But she isn’t making progress as the New Alliance questions her decision to unbind Earth’s magic and she’s forced to cover for Silas while the Fates send him on mysterious errands. When Maeve accidentally releases a creature from another realm onto the city streets, her face is splashed all over the news and DODSI demands that she figure out a way to rebind magic or face dire consequences. Maeve has to find a way to keep magic free while protecting her people, but she realizes someone is working against her when unexplained tears between realms open all around Boston, spewing unearthly creatures into the city. She can’t trust the government or her own people, and thanks to their deal with the Fates, she can’t even trust Silas. The only option left? Turning to old enemies.

Download or read book Brain Arrest or Doomsday Countdown written by Leonard Wittine and published by Paragon Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is inevitable that humankind will become extinct. Nowadays, the advance of technology has overtaken the human capacity to control the possible consequences of any kind of progress. Extinction is always multifactorial. Double-faced Janus Meerkater, a reborn Neanderthal and leading nanotechnologist, has created EMULATOR, an unexcelled thinking machine and technological singularity. Thus Murphy’s law and the Dürrenmatt principle are put in motion. Leo Lobeck the Trojan, Jason Stardust and Xixi Bruneau are fighting the technocalypse. Brain emulation in combination with wormhole physics could create an escape route for mankind. That way reality is broken and reveals itself as an illusion in the empirical dimensions of human experience. The world events turn out to be pure satire. In the end all human minds will be uploaded to EMULATOR and Friedrich Nietzsche, the great but unfortunately insane philosopher, will be God. “Perhaps we are all part of an experiment. Maybe to be human is just a test of what animate creatures would do given by nature limited intelligence and maximum ignorance.”

Download or read book Life on the Plains and Among the Diggings written by Alonzo Delano and published by . This book was released on 1857 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Aurora, New York, Alonzo Delano (1806-1874) moved on to the Midwest as a teenager. July 1848 found him a consumptive Ottawa, Illinois, storekeeper, and he joined a local California Company. He remained in the West after the Gold Rush, winning fame as an early California humorist. Life on the plains and among the diggings (1857) is based largely on letters from Delano published in Ottawa and New Orleans newspapers of the day (see Alonzo Delano's California correspondence [1952]). Covering the period April 1849-August 1852, he discusses his voyage to St. Joseph and an overland journey to California; sojourns in Sacramento, Marysville, and San Francisco; and experiences as a storekeeper at Mud Hill, Stingtown, Gold Lake, and Grass Valley. Other topics include quartz mining, crime and vigilantism, and real estate investment.
Download or read book On the Trail to the California Gold Rush written by Alonzo Delano and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lured by ?the astonishing accounts of the vast deposits of gold in California,? Alonzo Delano (1806?74) of Ottawa, Illinois, bid farewell to his wife and children and joined the rush to El Dorado. For the next five months?April to early September 1849?he persevered in writing his remarkably detailed diary, recounting his experiences among the more than thirty thousand goldseekers representing all thirty states who struggled across half of the continent to California?s ?gold fields.? With each entry the reader is drawn into the changing circumstances, from a hurried trailside burial of a comrade to a defense against an Indian attack; from suffering thirst in the desert to anger at a lazy campmate. ø Unlike most diarists who at the end of the epic journey gave up their demanding task, Delano continued his vivid account until the summer of 1851. He went on to report as a professional journalist, ranging far and wide across the scenes of life in the diggings and the cities, from prospecting along the Yuba River to witnessing lynch law in San Francisco. ø First published in 1854 as Life on the Plains and among the Diggings and deemed a California Gold Rush classic, this new edition will carry on the adventure for thousands of new readers.
Download or read book The Democratic Soul written by Aaron L. Herold and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2021-08-06 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Democratic Soul, Aaron L. Herold argues that liberal democracy's current crisis—of extreme polarization, rising populism, and disillusionment with political institutions—must be understood as the culmination of a deeper dissatisfaction with the liberal Enlightenment. Major elements of both the Left and the Right now reject the Enlightenment's emphasis on rights as theoretically unfounded and morally undesirable and have sought to recover a contrasting politics of obligation. But this has re-opened questions about the relationship between politics and religion long thought settled. To address our situation, Herold examines the political thought of Spinoza and Tocqueville, two authors united in support of liberal democracy but with differing assessments of the Enlightenment. Through an original reading of Spinoza's Theologico-Political Treatise, Herold uncovers the theological foundation of liberal democracy: a comprehensive moral teaching rehabilitating human self-interest, denigrating "devotion" as a relic of "superstition," and cultivating a pride in living, acting, and thinking for oneself. In his political vision, Spinoza articulates our highest hopes for liberalism, for he is confident such an outlook will produce both intellectual flourishing and a paradoxical recovery of community. But Spinoza's project contains tensions which continue to trouble democracy today. As Herold shows via a new interpretation of Tocqueville's Democracy in America, the dissatisfactions now destabilizing democracy can be traced to the Enlightenment's failure to find a place for religious longings whose existence it largely denied. In particular, Tocqueville described a natural human desire for a kind of happiness found, at least partly, in self-sacrifice. Because modernity weakens religion precisely as it makes democracy stronger than liberalism, it permits this desire to find new and dangerous outlets. Tocqueville thus sought to design a "new political science" which could rectify this problem and which therefore remains indispensable today in recovering the moderation lacking in contemporary politics.

Download or read book The Jewish Leaderships in Slovakia and Hungary During the Holocaust Era written by Ruth Landau and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-04-26 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the established narratives surrounding the Holocaust. The focus of this book is the comparative study of the history of two Jewish communities in Central Europe, Slovakia and Hungary, during the Holocaust. The study reveals that, although the Jews of Slovakia and Hungary expected to receive reliable information from their leaders regarding how to behave in view of the Nazis’ decrees, they were deported to the extermination camps without knowing where the journey would take them. In the spring of 1944, the Jewish leaders in both countries were fully informed about Auschwitz-Birkenau. Yet, they kept silent in order not to “create panic,” and did not warn the Jewish people of the impending disaster. Estimates suggest that 83% of Slovakia’s Jews, and 65% of Hungary’s Jews perished in the Holocaust. Almost all the Jewish leaders in these two countries survived the Holocaust. The study further shows that, although one of the leaders, Dr. Rudolf Kasztner, saved 1,684 Jews on the ‘Kasztner Train’, not only did he not share the information in his possession regarding the final destination of the deportees to Auschwitz, but he also disseminated false information in Cluj, the town where he was born. His desire to help German Nazi war criminals, by giving them favorable character evidence at the Nuremberg trials, remains a mystery to this day.
