Download or read book Volume 5 written by Michael DeBenedictis and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-12-02 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 5 is a follow-up, in theme, to all of the four poetry and short story books that came before it. It is a collection of poetry - a blend of beat genre work and epic, longer scale Whitman-esque work, with an undertone of epiphany, insight, and philosophy - and short stories that either carry on the theme or storyline of previous pieces. Deft wordplay, parallelism, and a flow that bounces from rhythmic to run-on are all at work here. This collection is an extension of deeper down the rabbit hole introspective, observational material, as well as material reachable at the surface level, with implications that the roots of the poems' and stories' themes, and true soul, have sprouted much deeper attachments. Volume 5 is another labor of love and personal journal, of sorts, as well as being meant to serve as a catalyst to inspire others to dive further, think deeper, and reach farther.

Book excerpt: While the superhuman (but opposed) Sam Jacobson and Minnie Chu teams travel across the America of the 2040s, the country’s cynical, cruel imposter-President obsesses about killing the mighty, alien Storied Watcher; but Karéin-Mayréij is nowhere to be found. As Jacobson’s team ups the ante with increasingly provocative and destructive attacks, Chu is forced on board the faux-President’s aircraft. Unfortunately – unknown to everyone else – a religious fanatic (who’s also gunning for the Storied Watcher, using Chu as bait) has smuggled a nuclear weapon onto the plane. Meanwhile, Los Angeles is imperiled by the supernatural powers of "El Nuevo Diablo", whose sinister insect-army literally "eats his opponents, alive". The Storied Watcher is thousands of miles away. Her followers are preoccupied with fighting for their own lives (and for those of their families)... or with more malevolent goals. Who will save America?

Download or read book The Cave Dwellers written by Christina McDowell and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “delicious take on the one percent in our nation’s capital” (Town & Country) and clever combination of The Bonfire of the Vanities and The Nest explores what Washington, DC’s high society members do behind the closed doors of their stately homes. They are the families considered worthy of a listing in the exclusive Green Book—a discriminative diary created by the niece of Edith Roosevelt’s social secretary. Their aristocratic bloodlines are woven into the very fabric of Washington—generation after generation. Their old money and manner lurk through the cobblestone streets of Georgetown, Kalorama, and Capitol Hill. They only socialize within their inner circle, turning a blind eye to those who come and go on the political merry-go-round. These parents and their children live in gilded existences of power and privilege. But what they have failed to understand is that the world is changing. And when the family of one of their own is held hostage and brutally murdered, everything about their legacy is called into question in this unputdownable novel that “combines social satire with moral outrage to offer a masterfully crafted, absorbing read that can simply entertain on one level and provoke reasoned discourse on another” (Booklist, starred review).

Download or read book Learning Perl written by Tom Phoenix and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 2001-07-18 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you ask Perl programmers today what book they relied on most when they were learning Perl, you'll find that an overwhelming majority will name Learning Perl--also known affectionately as "the Llama." The first edition of Learning Perl appeared in 1993 and has been a bestseller ever since. Written by two of the most prominent and active members of the Perl community, this book is the quintessential tutorial for the Perl programming language.Perl began as a tool for Unix system administrators, used for countless small tasks throughout the workday. It has since blossomed into a full-featured programming language on practically every computing platform, and is used for web programming, database manipulation, XML processing, and (of course) system administration--all this while still remaining the perfect tool for the small daily tasks it was designed for. Perl is quick, fun, and eminently useful. Many people start using Perl because they need it, but they continue to use Perl because they love it.The third edition of Learning Perl has not only been updated for Perl 5.6, but has also been rewritten from the ground up to reflect the needs of programmers learning Perl today. Informed by their years of success at teaching Perl as consultants, the authors have re-engineered the book to better match the pace and scope appropriate for readers trying to get started with Perl, while retaining the detailed discussion, thorough examples, and eclectic wit for which the book is famous.This edition of the Llama includes an expanded and more gently-paced introduction to regular expressions, new exercises and solutions designed so readers can practice what they've learned while it's still fresh in their minds, and an overall reworking to bring Learning Perl into the new millennium.Perl is a language for getting your job done. Other books may teach you to program in Perl, but this book will turn you into a Perl programmer.

Book excerpt: The Legend of Umbrage is a medieval fantasy story about a world where magic blooms like flowers in a meadow, and men begin to discover the secrets hidden behind the forest. The book is set around the life of a lone woodsman known as Bothorn. He is a man born of a particularly unusual race of men called Skinshifters. As their name suggests, the Skinshifters have the natural ability to change shape and become massive animals with unbreakable hides. As with all beings, there are limits to what they can do. Though they do not know why, they have no choice over what they become. It is a mystery to all until the first transformation of a young Skinshifter. Among his people, Bothorn is a shameful man, hated by all but those closest to him over one small detail. He can't shift. As a way to be rid of him, he is sent to live alone along the borderline of the forest of Umbrage as a sentry. There, in his solitude, he stumbles upon a saddened young woman from one of the major territories beyond the woods. Through this meeting of chance, tragedy and sorrow erupt with horrendous consequences. Bothorn discovers the beast within and, with it, must do everything he can to save the woman he loves even if he must take on an army, or worse.

Download or read book Actions of Play written by Lisa Agogliati and published by Redleaf Press. This book was released on 2025-01-21 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understand play schemas to see inside children’s minds. Actions of Play builds on recent research and revelations about play schemas to transform understandings of play-based learning and project work in early childhood programs. Play schemas are the patterns of actions that play takes—transporting, enclosing, rotating, and more—the verbs of play rather than the nouns. The repetitive behaviors, play patterns, and play intentions of schemas facilitate children’s brain development and also help them make sense of their world. Schemas take the place of noun-based topics in project work, increasing children’s creativity and complex thought. Schemas give educators insight into children as they work out problems and increase their understandings through play. The authors ask: How might we build a curriculum using play schemas? How might we interweave our children’s play with play schemas and create projects? Actions of Play shares the stories of their programs and their documentation and action research as play schemas became the bedrock of their curricula.

Download or read book Vampires of El Norte written by Isabel Cañas and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER! Vampires, vaqueros, and star-crossed lovers face off on the Texas-Mexico border in this supernatural western from the author of The Hacienda. As the daughter of a rancher in 1840s Mexico, Nena knows a thing or two about monsters—her home has long been threatened by tensions with Anglo settlers from the north. But something more sinister lurks near the ranch at night, something that drains men of their blood and leaves them for dead. Something that once attacked Nena nine years ago. Believing Nena dead, Néstor has been on the run from his grief ever since, moving from ranch to ranch working as a vaquero. But no amount of drink can dispel the night terrors of sharp teeth; no woman can erase his childhood sweetheart from his mind. When the United States invades Mexico in 1846, the two are brought abruptly together on the road to war: Nena as a curandera, a healer striving to prove her worth to her father so that he does not marry her off to a stranger, and Néstor as a member of the auxiliary cavalry of ranchers and vaqueros. But the shock of their reunion—and Nena’s rage at Néstor for seemingly abandoning her long ago—is quickly overshadowed by the appearance of a nightmare made flesh. And unless Nena and Néstor work through their past and face the future together, neither will survive to see the dawn.
