This book was released on 2022-11-28 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A flip of a switch, a blink of an eye… death can come that quickly. As mortals, we all wish for that to be our case, blissfully devoid of our own suffering or the suffering of others who will painfully watch our final days. Death by electrocution is usually quick, but not necessarily painless. The muscles of the body contract in wracking spasms and control of bodily functions is lost. The smell of singed flesh and burning hair permeate the room – certainly unpleasant for those the deceased left behind. In the United States, the process of electrification took several decades. Its proponents believed it was imminently safer and more reliable than oil lanterns and gaslights. Its opponents questioned its safety, and newspaper accounts were rife with stories of accidental electrocutions as well as intentional executions. Archibald “Sparky” Thompson was involved in electrifying homes and businesses across broad swaths of Pennsylvania and Maryland. At one time, he worked for Thomas Edison, but was dismissed after a series of pranks backfired. Venturing out on his own, death seemed to follow his work from city to city. Was Sparky responsible, or was he an unwitting accomplice to someone else’s evil deeds?

I’m one of the most boring, average girls you could ever meet. So, why would the government want me? And why do I feel a magnetic pull I can’t explain to someone... or something... I’ve never met before? REMUS’S REVELATION When I’m sucked into their bright light while at a study group, I’m shocked that they’re abducting me from a room with other people—why can I suddenly remember not only this visit but dozens more? And who is this strange, new alien claiming I’m his mate? SELAS’S SALVATION When I’m abducted by aliens at a study group with friends, I’m told if I give up my family and life on Earth, I can have the life I want. But it also comes with a little catch that definitely sounds… interesting. Is there really someone out there that’s perfect for me? ATTICUS’S ANGEL My entire life is controlled by my mother and the genetic disease I was born with that robs me of so much, including the ability to have a baby. As if the special schools and special classes weren’t enough, now my mother is considering a special home!

Download or read book Genealogy and Fiction in Hardy written by T. O ́Toole and published by Springer. This book was released on 1997-08-18 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tess O'Toole uncovers Hardy's career-long fascination with the points of intersection between genealogy and fiction and argues that this relationship fuels much of his writing. Hereditary patterns are the product of narrative compulsion; the circulation of the family story is necessary to reproduce the history it records. As well as analyzing Hardy's characteristic treatment of family history, this volume revises existing accounts of genealogical narrative, and in its conclusion considers the presence in other nineteenth- and twentieth-century novels of motifs foregrounded in Hardy's work.

Book excerpt: An addictive fantasy romance from TikTok sensation Piper CJ, now newly revised and edited. Two orphans grow into powerful young women as they face countless threats to find their way back to each other. Farleigh is just an orphanage. At least, that's what the church would have the people believe, but beautiful orphans Nox and fae-touched Amaris know better. They are commodities for sale, available for purchase by the highest bidder. So when the madame of a notorious brothel in a far-off city offers a king's ransom to purchase Amaris, Nox ends up taking her place — while Amaris is drawn away to the mountains, home of mysterious assassins. Even as they take up new lives and identities, Nox and Amaris never forget one thing: they will stop at nothing to reunite. But the threat of war looms overhead, and the two are inevitably swept into a conflict between human and fae, magic and mundane. With strange new alliances, untested powers, and a bond that neither time nor distance could possibly break, the fate of the realms lies in the hands of two orphans — and the love they hold for each other.

Locke and company remain among the most engaging protagonists in fantasy.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) ONE OF PASTE’S BEST FANTASY BOOKS OF THE DECADE With the greatest heist of their career gone spectacularly sour, con artist extraordinaire Locke Lamora and his trusted partner, Jean, have barely escaped with their lives. Or at least Jean has. Locke is slowly succumbing to a lethal poison that no alchemist can cure. With the end nearing, Locke’s only hope is to accept a mysterious Bondsmage’s offer: act as a political pawn in the Magi elections, and in exchange be healed. But the lifesaving sorcery promises to rival even the most excruciating death, and Locke refuses. Until the Bondsmage invokes the name of Sabetha, the love of Locke’s life, his equal in skill and wit . . . and now his greatest rival. From his first glimpse of Sabetha as a fellow orphan and thief-in-training, Locke was smitten. But after a tumultuous courtship, she broke away. Now they will reunite in another clash of wills. Faced with his only equal in both love and trickery, Locke must choose whether to fight Sabetha—or woo her. It is a decision on which both of their lives may depend.

Each was faced with extraordinary―even scandalous―challenges. But they had courage. They lived daring lives. Sometimes they made mistakes―big mistakes.

Tamar risked her life and reputation to be the woman she was called to be. See how the Lord uses our circumstances and our steps toward Him, however faltering, to fulfill His plan. Rahab was exploited by men who saw only her beauty, yet she held fast to her faith in God and was rewarded. Discover how God seeks and finds those whose hearts are tender toward Him, no matter how far away they are. Ruth’s loyalty, especially toward her mother-in-law Naomi, helped her persevere in the face of tragedy, and God gave her a second chance at love. Be encouraged that God will provide even when all hope seems lost. Bathsheba’s scandalous affair with David did not end in one night. Learn that God is willing to restore and redeem those lost in the depths of despair who call out to Him. Mary is one of the most revered women in history. But first, she was an ordinary woman striving to please God in the same way women still do today. When God spoke, Mary responded in obedience which changed the world forever. Each novella includes an in-depth Bible study perfect for personal reflection or group discussion. Watch these five women in the Bible come to life and learn from their examples of hope, faith, love, and obedience.

Download or read book The Novel and the Problem of New Life written by Aaron Matz and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel since the nineteenth century has displayed a thorny ambivalence toward the question of having children. In its representation of human vitality it can seem to promote the giving of life, but again and again it betrays a nagging doubt about the moral implications of procreation. The Novel and the Problem of New Life identifies this tension as a defining quality of the modern British and European novel. Beginning with the procreative-skeptical writings of Flaubert, Butler, and Hardy, then turning to the high modernist work of Lawrence, Woolf, and Huxley, and culminating in the postwar fiction of Lessing and others, this book chronicles the history of the novel as it came to accommodate greater misgivings about the morality of reproduction. This is the first study to examine in literature a problem that has long troubled philosophers, environmental thinkers, and so many people in everyday life.

Download or read book Between Genealogy and Epistemology written by Todd May and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 1993-03-26 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michel Foucault introduced a new form of political thinking and discourse. Rather than seeking to understand the grand unities of state, economy, or exploitation, he tried to discover the micropolitical workings of everyday life that have often founded the greater unities. He was particularly concerned with how we understand ourselves psychologically, and thus with how psychological knowledge developed and came to be accepted as true. In the course of his writings, he developed a genealogy of psychology, an account of psychology as a historically developed practice of power. The problem such an account raises for much of traditional philosophy is that Foucault's critique of psychological concepts is ultimately a critique of the idea of the mind as a politically neutral ontological concept. As such, it renders politically suspect all forms of subjective foundationalism, and the epistemological justification for Foucault's own writings is then called into question. Drawing on the writings of such Anglo-American philosophers as Wilfrid Sellars and Ludwig Wittgenstein, Todd May refutes the idea that Foucault's critiques of knowledge, and especially psychological knowledge, undermine themselves.

This book was released on 2020-04-04 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books 13-15: The New Rulebook & Pete Zendel Christian Suspense series. Book 13: HUNTED John Martinez had seen firsthand how dangerous to human life guns were when he was kidnapped and forced to live in captivity with guns held over his head. Working with the cops to assist with the rescue of others behind captivity, he hated guns. Now a free man and forced to flee his sister's home when danger follows his younger brother home, John did not expect their temporary shelter—the home of his sister's friend, Liberty—to be that of a gun lover. Trying to keep his brother safe, will he lose his heart to a woman who loves guns just as much as she loves him? Famous actress Liberty Stone was one woman nobody messed with. Rich, classy, beautiful, and confident, she was armed and knew how to protect herself when the need arose, thanks to multiple assaults she'd survived—assaults that turned her into a cold and unfeeling person, to protect her heart. When her friend, SSPD Officer Angel Martinez, requested temporary shelter at her Fortitude Homes Estate for her brothers amid a police case, Liberty readily obliged. What Liberty hadn't expected was a chance run-in with John, falling in love with a gun-hater with a tender heart, and an unplanned kiss leading John right into her locked-up heart. Together, will they find healing from pain and discover that God gives second chances and connects people in His time, in His way, and to fulfill His purpose—despite long-held prejudices? Book 14: COURAGEOUS SSPD detective Ladi Zoe was sure the dangerous mission to uncover the identity of the Hunter would be the end of her. Living under the constant fear of being outed, while performing duties that made serious criminal behavior seem elementary, she survived purely on the hope that her mission will be successful—and she will find out who the Hunter was. However, when she is assigned to a deadly mission which threatened the life of the man she'd secretly fallen in love with—Hughes Martinez, Officer Angel Martinez's baby brother whom she'd rescued—she is faced with the choice to save his life yet again and risk her own in addition to being unmasked. Will she choose to stay undercover and let him die to get the Hunter or will she accept for her cover to be blown, risk her own life all to save the life of the man she loved—who didn't know she loved him? Book 15: DEFENDED Hunted by dangerous elements, and barely escaping with her life, undercover police officer Ladi Zoe vanishes without a trace. With her whereabouts untraceable, she left behind a trail of evidence for dismantling a dangerous network of criminals, and the love of her life brokenhearted. But, her heroic actions only seemed to have stirred the hornets nest. Now, the bad guys want the SSPD destroyed.
