September 1922 – Iris Woodmore returns to Walden after a scandalous trip abroad – and not everyone is pleased to see her. Her efforts to mend relations are hindered by her growing attraction to the unpredictable Reverend Archie Powell. Only her friend, wealthy businesswoman Constance Timpson, welcomes her back. Constance has made deadly enemies and needs Iris to defend her from a hostile press. When a single shot is fired at Constance, no one is sure if the sniper intended to scare or kill – but when two of her factory workers go missing, it’s clear the threat is real.

Download or read book The Carnival Trilogy written by Wilson Harris and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2013-02-21 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, introduced by the author, brings together three novels first published separately. 'The trilogy comprises Carnival (1985), The Infinite Rehearsal (1987) and The Four Banks of the River of Space (1990), novels linked by metaphors borrowed from theatre, traditional carnival itself and literary mythology. The characters make Odyssean voyages through time and space, witnessing and re-enacting the calamitous history of mankind, sometimes assuming sacrificial roles in an attempt to save modern civilisation from self-destruction.' Independent on Sunday ' The Four Banks of the River of Space is a kind of quantum Odyssey... in which the association of ideas is not logical but... a 'magical imponderable dreaming'. The dreamer is Anselm, another of Harris's alter egos, like Everyman Masters in Carnival and Robin Redbreast Glass in The Infinite Rehearsal... Together, they represent one of the most remarkable fictional achievements in the modern canon.' Listener

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win." - John F. Kennedy "We need to get this back to the labs before we can run any real tests.” Taylor ran off from the screen yelling, “I’m sending you pictures and my findings so far." The crew of the Phoenix VII are the first humans to set foot on Mars, and yet, this was insignificant compared to their true mission: to search the Gorgon crater. On their way back home to Earth, a solar flare hits the ship, sending the Phoenix VII out into space. The crew crash lands and finds themselves fighting for their lives. The Phoenix VII faces aliens, elements, nature and a deadly threat they brought with them from Mars. Their only goal? To get back home to settle the debate about life outside Earth once and for all. "The last two days all Taylor could think about was the bacteria they recovered from Mars. If what Sophie said was true, and he had no reason to doubt her, then the bacteria was adapting rapidly." Will they manage to succeed when the unpredictability of the universe sets in? Avernus: Book One is the start of this unique science fiction world, which will appeal to fans of Kim Stanley Robinson's Aurora and Andy Weir's The Martian. The focus on science and biology will fascinate fans of David Brin's Uplift War series. "I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space. There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet. But I'm an optimist. We will reach out to the stars." - Stephen Hawking
Download or read book Ritual in Early Modern Europe written by Edward Muir and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-08-18 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The comprehensive 2005 study of rituals in early modern Europe argues that between about 1400 and 1700 a revolution in ritual theory took place that utterly transformed concepts about time, the body, and the presence of spiritual forces in the world. Edward Muir draws on extensive historical research to emphasize the persistence of traditional Christian ritual practices even as educated elites attempted to privilege reason over passion, textual interpretation over ritual action, and moral rectitude over gaining access to supernatural powers. Edward Muir discusses wide ranging themes such as rites of passage, carnivalesque festivity, the rise of manners, Protestant and Catholic Reformations, the alleged anti-Christian rituals of Jews and witches. This edition examines the impact on the European understanding of ritual from the discoveries of new civilizations in the Americas and missionary efforts in China and adds more material about rituals peculiar to women.
