Download or read book The Truth About Leprechauns written by Dr. Robert Curran and published by The O'Brien Press Ltd. This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the origins of this hero of Irish lore to his habits, occupations and characteristics. This book offers enlightenment on little-known aspects of the wider fairy world, as well as turning the spotlight on the real leprechaun. Every country has its own myths about fairies and 'wee folk', but the Irish leprechaun is the undisputed king. To some, he is an impish figure full of harmless mischief, forever guarding his elusive crock of gold. To others, he is an evil gnome bent on disrupting the lives of mortals with his black magic and malevolent acts. Historian and folklorist Bob Curran looks at the origins of this hero of Irish lore – fallen angel, diminished god or son of fairies – and at his habits, occupations and characteristics. He explores the superstitions surrounding the leprechaun and his enduring place in popular culture, and turns the spotlight on the 'real' leprechaun – mysterious, complex and contradictory.

Download or read book Brothers written by Clara M. Miller and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-08-23 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warning: this is not a religious book! Brothers, the first book in the Brothers Series, opens in Hell. A modern fantasy/romance, the book describes the efforts of Lucifer to win, wed and impregnate a human female in the hopes of siring the Antagonist and bringing about the Rule of Chaos. This would allow Lucifer free reign over the Earth and its inhabitants. Lucifers Father, The Old Man (aka T.O.M.), cannot allow this but, at the same time because of free-will, cannot openly prevent it. His solution is to send Michael the Archangel to woo the targeted female away from his satanic brother. Michael, whose talent lies not in charm but in military matters, balks but must finally submit to his Fathers will. Much of the action takes place in Scajaquada, New York, a small town on Long Island. Perhaps the fact that its a liberal community and has long accepted outsiders makes it an easy target for such outr doings. In any case, Catherine OConnor is not aware of the identity of the doctor who is paying her court because Lucius Farrell is in reality Lucifer. Since Lucifers main talent is charm, its hard to Cathie to resist him....until she meets a clumsy young man named Michael Angeli who also has a secret identity. Adding spice to the above mixture is the presence of Lucifers Lieutenant, Beelzebub, who is acting as his masters butler under the name Beezly. Michaels fragile ego takes many hits and he sustains many shocks before the final outcome. Included in these shocks is the arrival of his nephew, Ashmadai, Lucifers exiled son along with a fellow-demon named Otis. The human members of the town are not just window-dressing but take an active part in proceedings even though they havent the slightest idea of the importance of the ongoing battle between the Brothers. Cathies parents and brother, her best friend, Sarah, and her husband, a nurse named Nell who loves a demon and Nells friend, Caroline, who has just rescued a demon herself. This is not a religious book nor meant to convey any message. It is, instead.....I hope, a rollicking good read.

Download or read book Supercontinents Orogenesis and Magmatism written by R.D. Nance and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2024-04-24 with total page 814 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a tribute to the career of J. Brendan Murphy and features papers by over 100 authors from countries all over the world: a testament to the high-profile and far-reaching influence of Brendan’s work. The topics covered fall into three broad categories that encompass Brendan’s main fields of influence: (1) supercontinents and the supercontinent cycle, including reconstructions and modelling; (2) orogenesis and terranes, with a focus on the Appalachian–Variscan and Central Asian orogenic belts and the oceans with which they are associated; and (2) magmatism and magmatic processes, centring on the geochemistry and isotopic compositions of magmas in arc and rift setting. Like Brendan’s own research, the scope of the papers spans the globe and ranges from strongly field-based studies to conceptual analyses. All of the articles, however, are focused on unravelling some critical aspect of geology or aimed at clarifying some crucial geological process. Hence, they also share a theme common to Brendan’s many contributions in emphasizing the importance of process-oriented research.

Download or read book Sixty Meters to Anywhere written by Brendan Leonard and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • The author is a popular journalist and blogger and the creator of Semi-rad.com • A full journey—from confusion to clarity, remorse to redemption • Will appeal to those searching for adventure and purpose When Brendan Leonard finished substance abuse treatment at age 23, he was lost. He knew what not to do—not drink alcohol and not get arrested again. But no one had told him what it was that he could do. He quickly realized that he had to reinvent himself, to find something other than alcohol and its social constructions to build his life around. A few years later, Brendan was sober and had completed a graduate degree in journalism, but he still felt he was treading water, searching for direction. Then his brother gave him a climbing rope. And along that sixty-meter lifeline, Brendan gradually found redemption in the crags of the American West. He became a climber, someone who learned to push past fear, to tough it out during long, grueling days in the mountains; someone who supported his partners, keeping them safe in dangerous situations and volatile environments; someone with confidence, purpose, and space to breathe. Sixty Meters to Anywhere is the painfully honest story of a life changed by climbing, and the sometimes nervous, sometimes nerve-wracking, and often awkward first years of recovery. In the mountains, Leonard ultimately finds a second chance.
