When the paranormal world finally collides with reality, a series of events prompts each of them to set out on a quest to discover the truth about a world where all inhabitants should have one goal: to overcome the darkness and ascend humanity to the light. But do they? In this fantasy tale, a young woman ingests powerful pills and unleashes a chain of events that cause the paranormal world to collide with reality and create a new species of DNA.
Download or read book No Man s Land written by Elizabeth D. Samet and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the post-9/11 wars wind down, a literature professor at West Point explores what it means for soldiers, and our country, to be caught between war and peace. In her critically acclaimed, award-winning book Soldier's Heart, Elizabeth D. Samet grappled with the experience of teaching literature at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Now, with No Man's Land, Samet contends that we are entering a new moment: a no man's land between war and peace. Major military deployments are winding down, but soldiers are wrestling with the aftermath of war and the trials of returning home while also facing the prospect of low-intensity conflicts for years to come. Drawing on a range of experiences-from a visit to a ward of wounded combat veterans to correspondence with former cadets, from a conference on Edith Wharton and wartime experience to teaching literature and film to future officers-Samet illuminates an ambiguous passage through no man's land that has left deep but difficult-to-read traces on our national psyche, our culture, our politics, and, most especially, an entire generation of military professionals. In No Man's Land, Elizabeth D. Samet offers a moving, urgent examination of what it means to negotiate the tensions between war and peace, between "over there" and "over here"-between life on the front and life at home. She takes the reader on a vivid tour of this new landscape, marked as much by the scars of war as by the ordinary upheavals of homecoming, to capture the essence of our current historical moment.

Download or read book New German Literature written by Julian Preece and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-five essays by scholars from the UK, Ireland, Germany and Australia explore two aspects of new German-language literature. The first dozen studies focus on the variety and depth of the 'dialogue' - in the sense of reciprocal influences - between literature, photography, film, painting, architecture, and music. The remaining essays alight on 'Life-Writing' in most of its forms (diaries, memoirs, autobiographies, and autobiographical fiction) and examine its centrality in recent years in German literature, not least because of the shadow which World War Two continues to cast over national life.

Book excerpt: After an epic, two continents, two-country, multi-city battle with Adam Clark’s ruthless CTAC assassins, Sergeant Hammer’s rogue Special Forces operators, the storied Red Army Faction, homicidal Latin Kings, and brutally corrupt prison officials belonging to the violent Brotherhood of the Iron Hammer, Dexter, and his S.W.O.R.D. operatives have emerged victorious. However, Dexter’s suspicions about the level of funds and technology available to the team are confirmed when Harold Ashford orders him to have S.W.O.R.D. sever all ties with the Urban Justice Research Institute and prepare for a new mission with their true employer. In Langley, Virginia, CIA Associate Deputy Director of Operations Marc Lubet, who is also secretly a member of CTAC, knows that Dexter’s team raided CTAC headquarters in Dallas and possibly knows that his name is in the files that they downloaded. With his eyes set on becoming the Director of the CIA, he devises a plan to free Sergeant Hammer and his rogue Special Forces operators from military custody to use them to eliminate Dexter and his team and recover the files they stole. To make things even more complicated, Colonel Diamond is about to disrupt Dexter’s life by preparing extreme measures that are meant to transform him into what he needs to be to complete his new, mysterious mission. Dexter is forced to delve deep into the darkest areas of his psyche and instincts as the Colonel sends him on a perilous operation in the most dangerous place in the world, and mercilessly forces him to face his greatest fear. Dexter’s powerful employer emerges from the shadows and tasks him to attempt one of the greatest top-secret missions in modern history, which if successful, will have a lasting global impact. But first, he will have to survive the deadly trials set by his father, and the multiple unsanctioned assassination attempts by Marc Lubet’s unrelenting contract mercenaries.

Download or read book Francesca Woodman s Dark Gaze written by Claire Raymond and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the later work of the American photographer Francesca Woodman (1958-1981), Claire Raymond takes up the question of the disintegrative condition of the art she produced in the last year of her life. Departing from the techniques of her earlier compositions, Woodman worked in the diazotype process for many of these late pieces, most importantly the monumental Blueprint for a Temple. Raymond shows that through her use of diazotype, a medium that breaks down when exposed to light, Woodman created art that is both supremely evocative aesthetically and inherently unstable physically. Woodman, Raymond contends, was imaginatively responding to the end of the durable image, a historical reality acknowledged in the way her work plays the ephemeral and evanescent against the monumental and enduring. Raymond focuses on the theoretical and the curatorial issues surrounding Woodman's diazotypes, a thematic and practical distress that haunts much of her later art, especially the artist's book and photo series Some Disordered Interior Geometries and Portrait of a Reputation. Rather than conceiving of Woodman herself as fragile, an artist chronicling and seeming to yearn for her own disappearance, Raymond juxtaposes Woodman's career-spanning documentation of her own image against other post-war witnesses of trauma - an artist standing in the museum ruins where she emerges most distinctly as a figure of postmodernity.

Download or read book British Battle Planning in 1916 and the Battle of Fromelles written by Roger Lee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the substantial output of revisionist scholarship over the last decade reappraising the performance of the British Army on the Western Front during the First World War, there still remains a stubborn perception that its commanders were incompetent, inflexible and unimaginative. Whilst much ink has been spilled vilifying or defending individual commanders, or looking for overarching trends and ’learning curves’, this is the first work to examine systematically the vertical nature of command - that is the transmission of plans from the high-command down through the rank structure to the front line. Through such an investigation, a much more rounded measure of the effectiveness of British commanders can be gained; one moves the argument beyond the overly simplistic ’casualties to ground gained’ equation that is usually offered. The Battle of Fromelles (19-20 July 1916) was selected as the case study as it was relatively small in scale, in the right period, and retains sufficient primary sources available to sustain the analysis. It also witnessed the first time Australian forces were used in offensive operations on the Western Front, and thus looms large in wider Commonwealth perceptions of ’Bumbling British Generals’. The book follows the progress of the battle plan from its inception in the strategic designs of the supreme commander down through the various intermediate level commands at operational and tactical headquarters until it became the orders that sent the infantry forward into the attack. In so doing it provides a unique insight into the strengths and weaknesses of British command structure, allowing a much more scholarly judgement of its overall effectiveness.

Book excerpt: If starting a company is difficult, leading a company once the business has caught fire is infinitely more so. Thousands of startups each year approach the dangerous transition that Doug Tatum calls No Man's Land—when they are too big too be considered small but still too small to be considered big. Rapid growth is every entrepreneur's dream, but it never comes easily and is usually rife with dilemmas. Such growth should spark self-discovery, acquired discipline, and positive but difficult transition. Unfortunately, it often becomes an agonizng battle between the tendencies of a lonely entrepreneur and certain immutable laws of growth. The result is confusion, frustration, stagnation, loss of employee morale, and, at worst, financial failure. The good news is that Doug Tatum knows exactly what it takes to get through No Man's Land: a map, a high place from which to orient yourself, and navigational rules to help you track your progress. Through case studies and stories of successes and failures, No Man's Land will help you learn how to: • Align your growing company with its market. • Execute the necessary changes in your management. • Confirm that your financial model is scalable. • Attract money and make smart decisions about financing your business. If you're an entrepreneur, this book will help you make your company all it can be and all you want it to be.
