Download or read book Carsi the Refugee Planet written by Hassen Dichari and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carsi: The Refugee Planet is the fi rst of the Carsian Trilogy by Hassen Dichari. The book will be based off of five major concepts; I have accumulated for seven years until completing in 2011 when I was 21 years old. Christianity, Lords the Rings book series, accomplishments of England and Spain, and my own personal battle with my eating disorder I briefl y went through in 2004- 2005, when this book fi rst came into surface in my mind, and Ufos that they are not extraterrestrials but Demons fl ying around in vehicles of deception and lies. There are fi ve races of creatures that live in Galaxy Dichri called the Gatekeepers, Glushers, Fisheon, Humans and Gulpers. The Gatekeepers speak Felish, Fisheon speak Fishi, Gulpers speak Gulpish, Glushers speak Glushi, and the Humans speak Human. According to Earths terms, Felish is similar to Spanish, Fishi to Arabic, Gulpish to Chinese, Glushi to Russian, and Human to Swahili. The books will be based off of many accomplishments, organizations and beliefs that exist on planet Earth today and over the past 2,000 years. Most of the books in the trilogy will be based on religion, with the Gatish race (called Gatekeepers) being the savior of the creatures of Galaxy Dichri. Sakim is the head fallen Gatekeeper and his followers, other fallen Gatekeepers, are called Mikplutons. Originally named Lucius, Sakim was the Emperor of Carsi 2,000 years ago. He was cast out of Carsi by the Creator itself, along with a third of the Gatish population for leaving the one and only faith of the Gatekeepers Moral Order. Since then, he has been preparing to release the ultimate lie to the four races of Galaxy Dichri (Glushers, Humans, Fisheon and Gulpers). The time has fi nally come for Sakim to return in physical form to deceive, devour and destroy Human, Fisheon, Glusher and Gulper lives and souls with the ultimate lie. The Creator so loves the Galaxy that it does not wish for its creation to suffer like this. So, from the beginning of time, a race of divine kind was created to spread the word of Moral Order after Lucius and a third of the Gatish population of Gatekeepers were cast out of Carsi. When the word of Moral Order would be heard in every country in Gateiniya and Sogyoni, there would be more evil than ever before. To bring an end to it, the Creator would give permission to Sakim to return in physical form. At the same time the Creator would allow the crucifi xion of the Gatekeepers to begin so that the other four races would one day live on Carsi, the Refugee Planet, after this historic event, instead of living in eternal damnation with Sakim on his spacecraft of doom.

Download or read book Republic of Apples Democracy of Oranges written by Frank Stewart and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Republic of Apples, Democracy of Oranges presents nearly 100 poets and translators from China and the U.S.—the two countries most responsible for global carbon dioxide emissions and the primary contributors to extreme climate change. These poetic voices express the altered relationship that now exists between the human and non-human worlds, a situation in which we witness everyday the ways environmental destruction is harming our emotions and imaginations. “What can poetry say about our place in the natural world today?” ecologically minded poets ask. “How do we express this new reality in art or sing about it in poetry?” And, as poet Forrest Gander wonders, “how might syntax, line break, or the shape of the poem on the page express an ecological ethics?” Eco-poetry freely searches for possible answers. Sichuan poet Sun Wenbo writes: ... I feel so liberated I start writing about the republic of apples and democracy of oranges. When I see apples have not become tanks, oranges not bombs, I know I've not become a slave of words after all. The Chinese poets are from throughout the PRC and Taiwan, both minority and majority writers, from big cities and rural provinces, such as Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture and Xinjiang Uyghur, Tibet, and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Regions. The American poets are both emerging and established, from towns and cities across the U.S. Included are images by celebrated photographer Linda Butler documenting the Three Gorges Dam, on the Yangtze River, and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, on the Mississippi River Basin.

"Then I wake up completely and remember I am the Pope."

Download or read book The Deep written by Nick Cutter and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-01-13 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of The Troop—a book that is “utterly terrifying” (Clive Barker). “Fans of unflinching bleakness and all-out horror will love this novel….Each new shock is freshly disturbing” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). A strange plague called the ‘Gets is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget—small things at first, like where they left their keys, then the not-so-small things, like how to drive or the letters of the alphabet. Their bodies forget how to function involuntarily. There is no cure. But far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, a universal healer hailed as “ambrosia” has been discovered. In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab has been built eight miles under the sea’s surface. But when the station goes incommunicado, a brave few descend through the lightless fathoms in hopes of unraveling the mysteries lurking at those crushing depths…and perhaps to encounter an evil blacker than anything one could possibly imagine.

Download or read book Jungle of the Maya written by Douglas Goodell and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Selva Maya (Jungle of the Maya) is one of the world's most magical yet least appreciated places—an enormous tropical forest that encompasses much of Belize, Guatemala, and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. At 9,000,000 acres, it is the largest contiguous tropical forest north of the Amazon in the Western Hemisphere. Within its borders, the Selva Maya provides habitat for an astonishing diversity of plants and animals—more than 500 species of birds alone. The forest also contains the fascinating ruins of ancient Maya cities, which attract visitors and researchers from all over the globe. Jungle of the Maya presents a stunning photographic portrait of this irreplaceable natural treasure. Nature photographers Douglas Goodell and Jerry Barrack capture the living wonders of the jungle—jaguars and other cats; spider and howler monkeys; hummingbirds and butterflies; and snakes, amphibians, and insects—as well as the region's hallmark Maya sites, including Tikal, Chichen Itza, Uxmal, and Tulum. Environmental writer Jim Wright invitingly describes the Selva Maya's natural and human history, helping visitors and residents appreciate the riches to be found in the forest and the need to protect and preserve them for generations to come. Because human activities are encroaching more and more on the Mayan forest, Jungle of the Maya is a beautiful book with a timely message. As renowned naturalist Archie Carr III sums it up in his foreword, "Today, the Selva Maya is at risk again. As modern beings, can we manage the forest better than we believe the ancient Maya did? We should. We have the archaeological record to draw from. We have modern science. And we still have inspiration whispered to us by spirits in the great plazas of Tikal and beyond. Turn the pages, and witness."
