Book excerpt: Award-winning writer of Wyatt Earp, An American Odyssey, winner of the 2020 Will Rogers Medallion Award, a 2019 Spur Award Finalist and an “Editor’s Choice” by The Historical Novel Society Clayton Jane, a war-weary ex-Confederate from Georgia, heads west to Wyoming, where he reconstructs his life as a ranch foreman and right-hand man for an English cattle baron. When the Englishman's sister, a promising Surrey painter, visits along with her husband and young son, the ranch hands soon learn that this reunion is more than a family gathering. The brother-in-law, who provided most of the investment money for the Rolling F Ranch, has come to take over the ownership and management. As the crew ponders its shift of loyalty to such a man, they begin to see signs that he is a wife-beater. When Clayton attempts to interfere in this suppressed spousal abuse, he finds himself in an awkward position with his present employer and future employer. His dedication to protecting this headstrong artistic woman leads to a surprising bond between ranch foreman and celebrated painter, a relationship that totters between mutual respect and romance. With these complications in place, Clayton is treated to a new level of troubles. A Pinkerton detective is sent to Laramie to investigate anonymous threats from a would-be president-assassin. President Grant is due to come into town on a political tour, and Clayton an ex-Southerner finds himself on the Pinkerton's list of suspects.

Download or read book For Heaven s Eyes Only written by Simon R. Green and published by Jabberwocky Literary Agency, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-06-07 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green’s Secret Histories fantasy adventure series featuring supernatural super-agent Eddie Drood continues. Eddie Drood here...well, not quite. Being a member of a secret-yet-legendary family of evil-battlers who have been shielding people from the darkest entities on Earth for ages can take its toll. So lately, I’ve been relaxing. Regrouping. Looking at things from a place of peace and quiet. After all, being dead does have its perks. Lucky for me my lovely witch Molly Metcalfe is able to pull me back to the mortal plane just in time for another disaster to befall the Drood clan and the world in general. It appears there is a Satanist conspiracy in the making. And I don’t mean your typical wear-black-eyeliner, mope-around-the-high-school, rebelling-against-daddy devil devotees. These Satanists are incredibly for real, extremely devoted to their dark lord, and dead serious about breaking down the gates of Hell to unleash...well, Hell. And the key to this is something called the “Great Sacrifice,” a horrific occurrence the likes of which humanity has never conceived—and will never survive. That is, unless an unlikely guardian angel leaps into the fray. Dammit...where did I put my wings and halo...?

Download or read book Heaven s Promise written by Paolo Hewitt and published by Dean Street Press. This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description London, 1988, and the winds of change are blowing through the city, kicking up a storm. A gal pregnant and a DJ running for cover. The birth of the e generation and a race riot erupting. The Sheriff is trying to talk to Prince and Sammy the Foot is dancing up a treat. Everything was Tuesday until she quit without an explanation whilst a young Italian is looking to score and a mother is fighting off the fascists. Someone just dropped one and said 'it's as if we were in heaven' whilst outside the club a seven-month-old baby is crying hard. Heaven's Promise stands, still underrated, in the intersection of great modern London novels, between Absolute Beginners and Trainspotting - a tradition of youthful struggle and creative ambition embodied in a City of Dreams, a vision as potent in the rave culture of the late eighties as it was in the fifties - and as it is today. Praise for Heaven's Promise 'A soulful ride through the London of those heady days, a love letter to the city as much as a scene... indispensible, the Absolute Beginners of Acid House.' Irvine Welsh 'Heaven's Promise's evocation of late 80's London, its music, its club scene, its racial tensions and cultural signposts place Hewitt firmly in the rich lineage of great "London Novel" writers. This is the view from the inside... the authentic voice. Dig it.' Dr. Robert

Book excerpt: Are you a genius who has been tormented by beauty since young? Please, no matter if it's the Ice Snow Huang Rong, or Li Mosou who has been emotionless since ancient times, with Ruo Ling's card, they are all my character cards. Do you have any masterwork weapons made by the ancient dwarves? F * * k, I don't need these things, because whether it's the golden saint robe or the Bio Boosting armour, they're just my items card; how can a Saint realm expert's battle qi mantra defeat my Dao-heart type demon, the War God's Atlas, the Lone Nine Swords, or the Six Passages Divine Sword? What! You still have magic? Sigh, I don't even dare to release the skill card that I came from the Immortal World. I'm afraid that you all will say that I am anti-human ...

Download or read book Heaven at War written by S.A. Abakwue and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-07-13 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aglow from a distance was the Pearly Gate. The Pearly Gate was a mile long. Armed Cherubs stood guard by the holy gate. They were three thousand warrior-angels in number. A male Archangel, whose name was Ironodum, was their leader. His Deputy, a female Cherub, was an esteemed heavenly messenger with a Deputy-Arch attached to her title. And her name was Gateagu. Based on her meritorious valor and steadfast loyalty, she was rapidly elevated from a cherub to a seraph, and then to the Deputy Archangel. The King gave them their names, meant to reflect their serious responsibilities as the leaders of the Gate Guards. Seven roads made their way from the wide gate to both the Holy Shrine and the Most-Esteemed Thrones.

Download or read book Experiencing Medieval Art written by Herbert L. Kessler and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the nine thematic chapters of Experiencing Medieval Art, renowned art historian Herbert L. Kessler considers functional objects as well as paintings and sculptures; the circumstances, processes, and materials of production; the conflictual relationship between art objects and notions of an ineffable deity; the context surrounding medieval art; and questions of apprehension, aesthetics, and modern presentation. He also introduces the exciting discoveries and revelations that have revolutionized contemporary understanding of medieval art and identifies the vexing challenges that still remain. With 16 color plates and 81 images in all—including the stained glass of Chartres Cathedral, the mosaics of San Marco, and the Utrecht Psalter, as well as newly discovered works such as the frescoes in Rome’s aula gotica and a twelfth-century aquamanile in Hildesheim—Experiencing Medieval Art makes the complex history of medieval art accessible for students of art history and scholars of medieval history, theology, and literature.

Download or read book South of the Clouds written by Lucien Miller and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The fifty-four tales included here represent all twenty-five of Yunnan Province's official designated ethnic minorities. They include creation myths, romances, historical legends, tales explaining natural phenomena, ghost stories, and festival tales. The tales are people by memorable characters, such as the Tibetan mother who, reborn as a cow, comforts and helps her daughter in her harsh life as a slave girl; the two Kucong sisters who marry snakes; and the bodiless Lahu "head-baby" who grows up to wind one of the earth-god Poyana's daughters in marriage. Chosen for their representativeness, aesthetic appeal, and variety, the stories provide rich examples of the folk traditions of Southwest China. Introductions and an appendix describe the places and people of Yunnan, analyze the literary and psychological characteristics of their stories, give the sources of the tales, and explain the methodology of collecting folk literature in China."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Phantom Limb written by Theresa Kishkan and published by Thistledown Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Phantom Limb, Kishkan invites her readers to explore culture and nature by looking at landscape and place through a series of historical lenses, ranging from natural history to family history to the broader notions of regional and human history. In her popular essay "month of wild berries picking" she reveals the extent to which native stories articulate the complexity and importance of rules that govern relationships between species, a profoundly symbiotic world where one respected not just the territory of another species but its dung, its bones, its very spirit as well. In travel essays such as "The One Currach Returning Alone" and "Well" she explores her affinity with Ireland, the weight of its history and geography, the roads that lead to collective memory and the magic of its wishing wells. In other travel essays Kishkan takes us to conservative Utah where the discovery of her first Drunkard's Path quilt serves as both a talisman and a gentle reminder of tolerance and diversity that unfamiliar cultures elicit from us, while they also teach us how bound we are to the soil and air of our own home. Whether waking her daughter for early morning Leonid meteor showers to fashion a world that mirrors the topography of their lives, or measuring the emotional connections of her grandmother's glass paperweight in order to learn the secret life of memories belonging to mothers and daughters, Kishkan's writing allows us intimate portraits of family. Sometime intense as in the title essay "Phantom Limb" where the prerogative to make a decision to end the life of a beloved family dog becomes both a heavy-hearted deed as well as a difficult privilege; other times her work is light and folksy as in the family rituals revealed in "Laundry". Resonating throughout this collection, especially when describing the natural world, is a rich lyricism and a distinctive visceral imagery.

Book excerpt: As humans charge up the steep slope of technological innovation, digital age media increasingly shapes our perception of everything--even spiritual matters. The next stage of spiritual development may be the product of a digital interface between our own image of the divine, virtual reality technology that produces real perceptions, and with devices that stimulate areas of the brain associated with spiritual experience. This book explores the influence of digital media on spirituality and the impact of the digital environment on our experience of the spiritual world. The author predicts a future in which digital technology and neuroscience will combine to create a new understanding of the divine.
