Download or read book The Devil s Land written by Ahuronyeze Ab Sunday Ahuronyeze Abakwue and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Satan took over America, he created a new cult of civilization. For example, he built the flying cities on earth and he deployed them around the weak world. He changes the Oceans, and the major rivers of the world into mere ponds, all to serve his diabolic objectives. He twisted the mind of the peoples' nation, and even the mind of civilization. And, at a point, the diabolic excesses began to offend God . . . And, God began to react. God began to fight back: He sent down, to the earth, a spy-angel, for each of the U.S. states, to monitor the evil deeds of the devil. And, then, God got even bolder, all to Satanic total displeasure. For example, when God caused the great national idol. Lady of Liberty, to be destroyed, Satan fought back. He speedily re-built it, turning the new idol of the nation into a walking robotic lady: with the exceptional features of the most beautiful lady. He declared a universal war on everything Divine. And, as the war began, there was a great bloodletting. Satan defeated God's angels who were sent down to fight him; one best time at a season, Satan was able to win a Great God in a holy war. And, having won a great victory, at a very huge loss, he re-built his kingdom, with America as his Universal Capital. And, to prevent God from another invasion, he stationed all his terribly armed flying cities, ready to fight, all in the open sky.

Download or read book Plant Conservation written by Timothy Walker and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plants’ ability to turn sunlight into energy makes them the basis for all life; without them there is no life. And they are more than just a food source—they provide us with fuel, fibers, and pharmaceuticals. Global warming and the destruction of natural habitats are a serious threat to many plants, and there are worldwide efforts to mitigate the disaster. Plant Conservation tackles this essential topic head on. Timothy Walker, as the director of the Oxford Botanical Garden, a leader in the field of plant conservation, plays a key role in this effort. He highlights what is happening now, from cataloging the world’s flora to conservation efforts like protecting plants from overcollecting. He also shows home gardeners how they can become involved, whether by growing their own food to decrease reliance on large agriculture or by making smart plant choices by growing natives and avoiding invasives. Plant Conservation treats a critical topic in an accessible and optimistic way. It is required reading for students, professionals, and anyone with a keen interest in the importance of plants.
Download or read book Devil s Bargain written by Joshua Green and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The instant #1 New York Times bestseller. From the reporter who was there at the very beginning comes the revealing inside story of the partnership between Steve Bannon and Donald Trump—the key to understanding the rise of the alt-right, the fall of Hillary Clinton, and the hidden forces that drove the greatest upset in American political history. Based on dozens of interviews conducted over six years, Green spins the master narrative of the 2016 campaign from its origins in the far fringes of right-wing politics and reality television to its culmination inside Trump’s penthouse on election night. The shocking elevation of Bannon to head Trump’s flagging presidential campaign on August 17, 2016, hit political Washington like a thunderclap and seemed to signal the meltdown of the Republican Party. Bannon was a bomb-throwing pugilist who’d never run a campaign and was despised by Democrats and Republicans alike. Yet Bannon’s hard-edged ethno-nationalism and his elaborate, years-long plot to destroy Hillary Clinton paved the way for Trump’s unlikely victory. Trump became the avatar of a dark but powerful worldview that dominated the airwaves and spoke to voters whom others couldn’t see. Trump’s campaign was the final phase of a populist insurgency that had been building up in America for years, and Bannon, its inscrutable mastermind, believed it was the culmination of a hard-right global uprising that would change the world. Any study of Trump’s rise to the presidency is unavoidably a study of Bannon. Devil’s Bargain is a tour-de-force telling of the remarkable confluence of circumstances that decided the election, many of them orchestrated by Bannon and his allies, who really did plot a vast, right-wing conspiracy to stop Clinton. To understand Trump's extraordinary rise and Clinton’s fall, you have to weave Trump’s story together with Bannon’s, or else it doesn't make sense.

Download or read book Disaster Was My God written by Bruce Duffy and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2011-07-19 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of the critically acclaimed novel The World as I Found It brilliantly reimagines the scandalous life of the pioneering, proto-punk poet Arthur Rimbaud. Arthur Rimbaud, the enfant terrible of French letters, more than holds his own with Lord Byron and Oscar Wilde in terms of bold writing and salacious interest. In the space of one year—1871—with a handful of startling poems he transformed himself from a teenaged bumpkin into the literary sensation of Paris. He was taken up, then taken in, by the older and married poet Paul Verlaine in a passionate affair. When Rimbaud sought to end it, Verlaine, in a jealous rage, shot him. Shortly thereafter, Rimbaud—just shy of his twentieth birthday—declared himself finished with literature. His resignation notice was his immortal prose poem A Season in Hell. In time, Rimbaud wound up a prosperous trader and arms dealer in Ethiopia. But a cancerous leg forced him to return to France, to the family farm, with his sister and loving but overbearing mother. He died at thirty-seven. Bruce Duffy takes the bare facts of Rimbaud’s fascinating existence and brings them vividly to life in a story rich with people, places, and paradox. In this unprecedented work of fictional biography, Duffy conveys, as few ever have, the inner turmoil of this calculating genius of outrage, whose work and untidy life essentially anticipated and created the twentieth century’s culture of rebellion. It helps us see why such protean rock figures as Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, and Patti Smith adopted Rimbaud as their idol.

Download or read book The Devil s Race Track written by Mark Twain and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Twain explores the darker side of life in these lesser-known later writings dealing with personal tragedies, nightmarish world events, and a doubtful cosmic order. He views his own situation as that of a ship trapped in a fearsome Bermuda Triangle-like region, the Devil's Race-Track. He sees history as a treadmill of endlessly and monotonously repeated events. And he conceives of a universal food chain, a vast round of devourers who in their turn become victims, humankind and God included. The tone of these writings is lightened considerably by Mark Twain's sagely ironic humor and his warmth, which together balance his tough-mindedness. And even when he shows the human race caught in some vicious circle, he may be seen courageously seeking a way out and at times believing he has found it.
