Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Amazon is a place of breathtaking beauty, but also one of tremendous danger in which death can take many forms. Few, however, suspected that it would manifest itself in the form of a genetically engineered anaconda of extraordinary size with a ravenous appetite for the things that live on and beneath the river-especially human beings. Among the few scientists who know of the creature’s existence is world renowned cryptozoologist Paul Manhart who, along with his young but intrepid assistant, Sarah Underhill, are on a quest not only to prove the snake’s existence to Brazilian authorities, but persuade them to do something about it before it wreaks havoc among the larger population centers on the Amazon River. The only problem is that Paul Manhart didn’t expect to fall in love with his assistant, nor did he realize the tremendous price their eventual encounter with the beast will cost them, both personally and in blood. An exciting, action-packed fictional novel based on fact! Includes maps and illustrations, a great book to take on your next adventure!

Book excerpt: Something evil is prowling the vast forests of upper Vancouver Island, and it’s not human. A rogue sasquatch that has learned to enjoy hunting humans is on the loose and only one man, self-styled “bigfoot tracker” Jake Verity, knows about it and the danger it poses. Obsessed with killing the beast before it can find its next victim, Verity turns to the world’s foremost–and only–husband and wife team of cryptozoologists, Paul and Sarah Manhart, to help him find the creature and end its reign of terror once and for all. Unfortunately, none of them expect the monster to be as cunning and dangerous as it turns out to be, resulting in a struggle for survival that will pit Paul and Sarah against an abomination of nature more determined and more evil than anything they have ever encountered before. An exciting novel based on conjectured Sasquatch behavior!

Download or read book Contos Folcl ricos Africanos Vol 2 written by Elphinstone Dayrell and published by Literatura Livre – Sesc São Paulo. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A África é o berço da civilização e essa seleção de contos celebra sua cultura e influência, tão ricas e diversificadas quanto o próprio continente. Na África setentrional, as histórias de sultões e seres mágicos deixam entrever a influência moura; nas verdejantes florestas do Congo, sociedades de animais cuja inteligência sobrepuja à do ser humano; nas ilhas orientais, as alegorias morais das antigas civilizações tribais. Tudo faz parte do mítico caldeirão que alimenta a cultura brasileira há séculos. Contos folclóricos africanos reúne histórias coletadas por exploradores, governantes e missionários europeus, em sua maioria contadas diretamente pelos nativos cuja língua só passou a ser escrita recentemente. São narrativas transmitidas verbalmente, de geração em geração, por, provavelmente, milhares de anos. Os contos revelam o folclore, crenças e códigos de ética africanos. Curiosamente, essa mitologia pré-colonização encontra ecos em muitas outras ao redor do mundo. Animais falantes, por exemplo, são um recurso narrativo comum em contos populares de diversas sociedades. Esse conceito é apresentado em muitas literaturas tradicionais, como nas fábulas de Esopo, e em mitologias como a grega, a chinesa e a indiana. Outra característica típica das lendas africanas é a repetição. Os mesmos incidentes ocorrem a diversos indivíduos, ou o mesmo indivíduo se vê preso em uma sucessão de situações similares. Uma variação na conduta do personagem impede a monotonia e revela sua fraqueza ou estupidez, artifício ou traição. Quase todos esses contos se localizam em supostos tempos pré-históricos, quando animais e seres humanos conviviam em relações sociais na mesma comunidade. Os narradores, ao mesmo tempo em que preservam o enredo e os personagens originais, introduzem objetos conhecidos e familiares ao leitor. Essas inconsistências ilustram a crença de um povo a quem o impossível não constitui um obstáculo à fé; ao contrário, apenas aumenta o prazer da narrativa. Título original: The Folk Tales from Southern Nigeria (1910); Zanzibar Tales (1901); Where Animals Talk (1912)

This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A trilogia – O Mistério dos Senhores de Vênus: Os Deuses Que Vieram do Céu; A Pluralidade dos Mundos Habitados e a Evolução do Homem; Deuses, Venusianos e Capelinos é o resultado de vários anos de pesquisa de Jorge da Silva Bessa que se consagra como profundo estudioso das mitologias e crenças religiosas que marcaram a história da humanidade. Nas quase 500 páginas desta trilogia o autor procura mostrar que, ao longo de nossa história, sempre estivemos amparados e sendo instruídos por elevadíssimas consciências espirituais, conhecidas como deuses, “jardineiros siderais”, “anjos do Senhor” e extraterrestres, entre outras denominações, no seio de quasetodasasgrandescivilizaçõesdopassado. Os deuses do passado, hoje, estão cada vez mais presentes, pois jamais deixaram a humanidade à sua própria sorte. Eles são os mesmos sábios espíritos de outrora, encarregados da execução direta da evolução planetária, que agora intervêm, de forma mais direta para promover essa mudança que alguns chamam Nova Era,FimdoMundoouApocalipse.

Download or read book Dragon Soldiers written by J. Allan Danelek and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An old Tibetan monk has presented Paul and Sarah Manhart—the world’s only husband and wife cryptozoology team—an unusual gift: a claw from a pterosaur Paul identifies to have lived during the time of the dinosaurs. The problem is that the claw is less than sixty years old, enticing them to embark on a expedition to the “rooftop of the world” to see whether others of its kind still roam the rarified air of Tibet. Only they hadn’t bargained on getting caught up in a treacherous game of cat and mouse between the Chinese Army and winged creatures that are as vicious as they are terrifying. Forced to not only fend off creatures capable of killing with a single snap of their jaws but also the efforts of opportunistic Chinese Army officers intent on seeing them dead in an effort to cover up their own nefarious deeds. Fortunately, they find an unlikely ally in the guise of a surly and ruthless colonel named Deng, the only man capable of providing them their only chance at survival—if they aren’t already too late.

Download or read book Norte e Sul North and South written by Elizabeth Gaskell and published by Editora Landmark LTDA. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 1998 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NORTE E O SUL - North and South é um romance de Elizabeth Gaskell, publicado em forma de livro pela primeira vez em 1855, sendo que já havia sido publicado inicialmente na revista literária "Household Words", de propriedade de Charles Dickens, entre setembro de 1854 e janeiro de 1855 em 22 partes semanais. Conhecido inicialmente por "Margaret Hale", teve seu título alterado por pressão de seus editores para "North and South", demonstrando melhor o tema geral do livro: o contraste existente entre o modo de vida da Inglaterra industrializada do norte e da Inglaterra rural e inocente do sul, em uma época fortemente marcada pela revolução industrial do século 19. Quando publicado como livro em 1855, esta incluiu um prefácio afirmando que por causa das restrições do formato da revista, a autora foi incapaz de desenvolver a história como desejava e, deste modo, "várias passagens curtas foram inseridas, e vários novos capítulos adicionados". O livro é um romance social que tenta demonstrar a vida e os conflitos existentes no norte industrializado dos meados do século 19, através das impressões de uma jovem nascida nas regiões rurais da Inglaterra. A heroína da história, Margaret Hale, é filha de um ministro religioso que se muda para a cidade fictícia de Milton, cujo modelo era a cidade de Manchester, onde Elizabeth Gaskell morou em companhia de seu marido e trabalhou em ações filantrópicas junto aos pobres da cidade e conheceu de perto as misérias das áreas industriais. A mudança no estilo de vida choca Margaret que simpatiza profundamente com a pobreza e as dificuldades vividas pelos trabalhadores urbanos. Após um encontro com um grupo de grevistas, no qual Margaret tenta proteger Thornton da violência dos manifestantes, os dois se apaixonam, entretanto, uma série de conflitos e desencontros até o derradeiro reencontro, onde cada um dos personagens terá que rever seus preconceitos, chegando à madura aceitação de si mesmos e de seus sentimentos.
Download or read book Sanctuary Lost Portugal s Air War for Guinea 1961 1974 written by Matthew M Hurley and published by Helion and Company. This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on diverse interpretations of the Real Ceduls (Royal Proclamations) by the Spanish monarchs of earlier centuries, the almost 200-year-old border dispute between Ecuador and Peru became one of the longest-running international armed conflicts in the Western hemisphere. Numerous attempts at a negotiated definition of the borders failed, and the two countries fought at least three wars in the 20th Century. Drawing upon extensive research in the official archives of the Fuerza Aérea del Peru (FAP), and documentation from multiple private sources in Ecuador and Peru, The Air Wars between Ecuador and Peru, Volume 2 reconstructs the history of the air forces of both nations, and the little-known story of their brief, yet bitter clashes of early 1981. Thanks to the availability of precise details from both parties to the conflict, the volume avoids the usual, biased and one-sided coverage of the conflict, while providing intricate details of the military build-up, capabilities and intentions of both air forces involved, their training, planning, and the conduct of combat operations. Illustrated by more than 100 exclusive photographs, half a dozen maps and 15 authentic colour profiles, Air Wars between Ecuador and Peru, Volume 2 provides the first authoritative account of the air warfare between Ecuador and Peru in early 1981.
