Book excerpt: A crisis has arisen. On their first mission as a team, Pretorius and his Dead Enders kidnapped the real General Michkag and substituted a clone who had been raised and trained in the Democracy.

Download or read book Star Wisdom and Rudolf Steiner written by David Tresemer and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2007-02 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flower essences are liquid, energetic remedies derived from living flowers. They bring the natural dynamic energy of the plant directly into the human electro-system, where they work to bring about movement toward health and balance. Because of their energetic and living quality, they work directly and deeply in the emotional system, assisting in the release of early wounds and trauma. These suppressed imprints are considered to be a main causes of many types of diseases or imbalances today. Flower essences are a perfect complement to many of today's health practices. They enhance the effects of energy work, physical therapy, acupuncture, psychotherapy, cranial-sacral work, massage, aroma therapy and many other forms of healing and treatment. Flower essences are safe, natural, and non-toxic. Continuing the work of Edward Bach, Stars of the Meadow looks deeply into the relationship between health and the human personality. David Dalton takes us on a thorough and soulful exploration of how to use more than forty medicinal herbs as flower essences, portraying each flower in a way that is both substantive and inspired. Each description is organized to present a picture of how the flower essence affects the adult personality as it has been formed through life, and describes its direct clinical effects on children and animals. Dalton also connects different types of flowers--based on the number and arrangement of petals as well as associated colors and qualities--to the system of human chakras, or energy centers. This innovative approach allows the reader to discover new ways to employ flower essences to focus on specific areas of one's being, from the most physical to the highest levels, allowing a kind of flexibility rarely found in any single system of healing. Stars of the Meadow is a valuable guide not only for those who are new to flower essences, but also for seasoned herbalists who wish to deepen their knowledge of this effective method of healing body, mind, and soul.

Download or read book The Politics of Military Rule in Brazil 1964 1985 written by Thomas E. Skidmore and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1990-03-08 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The largest and most important country in Latin America, Brazil was the first to succumb to the military coups that struck that region in the 1960s and the early 1970s. In this authoritative study, Thomas E. Skidmore, one of America's leading experts on Latin America and, in particular, on Brazil, offers the first analysis of more than two decades of military rule, from the overthrow of João Goulart in 1964, to the return of democratic civilian government in 1985 with the presidency of José Sarney. A sequel to Skidmore's highly acclaimed Politics in Brazil, 1930-1964, this volume explores the military rule in depth. Why did the military depose Goulart? What kind of "economic miracle" did their technocrats fashion? Why did General Costa e Silva's attempts to "humanize the Revolution" fail, only to be followed by the most repressive regime of the period? What led Generals Geisel and Golbery to launch the liberalization that led to abertura? What role did the Brazilian Catholic Church, the most innovative in the Americas, play? How did the military government respond in the early 1980s to galloping inflation and an unpayable foreign debt? Skidmore concludes by examining the early Sarney presidency and the clues it may offer for the future. Will democratic governments be able to meet the demands of urban workers and landless peasants while maintaining economic growth and international competitiveness? Can Brazil at the same time control inflation and service the largest debt in the developing world? Will its political institutions be able to represent effectively an electorate now three times larger than in 1964? What role will the military play in the future? In recent years, many Third World nations--Argentina, the Philippines, and Uruguay, among others--have moved from repressive military regimes to democratic civilian governments. Skidmore's study provides insight into the nature of this transition in Brazil and what it may tell about the fate of democracy in the Third World.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story begins some 300 years ago when the planet Centauri sent a tiny spaceship to Earth. The saga began from a discovery that the two planets, were created identically. This book is the final chapter evolving from the first three in the storyline. Background would be revealed by reading the first three, i.e.: “Hush Sisters Hush”, “Music for Centauri”, and “The Search for Tesla”. All of which are available in eBooks and paperbacks. This book is a continuation with all the same characters. This story is about adapting to living on a new planet, since circumstances on Earth gave grave concern for remaining. The 40 times lightspeed spacecraft made the two-month journey in a luxury comparable to a cruise ship. Now they fit in nicely and live in the mansion of the woman who started it all. They are now among a populous with life expectances approaching 1000 years. Physical appearances have no identifiers that are discernable, except the slow growth of children. On Centauri there is but one culture and no religions. The global population is 150 million and has but one language. So, now with interest in Earth waning, the Council of Centauri wants to utilize this marvelous spacecraft to search the galaxy for life beyond what has before been limited to sub-lightspeed vehicles. They decided on a ten-year expedition with a crew of seven only to find that the cosmos has little to offer except months of boredom.

Someone who made him tremble even if she wasn’t from his world. Sylvia Forrester never expected her quest for a husband would lead her into danger. Nor could she have ever foreseen that her search would find her captured by aliens and added to a list of potential sex-slaves to be sold for a high profit.

But Arak and Sylvia soon discover love and passion has its own price.
Download or read book Letalis written by Rishika Porandla and published by Rishika Porandla. This book was released on 2022-08-16 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I find it simpler to believe that I've fallen under a curse. At least with this mentality, I can believe that what I must do to survive is fueled by something larger than me—something tragic and wicked that lays its anchor in my mind." LETALIS is the alias of the weapon sheathed to her skin, but as tales in Solaris often go—power and human flesh cannot coexist without becoming one with each other. Ceres believes she's far from that outcome, however, not having experienced much of anything within the steady, monotonous fabric of her Sun District life. However, upon the arrival of familiar strangers, unfortunate realizations spur a sudden connection to a clandestine empire and force Ceres to assimilate into the dimension herself, bearing the moral fallout that accompanies it. LETALIS is the story of one vengeful family's wrongdoings, and those they bring down with them in the process. Hand in hand with those just as lost as she finds herself to be, Ceres plunges into a catastrophe of betrayal and love—and the unfortunate tragedy of unconditional power.
