A host of larger than life characters, each plagued with deep character flaws like pride, greed and hatred, navigate their lives as mysterious messages from God begin to appear in the media.

Christians, Catholics, Muslims, and Jews, the Children of Abraham, are all affected by the messages. The cultures differ—yet one universal message emerges that unites them all.
Download or read book Maine written by Christian P. Potholm and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2006 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Potholm has worked as a political insider and activist for much of the last forty years, dividing his time between the classroom and the election arena. By analyzing the interactive ebbs and flows of political campaigns, Potholm uses both quantitative and qualitative analysis to understand the process and make predictions regarding the outcome. He contends that political campaigns waged in the State of Maine display a strong dynamic quality independent of the instant polls and reports that our media sources use to predict outcomes. Through quantitative analysis, Potholm shows that Maine political campaigns are underpinned by a positive sense of well being unique to the country, a character that celebrates its freedom and essence in all facets of society. Potholm dissects his study using data as well as anecdotal references to share the political and psychological dimensions of Maine politics in all of their dynamism.

Download or read book The Last Lambs on the Mountain written by Florence Mulhern and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06-24 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Adirondack Mountains at Saranac Lake, New York, were considered the ideal climate to cure Tuberculosis. The cold was beneficial and the pine-scented air that distinguished the region was believed to have special therapeutic value. The sick lay out on porches in patient hope or resigned despair and even those who were cured continued the practice, convinced it had delivered them and would prevent a relapse. The houses in town were a testimony to this belief, rows of porches across their fronts, each holding a bed. At the sanatorium, the sick were urged onto their porches, taught to lie prone and let the pure air help heal the lesions in their lungs. No image was more evocative than a bed on a porch. The author spent two years at Trudeau Sanatorium in Saranac Lake and was one of the last patients to undergo the lengthy treatment believed at that time to be the only way to cure Tuberculosis, the miracle drug, Isoniazid. For some the cure came too late. No longer was tuberculosis communicable; no longer were families and loved ones torn apart, but, for many the damage had already been done.

Book excerpt: Ten people travelling on a tour of Turkey’s amazing cultural sites encounter many adventures and problems, some almost fatal. Why does the trip become so dangerous? Ten travellers have joined a tour of the historic and cultural attractions of western Turkey. They are taking this tour for a variety of reasons—some are interested in Turkey’s historical sights, some are focused on Turkey’s place in current geopolitical activities, and some are active participants in those very activities. When they meet their tour guide for the first time in Istanbul, he explains that after three days exploring Istanbul, they will be making their way south along the western Mediterranean coast of Turkey, with stops at world-famous locations, including Gallipoli, Troy, Pergamum, Ephesus, and finally completing the tour in Konya, where they will visit the tomb of the poet Rumi. The travelers consist of an urbane Arab and his hired antiquarian assistant, in search of a mysterious artifact in Turkey; a husband who works for the UN and his wife, who teaches physics; two young female college students; a Jewish couple from Cincinnati; an Evangelical Christian who represents a company that hunts for crafts to sell in the States; a British MI6 agent on a mission; a local Alevi, who joins the tour in Turkey; and a physics post-doc, who is traveling in Turkey for special reasons of his own. This post-doc, Benny, who is also a psychic, hopes to use his powers to stop nuclear weapons. But in order to do so, he must find a secure location from which to direct his anti-nuke energy. For this reason, he has joined the tour, but he expects to leave the group when it gets to his destination, the secluded caves of Göreme, in central Turkey. However, as the tour makes its way along its planned route, various nuclear powers are intent on stopping whoever is interfering with their nukes. As a result, some members of the group are put in extreme danger at several points in the journey.
Download or read book Out of Place written by Edward W. Said and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2000-09-12 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of the most important intellectuals of our time comes an extraordinary story of exile and a celebration of an irrecoverable past. A fatal medical diagnosis in 1991 convinced Edward Said that he should leave a record of where he was born and spent his childhood, and so with this memoir he rediscovers the lost Arab world of his early years in Palestine, Lebanon, and Egypt. Said writes with great passion and wit about his family and his friends from his birthplace in Jerusalem, schools in Cairo, and summers in the mountains above Beirut, to boarding school and college in the United States, revealing an unimaginable world of rich, colorful characters and exotic eastern landscapes. Underscoring all is the confusion of identity the young Said experienced as he came to terms with the dissonance of being an American citizen, a Christian and a Palestinian, and, ultimately, an outsider. Richly detailed, moving, often profound, Out of Place depicts a young man's coming of age and the genesis of a great modern thinker.
