Book excerpt: "StrikeStone is a sci-fi masterpiece. Imagine a small planet just slightly removed from our own and accessible via wormhole with two moons, a rich savannah, and a ritualistic culture - and you have Dolvia. One need not read the first two novels to appreciate the beauty and elegance of Atrium's new world in StrikeStone, but reading the novel certainly made this reader want to pick up the previous two. The plot has everything a reader could want. Action, adventure, humor, romance... Atrium's beautifully descriptive style sweeps us up and carries us into this new world. We are invested. We need to know what happens next." --Rabid Readers Reviews ***** Praise for SufferStone: Book I of the Dolvia Saga ..".Atrium's sense of pacing is spot on perfect, drawing the reader in and holding them spellbound as she weaves a tale that is not alien on our own world... [She] isn't afraid to mete the occasional emotional gut-punch to the reader either. This author has no fear, for the story seems to unfold as it must." --GoodReads Review "Atruim has created a masterpiece with SufferStone. She is a wonderful writer and I found this was an exciting read for me. I hadn't found any science fiction fantasy that kept my interest until I read this one." --GoodReads Review ***** Praise for HeartStone: Book II of the Dolvia Saga "Atrium has added another chapter to the lives of the various tribes and off worlders on Dolvia... continues with rich character development, interlaced subplots, action and intrigue in HeartStone. Readers will be reacquainted with old friends and, like them, try to determine who is truly the enemy on Dolvia." --GoodReads Review "Atrium is a gifted writer and her imagination is immense. You won't regret being a follower of her writing." --GoodReads Review

Download or read book Heartstone written by Stella Atrium and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-05-24 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second installment of Atriums Dolvia Saga is a character-driven sci-fi tale that explores profoundand timelythemes of sexual oppression, environmentalism and cultural intolerance. Atriums intricate novel ranges widely in themegender, politics, existential philosophy, mysticism, etc. Set primarily on the planet of Dolviawhere the females of the indigenous, frequently warring tribes of the savannah maintain few rights and are forced to wear burkas the storyline revolves, at least initially, around Dr. Edna Edwina Greensboro, a bush-clinic doctor whose courage, compassion and vision have begun to change some of the insular ways of thinking. Getting married to Lt. Mike Shaw, an off -world military man, and keeping two female gualarepsoversized and sentient iguana-esque reptilesincreases her status. But when she witnesses a mixed blood girl being brutally abused, she realizes that shes working against centuries of oppression reinforced by cultural mores, folklore, myth and cruel men dead set on guarding the status quo. After all, the victims are only women. The commentary on gender politics benefits from a foreign setting; its an exercise in considering discrimination without finger-pointing. But thats only one aspect of this multifaceted story as Greensboro fights to save lives and educate the tribes people, nefarious individuals and companies seek to profit from the chaos Atriums saga continues with another entertaining and powerful read, reminiscent of Octavia E. Butler and Margaret Atwood. An allegorical, emotionally intimate narrative for sci-fi fans, with broad themes that could appeal to a mainstream audience, too. Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book Empedocles Redivivus written by Myrto Garani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-12-12 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the general scholarly consensus about Lucretius’ debt to Empedocles as the father of the genre of cosmological didactic epic, there is a major disagreement regarding Lucretius’ applause for his Presocratic predecessor’s praeclara reperta (DRN 1.732). In the present study, Garani suggests that by praising Empedocles’ discoveries, Lucretius points to his predecessor’s epistemological methods of inquiry concerning the unseen, methods upon which he himself draws extensively and creatively enhances. In this way, he successfully penetrates into the invisible natural world, deciphers its secrets, and thus liberates his pupil from superstitious fears about death and physical phenomena. To justify this proposition, Garani undertakes a systematic analysis of Lucretius’ integration of Empedocles’ methods of creating analogies in the form of literary devices -- personifications, similes, and metaphors -- and demonstrates that his intertextual engagement with Empedocles’ philosophical poem is direct and intensive at both the poetic and the philosophical levels.

Download or read book Remembering Ludlow but Forgetting the Columbine written by Leigh Campbell-Hale and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2023-02-15 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mining the American West Remembering Ludlow but Forgetting the Columbine examines the causes, context, and legacies of the 1927 Columbine Massacre in relation to the history of labor organizing and coal mining in both Colorado and the United States. While historians have written prolifically about the 1914 Ludlow Massacre, there has been a lack of attention to the violent event remembered now as the Columbine Massacre in which police shot and killed six striking coal miners and wounded sixty more protestors during the 1927–1928 Colorado Coal Strike, even though its aftermath exerted far more influence upon subsequent national labor policies. This volume is a comparative biography of three key participants before, during, and after the strike: A. S. Embree, the IWW strike leader; Josephine Roche, the owner of the coal mine property where the Columbine Massacre took place; and Powers Hapgood, who came to work for Roche four months after she signed the 1928 United Mine Worker’s contract. The author demonstrates the significance of this event to national debates about labor during the period, as well as changes and continuities in labor history starting in the progressive era and continuing with 1930s New Deal labor policies and through the 1980s. This examination of the 1927–1928 Colorado Coal Strike reorients understandings of labor history from the 1920s through the 1960s and the construction of public memory—and forgetting—surrounding those events. Remembering Ludlow but Forgetting the Columbine appeals to academic and general readers interested in Colorado history, labor history, mining history, gender studies, memory, and historiography.
