And behind the stark, black stems of the forest trees glimmered an unearthly fire. The very mystery of life itself was in the chill, sweet air, and the two hushed their voices so that they sounded scarcely louder than the rustle of the fallen leaves under their feet and the drowsy stirring of the unseen, living things about them.

Download or read book Seceding from Secession written by Eric J. Wittenberg and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “thoroughly researched [and] historically enlightening” account of how the Commonwealth of Virginia split in two in the midst of war (Civil War News). “West Virginia was the child of the storm.” —Mountaineer historian and Civil War veteran Maj. Theodore F. Lang As the Civil War raged, the northwestern third of the Commonwealth of Virginia finally broke away in 1863 to form the Union’s 35th state. Seceding from Secession chronicles those events in an unprecedented study of the social, legal, military, and political factors that converged to bring about the birth of West Virginia. President Abraham Lincoln, an astute lawyer in his own right, played a critical role in birthing the new state. The constitutionality of the mechanism by which the new state would be created concerned the president, and he polled every member of his cabinet before signing the bill. Seceding from Secession includes a detailed discussion of the 1871 U.S. Supreme Court decision Virginia v. West Virginia, in which former Lincoln cabinet member Salmon Chase presided as chief justice over the court that decided the constitutionality of the momentous event. Grounded in a wide variety of sources and including a foreword by Frank J. Williams, former Chief Justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court and Chairman Emeritus of the Lincoln Forum, this book is indispensable for anyone interested in American history.
Download or read book Harbinger of the Storm written by Aliette de Bodard and published by Jabberwocky Literary Agency, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second book in the critically acclaimed Obsidian and Blood trilogy: The year is Two House, and the Emperor of the Mexica has just died. The protections he afforded the Empire are crumbling, and the way lies wide open to the flesh-eating star-demons--and to the return of their creator, a malevolent goddess only held in check by the War God's power. The council should convene to choose a new Emperor, but they are too busy plotting against each other. And then someone starts summoning star-demons within the palace, to kill councilmen... Acatl, High Priest of the Dead, must find the culprit before everything is torn apart. REVIEWS: ‘Political intrigue and rivalry among a complex pantheon of divinities drive this well-paced murder mystery set at the height of the Aztec Empire in the late 15th century. De Bodard reintroduces the series hero Acatl, high priest of the dead, immediately following the death of the Tenochtitlan leader. One of the council members in charge of choosing a successor has been brutally murdered in what looks like an attempt to influence the decision. But the deaths continue and the political situation grows more complex, while the empire looks to be increasingly at risk of invasion by malignant powers. Acatl must go face-to-face with the most powerful god in his world and put the good of the empire above his antipathy for is rivals to achieve the uneasy succession. De Bodard incorporates historical fact with great ease and manages the rare feat of explaining complex culture and political system without lecturing or boring the reader.’ —Publishers Weekly ‘Another thing that intrigues me here is the whole fact that historically we know that the real empire died out mysteriously and completely and as such there is always that thought in the back of my mind that the author could choose to bring about the end of days. That highlighted sense of possible doom is something that is missing from too many novels. The way the story is told in this book is very impressive, the plot is both mature and seductive, twisting and turning like a weather vane in a force 9 gale while the action is both bloodthirsty and imaginative. The world building is fantastic and we get to learn even more of this rich culture and the many gods and creatures of the dark. I really can’t fault this book at all and recommend it to one and all but if you haven’t yet read Servant of the Underworld I suggest that you get them both and read them in order, you won’t be disappointed.’ —SF Book Reviews ‘Bodard’s writing is polished and striking, as she convincingly fills in the colorful elements of the Aztec culture–even if those colors tend to be of blood and bile as well as flowers and hummingbirds... beautiful, grimy, breathtaking, and morbid. 5*’ —Examiner ‘Aliette de Bodard has done it again. Harbinger of the Storm is an action packed Aztec mystery opera with magic, interventions from the gods and more twists and turns than the first book. It even has a love story with amusing snippets here and there... The story is self contained and can be enjoyed standalone, but you will not want to miss out on the first. I wish it was 2012 already even if the world is going under while I read the final Obsidian & Blood.’ —Cybermage

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Snow Storm Lastly - though not least - That I may express some sentiments in rela tion to a subject of deep import to the rising generation, if not to that which is now upon the stage of action, and give them a more per manent position than through the ordinary channels of the Press. Almost every man and woman has a vivid recollection of the terrors of school. Days; of the acts of injustice, tyranny and cruelty inflicted by their teachers. I certainly have. Very deficient from birth in number, acquisitiveness and secretive ness, (so styled by the phrenologists, ) in my childish days arithmetic was so profound a mystery that I could scarcely comprehend that two and two make four yet I was required to perform the same sums as those who, from their different mental conformation, delighted in figures. It being impossible to comply, I was cut and threshed with hickory or other rods, until my flesh would not only be much bruised but also raw. At last, to obviate such suffering, I yielded to the teachings of those boys who compassionated me, and commenced a game of deceit by hiring and begging the doing of my sums by those who were competent. If un fortunately they committed an error, I paid the penalty by receiving a good threshing. Thus the brute of a teacher forced me to learn. And practice fraud and deception, against which my small secretiveness andlarge conscientiousness constantly rebelled. In reading and spelling I always led my class. Yet for my natural deficiency in figures I was cruelly, almost murderously, treated, to make the idle little rascal cypher. Witnessing that others who cyphered well were always being threshed for deficiencies in reading, spelling, etc., so indelible an impression was made upon my mind of some great wrong somewhere, that on arriving at manhood I determined that no child of mine should ever enter school if such ignoramuses were teachers and such systems pursued.
