Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Betram Grey's Second Notebook By: Kevin Garrett A guard, in a world of perfect people, stands watch over one imperfect man, imprisoned in a steel cage, but is his prisoner a Monster who wants to destroy the world, or is he a Savior who wants to keep the world from destroying itself with too much kindness? Is it possible that the game of chess was meant not as a contest of war between its opponents, but instead, as a game of peace, designed to promote happiness and joy between the participants of the game? Is there baseball in Heaven, and if there is, are the rules still the same? A man envies a robot for its immortality and its beautiful design, and a robot envies a man for being what he is, doomed to the certainty of death and decay, and yet imbued with a hope for something more. The entire adult population of the Earth awakens one day to find that they have all become millionaires. The money is real enough, but as they soon discover, it is sometimes a good idea to “look a gift horse” squarely in the mouth before accepting it. In this second companion novel to To The Faithless and The Unbelieving BERTRAM GREY, Kevin Garrett resurrects the second spiral notebook of short stories that Bertram Grey burned in his uncle’s fireplace, and offers a conclusion to the story of Bertram Grey and his Uncle Jacob.

Download or read book Thermia written by L. P. Growney and published by Vantage Press, Inc. This book was released on 2009-05 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of years ago, a massive column of magma reached the base of the crust under the Oregon/Idaho/Nevada tri-state area and thus began one of the greatest terrestrial eruptive events the world has ever seen. As the North American continent continues to drift over the fiery source, the path of destruction has shifted eastward to a point under the Yellowstone National Park where geysers and other thermal features bubble up from the cracks and depressions, as the pressure beneath continues to grow to the next cataclysmic crescendo. In Thermia: Dawn of Armageddon, L.P. Growney has created a fictional society in which geophysics professor Ben Nickolas attempts attempts to determine the cause of the increase in unusual geological activity while anthropologist Dr. Karin McDonald endeavors to interpret symbols left by their ancient ancestors in an effort to demystify the Creation Myth. As their paths cross they will come closer to discovering the answer to a terrible secret that will, ultimately, result in the destruction of Thermia.

Book excerpt: The fullest, most textural, most accurate—most human—account of Oscar Wilde's unique and dazzling life—based on extensive new research and newly discovered materials, from Wilde's personal letters and transcripts of his first trial to newly uncovered papers of his early romantic (and dangerous) escapades and the two-year prison term that shattered his soul and his life.

Download or read book Understanding Morphology written by Martin Haspelmath and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of Understanding Morphology has been fully revised in line with the latest research. It now includes 'big picture' questions to highlight central themes in morphology, as well as research exercises for each chapter. Understanding Morphology presents an introduction to the study of word structure that starts at the very beginning. Assuming no knowledge of the field of morphology on the part of the reader, the book presents a broad range of morphological phenomena from a wide variety of languages. Starting with the core areas of inflection and derivation, the book presents the interfaces between morphology and syntax and between morphology and phonology. The synchronic study of word structure is covered, as are the phenomena of diachronic change, such as analogy and grammaticalization. Theories are presented clearly in accessible language with the main purpose of shedding light on the data, rather than as a goal in themselves. The authors consistently draw on the best research available, thus utilizing and discussing both functionalist and generative theoretical approaches. Each chapter includes a summary, suggestions for further reading, and exercises. As such this is the ideal book for both beginning students of linguistics, or anyone in a related discipline looking for a first introduction to morphology.

Download or read book Forbidden Fruit Atlantis Aliens and Cellular Dreams written by Kevin Garrett and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forbidden Fruit, Atlantis, Aliens, and Cellular Dreams by Kevin Garrett EDEN AS TIDAL POOL GARDEN The author suggests The Garden of Eden as a kind of tidal pool garden, an underwater laboratory in which God, The Molecular Biologist, created all animal life on the Earth. This possibility was hinted in Genesis Chapter 2, verse 4 and 5. The Scriptures read, “The Lord had sent no rain upon the Earth…but a stream was welling up out of the earth and was watering all the surface of the ground.” Also in verse 10, The Scriptures read, “a river rises in Eden to water the garden.” TREE OF LIFE, TREE OF KNOWLEDGE With Eden as an underwater garden, the author further suggests The Tree of Life and The Tree of Knowledge as the biological structures from which all animal life on the planet originated. In stripping away all supernatural elements from the myth story, while holding to Biblical Scripture, the author attempts a retelling of the myth story from a purely scientific perspective. In keeping with this proposition, The Tree of Life is redefined as the structure that provided the male reproductive cell; The Tree of Knowledge is redefined as the structure that provided the female reproductive cell; The Forbidden Fruit, itself, is redefined as The Reproductive Egg. THE EATING OF THE FRUIT From these suppositions, and with Biblical Scripture as his guide, the author reinterprets “The Eating of the Forbidden Fruit,” recorded in the book of Genesis, as “The Absorption of the Reproductive Egg into the Female Body.” This new interpretation of The Garden of Eden Myth Story, reconciles two important questions regarding the myth story. These questions are: 1) How can eating a fruit cause a man and a woman to realize that they are naked? 2) How can eating a fruit cause a female to experience pain in childbirth? Other little mysteries concerning life on Earth made more understandable by this new interpretation of The Garden of Eden Myth Story include our often bizarre attitude toward sex, The Alien Abduction Phenomenon, and, concerning the chicken and the egg…which one came first? This book is a companion work to the author’s first book, To The Faithless and The Unbelieving BERTRAM GREY, which was Runner-Up at the 2014 Green Book Festival and Runner-Up at the 2014 Southern California Book Festival.
