Download or read book The Glen Rock Book of the Dead written by Marion Winik and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her author's note, Marion Winik writes that in Mexico on the Day of the Dead, "people build altars to their loved ones . . . they go to the cemetery and stay all night, praying, singing, drinking, wailing. They tell the sad stories and the noble ones; they eat cookies shaped like skeletons. They celebrate and mourn at once." Striking that balance, The Glen Rock Book of the Dead presents snapshot portraits of The Jeweler, The Driving Instructor, The Bad Influence, The Queen of New Jersey—and roughly fifty others who have touched Winik's life, from her son's second grade teacher to Keith Haring. Tied together by the inimitable, poignant voice of Winik, these losses form not only an autobiography but a story of our time, delivering a lyrical journey that ultimately raises the spirits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enemies become lovers in a divided Scotland in this “marvelous tale” of history and passion (Diana Gabaldon). From birth, Catriona Campbell and Alasdair Og MacDonald are enemies—for he is the second son of her clan’s most powerful foe. Yet from the moment they meet, they know they will lie in each other’s arms someday. Their love, though centuries forbidden, comes at the most dangerous of times, as they become pawns of war . . . and of history. For rebellion has been stirring, and under the orders of King William III, a bloody price will be paid at Glencoe . . . This “stirring” love story set against the backdrop of a notorious massacre is “well worth a Highland journey” (Kirkus Reviews). “Roberson’s world of 17th-century Scotland is atmospherically real.” —Publishers Weekly
Download or read book Economics of the Undead written by Glen Whitman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether preparing us for economic recovery after the zombie apocalypse, analyzing vampire investment strategies, or illuminating the market forces that affect vampire-human romances, Economics of the Undead: Zombies, Vampires, and the Dismal Science gives both seasoned economists and layman readers something to sink their teeth into. Undead characters have terrified popular audiences for centuries, but when analyzed closely, their behaviors and stories—however farfetched—mirror our own in surprising ways. The essays collected in this book are as humorous as they are thoughtful, as culturally relevant as they are economically sound, and provide an accessible link between a popular culture phenomenon and the key concepts necessary to building one’s understanding of economic systems big and small. It is the first book to apply and combine economics and our society’s fascination with the undead, and is an invaluable resource for those looking to learn economic fundamentals in a fun and innovative way.

The modern-day protagonist and ex-Falkand's hero, Frederick Delman, is reluctantly thrown into the realm of espionage and bio-terrorism and beomes caught up in the retrieval of a deadly substance, the success of which becomes all the more urgent after the outbreak of the Gulf War. Being initially under the charge of his former friend and fellow veteran of the '82 conflict, Delman is eventually forced to make his own way on a journey which sees him bound for the West Highlands of Scotland and an isolated croft on the shores of Loch Nevis. There he must tackle the sinister figure of Ishbaal and endeavour to frustrate his foe's deadly intent. His difficulties are compounded by instances of mistaken identity, high secrecy and attempts on his life and mission. And all the while the lady of his life is left behind ignorant of his predicament.

Civilisation is set against the brutality of war and the grandeur and wildness of nature's elements, whilst the hero and his associates maintain principle and purpose throughout.

Download or read book The Whisper in the Glen written by P. M. Hubbard and published by Murder Room. This book was released on 2013-07-14 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Kate forsakes London to join her husband in the North of Scotland, it is more than a journey to an unfamiliar land. The spirit of the Highland village, invested with ancient clan warfare, works its magic on her; and the foundations of her matter-of-fact marriage, and of her being, shift eerily. Kate soon finds herself enmeshed in the tangle of desires, jealousies and darker emotions that run riot beneath the deceptively calm surface of the ingrown little town. Passions rise in the hills; guilty secrets are laid bare in the valleys; and a lonely and ironic death on a mountainside rights old wrongs. 'One of the most haunting, with a marvellously romantic Highland setting ... eminently satisfying and inevitable' Publishers Weekly

Download or read book Finding a Million Star Hotel written by Bob Mizon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-04 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bob Mizon, one of the world’s best known campaigners against the veil of light pollution that has taken away the starry sky from most of the world’s population, takes readers to a hundred places in the UK and the USA where the wonders of the night sky might still be enjoyed in perfect or near-perfect night skies. Visiting small hotels and simple campsites, and savoring vast dark-sky reserves where the night sky is actively protected, The Million-Star Hotel celebrates the black skies of yesteryear – which may become a reality for more and more of us as modern technology reins in lighting and puts it only where needed. How can you prepare for your stay beneath the stars? What astronomy can you do during the daytime? What kind of equipment will you need? Questions such as these are answered, and if town dwellers return inspired – and, Bob hopes, also inspired to look with fresh eyes at their own local lighting – there is enough information here for them to equip themselves for some urban astronomy too.
