When Nick’s rebellious ways place Celeste in danger, she is forced to seek safety in the Midwest. As if the familial alienation isn’t enough, she’s tormented by her forbidden desire for Tristan, the supreme warrior of her parents’ coalition, the Realm.

Their history is often buried in philosophies and medical theories, religious and scientific practices, and countless stories of devotion and tragedy. In this history of superstitions and marvels, fantasies and experiments, William Viney—himself a twin—shows how the use and abuse of twins has helped to shape the world in which we live. This book has been written not just for twins, but for anyone interested in their historical, global, and political impact.
Download or read book The Immortal Self written by Richard Wilde and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2010 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Immortal Self" traces historical ideas of the self as developed by philosophers, theologians, neurophysiologists, and scientists. It includes explanations of quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of relativity that are readable and understandable by the layperson. It considers what science presently is capable of contributing to our many diverse concepts of what constitutes the self. To this end, "The Immortal Self" explores the brain, its morphology and operation, explores our concepts of time, and looks at the metaphysical concepts of quantum physics. The book also considers the paleontological and genetic evidence for the self. Ideas of the self extend into the mists of human history and have been handed down through the ancient Greek philosophers and through the religious prophets and philosophers. These ideas are collected and presented in an unbiased account for consideration by the reader. Finally, an empirical search for the self is suggested. About the Author Richard E. Wilde is Professor Emeritus of chemistry and biochemistry at Texas Tech University. He is a member of the American Chemical Society and the American Physical Society.

Download or read book A Saint from Texas written by Edmund White and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Edmund White, a bold and sweeping new novel that traces the extraordinary fates of twin sisters, one destined for Parisian nobility and the other for Catholic sainthood. Yvette and Yvonne Crawford are twin sisters, born on a humble patch of East Texas prairie but bound for far more dramatic and tragic fates. Just as an untold fortune of oil lies beneath their daddy's land, both girls harbor their own secrets and dreams-ones that will carry them far from Texas and from each other. As the decades unfold, Yvonne will ascend the highest ranks of Parisian society as Yvette gives herself to a lifetime of worship and service in the streets of Jericó, Colombia. And yet, even as they remake themselves in their radically different lives, the twins find that the bonds of family and the past are unbreakable. Spanning the 1950s to the recent past, Edmund White's marvelous novel serves up an immensely pleasurable epic of two Texas women as their lives traverse varied worlds: the swaggering opulence of the Dallas nouveau riche, the airless pretension of the Paris gratin, and the strict piety of a Colombian convent. For nearly half a century, Edmund White's work has revitalized American literature, blithely breaking down boundaries of class and sexuality, and A Saint From Texas is one of his most joyous, gorgeously written, and piercing works to date.
