Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A strong . . . trilogy, invoking just a little Harry Potter and Series of Unfortunate Events along the way."—Realms of Fantasy Siblings Kate, Michael, and Emma have been in one orphanage after another for the last ten years, passed along like lost baggage. Yet these unwanted children are more remarkable than they could possibly imagine. Ripped from their parents as babies, they are being protected from a horrible evil of devastating power, an evil they know nothing about. Until now. Before long, Kate, Michael, and Emma are on a journey through time to dangerous and secret corners of the world . . . a journey of allies and enemies, of magic and mayhem. And—if an ancient prophesy is true—what they do can change history, and it's up to them to set things right. "A new Narnia for the tween set."—The New York Times "[A] fast-paced, fully imagined fantasy."—Publishers Weekly "Echoes of other popular fantasy series, from "Harry Potter" to the "Narnia" books, are easily found, but debut author Stephens has created a new and appealing read . . ."—School Library Journal, Starred Review

Download or read book The Mighty Atlas His Clown Brigade written by Mike Goyette and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2024-07-16 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atlas, Matheo and Enzo are three misguided and confused Leftist college students and self-described social justice warriors. The trio attends a mostly peaceful protest in Grand Rapids, Michigan, intending a day of rioting and looting to fight the oppressors and ensure the climate never changes. On their way, the three run into two fellow students who refuse to comply with Atlas’ order to reject their whiteness and instead, openly mock them, calling them clowns. The mean name calling, as well as some gun shots in the distance, bring an abrupt halt to their world-saving riot... mostly peaceful protest... The trio is later visited by two undercover FBI agents posing as patriots who try to convince them to engage in a plot to kidnap the Governor. Behind this plot to create a crime that wouldn’t exist without the FBI’s help, hides the corrupt Peter Smirkovich (FBI Assistant to the Assistant of the Assistant Director) and his financial master, the power-hungry Klaus. Helped by an FBI whistleblower, Atlas, Matheo and Enzo begin to see the error of their Leftist ways and take the fight to those who would destroy America. But are they strong enough to fight back against the dark forces gathering against them? Join America’s most unlikely heroes as they journey toward the light of patriotic redemption.

Download or read book Smithsonian Atlas of Space Exploration written by Roger D. Launius and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the history of space exploration, there have been many leaps for humankind. From the foremost experts at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, here is a complete visual narrative of our journey from Earth to the stars. . . . Although the momentous October 4, 1957, launch of Sputnik 1 was not the beginning of humanity's adventure toward space—our curiosity about the skies has been one of the few constants in history—it was the first true venture into orbit. And when future generations think of the twentieth century, they will undoubtedly judge our movement into space, with both machines and people, as a crowning achievement. As we progress in the new millennium, space exploration is vital to managing our global future, as well as to understanding our past and the creation of Earth. The Atlas of Space Exploration depicts the ever-fascinating history of the space age and humanity's progress in exploring new frontiers. Incredible images from NASA and other sources, visual conceptions of Moon bases, and newly commissioned maps reveal a visual history spanning the earliest eras of the universe, the dawn of the space age, the launch of Sputnik, missions to the Moon, robot landings on the terrestrial planets, and the exploration of the outer solar system. These developments in technology are illuminated by a rich historical context, highlighting how space exploration has changed and expanded our vision of the universe.

Download or read book Cloud Atlas 20th Anniversary Edition written by David Mitchell and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2010-07-16 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A timeless, structure-bending classic that explores how actions of individual lives impact the past, present and future—from a postmodern visionary and one of the leading voices in fiction Featuring a new afterword by David Mitchell and a new introduction by Gabrielle Zevin, author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow One of the New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century • Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize Cloud Atlas begins in 1850 with Adam Ewing, an American notary voyaging from the Chatham Isles to his home in California. Ewing is befriended by a physician, Dr. Goose, who begins to treat him for a rare species of brain parasite. The novel careens, with dazzling virtuosity, to Belgium in 1931, to the West Coast in the 1970s, to an inglorious present-day England, to a Korean superstate of the near future where neocapitalism has run amok, and, finally, to a postapocalyptic Iron Age Hawaii in the last days of history. But the story doesn’t end even there. The novel boomerangs back through centuries and space, returning by the same route, in reverse, to its starting point. Along the way, David Mitchell reveals how his disparate characters connect, how their fates intertwine, and how their souls drift across time like clouds across the sky. As wild as a video game, as mysterious as a Zen koan, Cloud Atlas is an unforgettable tour de force that, like its incomparable author, has transcended its cult classic status to become a worldwide phenomenon.

Download or read book Psychological Roots of the Climate Crisis written by Sally Weintrobe and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychological Roots of the Climate Crisis tells the story of a fundamental fight between a caring and an uncaring imagination. It helps us to recognise the uncaring imagination in politics, in culture - for example in the writings of Ayn Rand - and also in ourselves. Sally Weintrobe argues that achieving the shift to greater care requires us to stop colluding with Exceptionalism, the rigid psychological mindset largely responsible for the climate crisis. People in this mindset believe that they are entitled to have the lion's share and that they can 'rearrange' reality with magical omnipotent thinking whenever reality limits these felt entitlements. While this book's subject is grim, its tone is reflective, ironic, light and at times humorous. It is free of jargon, and full of examples from history, culture, literature, poetry, everyday life and the author's experience as a psychoanalyst, and a professional life that has been dedicated to helping people to face difficult truths.

Nothing more than dust. The Coalesce Academy is no ordinary boarding school. Four different classes of magical beings live within its walls, all trying to survive their education without getting expelled, stripped of their magic or banished from the magical world. This isn’t enough to stop Aerwyna Phipps and Atlas Hale from sending secret letters or meeting up in the common room after dark. A faerie and a vampire. Will the risk be worth it? What readers are saying about The Coalesce Academy: ★★★★★ "Fantastic Series!" ★★★★★ "Great read!" ★★★★★ "Fast paced with a WOW ending!" ★★★★★ "Love a good academy read." ★★★★★ "This prequel is a beautiful companion to the Coalesce Academy." ★★★★★ "Forbidden Child is probably the most beautiful opening to a fully realized world that I could not put down." ★★★★★ "I am in absolute awe of Harriet James and how she has managed to create such a vivid world in just a short amount of pages. This book had me hooked from the very beginning and each page left me wanting more." ★★★★★ "I screamed. I have no shame in admitting that I screamed when I read the first chapter of this book." ★★★★★ "Forgotten Blood is the final book in The Coalesce Academy series and what a page-turner this epic conclusion is. I have enjoyed watching Asterin forge her own path and finally accept who she truly is. I loved how this series ended and in my opinion it was absolutely perfect. A huge kudos to Harriet for creating such an amazing series that I definitely won’t be forgetting any time soon. I can’t wait to see what this author does next."
