Download or read book Devolution written by Max Brooks and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The #1 New York Times bestselling author of World War Z is back with “the Bigfoot thriller you didn’t know you needed in your life, and one of the greatest horror novels I’ve ever read” (Blake Crouch, author of Dark Matter and Recursion). FINALIST FOR THE LOCUS AWARD As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined . . . until now. The journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing—and too earth-shattering in its implications—to be forgotten. In these pages, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it. Kate’s is a tale of unexpected strength and resilience, of humanity’s defiance in the face of a terrible predator’s gaze, and, inevitably, of savagery and death. Yet it is also far more than that. Because if what Kate Holland saw in those days is real, then we must accept the impossible. We must accept that the creature known as Bigfoot walks among us—and that it is a beast of terrible strength and ferocity. Part survival narrative, part bloody horror tale, part scientific journey into the boundaries between truth and fiction, this is a Bigfoot story as only Max Brooks could chronicle it—and like none you’ve ever read before. Praise for Devolution “Delightful . . . [A] tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “The story is told in such a compelling manner that horror fans will want to believe and, perhaps, take the warning to heart.”—Booklist (starred review)

Download or read book Once Upon a Time I Lived on Mars written by Kate Greene and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to Mars, the focus is often on how to get there: the rockets, the engines, the fuel. But upon arrival, what will it actually be like? In 2013, Kate Greene moved to Mars. That is, along with five fellow crew members, she embarked on NASA’s first HI-SEAS mission, a simulated Martian environment located on the slopes of Mauna Loa in Hawai'i. For four months she lived, worked, and slept in an isolated geodesic dome, conducting a sleep study on her crew mates and gaining incredible insight into human behavior in tight quarters, as well as the nature of boredom, dreams, and isolation that arise amidst the promise of scientific progress and glory. In Once Upon a Time I Lived on Mars, Greene draws on her experience to contemplate humanity’s broader impulse to explore. The result is a twined story of space and life, of the standard, able-bodied astronaut and Greene’s brother’s disability, of the lag time of interplanetary correspondences and the challenges of a long-distance marriage, of freeze-dried egg powder and fresh pineapple, of departure and return. By asking what kind of wisdom humanity might take to Mars and elsewhere in the Universe, Greene has written a remarkable, wide-ranging examination of our time in space right now, as a pre-Mars species, poised on the edge, readying for launch.

Book excerpt: When handsome cowboy Guy James arrived in Cheyenne, young Isabella Lucci was thunderstruck by his charming ways. What she thought was a dream come true—becoming his bride—turned out to be her worst nightmare. Andre Montegue, a fur trapper from Thatcher Springs, had no idea that his good fortune of finding shelter on a stormy Oregon night would forever change his life. It was there that he would encounter a beautiful young woman, one he could care for deeply—only to discover that she was wanted for murder. In the meantime, Alecia Lundgren had planned “New York’s party of the decade”—a long-awaited reception for her daughter and son-in-law, Britta and Joshua Reed. For country bumpkins, Josh and Joe and Betsy, too, had never felt more out of place than in New York City. Would Britta be sorry she had left a life of luxury to become a rancher’s wife? From Thatcher Springs to Baker City and the Willamette Valley of Oregon, and as far away as New York, Blessed Assurance is a story of deep faith, of healing and hope, and of miracles in the lives of everyday folks.

Download or read book Reconciling Nature written by Robert M. Myers and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals how classic American novels embodied the tensions embedded in American views of the natural world from the Centennial until the end of the Second World War. Reconciling Nature maps the complex views of the environment that are evident in celebrated American novels written between the Centennial Celebration of 1876 and the end of the Second World War. During this period, which includes the Progressive era and the New Deal, Americans held three contradictory views of the natural world: a recognition of nature’s vulnerability to the changes brought by industrialism; a fear of the power of nature to destroy human civilization; and a desire to make nature useful. Robert M. Myers argues they reconciled these conflicting views through nature nostalgia, policing of wilderness areas, and through strategies of control borrowed from the social sciences. Myers combines environmental history with original readings of eight novels, producing fresh perspectives on Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Stephen Crane’s Maggie, Kate Chopin’s The Awakening, Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, Mary Austin’s The Ford, Theodore Dreiser’s An American Tragedy, Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, and William Faulkner’s Go Down, Moses. While previous ecocritical works have focused on proto-environmentalism in classic works of literature, Reconciling Nature explores the ambivalence within these texts, demonstrating how they reproduce views of nature as threatened, threatening, and useful. The epilogue examines the environmental ideologies associated with the development and deployment of the first atomic bomb. “Reconciling Nature is an important contribution to ecocriticism, American literary studies, American studies, and environmental history. The book has incredible breadth and scope. In each chapter, Myers incorporates an impressive amount of historical context that always breathes new life into texts that have been discussed at length by other scholars.” — Lloyd Willis, author of Environmental Evasion: The Literary, Critical, and Cultural Politics of “Nature’s Nation”
