Download or read book The Long Arm of Mannister written by Edward Phillips Oppenheimer and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2021-11-11 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1908, ‘The Long Arm of Mannister’ is one of author E. Phillips Oppenheim’s best-known novels. Revolving around a criminal named Mannister, the book is a collection of connecting short stories. Mannister has been conspired upon by his fellow criminals, and one by one each story reveals how Mannister wreaks his revenge on each of his enemies. A clever tale of ruin, vengeance and downfall. E. Phillips Oppenheim (1866-1946) was a hugely prolific and highly popular British author of novels and short stories. Born in Tottenham, London, Oppenheim left school as a teenager and worked for his leather-merchant father for 20 years prior to launching his literary career. Oppenheim published five novels under the pseudonym ‘Anthony Partridge’ before establishing his reputation as a writer under his own name. An internationally successful author, Oppenheim’s stories revolved mainly around glamourous characters, luxurious settings, and themes of espionage, suspense, and crime. He is widely regarded as one of the earliest pioneers of the thriller and spy-fiction genre as it is recognised today. Oppenheim’s incredible literary success meant that his own life soon began to mirror that of his opulent characters. He held lavish, Gatsby-style parties at his French Villa and was rumoured to have had frequent love affairs aboard his luxury yacht. Oppenheim’s success earned him the cover of Time magazine in 1927. Some of his most well-known novels include ‘The Great Impersonation’, ‘The Long Arm of Mannister’ and ‘The Moving Finger’.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1915, when Jennings Cropper Wise was commandant of the Virginia Military Institute, The Long Arm of Lee has never been surpassed as an authoritative study of the Confederate artillery in the Civil War. Volume I describes the organization and tactics of the field batteries of General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and their performance in famous battles, including those at Bull Run, Malvern Hill, Cedar Mountain, Harper's Ferry, Sharpsburg, and Fredericksburg. It ends with the bitter winter interlude before the Chancellorsville campaign of the spring of 1863. Volume 2 of Wise's history, also available as a Bison Book, takes up the harrowing events stretching from Chancellorsville to Appomattox. In his introduction, Gary W. Gallagher addresses some of the myths exposed by Wise, touching on the persistent under-estimation of the artillery's role in winning battles.

Download or read book Stay written by Ian Newbegin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a nutshell. Mind travel is a reality. Beings from all over the universe work together as operatives for the Inter Galactic Council to maintain peace. However, components of the original mind transfer device, which could also alter the mind permanently, have been found. The council fears that a crucial component containing the circuitry for the device has been seen on the planet Tishog and if it falls into the wrong hands, mind control would be a possibility, making it possible to change the course of history in favour of those in control of the device. The council, therefore, must retrieve it first to ensure universal safety. Frank Melton, a reluctant operative from Earth, teams up with other operatives to retrieve the missing piece. Opening. Bankrupt and remorseful, Frank Melton tries to get his life together, two years after losing his job. He decides to practice meditation to help him to relax and to guide his thoughts during the healing period. During this time, he has unexpected and unexplainable visions, which unnerve him at first, but after a series of ‘tests’ he comes to realize that the visions were indeed due to his mind being transferred to a host body on the planet, Trellin. He is forced to keep his involvement secret, since leaders on Earth were not aware of such advanced technology and it was thought by the council that such knowledge held by a developing planet may cause chaos. If he disclosed his involvement to anyone, his memory would be wiped of all participation. Closing. A sample of a drug that can render an operative ‘comatose’ is retrieved by an ‘all-Earth’ team of operatives. An operative known by Frank only as “Tolok” approaches Frank for support, should he need it when they return to earth. The mission is successful and Frank is asked by Howard and an elder from Trellin to save the incarcerated Tolok, since he had been without food for three days, kept alive only by his controller which was losing energy. However, Frank is not told the circumstances behind Tolok’s internment. Frank struggles with the non-committal manner exercised by Howard and the elder and begins to doubt whether he wants to continue to participate with the program. Saving Tolok adds fuel to his thoughts since Tolok proved to be a serial rapist and child molester. The three books on one page. Book one: Summarized above. Book two: Frank is still considering whether or not he wants to continue with the operative program when Howard, an intelligent robot, asks Frank to help save a fellow operative and friend, Tim, who had been rendered comatose on the planet, Tishog. As a consequence to Franks gallant action, he and Tim pair up for future operations which continue to be involved with finding the missing components of the ‘mind control’ device, though this time, they are up against more sophisticated and advanced communities. Frank also suspects that a friend, Gabrielle, is also an operative, but for who? Could she be working with the rival group, Deltrum, and enemy of the Intergalactic Council? Frank and Tim also become suspicious of the elders of Trellin, suspecting that they want the device for their own gain, but proof thus far has eluded them. Frank once again takes time away from the program to reconsider his involvement. Book three: Frank develops a ‘virus’ which effectively prevents his controller from reporting erroneous thoughts to the elders. He gains the trust of Gabrielle and with Tim, the three operatives foil a plot by the elders on Trellin to alter the minds of earth leaders (including the military) and to take control of the planet, since Trellins resources are depleted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mystery crime fiction written in the Golden Age of Murder "Tired of newspaper headlines that accuse cops of malfeasance or worse? Veteran editor Edwards has the perfect antidote: 15 reprints of stories from 1908 to 1966 showing English police officers at (generally) their most sterling." —Kirkus Reviews In classic British crime fiction, dazzling detective work is often the province of a brilliant amateur—whereas the humble police detective cuts a hapless figure. The twelve stories collected here strike a blow for the professionals, with teasing mysteries to challenge a hard-working police officer's persistence and scrupulous attention to detail. As in his previous anthologies for the British Library Crime Classics series, Martin Edwards introduces readers to fascinating neglected gems of British crime writing as well as uncovering lesser-known stories by the great novelists of the golden age. Each of these stories combines realism with entertainment, skilfully blending the conduct of a criminal investigation with a compelling murder-mystery plot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: —Unbridled power corrupts, but what halter provides the bridle? Magic has a price, and the price for difficult magic is rapid aging. Because cold iron short-circuits controlled magic, wizards in the Age of Magic struggle to find a new source of power to compete against the dawning Age of Iron. Without a new source of power for the wizards, cold steel dooms the Age of Magic and the Age of Iron will ascend. When Junak the Hunter attempts to save his wife from marauding slavers, an explosion of wild magic burns away his right hand. With the aid of a wizard recently released from an imprisoning stasis, Junak's hand regenerates, but not to its original condition. Instead, the hand acquires a quicksilver sheen, and the magical power from Junak's hand flows into any steel weapon that he wields. Magic was never able to bend iron to its will before. Will Junak's new ability allow him to reunite his family or simply make him a wildcard tool that wizards can wield to topple a kingdom? Junak Silverhand is Book 1 in the Age of Magic / Age of Iron series.
Download or read book Man vs Ocean One Man s Journey to Swim The World s Toughest Oceans written by Adam Walker and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-05 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adam Walker is not your everyday record-breaking sportsman. He took on arguably the toughest extreme sport on the planet – to swim non-stop across seven of the world’s deadliest oceans wearing only swim trunks, cap and goggles. It is not a test for the faint-hearted. In 2007, Adam, then a toaster salesman, was inspired by a film about a man attempting to change his life by swimming the English Channel to try to emulate the feat. After a year of rigorous training without a coach, Adam achieved his goal in 11 hours 35 minutes, despite a ruptured bicep tendon leading to medical advice to give up long-distance swimming. In 2011, after two operations and a change to his swimming style to take pressure off his injured shoulder, he became the first Briton to achieve a two-way crossing from Spain to Morocco and back. In the process, he broke the British record one way. Shortly afterwards, the Ocean’s Seven challenge was born, a gruelling equivalent to the Seven Summits mountaineering challenge. At first it seemed that injury would prevent Adam from participating but, ignoring medical advice, he developed an innovative technique – the Ocean Walker stroke – that would enable him to continue with the ultimate aim of completing this seemingly impossible feat. Whether man would triumph over ocean, or fail in the attempt, forms the core of this extraordinary autobiography. Always intriguing, sometimes terrifying, and occasionally very funny, Adam’s story is about sport in its truest form: rather than competitions between teams and individuals, it is about man against nature – and against his own failings and demons. In that, it is truly inspirational.

Download or read book Dare to Invent the Future written by Clapperton Chakanetsa Mavhunga and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rallying manifesto for the innovative problem-solving we need to build a better, more verdant, and sustainable planetary existence. Academics are letting Africa down. With all that we know, what do we have to show for it? Whose lives have been changed for the better by it? What have we done for and with our communities lately? In this provocative book—the first in a trilogy—Clapperton Chakanetsa Mavhunga argues that our critical thinkers must become actual thinker-doers. Taking its title from one of Thomas Sankara’s most inspirational speeches, Dare to Invent the Future looks for moments in Africa’s story where precedents of critical thought and knowledge in service of problem-solving are evident to inspire readers to dare to invent such a knowledge system. Mavhunga revisits insights from Edward Wilmot Blyden, Booker T. Washington, Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, Amílcar Cabral, Julius Nyerere, and Thomas Sankara to illustrate how the academic disciplines have been, and could be, deployed in the service of and through problem-solving, building on what people are doing and know. At its core, he writes, knowledge in the service of and through problem-solving derives from reading the past for new questions, doing due diligence in the present, and contriving an anticipatory approach toward the future. Questioning the fundamental premises of Western and white knowledge production, especially regarding science and technology, Mavhunga proposes in this book refreshingly new approaches to thinking-doing that stem from African realities, in the hopes of inspiring a generation that will run toward, not away from, problems to solve them.
