Download or read book Lonely Divide written by Robert Ziefel and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-07-21 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take the Paragon rules from Tremorworks. Add a gun toting cyborg, a fairy, a young girl who's a martial arts enthusiast and a guy with psychic powers. Place them in a world where they know they are characters in a game like world. A world populated by dragons, AI constructs, magic, and possibly a mermaid or two. Stir. This is the result. Everyone has an inventory, NPCs are stuck being average, and those select few that become Player Characters solve the mysteries of the world as best they can. In fact, they do it officially, for the government, as part of a 5 year initiative. Our heroes find that, for about the last hundred years or so, someone has been quietly abducting PCs around the world for unknown reasons. They have to find out who, and put a stop to it, because it seems they are next on the list to disappear. Here you'll find a little humor, a little romance, a little gunplay, and a whole lot of adventure.

The insults for shock artist Morgue come thick and fast. They seek him here, they seek him there, those critics, detractors and knockers seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven? Is he in hell? Is he a fraud? Has he gone rogue? That damned, elusive fiend who belongs in a prison cell. The denigrators are never short of abuse and vitriol for the man they love to hate. Who is Morgue? Why do so many people loathe him so much? Morgue is no ordinary shock artist. He has now graduated to sinister cult leader, grifting from the weak-minded and vulnerable. To his haters, he's shocking in every way, a shocking human being, a disgrace, an abomination … an actual monster. Morgue will shock you to the core with his grotesque behavior, shock you out of your complacency with his nauseating conduct, shock you into seeing the reality of a cult that preys on all the suckers it can round up. You will feel the aftershock of his vileness. To his obsessive, manic fans, Morgue is Shock and Awe. To everyone else, it's shocking that this person isn't in jail, and they earnestly hope and expect that he soon will be given that he has been accused of serious crimes. This book is a commentary on these people – these sick, warped individuals who run cults – and the strange world they inhabit and strange people they attract. What makes them this way? Is there any cure? How should they be dealt with? What kind of people are drawn to them? Why are they able to fool so many people? Why don't their victims realize what is going on? It's time to take on the cult godfathers. Come and find out about the sinister world of the cult leader, one of the worst predators of the modern era. If humanity is not careful, these cult leaders will define the future. A future nightmare!

Download or read book We Have To Talk written by Samuel Shem and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 1999-04-23 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “We have to talk.” For many men, these are the four worst words in the English language, especially when they're uttered by a female partner. But it doesn't have to be that way, argue Samuel Shem and Janet Surrey in their pathbreaking and practical new book. “Male relational dread”—that all-too-familiar reaction set off by women's “relational yearnings”—can be tamed, and in its place can emerge true satisfaction for men and women.To demonstrate how this is done, Shem and Surrey take us behind the scenes of their popular workshops. We hear couples speak intimately about anger, guilt, resentment, shame, and sex. We watch them wrestle collectively with the gender divide in their relationships—the deep disconnects, or “impasses,” that reflect the vastly different developmental paths men and women have traveled. We see couples learn to bridge the poles of dread and yearning, to emerge from isolation into mutuality. We witness their moments of sadness, humor, and, ultimately, discovery.Filled with moving stories of real people struggling with real problems, We Have to Talk shatters the “rules” and offers dramatic proof that men and women are not from different planets after all. It is certain to be seen as the relationship book for the new millennium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the depression days of the early 1930s the Jordan family-Len Jordan (later governor of Idaho and a United States senator), his wife Grace, and their three small children-moved to an Idaho sheep ranch in the Snake River gorge just below Hell's Canyon, deepest scratch on the face of North America.

Short of cash but long on courage, they raised and preserved their food, made their own soap, and educated their children."-Sterling North, New York World-Telegram "Home Below Hell's Canyon is valuable because it writes a little-known way of life into the national chronicle.

Download or read book Everything Now written by Rosecrans Baldwin and published by MCD. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER. NAMED A BEST CALIFORNIA BOOKS OF 2021 BY THE NEW YORK TIMES A provocative, exhilaratingly new understanding of the United States’ most confounding metropolis—not just a great city, but a full-blown modern city-state America is obsessed with Los Angeles. And America has been thinking about Los Angeles all wrong, for decades, on repeat. Los Angeles is not just the place where the American dream hits the Pacific. (It has its own dreams.) Not just the vanishing point of America’s western drive. (It has its own compass.) Functionally, aesthetically, mythologically, even technologically, an independent territory, defined less by distinct borders than by an aura of autonomy and a sense of unfurling destiny—this is the city-state of Los Angeles. Deeply reported and researched, provocatively argued, and eloquently written, Rosecrans Baldwin's Everything Now approaches the metropolis from unexpected angles, nimbly interleaving his own voice with a chorus of others, from canonical L.A. literature to everyday citizens. Here, Octavia E. Butler and Joan Didion are in conversation with activists and astronauts, vampires and veterans. Baldwin records the stories of countless Angelenos, discovering people both upended and reborn: by disasters natural and economic, following gospels of wealth or self-help or personal destiny. The result is a story of a kaleidoscopic, vibrant nation unto itself—vastly more than its many, many parts. Baldwin’s concept of the city-state allows us, finally, to grasp a place—Los Angeles—whose idiosyncrasies both magnify those of America, and are so fully its own. Here, space and time don’t quite work the same as they do elsewhere, and contradictions are as stark as southern California’s natural environment. Perhaps no better place exists to watch the United States’s past, and its possible futures, play themselves out. Welcome to Los Angeles, the Great American City-State.

Download or read book Loneliness as a Way of Life written by Thomas Dumm and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “What does it mean to be lonely?” Thomas Dumm asks. His inquiry, documented in this book, takes us beyond social circumstances and into the deeper forces that shape our very existence as modern individuals. The modern individual, Dumm suggests, is fundamentally a lonely self. Through reflections on philosophy, political theory, literature, and tragic drama, he proceeds to illuminate a hidden dimension of the human condition. His book shows how loneliness shapes the contemporary division between public and private, our inability to live with each other honestly and in comity, the estranged forms that our intimate relationships assume, and the weakness of our common bonds. A reading of the relationship between Cordelia and her father in Shakespeare’s King Lear points to the most basic dynamic of modern loneliness—how it is a response to the problem of the “missing mother.” Dumm goes on to explore the most important dimensions of lonely experience—Being, Having, Loving, and Grieving. As the book unfolds, he juxtaposes new interpretations of iconic cultural texts—Moby-Dick, Death of a Salesman, the film Paris, Texas, Emerson’s “Experience,” to name a few—with his own experiences of loneliness, as a son, as a father, and as a grieving husband and widower. Written with deceptive simplicity, Loneliness as a Way of Life is something rare—an intellectual study that is passionately personal. It challenges us, not to overcome our loneliness, but to learn how to re-inhabit it in a better way. To fail to do so, this book reveals, will only intensify the power that it holds over us.
