Book excerpt: Leaving the Dead is a collection of eighteen stories about the long slow dance with death and the heartbreak of life—no zombies allowed. When a writer runs into the ghost of his father who died of Alzheimer’s, death has restored his memory, and he’s eager to share. An unlikely couple and an abandoned-seeing eye dog find happiness after everyone else dies. A college freshman goes home for the holidays with her lover who claims to be a robot—and takes her to an abandoned factory on Christmas Eve where she was born. A cat on death’s door is miraculously healed by his owner, but lives on and on and never ages. When the broken dream factory shuts down, its most devoted worker has to figure out how the world will get along without broken dreams. A Confederate ghost whose grave marker is a stumpy stone with a number tells what he was really fighting for after the Segway tour has rolled away. In the Vietnam days when BF Skinner was king, a young man fasting to flunk his draft physical raises lab rats for the psych department to run mazes that always end with a one-way ticket to the herpetarium. A young poet turns his art into a religion for the inspiration and the tax break, and just maybe, immortality. A strong young woman hacking a home out of a mountainside thinks she has a rattlesnake problem until she learns to love them, and they love her back. A carnival performer sings a beautiful song and plummets to her death but rises to live and sing another performance, as long as someone in the crowd would willingly die in her place. In a triptych of novelettes an old man traces his alien roots all the way back to the mysterious geological feature known as The Abyss.
Download or read book Low Mountains Or High Tea written by Steve Sieberson and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019-09-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Steve Sieberson and his wife unexpectedly found themselves in Britain with an entire summer on their hands, they readily agreed to avoid the usual tourist attractions, opting instead for a road trip to the UK's far-flung national parks. As they set out, however, he envisioned bracing days of energetic hillwalking, while she assumed they would relax in tearooms and cozy pubs. Seldom planning more than a few days in advance, the two traversed the country in a rented Vauxhall, subjecting themselves to single-track lanes, diabolical signage, and whimsical advice from locals. They discovered a town called Mirthless, a place where cats' eyes are removed, and a vibrating cottage, while at mealtimes they dove fearlessly into black pudding, Eton mess, and barely recognizable enchiladas. Meanwhile, after their initial attempts at hiking together nearly ended in disaster, Sieberson received dispensation to scramble alone to the highest point in each national park--as long as he was quick about it and left plenty of time for more sedentary pursuits. Low Mountains or High Tea dishes up the charms and eccentricities of rural Great Britain as seen through the eyes of two Americans who never really knew what was coming next.

Download or read book Not the Slightest Chance written by Tony Banham and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2003-02-01 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 10% of Hong Kong's defenders were killed in battle; a further 20% died in captivity. Those who survived seldom spoke of their experiences. Many died young. The little 'primary' material surviving – written in POW camps or years after the events – is contradictory and muddled. Yet with just 14,000 defending the Colony, it was possible to write from the individual's point of view rather than that of the Big Battalions so favoured by God (according to Napoleon) and most historians. The book assembles a phase-by-phase, day-by-day, hour-by-hour, and death-by-death account of the battle. It considers the individual actions that made up the fighting, as well as the strategies and plans and the many controversies that arose. Not the Slightest Chance will be of interest to military historians, Hong Kong residents and visitors, and those in the UK, Canada, and elsewhere whose family members fought, or were interned, in Hong Kong during the war years.

Download or read book Nanga Parbat The Ultimate Chronicle written by Robert Ransauer and published by novum publishing. This book was released on 2024-09-13 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Nanga Parbat is long and multifaceted. It was often personified as implacable and unapproachable. Attempts to climb it were made as early as the 19th century. Between the First and Second World Wars it was named the 'mountain of destiny for the Germans' and abused by National Socialist propaganda. The best mountaineers lost their lives in large numbers. In the 1950s, the decade of the first ascents of 8,000m peaks, "Nanga" also fell. Its first climber, the unforgettable Hermann Buhl, would have celebrated his 100th birthday in 2024. This story from a long-forgotten time up to the days of modern mountaineering is dedicated to him.
