Commander Gabriel Merriweather, half-breed Chakkra and master empath with the Diplomatic Corps, awaits his sterile playmate of the evening.

But the next day he learns that the woman isn't a Dome employee, but a maternity client who has stolen his sperm and disappeared. Sol can't believe that the man she just spent the night with is the very man who destroyed her warship career. What will he do if he discovers that she's carrying his child?

Download or read book Kubla Khan written by Samuel Coleridge and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though left uncompleted, “Kubla Khan” is one of the most famous examples of Romantic era poetry. In it, Samuel Coleridge provides a stunning and detailed example of the power of the poet’s imagination through his whimsical description of Xanadu, the capital city of Kublai Khan’s empire. Samuel Coleridge penned “Kubla Khan” after waking up from an opium-induced dream in which he experienced and imagined the realities of the great Mongol ruler’s capital city. Coleridge began writing what he remembered of his dream immediately upon waking from it, and intended to write two to three hundred lines. However, Coleridge was interrupted soon after and, his memory of the dream dimming, was ultimately unable to complete the poem.

Download or read book Delamotte s Crystal Palace written by Ian Leith and published by Historic England. This book was released on 2005 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents 47 photographs, which were all taken in 1859 by Philip Henry Delamotte and showed the interior of the Crystal Palace after it had been rebuilt in Sydenham, London and before it was destroyed for the first time by fire in 1866. These photographs are now housed in English Heritage's photographic archive, the National Monuments Record. All 47 photographs are beautifully reproduced in this book, as well as shots of the building in its original Hyde Park site where it was built for the great exhibition of 1851. Also included are views of the Crystal Palace when it was rebuilt after the 1866 fire and then when it was destroyed again by fire in 1936. The book also tells the story of this legendary Victorian pleasure dome and its many incarnations. Much of our previous knowledge of this important building and its contents came almost entirely from engravings. The reproduction of these high quality original photographs allows, for the first time, a much fuller appreciation of one of the most important architectural and cultural features of mid-Victorian England, which in its heyday was visited by many millions of people.

Book excerpt: *LONGLISTED FOR CANADA READS 2023* NATIONAL BESTSELLER A family tries to learn from the mistakes of past generations in this whirlwind memoir from a wholly original new voice. The Caetanos move into a doomed house in the highway village of Happyland before an inevitable divorce pulls Cody’s parents in separate directions. His mom, Mindimooye, having discovered her Anishinaabe birth family and Sixties Scoop origin story, embarks on a series of fraught relationships and fresh starts. His dad, O Touro, a Portuguese immigrant and drifter, falls back into “big do, little think” behaviour, despite his best intentions. Left alone at the house in Happyland, Cody and his siblings must fend for themselves, even as the pipes burst and the lights go out. His protective big sister, Kris, finds inventive ways to put food on the table, and his stoic big brother, Julian, facilitates his regular escapes into the world of video games. As life yanks them from one temporary solution to the next, they steal moments of joy and resist buckling under “baddie” temptations aplenty. Capturing the chaos and wonder of a precarious childhood, Cody Caetano delivers a fever dream coming-of-age garnished with a slang all his own. Half-Bads in White Regalia is an unforgettable debut that unspools a tangled family history with warmth, humour, and deep generosity.
Download or read book The Pleasure Dome written by Josie Barnard and published by Virago Press. This book was released on 2002-05-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-three year old Belle is bright, funny and a hopeless mess of self-doubt; a situation not impoved by having a glamorous, highbrow television presenter for a mother. In a bid to shock her mother and hijack some attention for herself, she gets a job as a dancer at Xanadu, a glitzy and cheap strip joint in Soho run by a 'hands on' proprietor, with tough girls who eye this new innocent in the dressing room with thinly veiled scorn and suspicion. But to her surprise, Belle finds her new persona - in g-strings and outlandish stage shows- fits her better than her old anxious self. This new, flamboyant, sexy thing feels like the real Belle. But only until Belle makes the mistake of thinking she is equal to the situation... The relationship between sex, self and society is brilliantly dissected in this darkly witty second novel by one of Britain's rising stars.

Download or read book NDN Coping Mechanisms written by Billy-Ray Belcourt and published by House of Anansi. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his follow-up to This Wound is a World, Billy-Ray Belcourt’s Griffin Poetry Prize–winning collection, NDN Coping Mechanisms: Notes from the Field is a provocative, powerful, and genre-bending new work that uses the modes of accusation and interrogation. He aims an anthropological eye at the realities of everyday life to show how they house the violence that continues to reverberate from the long twentieth century. In a genre-bending constellation of poetry, photography, redaction, and poetics, Belcourt ultimately argues that if signifiers of Indigenous suffering are everywhere, so too is evidence of Indigenous peoples’ rogue possibility, their utopian drive. In NDN Coping Mechanisms: Notes from the Field, the poet takes on the political demands of queerness, mainstream portrayals of Indigenous life, love and its discontents, and the limits and uses of poetry as a vehicle for Indigenous liberation. In the process, Belcourt once again demonstrates his extraordinary craft, guile, and audacity, and the sheer dexterity of his imagination.
