Even though he can't spend time in the warm waters of Belize, policeman Conrad Bishop is happy to spend time with his girlfriend, Amber, at a private beachfront home in Nantucket. After a tranquil evening walking the beach, Conrad wakes at 3:00 AM, turns on the television, and hears a disturbing news report about a deadly influenza plague-the direct result of a terrorist attack on the United States. Rushing into his bedroom, he finds his girlfriend unconscious and suffering from a high fever. When he tries to take her to the hospital, the town is in a panic. Cars clog the road, and he's forced to return to the beach house. Amber never regains consciousness, and by that evening, she is dead. Grief stricken, Bishop is suddenly thrust into a world that changes by the minute. Terrorists attack every major city in the United States with car bombs and invade American embassies overseas. With a small group of survivors, Conrad struggles to stay alive. His fight will take him to the very steps of the White House and have him waging a valiant crusade to keep a dying nation alive.
Download or read book The Other Side of Yesterday written by Carol Miller and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-08-17 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did people from the early high cultures of Asia cross the Pacific Ocean thousands of years ago and leave their mark on societies in the ancient Americas? This was a hypothesis once seriously entertained by archaeologists and art historians, but it fell into academic disfavor in the 1960s. In this book, Carol Miller, an independent scholar, writer-journalist, and sculptress who has lived nearly half a century in Mexico City, draws our attention once again to the plausibility-indeed, the near certainty-of early trans-Pacific contacts. As she presents a startling panorama of parallels among the art, architecture, theology and astronomy of the Mayas, as viewed in relation to other peoples of the Americas, as well as those of Asia, she demonstrates the likelihood that exchanges took place between them, not occasionally but regularly and continually. From southern China, northern Vietnam, Southeast Asia and India, seasoned navigators challenged the Pacific, reached the west coast of South America and from there, north into Central America and what is now Mexico, right into the sculpture, painting, and even the social organization of the people called Mayas. Miller draws on the work of the late Austrian anthropologist Robert Heine-Geldern and his American colleague Gordon F. Ekholm, as well as the renowned Norwegian archaeologist-explorer Thor Heyerdahl, among other scholars of diffusion, thus, she claims, the spread of ideas, customs, and styles in art and design, language, calendar, even political hierarchies, from one end of the globe to the other. She reminds us that the notion of early contacts between Asia and the Americas is not new, but that it is time to dust it off and take a fresh look at the evidence. Her reminder is especially timely in light of recent finds, that demand a fresh look at everything we have ever before been taught about human evolution, patterns of migration, cultural and social development.
Download or read book Do a Isidora Peruvian Short Stories and Poetry of Yesterday Today and Tomorrow written by Dorila A. Marting and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-07-29 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doa Isidora is a story of love, romance, disobedience, disinheritance, betrayal, repentance and reform, of learning to lead a fulfilling life for the benefit of the community. The setting is the quaint Andean town the natives call Pomabamba (Region of Mountain Lions), located in northern Peru. The heroine, fifteen-year-old Ishi Villarreal, is about to pass from girlhood to young womanhood; as is customary, she is expected to be obedient and marry the suitor her parents have already selected for her. Unbeknownst to Teodosio and Dona Luisa, however, Ishi has secretly fallen in love with the aptly named Amador, a dashing young Spanish Don Juan newly arrived in town. Will the hopes and dreams of Ishi's parents become a reality? Or will true love conquer all? *** A native of Pomabamba, Peru, Dorila A. Marting grew up surrounded by the tales of her native city as told by family members and local Quechua storytellers. In Peruvian Short Stories, Marting brings these childhood accounts to life with a narrative that is as distinctively authentic as it is universally relatable. "This Peruvian legend has many versions depending on who is telling the story. I will relate to you what I heard a long, long time ago, as a child, from an elderly storyteller Quechua woman named Mama Cunchina." The Cave of Maria Josefa With voices spanning from the small and elderly mouse (the Emigration of Domestic Animals) to the all-encompassing Mama Patcha (Mother Earth), every story is uniquely enchanting while still supporting the overall parable that is weaved throughout the collection. Marting illustrates her memories with the ease of the Quechua storytellers of her youth, and indeed, these accounts of love, loss, family, nature, friendship, and respect are as crucial and resonant today as they were during the inception of Peruvian Folklore. I invite you to navigate to a foreign land and to a foreign culture and enjoy these stories as much as I have." Mary L. Jones, introduction *** These poems are the author's recollections of life in Peru and the United States. Her background in journalism is reflected in her writing style and choice of topics. She worked for nine years for two leading daily newspapers, The Arizona Republic in Phoenix and The Arizona Daily Sun in Flagstaff, Arizona.

This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 942 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1994, these two volumes are intended as a supplement to the four-volume edition edited by Gordon N. Ray in 1945-46. In writing to his broad range of correspondents, Thackeray produced a varied body of letters that will help readers to better understand his nineteenth-century society as well as his professional and private life — especially his relationships with women. These volumes contain 1713 letters: 1464 to and from Thackeray that were not included in the earlier volumes, and 249 with texts that have been edited from newly available manuscripts, and that thereby replace texts that were printed in Ray from incomplete sources.
Download or read book Yesterday Today written by Catherine S. Barker and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence into pop culture of quaint and simple Ozarks Mountaineers—through the writings of Vance Randolph, Wayman Hogue, Charles Morrow Wilson, and others—was a comfort and fascination to many Americans in the early twentieth century. Disillusioned with the modernity they felt had contributed to the Great Depression, middle-class Americans admired the Ozarkers’ apparently simple way of life, which they saw as an alternative to an increasingly urban and industrial America. Catherine S. Barker's 1941 book Yesterday Today: Life in the Ozarks sought to illuminate another side of these “remnants of eighteenth-century life and culture”: poverty and despair. Drawing on her encounters and experiences as a federal social worker in the backwoods of the Ozarks in the 1930s, Barker described the mountaineers as “lovable and pathetic and needy and self-satisfied and valiant,” declaring that the virtuous and independent people of the hills deserved a better way and a more abundant life. Barker was also convinced that there were just as many contemptible facets of life in the Ozarks that needed to be replaced as there were virtues that needed to be preserved. This reprinting of Yesterday Today—edited and introduced by historian J. Blake Perkins—situates this account among the Great Depression-era chronicles of the Ozarks.
Download or read book Dimensions of Movement written by Artemis Alexiadou and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2002-08-08 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a collection of papers of recent generative research into the properties of phrasal and feature movement, which explore these key syntactic phenomena from different angles and across languages. The papers advance or build on models of movement which capitalize either on generalized feature movement or on generalized remnant movement. Both these approaches attempt to develop a restrictive theory of movement aiming at a simplification of the operations of the computational system. Despite the fact that they are so different technically, generalized feature movement and generalized remnant movement both push the theory of movement to the same direction in two important respects: (a) Elimination of head movement. (b) Elimination of covert movement. The book is of primary interest to researchers and students in theoretical linguistics and syntactic theory.
Download or read book The Remnant of Truth Seekers written by Mary Ruth Whitley and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have had the pleasure of living my entire life in a family of Christians. My children had many nonbelieving friends while growing up. As they individually reached out to their circle of friends, some saw the light and became believers, but not all accepted Jesus as their Savior. Others would tell one of my four children that they became Christians after watching how he or she had grown into adulthood committed to follow Christ. As a family, we would have discussions about the rapture because of Scripture or even books we read. Our concern was for our friends and relatives who never made a commitment to love the Lord. Our conversations left us wondering if (after the rapture) they would remember our talks and seek an answer, or would they just give up""believing it was too late? The Remnant of Truth Seekers "" Living God's Final Prophecies is a realistic, different, and definitely unique scenario of what might possibly occur after the rapture. Characters and locations develop as the story gains momentum. Readers will be drawn into the lives of these people as they watch them struggle and work through seven years of prophetic, biblical discovery. As truths are uncovered, they must be applied to their lives. Survival depends on community living much like the book of Acts. Life is now totally relevant to what the prophets in the Old Testament, and the apostles of the New Testament, penned for mankind. Life for the remnant parallels much of what is found in Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation, as well as the unfulfilled prophecies in the New Testament. The end of their saga does not come at Armageddon, but when God Almighty is reigning on and in His new heaven and new earth. The Holy Bible will always define "real life" for anyone who is interested in knowing the truth!
Download or read book The Inman Diary written by Arthur Crew Inman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 1748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1919 and his death by suicide in 1963, Arthur Crew Inman wrote what is surely one of the fullest diaries ever kept by any American. Convinced that his bid for immortality required complete candor, he held nothing back. This abridgment of the original 155 volumes is at once autobiography, social chronicle, and an apologia addressed to unborn readers. Into this fascinating record Inman poured memories of a privileged Atlanta childhood, disastrous prep-school years, a nervous collapse in college followed by a bizarre life of self-diagnosed invalidism. Confined to a darkened room in his Boston apartment, he lived vicariously: through newspaper advertisements he hired "talkers" to tell him the stories of their lives, and he wove their strange histories into the diary. Young women in particular fascinated him. He studied their moods, bought them clothes, fondled them, and counseled them on their love affairs. His marriage in 1923 to Evelyn Yates, the heroine of the diary, survived a series of melodramatic episodes. While reflecting on national politics, waifs and revolutions, Inman speaks directly about his fears, compulsions, fantasies, and nightmares, coaxing the reader into intimacy with him. Despite his shocking self-disclosures he emerges as an oddly impressive figure. This compelling work is many things: a case history of a deeply troubled man; the story of a transplanted and self-conscious southerner; a historical overview of Boston illuminated with striking cityscapes; an odd sort of American social history. But chiefly it is, as Inman himself came to see, a gigantic nonfiction novel, a new literary form. As it moves inexorably toward a powerful denouement, The Inman Diary is an addictive narrative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The diary became a many-layered and strikingly animated work of a gifted writer, by turns charming, repellent, shocking, cruel, and comical. But the diary is also an uninhibited history of his times, of his eccentricities and fantasies, of his bizarre marriage arrangements and sexual adventures. Inman's explorations of his own troubled nature made him excessively curious about the secret lives of others.

Book excerpt: Opposites attract in this unforgettable favorite from New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods Victoria Marshall was an incurable romantic with her antique shop and rustic farmhouse, love poems and yesterday's fashions. She was yearning for a Prince Charming to sweep her off her feet. The dashing Tate McAndrews fit the bill, but alas, the IRS representative overseeing her audit had the soul of a stuffy realist. Tate was so…sensible, so practical…without an impulsive bone in his gorgeous body. How could she yearn with such heated longing for a man her mind knew was wrong for her? Could they share more than a brief romance without driving each other crazy? Love, Victoria knew, would find a way.
