearing a Santa Claus suit and he somehow seems to know just a little too much. Who is he and why does he know so much? Where did the aliens come from and what are they after? Can a Fourteen year old wandering the cold, empty streets of Manhattan late on Christmas Eve and an odd character dressed as Santa Claus stop the aliens, save the planet and discover the true meaning of Christmas? Readers are calling it "packed with humor, action" and "adventure" and "intelligent and thoroughly enjoyable." Grab hold of this children's science fiction Christmas adventure and take a wild ride. One day, Edwin's father, Fundy, witnesses a strange object falling out of the sky. When he realizes a person is in it, he helps the red suited man pull his strange vehicle out of the muck with his horse, Paulo. As Santa flies off, he accidentally drops his ring. After his encounter with the strange man, Fundy and his wife move to the United States, hoping to find happiness, but instead they eventually get divorced, placing Edwin in a children's home when neither of them could take care of their son. When Edwin is dropped off at the children's home, Fundy gives his son his most prized possession, the Santa's ring. Several years after his divorce, Fundy has remarried, has a little girl, acquired a decent job, and wishes for Edwin to come back home. Whether for rage or guilt, Edwin cannot bring himself to do this. He feels as though his home is no longer his own, as if a strange woman is living there. Edwin knows that he will no longer see his father and actual mother together ever again, but it's just not right to him. Called, "an absolute gem of a story aimed at our 8 -10 yr olds," it brings "a wonderful slant to a timeless classic" that seems to have always lived around Santa Claus and the gift of Christmas, bringing us closer to that Original Christmas. As the aliens chase Edwin through the cold, dark streets on Christmas Eve, steadily getting closer and closer, you will run with Edwin as he tries to determine what in the world is going on? Who are those people that are chasing him? Why does Santa seem to know about Edwin being tracked? Amid the dashing through a city to escape strange people chasing him, our hero discovers things about himself that he has never known and learns just how valuable family really is. During the fight between Edwin, Santa Claus and the aliens, our hero learns just how much difference loyalty and friendship can make and that family values are the real gifts that Christmas brings. "There is simply something about the character Edwin that I really fell in love with and latched on to. Perhaps it was his family situation and the decision that he had to make when deciding whether to live with his reconstructed family or stay at a children's home that naturally drew me to him." --Annette Huss A holiday Christmas tale about a dysfunctional family coming together married to a science fiction adventure involving an alien scouting party prior to a full scale alien invasion, this one is sure to please middle grade students and adults alike. Set in a 1950's Manhattan, the book has a retro feel but the situations and family conflicts are timeless.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all know Santa Claus: fat, jolly, omniscient, swift. Lives in a nice home in the Arctic, with the missus and a pack of elves. Well, forget what you know. Santa Claus is from Greenpoint, Brooklyn, as it turns out, and he's not as fat as he used to be. Here's something else you didn't know: he's been dabbling in some futuristic technology, and has found myriad ways to make his job possible. How can Santa know who's been naughty and nice? Simple: implant listening devices into your ornaments. How can he make it to every house Christmas Eve? That's nothing a little cloning and some wormholes can't solve. And he has plenty of other tactics: quantum entanglement, organ replacement, drug-induced hibernation, and unmanned aerial vehicles, to name just a few. In this fantastically illustrated, affectionate, and hilarious book, Gregory Mone uses science and technology to overturn the assumption that Santa can't be real. Drawing on the work of accomplished scientists and researchers, Mone gives us a whole new portrait of this remarkable man and the miracles he makes happen every year. With imaginative artwork and an eye-catching package, this book makes an outstanding Christmas gift for just about anyone.

Instead, got stuck with a desk job and the galaxy’s grumpiest boss. Thovin, an Ashanthian with giant wings and pitch-black eyes, always manages to find some last-minute work that makes me stay late. Good thing he’s easy on the eye. One day, he tells me the council overseeing our work has been spying on my conversations with other human abductees. They’ve read our messages coordinating this cycle’s cross-galaxy Secret Santa (Is nothing sacred?!) and want me to teach the office how to play as a way to highlight Earthen culture. It’s the last straw. I quit. There's got to be something more meaningful out there. Then Thovin shows up at my apartment, all dressed in red and claiming to be my Secret Santa. He wants to take me away from Osmatti Central Station overnight so I can help him “find my gift,” whatever that means. A little adventure is awfully tempting, even if it involves my hot ex-boss. It’s just a quick trip with a handsome Ashanthian dressed like Santa. What could go wrong?

Download or read book When Prophecy Fails written by Leon Festinger and published by Start Classics. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study reported in this volume grew out of some theoretical work one phase of which bore specifically on the behavior of individuals in social movements that made specific (and unfulfilled) prophecies. We had been forced to depend chiefly on historical records to judge the adequacy of our theoretical ideas until we by chance discovered the social movement that we report in this book. At the time we learned of it the movement was in mid-career but the prophecy about which it was centered had not yet been disconfirmed. We were understandably eager to undertake a study that could test our theoretical ideas under natural conditions.That we were able to do this study was in great measure due to the support obtained through the Laboratory for Research in Social Relations of the University of Minnesota. This study is a project of the Laboratory and was carried out while we were all members of its staff. We should also like to acknowledge the help we received through a grant-in-aid from the Ford Foundation to one of the authors a grant that made preliminary exploration of the field situation possible.
