King Gayel Solann-Eon is dedicated to his people and empire. His father was a hard man and a rigid king, but Gayel is doing things his own way. That includes working with his allies to defeat the ravenous insectoid Kantos. To strengthen the alliance with Earth, he'll put his own wants and needs aside and take a Terran bride. But as the group of bridal candidates arrive on the Eon homeworld, he's shocked by a stunning attraction to the Space Corps officer in charge of their security. Captain Alea Rodriguez has worked hard to escape her awful childhood and make something of herself. Space Corps is her family and her work is her life. Escorting a group of women to an alien planet so a king can pick a bride has left her feeling like she's on a reality television show. But she takes her job seriously and will keep them safe. What she never expected was her own powerful reaction to the alien warrior king. Stealth attacks by the Kantos make it clear that no one is safe. Alea is sure that the aliens want to assassinate Gayel, and she'll do anything to protect him, even as she fights to safeguard her heart. But Gayel is a king and a warrior, and as the two of them fight side by side, he will also convince Alea to risk everything: for their people, for their hearts, and for a bond that won't be denied.

Download or read book Eon Dream written by Rob Payne and published by . This book was released on 2004-04-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was a dream...a dream of darkness...a dream of light. 'Tis a tale beyond any mere human histories. Yet, too, it whispers deep through the heart of all humanity. Before the beginning of Creation there were two Spirit Tribes: the Zaan and the Aeyas. Like gods, they were the keepers of life and all Creation.Yet, in time, they began to think apart and quarrel over the meaning of existence. But, when it grew old, their quarrel broke into a series of terrible wars which theatened to tear apart all Creation. Now, it came to pass from the ravages of these Primaeval Wars that one spirit, the Aeyan Father Audon Niyth, dreamt an awful dream. Perceiving only sorrow and suffering, he thought to save Creation from all its pain. His thought, grown dark with much time, was to extinguish all things and lull them to a final rest and peace. Niyth's first attempt to "save" Creation was a million-year war of universal genocide. It failed. So, Niyth turned away to an ancient legend: A mystical entity known as the nylladiom. Anyone who possessed this could destroy not only all things but even existence itself. However, Audon Niyth was kept from obtaining the nylladiom, and he was cast away into the very heart of Creation. From there --the hell his evil works had fashioned for him-- Niyth would dream to bring the nylladiom to the emptiness of his blackened spirit. So ends the dark prelude to Eon Dream. But, where it is a nightmare born of profound sorrow, it becomes as well a hope of ultimate redemption. For, against the black designs of Audon Niyth, Creation brings forth a child whose heart's innocence will overcome all evil. On one level, Eon Dream is the story of one small life --that of the Zaan man-child Au Syen. On a deeper level, it becomes an allegory for the human condition. The stages of Au Syen's individual life symbolize those formative experiences common to all lives. These experiences are embodied as the Seven Sojourns (of Au Syen). The first four of these sojourns comprise life lived out day by day in the world. Au Syen enters the world a helpless infant, the son of the incarnate spirit Ne Ri. He grows from being a little boy deeply and innocently in love with the miracle and wonder of the world around him to an adolescent struggling to find who he is. As a man, he falls in love with a lovely girl with whom he makes a family and a home. Yet, sadly too, he loses to death his beloved mother Ne Ri. With the death of Ne Ri, the Seven Sojourns turn to a new dimension: One more cosmic and supernatural. Beyond eveything safe and familiar, Au Syen embarks upon a perilous journey. Along the way, Au Syen the man learns to reshape himself to become Au Syen "The Light Shining Beyond The Darkness" whose destiny is to face evil and transform all reality. Au Syen's journey is many dangers and hardships. It is a wandering through a dark forest, a climb over a bleak mountain and a trek across a burning desert. Cold, heat, hunger, thirst and loneliness all do their worst to break Au Syen's mind, body and spirit. But from his trials, Au Syen emerges with a renewed vision of who he is: A man deep of heart and soul, whose strength of spirit is the love that will forever triumph over all evil. Thus aware of himself as never before, Au Syen enters the company of a weird and wondrous creature: Xinj, a sly and ancient being known as the Keeper of the Wisdom of the World. When this Xinj invites Au Syen to know better his wisdom, he grabs and swallows Au Syen alive! Yet, beyond this descent into the bowels of death, Au Syen is reborn from the world of flesh and blood into the spirit realm wherein abides the Dark Spirit Audon Niyth. All around

Book excerpt: Since their origin in the Early Cambrian, the bivalve molluscs have evolved a remarkable variety of forms that reflect their diverse habits through the Phanerozoic Eon. The thirty papers in this volume represent the proceedings of an international symposium on the paleobiology and evolution of the bivalves held at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology in Drumheller, Canada, from September 29 through October 2, 1995. An international group of authors, representing a dozen countries, draw on diverse aspects of both fossil and living bivalves, including their forms, functional morphology, morphogenesis, taphonomy, shell microstructure, cladistic relationships, biostratigraphic distributions, and molecular sequences. The result is an authoritative and comprehensive collection of studies dedicated to Dr. Norman D. Newell, an eminent paleontologist whose ongoing contributions to the study of bivalve evolution spans six decades. With more than 200 illustrations and a foreword by renowned paleobiologist and author Stephen Jay Gould, Bivalves: An Eon of Evolution presents a broad spectrum of current research on fossil and living bivalves.

Download or read book Speech and System written by Peter Bornedal and published by Museum Tusculanum Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this investigation, creative writing and philosophy are shown to be specific types of language games, distinct from speech as used in communicative interaction between individuals. The author deals with thinking, speech and systems, respectively. (I) Thinking is understood as a soliloquy preceding any kind of creative activity and any kind of writing. The author analyses thinking as a subject's listening to its own voice, with a split between "I" and "me", close to Derrida's notion of "difference" as a condition for the production of meaning. (II) Analyzing - with reference to Benveniste, Austin and Searle - what speech is, the author deduces the so-called "pragmatic subject" (in contrast to the first section's reflective). In its elementary speech act the pragmatic subject does constitute itself in rudimentary ways. (III) In dealing with the product of reflective activity, the author finds the so-called textual inconsistence or logical aporias inherent in any logical or pseudo-logical system to be in line with Goedel's incompleteness theorems, and he rejects the tendency to use deconstruction to understand these aporias, as is usual in Western metaphysics. - The author's philosophical position is closest to that of Paul Ricoeur and Jacques Derrida, but on crucial issues he advances his own ideas on the relationship between speech and writing, also establishing a criticism of metaphysics that may be more radical than what has previously been developed.
Download or read book The Chevalier d Eon and his Worlds written by Simon Burrows and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-10-20 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-dressing author, envoy, soldier and spy Charles d'Eon de Beaumont's unusual career fascinated his contemporaries and continues to attract historians, novelists, playwrights, filmmakers, image makers, cultural theorists and those concerned with manifestations of the extraordinary. D'Eon's significance as a historical figure was already being debated more than 45 years before his death. Not surprisingly, such sensational material has attracted the attention of enthusiasts, scholars and literateurs to 'the strange case of the chevalier d'Eon'. He has also attracted the attention of psychologists and sexologists, and for most of the last century his gender transformation has been viewed through a Freudian lens. His cross-dressing, it was usually assumed, must have a psychosexual explanation. Until the second half of the twentieth century the terms 'Eonist' and 'Eonism' were the standard English words for transvestites and transvestism respectively, but 'Eonism' was also, thanks to Havelock Ellis, widely regarded as a psychological condition or compulsion. However, in the mid-twentieth century, new ideas about gender-identity disorders led to d'Eon being redefined not as a transvestite, but a transsexual - a person who considers their sex to have been 'misassigned'. The essays in this collection contribute to d'Eon's rehabilitation as a figure worthy of scholarly attention and display a variety of disciplinary approaches. Drawing on new research into d'Eon's life, this volume offers original and nuanced readings of how a gender identity could come to be negotiated over time.

An unusually gifted musician, she joins the court just as a member of the royal family is murdered. While a sinister plot to destroy the peace is uncovered, Seraphina struggles to protect the secret behind her musical gift, one so terrible that its discovery could mean her very life. Seraphina's tortuous journey to self-acceptance will make a magical, indelible impression on its readers.
