Book excerpt: "So Savenius is more powerful than Amenek-Ra?" "Oh yes," said Billy flat. "As Justin said, he is the Prince of gods." "Prince of gods," repeated Christian. "Prince of the Universe." He turned to Kalif. "Which one is more powerful?" General Falcon woke up from his blank daze. "That brings us to the Destiny of the Mythaeon. For it is his task to fight and destroy Savenius." The two boys from Earth turned to Justin, who answered their unspoken question. "These words came into existence after Lord Celonce and Savenius had vanished. It was joined to the Promise of the Mythaeon, saying: There will be a boy one day, who will rule the Realm in the Savus as the Prince of the Universe." Philip and Christian turned at the same time to Kalif. He did not feel like smiling, but did it anyway. "Nice future, don't you think?" "Great," said Christian sarcastic. "Don't you have a say in what you want to do? Aren't you afarid?" asked Philip. Kalif wanted to laugh, but did not make it. "That is the wonderful thing about destiny. My feelings towards everything have hardly any meaning, but they are far beyond fear."

Many of the most important scientists of this age, including Galileo, belonged to a secret society called the Giordanisti, which had the agenda to overthrow the Church and establish a new age of Hermetic supremacy.

Book excerpt: A powerful chronicle of the sixteen weeks leading up to King of Pop Michael Jackson's death. Michael Jackson's final months were like the rest of his short and legendary life: filled with deep lows and soaring highs, a constant hunt for privacy, and the pressure and fame that made him socially fragile and almost -- ultimately -- unable to live. With the insight and compassion that he brought to his bestselling story of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s final year, Tavis Smiley provides a glimpse into the superstar's life in this emotional, honest, yet celebratory book. Readers will witness Jackson's campaign to recharge his career -- hiring and firing managers and advisors, turning to and away from family members, fighting depression and drug dependency -- while his one goal remained: to mount the most spectacular series of shows the world had ever seen. Before You Judge Me is a humanizing look at Jackson's last days.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An obscure independent filmmaker until Halloween (1978), John Carpenter has been applauded for his classic sense of compositions, yet reviled for his "B-film" sensibility. This second edition of the first book-length analysis finds in Carpenter's films a vision of a profound but unexpected order in the universe. The author analyzes Carpenter's early independent work, his made-for-television movies, his big Hollywood films (The Fog, Escape from New York, The Thing, Stephen King's Christine, Starman), his more recent independent work (Big Trouble in Little China, Prince of Darkness, They Live), and his contributions to films he did not direct. This edition fully updates the 1990 edition with attention to the films made since that date. With a chronology of Carpenter's career, a detailed filmography, photos, brief plot synopses, and a thorough index, this volume will be treasured by film scholars and fans alike.
Download or read book The Immortals written by Guillaume Rozenberg and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1952 a twenty-six-year-old man living in a village in Central Burma was possessed by weikza—humans with extraordinary powers, including immortality. Key figures in Burmese Buddhism, weikza do not die but live on in an invisible realm. From there they re-enter the world through possession to care for people's temporal and spiritual needs while protecting and propagating Buddhism. A cult quickly formed around the young peasant, the chosen medium for four weikza ranging in age from 150 to 1000 years. In addition, these weikza appeared regularly in the flesh. The Immortals plunges us into the midst of this cult, which continues to attract followers from all over the country who seek to pay homage to the weikza, receive their teaching, and benefit from their power. The cult of the four weikza raises a number of classic anthropological issues, particularly for the anthropology of religion: the nature of the supernatural and of belief; the relations among religion, magic, and science; the experience of possession. It also provides a window on contemporary Burmese society. To contemplate both, the author adopts an unconventional approach, which itself reflects representation in anthropology, or, more precisely, how anthropology uses description and the interpretations description occasions to make sense of what it studies. The writing makes clear both the indigenous take on reality and the work of anthropological understanding as it is being elaborated, along with the ties that connect the latter to the former. Mixing narration of the incredible with reflection on the forms religious experience takes, The Immortals offers us a way to accompany the author into the field and to grasp—to take up and make our own—the anthropologist's interpretations and the realities to which they pertain.
