Download or read book Chromophobia written by David Batchelor and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2000-09 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Batchelor coins the term "chromophobia"--A fear of corruption or contamination through color--in a meditation on color in western culture. Batchelor analyzes the history of, and the motivations behind, chromophobia, from its beginnings through examples of nineteenth-century literature, twentieth-century architecture and film to Pop art, minimalism and the art and architecture of the present day. He argues that there is a tradition of resistance to colour in the West, exemplified by many attempts to purge color from art, literature and architecture. Batchelor seeks to analyze the motivations behind chromophobia, considering the work of writers and philosophers who have used color as a significant motif, and offering new interpretations of familiar texts and works of art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yip Chi Chuan, a young martial and spiritual ascetic, must flee as the only home he has ever known, the ancient monastery of the Priests of K'un Lun, is destroyed by a newly ascendant extradimensional evil. Cast out and alone, Yip strikes out on a quest spanning the breadth of his home world of Ea'ae and into the greater macroverse beyond in an attempt to unseat an all-consuming Darkness rooted in his once vaunted order's distant past. Will Yip, the last of his kind to walk the wide world beyond his fallen sanctuary, succeed where his mighty brethren failed in ages past? Unfortunately for Yip, the answer appears all too clear... Without the guidance and teachings of his lineage, pursued by malevolent supernatural agents of the Cabal, unable to fully defend himself in a world steeped in magic, his quest may fail before it ever begins. Unfazed by his limitations, guided by his inner vision and direct experience of the energies of life, the radiant chi suffusing and enlivening the world all around, he is determined to triumph where others have faltered. To win forward, he will need help...but first he must survive. A blend of Western fantasy and Eastern martial arts and mysticism, the Chronicles of the Fists is an epic trilogy recounting Yip's adventures against all odds.

Book excerpt: I’m getting tired of dead bodies showing up every time I turn around. One—ew. And two—I’m so not qualified for this. I mean, this was supposed to be a magical drug bust. Easy peasy. But with my plucking luck, I walk right in and stumble over a dead body. This body belongs to a dealer who was worse than most. She took advantage of mixed breed shifters who were more powerful than they realized; she stole magic and got on the bad side of my favorite dragon. Bennett’s raging and I need to solve this case before he goes off the deep end. A rookie against dealers and addicts is not good odds. But it gets worse. Because the killer knows how to hex. Hexing uses magical equations to do the dirty work … and I hate math … well, math and murder.

Download or read book The Armored Fist The 712th Tank Battalion in the Second World War written by Aaron Elson and published by Fonthill Media. This book was released on 2014-03-26 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 712th Tank Battalion landed in Normandy three weeks after D-Day and spent eleven months in combat. Along the way, its men dug up potatoes with their tanks and roasted them on the exhausts; liberated Calvados; drank wine and champagne; collected Lugers, banners and other trophies of war; and fought and died together in some of the most dramatic battles of the Second World War. The men of the 712th were ordinary people living through an extraordinary time. This is a story not so much about the tanks themselves as it is about the people who were in them such as Billy Wolfe who wrote in a high school essay that 'I may get specialised training from Uncle Sam that might be my life's work.' It was his life's work. One of his sisters said 'Two weeks after joining the battalion as a replacement, 18-year-old Billy burned to death inside a tank.' Others include Ed Forrest, whose grave in the American cemetery at Margraten was adopted by a middle school whose students place flowers on it and say a prayer during field trips, and Jim Flowers who survived the horrors on Hill 122.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first in a “quirky” cozy mystery series “full of magical fun,” featuring an enchanted garden in Scotland—“a delight from start to finish” (Juliet Blackwell, New York Times–bestselling author). Reeling from the loss of her fiancé and flower shop, Fiona Knox is surprised to find her new-found inheritance comes with magic, mystery, and murder. Florist Fiona Knox’s life isn’t smelling so sweet these days. Her fiancé left her for their cake decorator. Then, her flower shop wilted after a chain florist opened next door. So when her godfather, Ian MacCallister, leaves her a cottage in Scotland, Fiona jumps on the next plane to Edinburgh. Ian, after all, is the one who taught her to love flowers. But when Ian’s elderly caretaker Hamish MacGregor shows her to the cottage upon her arrival, she finds the once resplendent grounds of Duncreigan in a dreadful shambles—with a dead body in the garden. Minutes into her arrival, Fiona is already being questioned by the handsome Chief Inspector Neil Craig and getting her passport seized. But it’s Craig’s fixation on Uncle Ian’s loyal caretaker, Hamish, as a prime suspect, that really makes her worried. As Fiona strolls the town, she quickly realizes there are a whole bouquet of suspects much more likely to have killed Alastair Croft, the dead lawyer who seems to have had more enemies than friends. Now it’s up to Fiona to clear Hamish’s name before it’s too late in Flowers and Foul Play, USA Today bestselling author Amanda Flower’s spellbinding first Magic Garden mystery.

Download or read book Season of Flowers written by Felix Bongjoh and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-08-31 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Season of Flowers is the sixth book of poetry by the author, Felix Bongjoh. His five previous poetry collections are: (i ) Chorus on A Bridge; (ii) Broken Gloss of Bliss; (iii) When Dusk Hoots; (iv) Weeds of Jewelry; and (v) Nightfall at Dawn. His seventh book of poetry, The Ineluctable Spin will soon be published. In his sixth book, Season of Flowers, Bongjoh continues to focus on various aspects of the human experience across diverse circumstances, including from hypothetical reality. Interweaving art with style against a rich background of local color with flora and fauna often speaking for themselves, and through his own prism of human judgment and attitude, the poet makes ubiquitous use of flowers, especially in a metaphorical sense. His dramatic interplay of symbolism and wit enables him to invariably communicate gloomy and not-so-bright events and feelings in a positive, if not, optimistic light. His poems in this collection mirror life through a spectrum of social and psychological constructs, landmarks and ordinary incidents of a certain significance. In a lyricism reflective of the poets typical manner of expression, prototypical ideas are subtly but effectively communicated - quite often with a much needed sense of humor.
