Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens after the dream comes true? Surely this must be "happily ever after." Anna Merritt is going to live in England, she has a job with the Truman Foundation, and she is being reunited with all her old companions - even Nicholas. But when life in London turns out to be quite different from how she'd imagined it, and when Mr. Diggs turns up again with a plan to destroy what the Trumans have worked so hard to build, Anna and her friends must all reconsider the dream of "home" - and what they are willing to sacrifice for it. Interview with the Author Q: What makes the Gatekeeper trilogy special? A: Who doesn't like a bit of adventure, particularly of the European kind? The Gatekeeper trilogy takes the reader through adventure in every form. In the first book, adventure finds us unexpectedly; in the second, we learn the dangers of trying to manufacture adventure for ourselves; in the third, we realize that the truest and biggest adventures always turn out to be rather different than what we've planned. Q: What is the main character like? A: Anna Miranda Merritt is a girl very much like me - a likeness which is the cause of most of her woes, alas. Her unquenchable thirst for beauty and meaning leads her right into the literary, cultural arms of Oxford University, a place which captures her heart and awakens new dreams in her soul. It is this love of all things British - and, more importantly, the deep and surprising relationships she discovers in England, Ireland, and beyond- that makes her coming of age story uniquely poignant. Q: Do I have to read the books in order? A: I have an abiding devotion to order, particularly of the chronological kind. I wrote these books over a period of thirteen years, so they are a kind of authorial autobiography. Ergo, reading the trilogy in order certainly gives some insight, as you can chart the personal and artistic growth of the author along with the main character. That being said...I also have an abiding commitment to personal freedoms. Do what you will; I believe you will enjoy Anna's story in whatever sequence. :-) Q: Why should readers give these books a try? A: This is a story about beginnings, endings, and all the quietly real drama that occurs in the most ordinary of lives during these "in-between" times. For anyone who's ever found themselves, lost themselves, or is still searching, these characters have something to say. I wish you joy of the journey!

Download or read book Gatekeeper written by Patrick Johnson and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prize-winning poetry collection that delves into the dark wood of the digital underworld: “Impressive . . . thought-provoking.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) What is the deep web? A locked door. A tool for oppression and for revolution. “An emptying drain, driven by gravity.” And in Patrick Johnson’s Gatekeeper—selected by Khaled Mattawa as the winner of the 2019 Ballard Spahr Prize for Poetry—it is the place where connection is darkly transfigured by distance and power. So we learn as Johnson’s speaker descends into his inferno, his Virgil a hacker for whom “nothing to stop him is reason enough to keep going,” his Beatrice the elusive Anon, another faceless user of the deep web. Here is unnameable horror—human trafficking, hitmen, terrorism recruitment. And here, too, is the lure of the beloved. But gone are the orderly circles of hell. Instead, Johnson’s map of the deep web is recursive and interrogatory, drawing inspiration and forms from the natural world and from science, as his speaker attempts to find a stable grasp on the complexities of this exhilarating and frightening digital world. Spooky and spare, Gatekeeper is a striking debut collection and a suspenseful odyssey for these troubled times. “These fascinating poems rest on the assumption that each of us has two selves: one that occupies space in the ‘real’ world and another that exists only in a movie that plays continuously at the back of our minds. With our hands on a computer keyboard, we have a third, cyborg, self. The poetic enactment of the splitting of these multiple selves is mesmerizing.” —Mary Jo Bang
Download or read book Gatekeeping Theory written by Pamela J. Shoemaker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-09-10 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gatekeeping is one of the media’s central roles in public life: people rely on mediators to transform information about billions of events into a manageable number of media messages. This process determines not only which information is selected, but also what the content and nature of messages, such as news, will be. Gatekeeping Theory describes the powerful process through which events are covered by the mass media, explaining how and why certain information either passes through gates or is closed off from media attention. This book is essential for understanding how even single, seemingly trivial gatekeeping decisions can come together to shape an audience’s view of the world, and illustrates what is at stake in the process.

With her entire family bound into service to Faerie, she doesn’t exactly have a choice in the matter, but she's made it her mission to keep the peace between humans and fae -- enforced by her blade, if necessary. Her plans go sideways when she's called to take on the deadly Gatekeeper's Trials and assigned a stuck-up half-fae mentor who hates humans like her. He might be pretty to look at, but he has no intention of giving her an easy time of it. But things go from bad to dire when the King of the Summer Court is assassinated. Worse, all the signs point to a human being responsible. Since Hazel and her family are the only humans permitted to enter the King's domain, the blame lands squarely on them. Before long, Hazel's aggravating new mentor is the only person in Faerie she can trust not to sentence her to death on the spot… assuming he isn't the murderer himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Rick removed his bandana, I got a clearer view of the man with half a face. It was not a face scarred from surgical intervention. It was not a face marred with cancerous sores or a few necrotic pits. Half of Ricks face was gone (from Chapter 22). I glanced up at a tree standing next to the van. I had a fleeting thought that the tree could pose a potential danger. Within a few minutes of the thought, the tree fell through the roof of the van, right in front of where I was sitting. The entire back of the van was smooshed (from Chapter 13). Shellan, this is Lou from Bleep Loan and Trust. Gib has not made a payment in over four months and if we dont collect soon, we will repo the truck. Just letting you know theres a good possibility we will come to you for the balance owed (from Chapter 6). I interrupted the lad at some point to tell him that if he thinks he is damned by God, he obviously does not know the truth of God. I tried to share about Gods unconditional love; how God does not leave or forsake us but we are the ones who turn away. The young man did not appear to hear my words as he continued to ramble about his plight. Somewhere in all his anxiety, he stated that he had prayed for God to send him an angelfrom how he was going to hell how successful he used to be with big money, houses, and nice cars but now only a bicycle could he call his own how he was going to hell how he was going to hell he was going to hell (from Chapter 20).

Download or read book Beyond the Gatekeeper State written by Sara Rich Dorman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the Gatekeeper State explores the dynamic changes occurring within and between African states, and the international system since the turn of the century. Frederick Cooper’s model of ‘gatekeeper states’ – shaped as much by their international links as by their domestic practices – provides the basis for the contributors’ thinking about international relations in Africa and the wider international system. The chapters explore the political implications of Africa’s new relations with the old super-powers, former colonial powers, and the emerging powers from the South. These new relationships reflect and affect changing technology, infrastructure, and resource flows within and between African states. Drawing on both rich empirical cases and theoretical approaches, the book interrogates the implications of these changes on how we think about states and state systems. Exploring the impact of changing technology, finance, and resources on African politics, Beyond the Gatekeeper State will be of great interest to scholars of African Politics and International Relations (IR), as well as African Studies, IR, and the politics of the Global South more broadly. This book was originally published as a special issue of Third World Thematics.

Racing against time and relentless pursuers, the company must align to find the cure and deliver it to Alon Maer.

As the evidence against Kyer stacks up, her nemesis launches his final plan to destroy her life.
Download or read book The Gatekeeper written by Dr. Jerry Tallo and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-02-16 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “WHO SHOULD READ THIS BOOK?” “Why did God tell Adam to not only tend the Garden of Eden but to protect it?! Why would Adam need to protect sinless perfection, and from what? The Gatekeeper unfolds the clear and specific reason the creator God put the male species on plant Earth. The mystery of a man’s eternal purpose in this life is explained – from the Scriptures, not the author’s opinion. The “Why am I here” question is answered for every husband, father, fiancé, grandfather in a blend of biblical analysis and personal humor. What a man does is driven by why he was born – to function as the “Gatekeeper” of his family. This read will paint a clear picture and challenge men at their core. Once challenged, dear reader, you will take a unique journey into the portrait of a real Gatekeeper, his worldview, his assets, and his greatest enemies. So, who benefits from such a quest? The husband, the wife, who longs for covering and peace. The young man, who wants to know who he really is. The young woman who wants to find the “right one.” The grandparents, who want to know how to effectively support and pray for their son, or son-in-law. Nobody raises the bar like Jesus. And nobody inspires and empowers us to reach it like Jesus! Think about it – would God create a man to be something that he didn’t equip him to be? Everything is in a man’s spiritual “DNA”. This unusual book will unlock it, it’s a journey like no other.”
