Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It all began on the night of the Big Wind. A wild and savage night in January 1839 when a storm struck Ireland, leaving such suffering and devastation in its path that a mark remained on the minds and hearts of Irishmen, and the land itself, ever after. It was the night Sterrin O'Carroll, 'blossom of the storm', was born in Kilsheelin Castle. Growing up during Ireland's darkest hours, Sterrin forms a bond with a household servant called Young Thomas that deepens over the years into a forbidden love – a love as fierce and relentless as the storm that ushered her into the world. But their paths are divided by devastating events that change the course of Ireland's history. After the bitterness and the sorrow finally wane, Sterrin's indomitable spirit never weakens because, Thomas, like her beloved land, will return to her.
Download or read book A Gift from the Past and The Big Wind written by Joann Klusmeyer and published by Innovo Publishing. This book was released on 2024-04-25 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: STORYTELLING AT ITS BEST FOR TWEENS & TEENS - FAITH & FAMILY-FRIENDLY - Book 1 in the Footsteps in the Canyon Adventure Series Thirteen-year-old Caitlyn knew that many feet had walked over the beautiful high meadow and into the deep rugged canyon she loved so much near her family’s guest ranch in the Oklahoma Panhandle. In addition to the hooves, padded paws, claws, and talons that still roamed this untamed land, there were the footsteps of boots, shoes, and moccasins of centuries past that had left their mark with stories to be told. What Caitlyn didn’t know was just how personal all those stories would become as she and her homeschooled friends left their own footsteps in the canyon. This exceptionally researched historical fiction series for tweens and teens combines stories from the present day with those of the settlers pushing West in the late 1800s and from the lives of the Kiowa Indians a century earlier. A GIFT FROM THE PAST (Story 1) Caitlyn’s discovery of a tragedy in the canyon by her home was unexpected. That day, she was only wishing to rest her eyes from staring at the computer screen and at the puzzle called mathematics. But this discovery was a different kind of puzzle, and with each piece she set in place, it squeezed her heart a little more. Yet she was drawn to it like a moth to a flame and would cherish it for the rest of her life. THE BIG WIND (Story 2) Over the years, many people had lived on the high meadow beside the box canyon, including those of the tipi village a hundred years ago. Now, thirteen-year-old Caitlyn lives on the same high meadow. She visits the same canyon with the river running through it. She feels the same sunshine and rain and even the whirling cone of wind dropping out of the clouds—that fearsome funnel of air and debris known as the twister. Staying safe would not be easy.

Download or read book On the Big Wind written by David Madden and published by Holt McDougal. This book was released on 1980 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subtitle of this little book is: "Seven Comic Episodes In the Fitful Rise of BIG BOB TRAVIS From Disc Jockey In an Eastern Kentucky Mountain Town To Network-Television News Reporter." And sure enough, Madden's new novel seems like an amalgamation of short stories--one appears in this year's Pushcart Prize collection (p. 556)--and again, as in Bijou and The Shadow Knows, his accurate, reportorial feel for popular culture is on display. Big Bob Travis spins country-and-western and talks dirty off-the-air with adventure-starved women (his wife for one). He does a remote from a recreational-vehicle dealership. He changes names as often as he does jobs. He oozes out on a for-women-only show: "This is Daryl Don Donovan, your secret admirer, waiting for your call on this moist blue August morning. Listen sweetheart, if you've got an interesting response to my little sally this morning--Who had the greatest impact on your life?--I'd love to hear about it, so snuggle down in the sofa and pick up that white, scented telephone and--Well, there you are, my darling."But no matter how phony Daryl/Bob is, the women who call in are just as lonely and sincere--and that paradox is the best material here. Unfortunately, though Bob does eventually become "David Epstein" of network-news fame, the book is shapeless: a pat string of radio vignettes, Madden's second recent novel (see Pleasure-Dome, 1979) to seem patched together rather than dipped and cast whole. Some fun, then, some impressive eye-and-ear observation too--but rather disappointing work from a writer whose best fiction (The Suicide's Wife, 1978) has promised a major talent in the making."--Kirkus

Book excerpt: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Reamde, and Cryptonomicon comes an exciting and thought-provoking science fiction epic—a grand story of annihilation and survival spanning five thousand years. What would happen if the world were ending? A catastrophic event renders the earth a ticking time bomb. In a feverish race against the inevitable, nations around the globe band together to devise an ambitious plan to ensure the survival of humanity far beyond our atmosphere, in outer space. But the complexities and unpredictability of human nature coupled with unforeseen challenges and dangers threaten the intrepid pioneers, until only a handful of survivors remain . . . Five thousand years later, their progeny—seven distinct races now three billion strong—embark on yet another audacious journey into the unknown . . . to an alien world utterly transformed by cataclysm and time: Earth. A writer of dazzling genius and imaginative vision, Neal Stephenson combines science, philosophy, technology, psychology, and literature in a magnificent work of speculative fiction that offers a portrait of a future that is both extraordinary and eerily recognizable. As he did in Anathem, Cryptonomicon, the Baroque Cycle, and Reamde, Stephenson explores some of our biggest ideas and perplexing challenges in a breathtaking saga that is daring, engrossing, and altogether brilliant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a series of pioneering studies, this book examines the creation—and the conflict behind the creation—of sacred space in America. The essays in this volume visit places in America where economic, political, and social forces clash over the sacred and the profane, from wilderness areas in the American West to the Mall in Washington, D.C., and they investigate visions of America as sacred space at home and abroad. Here are the beginnings of a new American religious history—told as the story of the contested spaces it has inhabited. The contributors are David Chidester, Matthew Glass, Edward T. Linenthal, Colleen McDannell, Robert S. Michaelsen, Rowland A. Sherrill, and Bron Taylor.

Download or read book The Chinchaga Firestorm written by Cordy Tymstra and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2015-08-16 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compiled by a radical journalist and poet in the early days of the French Revolution, these subversively satirical lives of women saints sought to win both women and men away from religion. Though based on authentic hagiography, Maréchal's "new" legendary introduces a skeptical, rationalist perspective that anticipates modern critical approaches. Along with Delany's thorough introduction and notes, Anti-Saints offers a new perspective on the cultural climate of the French Revolution and a strikingly modern contribution to our own public conversation on religion. A must for scholars and non-specialists alike, and lovers of audacious wit.
