Book excerpt: Some girls are better off dead… Being murdered in the bathroom of a cheap and nasty pub wasn't how Samantha Cross—awkward loner—envisioned her leaving party at work. She'd hoped for balloons and happy tears, what she got was a masked psycho and blood. Her blood. So, when she takes her first breath as a dead woman, the last thing she expects is to come face to face with the dangerously sexy man of Death himself. He gives her an ultimatum; work for him as a Death Chaser, or face an unknown fiery fate. It's a no-brainer. The trouble was, now she was dealing with demons, family secrets, newly discovered kick-arse abilities, and her gorgeously arrogant boss, she missed her simple life. Being dead was stressful and getting more complicated by the moment—especially when you turn down a deal with the devil himself and all Hell breaks loose. ** There are moments in your life that you'll never forget. Getting married, giving birth, having hot sex in the back of a stranger’s car... For Samantha Cross—loner, misfit and all round good girl—scrubbing at a red wine stain on her t-shirt in the bathroom of a seedy pub in London was one of them. Not because it was a particularly good wine; no, her works leaving party was cheap and nasty—as were many of her ex-colleagues. She'd remember because it was the evening she came face to face with a masked psycho, right there in the ladies’ bathroom. Oh. And because it was the day she died.
Download or read book The Man Who Caught the Storm written by Brantley Hargrove and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The saga of the greatest tornado chaser who ever lived: a tale of obsession and daring and an extraordinary account of humanity’s high-stakes race to understand nature’s fiercest phenomenon from Brantley Hargrove, “one of today’s great science writers” (The Washington Post). At the turn of the twenty-first century, the tornado was one of the last true mysteries of the modern world. It was a monster that ravaged the American heartland a thousand times each year, yet science’s every effort to divine its inner workings had ended in failure. Researchers all but gave up, until the arrival of an outsider. In a field of PhDs, Tim Samaras didn’t attend a day of college in his life. He chased storms with brilliant tools of his own invention and pushed closer to the tornado than anyone else ever dared. When he achieved what meteorologists had deemed impossible, it was as if he had snatched the fire of the gods. Yet even as he transformed the field, Samaras kept on pushing. As his ambitions grew, so did the risks. And when he finally met his match—in a faceoff against the largest tornado ever recorded—it upended everything he thought he knew. Brantley Hargrove delivers a “cinematically thrilling and scientifically wonky” (Outside) tale, chronicling the life of Tim Samaras in all its triumph and tragedy. Hargrove takes readers inside the thrill of the chase, the captivating science of tornadoes, and the remarkable character of a man who walked the line between life and death in pursuit of knowledge. The Man Who Caught the Storm is an “adrenaline rush of a tornado chase…Readers from all across the spectrum will enjoy this” (Library Journal, starred review) unforgettable exploration of obsession and the extremes of the natural world.
Download or read book Chaser written by John W. Pilley and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaser has a way with words. She knows over a thousand of them—more than any other animal of any species except humans. In addition to common nouns like house, ball, and tree, she has memorized the names of more than one thousand toys and can retrieve any of them on command. Based on that learning, she and her owner and trainer, retired psychologist John Pilley, have moved on to further impressive feats, demonstrating her ability to understand sentences with multiple elements of grammar and to learn new behaviors by imitation. John’s ingenuity and tenacity as a researcher are as impressive as Chaser’s accomplishments. His groundbreaking approach has opened the door to a new understanding of animal intelligence, one that requires us to reconsider what actually goes on in a dog’s mind. Chaser’s achievements reveal her use of deductive reasoning and complex problem-solving skills to address novel challenges. Yet astonishingly, Chaser isn’t unique. John’s training methods can be adopted by any dog lover. Through the poignant story of how he trained Chaser, raised her as a member of the Pilley family, and proved her abilities to the scientific community, he reveals the positive impact of incorporating learning into play and more effectively channeling a dog’s natural drives. John’s work with Chaser offers a fresh perspective on what’s possible in the relationship between a dog and a human. His story points us toward a new way of relating to our canine companions that takes into account our evolving understanding of the way animals and humans learn.
Download or read book Axle s Brand written by C. M. Owens and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fate is just a made-up word used to give us hope or absolution. We find hope when we believe bad things happen to us for a reason. We find absolution when we feel as though the wrongs of our past were just fate's twisted design to bring us to our present, and all of it was out of our hands. Of course, I sort of change my mind after meeting Axle. The man with scars and haunted, cold eyes. The man who only warms when he is around me. The first man I believe won't cost me my life. The first man I've ever believed to actually be honorable, despite the fact he's a ruthless criminal. Only the craziest of fates could have put us in the paths of each other. More of a collision course, really. Life gets complicated. Shit happens. And I sort of fall harder than I thought possible. The first time we met, I was in my pajamas and cowering on the floorboard of his SUV, hiding from my very insane brother. Lovely first impression, I assure you. The second time we met, I was literally skating around a bunch of corpses, because I'm slightly crazy like that. Long story. Obviously my second impression had just as much impact as my first. Because he fell head-over-heels in love with me in that instant. Kidding. That last part is complete bullshit. Axle is far more complicated than insta-love nonsense. Which is one of my favorite things about him. Everything about us is perfectly complicated and wonderfully disastrous. It's what every girl dreams of...as long as they're as crazy as I am. And I'm just crazy enough to hold on, because I don't mind being the psycho chick in roller skates, who is flipping fate the bird when it tries to intervene again. It's just one of my quirks. Turns out, I'm Axle's brand of crazy too. Life should be really freaking interesting. Or catastrophic. Or psychopathic. I guess it depends on how much madness you can embrace. *Adult language *Sexual content *Violence *Not fit for someone who loves rainbows in books. Never mind. There's a rainbow in here.
