Book excerpt: She's got everything she needs to publish a best-selling book — except a charismatic author! Making it in publishing as an editor is daunting but Stephanie Masters has found just what she needs—a brilliant first novel by an unknown writer. Meeting him, she learns he is a recluse—the man is unable and unwilling to promote his book and her New York publishing house won’t go for that. Without promotion the book won’t sell. Unwilling to lose her one chance to rise to the top, Stephanie enlists friends to carry out a deception. They hire a little-known actor and use him to create an author brand. It's a precarious effort and she holds things together through a dizzying ride to bestsellerdom. But all too soon, forces outside her control threatening her scheme, her career, and her relationships. And from this point, it’s a long way to fall.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you do when things go surreal? When things blow up on Matt Cramer, they can be messy. This time the mess might be blood. Whatever it is, right now that bloody mess is all over the walls. A newly minted private investigator, Matt returned to Silver City, New Mexico to open his office. This isn’t a good start. Josh, the office painter, is missing and that’s not a good sign. Nor is the ominous attitude of Officer Ravenwalk, or the fact that the local coffee shop is owned by witches, or that Matt somehow has found himself partnering with a shaman and the blood, if it is blood, is somehow tied to a woman’s disappearance—a disappearance that might involve aliens. Welcome to Silver City, New Mexico, where things are seldom truly wrong, but never quite right, either. Of course, that’s why he’s here.

Download or read book With Slight Tremors written by Ed Teja and published by Float Street Press. This book was released on with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stop right there! It’s time to take a break from the world you think you know and to step through into another one. These five stories offer a guided tour of new possibilities and different places. They rely on magic, science, and sleight of hand, and will betray your trust at every opportunity. But just because they are fantastic, doesn’t mean they aren’t real (somewhere). You can stay tucked away on a safe perch and let this book unveil the genre-bending consequences of rather minor changes to a world that might be the one you live in, or might not; you can follow the way events unravel when cause and effect aren’t quite so boringly predictable. Stories of ideas are, however, always dangerous. Consider yourself warned. This collection includes: —Is That Asking Too Much? —Next Time, I’ll Shoot Him —Hitchhikers —The Last Duck —What Goes Up...

Book excerpt: How would you know when the last of anything is gone? Everything has an expiration date, a point that it simply is no more. Most of the time we aren’t even aware we’ve reached that time until we look around and see that our era has ended, our favorite ice cream flavor is no longer made, we can’t get a telephone that doesn’t connect to the internet, or the last duck is gone. This is a story about two people, quite like us, living in another time, a difficult time, possibly in another place, but one that looks a lot like this one might become not far down the road of time.

Even a smart woman might learn something from a wayward parrot; or maybe the parrot’s reasons don’t work for her. Not that it matters much, as happiness isn’t guaranteed either way.

Download or read book Breaking into the Curriculum written by John F. Schostak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-13 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information technology is here to stay. Its impact has already been far-reaching: in business, in communications, and in leisure activities it has been responsible for replacing human action by that of machines. As such it raised questions about freedom and the meaning of work and human activity which could no longer be ignored by those working in education. The educational response to information technology must ensure that human activities are enhanced rather than enslaved by computers. Originally published in 1988 Breaking into the Curriculum provides one such response. A range of curricular structures and teacher roles are examined for their potential for preserving freedom in a future that was already being formed and informed by electronic systems. Drawing on case studies of pupils and teachers from throughout their school career, the authors of this collection sought to provoke discussion on the true ends of education and the kinds of strategies that would best realise those ends. Information technology, it is argued, is already shaping our thinking concerning the schooling of children. As such it can either create an electronically-controlled environment, or it can provide the stimulus for imaginative, playful, and creative thought and the development of ‘intelligence’ in its broadest sense. The choice is ours: the authors of this collection seek to inform that choice. Today it can be read in its historical context.

Download or read book Patent Models Index Listings by inventor and residence of inventor written by National Museum of American History (U.S.) and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume catalog consists of four indexes providing information on more than ten thousand patent models housed throughout the National Museum of American History's collections. These nineteenth century artifacts are the original models submitted to the United States Patent Office by their inventors. In Volume 1, the Listing by Patent Number sorts the NMAH patent models chronologically by the issued patent number. The Listing by Invention Name organizes the patent models alphabetically by the name of the invention. In Volume 2, the Listing by Inventor organizes the NMAH patent models alphabetically by the inventor's last name. The Listing by Residence sorts the patent models by residence of the inventor at the time of patent issue by country, state, and city. The patent number is a unique number that ties all of the indexes together. Issued by the Patent Office at the granting of a patent, the number links the model to its patent specification. The terminology used is consistent with the Subject-Matter Index of Patents for Inventions Issued by the United States Patent Office from 1790 to 1873, compiled by Mortimer D. Leggett, Commissioner of Patents in 1874.
