Book excerpt: From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Unteachable and Black Iris comes a sexy, romantic suspense novel about two best friends who are torn apart by a life-shattering accident, and the secrets it left behind. Vada and Ellis's friendship is so intense and consuming, it's hard to tell where one girl ends and the other begins. Yet they couldn't be more different: Ellis is nerdy, shy, and rich; Vada is an ambitious artist struggling to make ends meet. When Vada gets into an elite New England art college, Ellis comes along for the ride. Like always. They can face anything in the world as long as they're together ... Until a horrifying accident tears them apart. Life goes on, and Ellis handles it just fine on her own, but Vada is deeply scarred--emotionally and physically. Her once-promising career as an artist is cut short by her injuries. Broke and severed from doing what she loves, she meets the wrong guy at the right time: Dane, a smooth-talking lothario, who offers her a new career as a cam girl. All Vada has to do is spend a couple hours each night taking off her clothes in front of a webcam, and the tips come pouring in. Things get complicated when a client who calls himself Blue gets possessive. Through the safety of the cam, they open up to each other intimately. Vada finally talks about the accident. Blue helps her heal. And he pays well, but he wants her all to himself. No more cam shows. He's a mystery, and she might be falling for him, so Vada demands something in return: to meet in real life. Blue agrees, on one condition: she has to bring Ellis. The girl who wants nothing to do with her anymore. Now Vada is forced to confront the past she's been running from. A past full of devastating secrets--those of others, and those she's been keeping from herself ...

Download or read book Colors Passing Through Us written by Marge Piercy and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Colors Passing Through Us, Marge Piercy is at the height of her powers, writing about what matters to her most: the lives of women, nature, Jewish ritual, love between men and women, and politics, sexual and otherwise. Feisty and funny as always, she turns a sharp eye on the world around her, bidding an exhausted farewell to the twentieth century and singing an "electronic breakdown blues" for the twenty-first. She memorializes movingly those who, like los desaparecidos and the victims of 9/11, disappear suddenly and without a trace. She writes an elegy for her mother, a woman who struggled with a deadening round o fhousework, washin gon Monday, ironing on Tuesday, and so on, "until stroke broke/her open." She remembers the scraps of lace, the touch of velvet, that were part of her maternal inheritance and fist aroused her sensual curiosity. Here are paeans to the pleasures of the natural world (rosy ripe tomatoes, a mating dance of hawks) as the poet confronts her own mortality in the cycle of seasons and the eternity of the cosmos: "iam hurrying, I am running hard / toward I don't know what, / but I mean to arrive before dark." Other poems--about her grandmother's passage from Russia to the New World, or the interrupting of a Passover seder to watch a comet pass--expand on Piercy's appreciation of Jewish life that won her so much acclaim in The Art of Blessing the Day. Colors Passing Through Us is a moving celebration of the endurance of love an dof the phenomenon of life itself--a book to treasure.
Download or read book Einstein s Unfinished Dream written by Don Lincoln and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-24 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity has long looked to the sky and marvelled at the world around us. We've wondered why the world is the way it is and whether it has to be that way. For millennia these questions were theological, transitioning to philosophical during the Enlightenment, but the discipline that now drives progress is science. We now look forward, hoping to make additional connections and create a better understanding of the ultimate laws of nature. We dream of a time when we have developed a theory of everything--a theory that answers all questions. There is so much that we don't know. This book is up front about our ignorance and spends some time dispelling some of the more popular theories. It then redirects the reader's attention to how we will actually move forward, by identifying things we don't yet understand and engaging with the experiments that will drive our comprehension. Einstein's Unfinished Dream explores the cutting-edge research of modern particle physicists that pushes us slowly towards a theory of everything. Marshalling decades of experience in distilling high-level scientific concepts, Lincoln invites readers into the mysteries of dark matter, dark energy, matter/antimatter asymmetry, quark and lepton flavor, and other phenomena that have puzzled humanity for centuries.

Book excerpt: Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy, authors of The Jesus Mysteries and Jesus and the Lost Goddess, return with a powerful indictment of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic fundamentalism and a passionate reinterpretation of Gnostic spirituality. According to Freke and Gandy, religiously inspired acts of violence, such as the attacks on 9/11, are nothing new. They are the continuation of a long and bloody history of brutality caused by mistaking bizarre old books for the Word of God. The time has come to end religious intolerance and wake up to oneness by rediscovering the Gnostic way of transforming oneself and the world. Freke and Gandy's Incendiary New Book Is a Wake-Up Call to the World What if the Old Testament is a work of fiction, Jesus never existed, and Muhammad was a mobster? What if the Bible and the Qur’an are works of political propaganda created by Taliban-like fundamentalists to justify the sort of religious violence we are witnessing in the world today? What if there is a big idea that could free us from the us-versus-them world created by religion and make it possible for us to truly love our neighbors—and even our enemies? What if it is possible to awaken to a profound state of oneness and love, which the Gnostic Christians symbolized by the enigmatic figure of the laughing Jesus? Discover for Yourself Why the Gnostic Jesus Laughs

Download or read book Life Now written by Jansher and published by Jansher Khan. This book was released on 2024-07-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The capability of today's man has become so narrow that it is painful to imagine. Today's human life is reduced to working, eating, sleeping, and reproducing. First, they placed today's man in a certain place, then gave him the wrong values. National values, patriotism, ideological values. They caught him at a certain point. They closed all avenues for him. They took away his chances. Today's man knows nothing about life. He sees nothing of creation. Today's man never knows how far the beauty of nature and divine creation is spread. He knows nothing. Because his whole life is spent fighting over things that are all lies and illusions, his life is wasted fighting and struggling with his comrades. He never gets anywhere. That is why he is in agony. Then few people take advantage of the facilities and the nations beat each other over the head, they are busy enjoying life and creation. The sole mission of humanity today is to provide land for certain groups to live on. Human slavery today has become so brilliant that it has almost assumed the color of sanctity and godliness. In the name of knowledge and education, he learns the art of slavery in the first half of his life, and in the second half, he does his slavery. They call it "alive"!

Download or read book Spinoza s Dream written by David Weissman and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meaning (significance) and nature are this book’s principal topics. They seem an odd couple, like raisins and numbers, though they elide when meanings of a global sort—ideologies and religions, for example—promote ontologies that subordinate nature. Setting one against the other makes reality contentious. It signifies workmates and a coal face to miners, gluons to physicists, prayer and redemption to priests. Are there many realities, or many perspectives on one? The answer I prefer is the comprehensive naturalism anticipated by Aristotle and Spinoza: "natura naturans, natura naturata." Nature naturing is an array of mutually conditioning material processes in spacetime. Each structure or event—storm clouds forming, nature natured—is self-differentiating, self-stabilizing, and sometimes self-disassembling; each alters or transforms a pre-existing state of affairs. This surmise anticipated discoveries and analyses to which neither thinker had access, though physics and biology confirm their hypothesis beyond reasonable doubt. Hence the question this book considers: Is reality divided:nature vrs. lived experience? Or is experience, with all its meanings and values, the complex expression of natural processes?

You probably face them every single night when you dream, but when you wake, it’s all a blur. My name is Amelia Blake, and I’m a dreamwalker…at least that’s what Seth told me the night he kidnapped me and brought me into the Dreamscape.

He also claims I agreed to help him break a curse keeping him imprisoned in the dream realm. Thing is I don’t remember him. In fact, I think he’s crazy, even though he’s crazy sexy, but I’m trapped with him and will do anything to find a way out. The only problem is I’ve done something really stupid, and now the Erobos are after me. If Seth’s right, these guys not only send nightmares, they can steal a person’s soul. If I’m not careful, they’ll take mine. If I don’t discover a way to beat them, they’ll come for yours next. Think magic doesn’t exist in our world? Think again… Weaver of Dreams is an upper Young Adult urban fantasy romance with a kick-butt heroine readers of the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare, Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead, and the Shadow Demons Saga by Sarra Cannon will enjoy. There are mild sexual situations and mild language.
Download or read book Faith Through the Prism of Psychology written by Eugene Subbotsky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-29 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith Through the Prism of Psychology introduces readers to the structure and function of the inherent ability of our Self to invest objects with reality — existentialization (EXON). The author moves away from traditional ideas of existence and faith, arguing that it is an inherent ability of an individual mind to invest entities (both objective and subjective) with reality. The book treats faith as a psychological ability of the mind to upgrade the existential statuses of imaginary entities, such as ghosts or gods; the working of faith is operationalized and analyzed in empirical psychological studies. It presents a new model of investing objects with existence, with such structural elements as the belief in object permanence (BOP), magic/ordinary distinguisher (MOD), magic/trick distinguisher (MTD), imaginary/perceived distinguisher (IPD), BOP defense mechanism (BOP/DM) and realities distinguisher (RD). It will be essential reading for anyone interested in existence from psychology, philosophy, art, theology or psychotherapy backgrounds.
