Download or read book The Devil S Revenge written by Jack Darmend and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-02-10 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As long as mankind has existed he has been plagued by two questions, Where did I come from? and Where am I going? Anthropologists, geologists, astronomers, and archaeologists have been searching for an answer to the first question and have produced a lot of evidence to show where mankind came from and how long mankind has existed on planet Earth. Theology students have applied their own thinking on both these questions and claim to know the answers. This book takes an individual view and reaches a definite and alarming conclusion. The author lived with his family through the Second World War and after the end of the war went to an agricultural college and then spent many years as a farm worker where he came to the conclusion that life was not as we have been led to believe by the establishment. In the agricultural college, he studied the work of Gregor Mendel and the subject of genetics in all living things, animal, and plants of all kinds and reached the conclusion that the creator of all life on earth is the sun, which is responsible through its various light forms, infrared, ultraviolet, and other forms of lights that are not visible to mankind but can be seen by some species of animal that humans look down on and think of as low life.

Download or read book The Devil s Details written by Chuck Zerby and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Footnotes have not had it easy. Their dominance of eighteenth- and nineteenth- century literature and scholarship was both hard-won -- following many years of struggle -- and doomed, as it led to belittlement in the twentieth century. In The Devil's Details, Chuck Zerby playfully explores footnotes' long and illustrious history and makes a clarion call to save them from the new world of the Internet and hypertext. In a story that boasts a marvelous plot and a rogues' gallery of players, Zerby examines traditional footnotes and their less-buttoned-down incarnations, as when used by pornographers. Yes, The Devil's Details is full of surprises: Zerby hunts down the first bona fide fully functioning footnote; unearths a multivolume history of Northumberland County, England, that uses one volume for a single footnote; and uncovers a murder plot. He even explains why footnotes are like blind dates. Carefully researched and highly opinionated, The Devil's Details affirms that delight in reading can come from unexpected places.

Download or read book Ambrose Bierce The Devil s Dictionary Tales Memoirs LOA 219 written by Ambrose Bierce and published by Library of America. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 1064 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A veteran of some of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, Ambrose Bierce went on to become one of the darkest and most death haunted of American writers, the blackest of black humorists. This volume gathers the most celebrated and significant of Bierce's writings. In the Midst of Life (Tales of Soldiers and Civilians), his collection of short fiction about the Civil War, which includes the masterpieces "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" and "Chickamauga," is suffused with a fiercely ironic sense of the horror and randomness of war. Can Such Things Be? brings together "The Death of Halpin Frayser," "The Damned Thing," "The Moonlit Road," and other tales of terror that make Bierce the genre's most significant American practitioner between Poe and Lovecraft. The Devil's Dictionary, the brilliant lexicon of subversively cynical definitions on which Bierce worked for decades, displays to the full his corrosive wit. In Bits of Autobiography, the series of memoirs that includes the memorable "What I Saw of Shiloh," he recreates his experiences in the war and its aftermath. The volume is rounded out with a selection of his best uncollected stories. Acclaimed Bierce scholar S. T. Joshi provides detailed notes and a newly researched chronology of Bierce's life and mysterious disappearance. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing.

Their collected memories make the past look fearfully rich beside a present that is poverty-stricken in everything except money.”—The New Yorker “Bogdanovich is one of America’s finest writers on the cinema. . . . Thank goodness [his] Who the Devil Made It has come along to remind us that films and writing about film were, at one time, focused on the work and not strictly on the bottom line.”—The Boston Globe “A treasure trove on the craft of directing.”—Newsday “Monumental . . . The directors’ reminiscences about technique, working methods, sources of ideas, and relationships with actors and studios are thoroughly entertaining.”—Publishers Weekly “A fine achievement that helps illuminate the art and craft of some remarkable directors . . . There are plenty of revealing anecdotes.”—Kirkus Reviews
