Download or read book Heaven s Soldiers Meet Hell s Minions written by Jessie Dachel and published by . This book was released on 2014-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world full of so many atrocious, and negative things, sometimes people forget that they could look on the bright side. Though, with what was going on in the world, and with just everyday personal lives; that was much easier said than done. In a world containing so much anger, hatred, demise and obliteration, it was challenging to hold onto faith and hope that everything would be alright. God granted people that were once humans, as shape shifters. These shape shifters were in charge to guard humanity from evil. But because of one man, what was never supposed to be a war...he had started one! Refusing to be second best, Carter had found someone that would make him a leader, the Devil himself. But in order to do so, Carter needed to sell his soul to the Devil. Now forming two types of shape shifters; the Guardians and Strikers! My name is Jessica (Jessie) Dachel, I was born March 8, 1990 in Edina Minnesota. I currently still do reside in Minnesota. I am quite the animal lover and always will be. I have been writing, probably since about the age of eight. I have always known I wanted to be a writer, but never knew how to go about being one, until recently. My favorite author, and one of my role models for writing is Stephen King. I hope to be as good as him one day! My writing I think will be unique, as I have never really been one to write romance or happy endings.

Download or read book Africans in the Old South written by Randy J. Sparks and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-04 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Atlantic slave trade was the largest forced migration in history, and its toll in lives damaged or destroyed is incalculable. Most of those stories are lost to history, making the few that can be reconstructed critical to understanding the trade in all its breadth and variety. Randy J. Sparks examines the experiences of a range of West Africans who lived in the American South between 1740 and 1860. Their stories highlight the diversity of struggles that confronted every African who arrived on American shores. The subjects of Africans in the Old South include Elizabeth Cleveland Hardcastle, the mixed-race daughter of an African slave-trading family who invested in South Carolina rice plantations and slaves, passed as white, and integrated herself into the Lowcountry planter elite; Robert Johnson, kidnapped as a child and sold into slavery in Georgia, who later learned English, won his freedom, and joined the abolition movement in the North; Dimmock Charlton, who bought his freedom after being illegally enslaved in Savannah; and a group of unidentified Africans who were picked up by a British ship in the Caribbean, escaped in Mobile’s port, and were recaptured and eventually returned to their homeland. These exceptional lives challenge long-held assumptions about how the slave trade operated and who was involved. The African Atlantic was a complex world characterized by constant movement, intricate hierarchies, and shifting identities. Not all Africans who crossed the Atlantic were enslaved, nor was the voyage always one-way.

Download or read book Vicious Circle written by Mike Carey and published by Orbit. This book was released on 2008-07-28 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author of The Girl With All the Gifts Mike Carey presents the second book in his hip supernatural thriller series featuring freelance exorcist Felix Castor. Felix Castor has reluctantly returned to exorcism after a successful case convinces him that he really can do some good with his abilities -- "good," of course, being a relative term when dealing with the undead. His friend Rafi is still possessed, the succubus Ajulutsikael (Juliet to her friends) still technically has a contract on him, and he's still dirt poor. Doing some consulting for the local cops helps pay the bills, but Castor needs a big private job to really fill the hole in his bank account. That's what he needs. What he gets is a seemingly insignificant "missing ghost" case that inexorably drags him and his loved ones into the middle of a horrific plot to raise one of hell's fiercest demons. When satanists, stolen spirits, sacrifice farms, and haunted churches all appear on the same police report, the name Felix Castor can't be too far behind. . .

Download or read book Future Yet to Come written by Sonja M. Kim and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Korea is home to cutting-edge electronics, state-of-the-art medical facilities, and ubiquitous high-speed internet. The country’s meteoric rise from the ashes of the Korean War (1950–1953) to rank among the world’s most technologically advanced societies is often attributed to state-led promotion of science and technology in nation-building projects. With chapters that discuss Korea’s dynastic past, foreign occupations, Cold War geopolitics, postwar rehabilitation in the twentieth century, and the contemporary neoliberal moment, Future Yet to Come argues that a longer historical arc and broader disciplinary approach better elucidate these transformations. The book’s contributors illuminate the “sociotechnical imaginaries” that promoted, sustained, and contested Korea’s scientific, medical, and technological projects in realizing desired futures. Focusing special attention on visual culture and the life sciences, the essays present competing visions held by individuals and institutions of power in the use and purpose of scientific engagements. They demonstrate Korean specificities in culture and language, and the myriad social, political, spatial, and symbolic arrangements that shaped incorporations of and changes to existing systems of knowledge and material practices. Whether discussing moral epistemologies, imperialist or developmentalist thrusts in public health regimes, or new configurations of the “self” enabled by bio industries and media technologies, the book expands both the regional and global understanding of translation, accommodation, and transfer. Tracing imaginaries across the vicissitudes of Korea’s past recalls their history and makes visible their shifts and resilience in dynamic political economies. Future Yet to Come reminds us how deeply intertwined science, medicine, and technology are to not only our polities, corporations, and societies but also the human condition. Bridging histories of science and medicine with anthropologies of technology and the arts, the book will appeal to students and scholars of Korean and East Asian studies as well as those with interests in the comparative history of medicine, STS (society and technology studies), art history, media studies, transnationalism, diaspora, and postcolonialism.
