Book excerpt: Jason Starke, the Iceman, was at the pinnacle of his success. His technique on the ice was without equal. Privately, he knew that his skill was polished perfection but an emotional wasteland.He needed more. He would have it. Years before, he had seen a prodigy on the ice, a phenom who had lit up the skating world, a meteor that blazed across the ice and then was gone as quickly as she had come. Diana Diamond had escaped the world of competitive skating. The unrelenting demands of her coaches had destroyed the joy of skating for her. Instead, she used her skill and talent to create world-class programs for other skaters. As a choreographer she made the rules, choose those with whom she worked. The joy of skating was hers again and she fiercely guarded that need and that emotion. Pippa knew of Jason’s need to achieve more for himself than just technique and skill without emotion. She knew too how stubborn he could be when he got an idea in his head. He was building a skating complex, teaching, and training facility for young skaters. He wanted Diana Diamond to handle the choreography for the facility. Pippa had followed Diana’s career and the major change she had made from competitive skating to choreography. She understood the courage and the determination of such a switch had taken. Jason had more than met his match and he wasn’t having the success he expected. Maybe she needed a short vacation in Denver. She had finished her latest book and she deserved a reward. Besides, Pippa had to check out Jason’s progress, didn’t she? Plus, she really wanted to meet the young woman she admired. Two birds, one stone. If she managed to help Jason that was just an added benefit.

Book excerpt: Imagine what it might be like after taking a nice hot shower, to open the curtain and find yourself in another dimension in time and space. Everything and everyone you ever knew – is gone. That is exactly what happened to me - Ripley Tremont. One minute I’m drying off with a soft, fluffy towel, the next – I’ve traveled far into the future and end up in a strange new world. Worse yet, this particular planet remains locked in a state of perpetual winter - and not like the wimpy earth winters I was used to either. Being outside for more than a few minutes is downright hazardous, unless you’re into becoming an ice sculpture. Which I sort of was, for a while… As if being transported to a frozen world wasn’t bad enough, I’ve learned that I’m residing within the only livable place on the planet, and, it just happens to be a prison! The guards are androids that seem far too human, and some of the convicts are sinister extraterrestrial beings, but all the weirdness aside – I guess things could be worse – at least I’m alive. There are a couple of humans here, brothers no less, and they’re as different as night and day. Strangely enough, they’ve told me I need to write a book about my experience here so we can send it back in time. So here it is… By the way, the future is amazing! Wish you were here!

Download or read book When the Asteroid Hits written by Allen A. Debus and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2024-10-04 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incomprehensible notion of a very large chunk of ice or rock from outer space smashing into the Earth has only become mainstream within the past two centuries. Though early writers imagined the utterly fantastic consequences of comet collisions and speculated on the devastation they might wreak, it was not until the 1980s when scientists finally resolved that dinosaurs were extinguished by an asteroid 66 million years ago. This startling announcement captivated the media and tilted the science fiction world but in reality, history may have been punctuated repeatedly by such events. This book collects and analyzes ideas of asteroid, comet, and planetary impacts with Earth spanning two centuries, from the first realization of extinctions in fossil records to the new millennium, reflected in scores of sci-fi stories, films, and televised science documentaries. The author examines social and geopolitical fears tied to the prospect of a cosmic-borne catastrophe. Science, fiction, and speculation are artfully melded.

Book excerpt: JAMES BEARD AWARD WINNER • A rich, transportive guide to the world of Japanese cocktails from acclaimed bartender Julia Momosé of Kumiko ONE OF THE TEN BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: Boston Globe • ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: Vanity Fair, Food52, Wired • “A love letter to the art of preparing a drink.”—Vanity Fair With its studious devotion to tradition, craftsmanship, and hospitality, Japanese cocktail culture is an art form treated with reverence. In this essential guide, Japanese American bartender Julia Momosé of Kumiko and Kikkō in Chicago takes us on a journey into this realm. She educates and inspires while breaking down master techniques and delving into the soul of the culture: the traditions and philosophy, the tools and the spirits—and the complex layering of these elements that makes this approach so significant. The recipes are inspired by the twenty-four micro-seasons that define the flow of life in Japan. Enter a world where the spiced woodsy cocktail called Autumn’s Jacket evokes the smoldering burn of smoking rice fields in fall, and where the Delicate Refusal tells the tale of spring’s tragic beauty, with tequila blanco and a flutter of sakura petals. Perfected classics like the Manhattan and Negroni, riffs on some of Japan’s most beloved cocktails like the Whisky Highball, and even alcohol-free drinks influenced by ingredients such as yuzu, matcha, and umé round out the collection.
Download or read book The Diamonds of Marange written by Itai T. Mupanduki and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the treacherous African mineral terrain as it illustrates the powerless voiceless peasants in the village of Marange pitted against corrupt government elite. Both are then pitted against a global Multinational company and its proxies, The Military Industrial Complex. Threatened by a political opposition party, the ruling elite is caught up in its populist rhetoric and the desire for profit. Lacking capital the ruling elite is at the crossroads. But the military industrial complex has no permanent friends, leaving the peasants caught in the middle. Marange explores the missed opportunities while at the same time leaving the reader both entertained and educated. The author takes the reader to Marange through the eyes of Mugove, a peasant farmer, Taona, a high school teacher and the generality of the characters in the book who serve in their various capacities to illustrate the disjointed social and political atmosphere emerging because of the diamond discovery. The interesting contradictions and relationships that emerge in the peasant-elite-multinational company triangle make very interesting reading. This book is an essential reading for anyone interested in Africa and its minerals.
