Book excerpt: The revolution of Earth is continuous and so is the passage of time. It is this motion that leads to cycles of change. Time can pause but time periods cannot. Manchaha, a Vigyan Aakrami (Scientific Warrior) in the court of His Highness Mal Malecha was sent to space and outlived his stay period in space. As a result, he escaped the cycle of life and returned back after 1000 years to a modern world that galloped on high end technologies and created a breed of psychological hostages. His association with friends that he had cultivated during his space travel was used by his enemy to brand him as the alien wanting to attack this planet. The twists and turns of the plot keeps the reader on the edge. Ancient living has changed to modern technology and ancient thoughts have become sophisticated. What is ancient today was modern of its times. Bridging the 'ancient modern'and thoughts of those times to today's modernity thought processes is a key element of the central character Manchaha who is the intersection between humans versus aliens and technology versus thoughts.

Book excerpt: One hour to rewrite the past . . . For seventeen-year-old Emerson Cole, life is about seeing what isn’t there: swooning Southern Belles; soldiers long forgotten; a haunting jazz trio that vanishes in an instant. Plagued by phantoms since her parents’ death, she just wants the apparitions to stop so she can be normal. She’s tried everything, but the visions keep coming back. So when her well-meaning brother brings in a consultant from a secretive organization called the Hourglass, Emerson’s willing to try one last cure. But meeting Michael Weaver may not only change her future, it may change her past. Who is this dark, mysterious, sympathetic guy, barely older than Emerson herself, who seems to believe every crazy word she says? Why does an electric charge seem to run through the room whenever he’s around? And why is he so insistent that he needs her help to prevent a death that never should have happened? Full of atmosphere, mystery, and romance, Hourglass merges the very best of the paranormal and science-fiction genres in a seductive, remarkable young adult debut.

Download or read book Nonverbal Communication Across Disciplines Culture sensory interaction speech conversation written by Fernando Poyatos and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a progressive and systematic approach to communication, and always through an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective, this first volume presents culture as an intricate grid of sensible and intelligible sign systems in space and time, identifying the semiotic and interactive problems inherent in intercultural and subcultural communication according to verbal-nonverbal cultural fluency. The author lays out fascinating complexity of our direct and synesthesial sensory perception of people and artifactual and environmental elements; and its audible and visual manifestations through our speaking face, to then acknowledge the triple reality of discourse as verbal language-paralanguage-kinesics, which is applied through two realistic models: (a)for a verbal-nonverbal comprehensive transcription of interactive speech, and (b)for the implementation of nonverbal communication in foreign-language teaching. The author presents his exhaustive model of nonverbal categories for a detailed analysis of normal or pathological behaviors in any interactive or noninteractive manifestation; and, based on all the previous material, his equally exhaustive structural model for the study of conversational encounters, which suggests many applications in different fields, such as the intercultural and multisystem communication situation developed in simultaneous or consecutive interpretating. 956 literary quotations from 103 authors and 194 works illustrate all the points discussed.

Download or read book Bearing an Hourglass written by Piers Anthony and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2012-02-14 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like On a Pale Horse, this second, complete-in-itself novel of the Incarnations of Immortality is a richly imagined and always fascinating story. And again, Piers Anthony adds to his gripping plot a serious, though-provoking study of good and evil. When life seemed pointless to Norton, he accepted the position as the Incarnation of Time, even though it meant living backward from present to past. The other seemily all-powerful Incarnates of Immortality—Death, Fate, War, and Nature—made him welcome. Even Satan greeted him with gifts. But he soon discovered that the gifts were cunning traps. While he had been distracted, he had become enmeshed in a complex scheme of the Evil One to destroy all that was good. In the end, armed with only the Hourglass, Norton was forced to confront the immense power of Satan directly. And though Satan banished him to Hell, he was resolved to fight on.
