Book excerpt: What's to Love: Justin Jordan exploded onto the comics scene just four short years ago with The Strange Talent of Luther Strode and caught everyone by surprise. Now he brings us John Flood, a series that combines the metaphysical with the procedural in a way we think is really fresh. Joining him is Jorge Coelho, whose fantastic work on Polarity and Sleepy Hollow made him a BOOM! favorite. Perfect for fans of Desolation Jones and Sherlock Holmes. What It Is: As the result of a government experiment, John Flood no longer needs to sleep, but now he's in a constant dream state and sometimes can't tell what's real and what isn't. But a side effect is that he sees patterns and makes connections no one else can, which serve him well in his new "career" as a make-shift PI. Together with a burly ex-cop, Flood begins to investigate when he "sees" one man responsible for thousands of unsolved murders, but now he himself has caught the killer's attention...

Download or read book The Flood 1 Escape from Atlantis written by John Clevenger and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prehistory's deepest secrets, at long last revealed... Flowing from Genesis Quest's groundbreaking global research, The Flood tells the wondrous but harrowing true story of Atlantis and the celestially caused disaster that laid it low. In The Flood 1: Escape from Atlantis, a beautiful but cheeky longhead Atlantean princess named Nena learns of impending global catastrophe. When her pleas to evacuate the island fall on deaf ears, she hatches an audacious plan to save civilization from the Flood. But then her Alban friend Nata is conscripted into Atlantis's vaunted military, inevitably to die in battle with savage man-eating giants or in the worldwide conflagration to follow. Will she face her deepest fear to save his life? In recreating lost chapters of human experience, this fantastic yet fact-based epic trilogy finally unveils the startling truth behind prehistory's deepest mysteries. Presented in Author's Asides dispersed throughout the storyline, our monumental scientific discoveries will shock the world. Learn the truth! Read the trilogy. Nonfictional sample, from Author's Aside #8: The unutterably horrific ramifications of this twofold theory concerning what happened to our planet during the multiphase disaster enshrined biblically as the Flood will dawn on you as this essentially true story plays out. For what has become clear to us, above all, is this:We do not live within a comforting Uniformitarian reality, an assumption that has undergirded most thinking in the natural sciences ever since Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology shaped these basic perceptions in 1830-33, despite what was even then a world of well-known contradictory evidence. Instead, we live in a Catastrophist reality, in which globally devastating events happen not just every several tens of millions of years, as posited by that theory, but rather every few thousand years. That is, such terrible occurrences not only can, but certainly will, happen again--and not necessarily in the distant future. And were a disaster like what's recreated in Books 2 and 3 to recur today, billions of people would die by tomorrow, and survivors would be left fighting for life in a new Stone Age. It is my firmly held conviction that the world needs to know this, if only so that we can collectively prepare for the next such event. Counterintuitively, the only way sufficiently to drive this point home, in making it "real" for millions of people worldwide, is by fictionally recreating these largely forgotten peoples and events not just in an epic novel, but also in a series of blockbuster 3D films. For it is only through vicariously living the journeys of its characters--including Nata and Nena, who were apparently real people--that audiences the world over can acquire the requisite frame of reference. In employing research-driven fiction to bring lost chapters of history so vividly to life, thereby revealing the latent but very real peril in which we all actually do live, with this work I may, in a sense, be forging a new genre of novelistic and filmic writing, one that transcends Science Fiction per se. Mindful that Jules Verne and H.G. Wells founded that proud genre through their cutting-edge late nineteenth-century novelistic forays into fantastic real-world subjects, the new one I may be said to be creating, in so intimately melding, in the early twenty-first century, these long-forgotten fantastic facts with fiction--in part by attempting to live my own fictional adventure, as told in my modern trilogy about finding Atlantis to follow this one, by forming a global research consortium dedicated to proving these things for real--might best be called Science Fact. Uncomfortably neologistical as this formulation might appear, it seems to me an apt appellation for what I and GQ are attempting to do.
Download or read book Representations of Eve in Antiquity and the English Middle Ages written by John Flood and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-12-14 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first woman, Eve was the pattern for all her daughters. The importance of readings of Eve for understanding how women were viewed at various times is a critical commonplace, but one which has been only narrowly investigated. This book systematically explores the different ways in which Eve was understood by Christians in antiquity and in the English Middle Ages, and it relates these understandings to female social roles. The result is an Eve more various than she is often depicted by scholars. Beginning with material from the bible, the Church Fathers and Jewish sources, the book goes on to look at a broad selection of medieval writing, including theological works and literary texts in Old and Middle English. In addition to dealing with famous authors such as Augustine, Aquinas, Dante and Chaucer, the writings of authors who are now less well-known, but who were influential in their time, are explored. The book allows readers to trace the continuities and discontinuities in the way Eve was portrayed over a millennium and a half, and as such it is of interest to those interested in women or the bible in the Middle Ages.

Download or read book The Global Lawyer written by K & CASTAN GALLOWAY (M & FLOOD, J.) and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary legal practice faces the paradox of both fragmentation and consolidation through the effects of globalisation of legal services, of clients, and arguably of the law itself. Increasingly, thanks to rapid developments in technology, non-lawyers also deliver legal services. At the convergence of these influences, lawyers increasingly work outside their `home¿ jurisdiction: travelling and working internationally, managing matters for international clients, or dealing with laws that bear an international context. They also face competition from law start-ups that are unconstrained by jurisdiction, and consequently lawyers¿ work includes interdisciplinary technology-related contexts. This innovative work represents a research-based approach to identifying legal practitioners¿ skill-sets necessary to deal successfully with the wide range of issues encountered in the delivery of legal services in the contemporary global environment. The research foundation of this work is presented within a clear structure designed to develop the intellectual and practical skills of law graduates and early career lawyers in particular, that are necessary to transition from a domestic legal practitioner to a lawyer equipped to practise in diverse global contexts. It challenges the reader through the use of targeted case studies, identifying the requisite knowledge, skills and attributes to promote ethical global citizenship and a professional, global outlook. Topics covered include cultural competence, diverse digital contexts of legal practice, notions of professionalism and ethics in the global context, and more.

Download or read book Flood written by John Withington and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-11-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the flood that remade the earth in the Old Testament to the 1931 China floods that killed almost four million people, from the broken levees in New Orleans to the almost yearly rising waters of rivers like the Mississippi, floods have many causes: rain, melting ice, storms, tsunamis, failures of dams and levees, acts of vengeful gods. They have been used as deliberate acts of war to cause thousands of casualties. Flooding kills far more people than any other natural disaster. In this cultural and natural history of floods, John Withington tells stories of the deadliest floods the world has seen while also exploring the role of the deluge in religion, mythology, literature, and art. Withington describes how aspects of floods—the power of nature, human drama, changed landscapes—have fascinated artists, novelists, and filmmakers. He examines the ancient, catastrophic flood that appears in many religions and cultures and considers how the symbol of the flood has become a key icon in world literatures and a component of the contemporary disaster movie. Withington also depicts how humans try to defend themselves against these merciless encroaching waters and discusses the increasing danger floods pose in a future beset by climate change. Filled with illustrations, Flood offers a fascinating overview of our relationship with one of humanity’s oldest and deadliest foes.

Download or read book Poets Laureate in the Holy Roman Empire written by John Flood and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-09-08 with total page 2800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Petrarch’s revival of the ancient practice of laureation in 1341 led to the laurel being conferred on poets throughout Europe in the later Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. Within the Holy Roman Empire, Maximilian I conferred the title of Imperial Poet Laureate especially frequently, and later it was bestowed with unbridled liberality by Counts Palatine and university rectors too. This handbook identifies more than 1300 poets laureated within the Empire and adjacent territories between 1355 and 1804, giving (wherever possible) a sketch of their lives, a list of their published works, and a note of relevant scholarly literature. The introduction and various indexes provide a detailed account of a now largely forgotten but once significant literary-sociological phenomenon and illuminate literary networks in the Early Modern period. A supplementary Volume 5 of Poets Laureate in the Holy Roman Empire. A Bio-bibliographical Handbook will be published in June 2019.
