Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AWARD WINNER! Book of the Year Awards 2003 BRONZE MEDAL IN THE FANTASY/SCI-FI CATEGORY Of another time and place, WILLSTORM-Quest for Union chronicles the lives of the thousands of worshippers aboard the wandering temple dome, the Carnate of Mygda. Ruled by a council of 12 prelates, the mobile temple dome rumbles like a massive tank across the countryside in its age-old search for Union, a final, undefined, mystical merging with the godhead known only as Mygda. Bral, the acolyte of Yano, Primate of the Wardens of Disaster, has known the temple since the earliest days of his youth when the temple was temporarily landlocked in a narrow gorge at the edge of his village. Now at young manhood, Bral strives to quiet the religious doubts which rage within him as he also struggles first to save a young woman being offered as sacrifice to the godhead, Mygda, and eventually to defend himself against charges of blasphemy and sacrilege. Found guilty, he is sentenced to a deathwalk, leading the temple across the arid plains until he falls beneath its tractor drives. Strange powers in the Orb of Union, the glowing artifact which dates from the earliest history of Mygda, endows Ikol, an itinerant huckster and thief, with the divine power of Mygda. Ikol becomes an anointed one and assumes control of the ruling council as the 13th Primate, the Warden of Willstorm. He will unleash the Great Calamity which is foretold as the preface to the event of Final Union. Amid the violence and religious fanaticism, the love between Bral and Pylar struggles to express itself. Religious faith must be renewed or abandoned, and either course tested in battle. Both a prequel and a sequel to WILLSTORM are in work.

Download or read book Complexity written by M. Mitchell Waldrop and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If you liked Chaos, you’ll love Complexity. Waldrop creates the most exciting intellectual adventure story of the year” (The Washington Post). In a rarified world of scientific research, a revolution has been brewing. Its activists are not anarchists, but rather Nobel Laureates in physics and economics and pony-tailed graduates, mathematicians, and computer scientists from all over the world. They have formed an iconoclastic think-tank and their radical idea is to create a new science: complexity. They want to know how a primordial soup of simple molecules managed to turn itself into the first living cell—and what the origin of life some four billion years ago can tell us about the process of technological innovation today. This book is their story—the story of how they have tried to forge what they like to call the science of the twenty-first century. “Lucidly shows physicists, biologists, computer scientists and economists swapping metaphors and reveling in the sense that epochal discoveries are just around the corner . . . [Waldrop] has a special talent for relaying the exhilaration of moments of intellectual insight.” —The New York Times Book Review “Where I enjoyed the book was when it dove into the actual question of complexity, talking about complex systems in economics, biology, genetics, computer modeling, and so on. Snippets of rare beauty here and there almost took your breath away.” —Medium “[Waldrop] provides a good grounding of what may indeed be the first flowering of a new science.” —Publishers Weekly

Download or read book A Confederacy of Dunces written by John Kennedy Toole and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize “A masterwork . . . the novel astonishes with its inventiveness . . . it is nothing less than a grand comic fugue.”—The New York Times Book Review A Confederacy of Dunces is an American comic masterpiece. John Kennedy Toole's hero, one Ignatius J. Reilly, is "huge, obese, fractious, fastidious, a latter-day Gargantua, a Don Quixote of the French Quarter. His story bursts with wholly original characters, denizens of New Orleans' lower depths, incredibly true-to-life dialogue, and the zaniest series of high and low comic adventures" (Henry Kisor, Chicago Sun-Times).
