Book excerpt: Veronica is eternally fifty-one years old with a proclivity for problematic drinking. Like most hormonally challenged women negotiating the change of life, she is a hot mess. To retain her sanity, she attends weekly AA meetings and adheres to a strict diet of organic, locally-sourced, (mostly) cruelty-free human blood from the hospice facility where she works. Her life stopped being fun about a hundred years ago, right about the time her teenage daughter stole her soul and took off for California with a hot, older guy. These days, Veronica’s existence is just that – an existence, as flat and empty as her own non-reflection in the bathroom mirror. When her estranged daughter contacts her via Facebook, Veronica learns that she has one chance to escape her eternal personal summer: she must find and apologize to every one of the people she’s turned into vampires in the last century. That is, if they’re still out there. With raging hormones and a ticking clock, Veronica embarks on a last-ditch road trip to regain her mortality, reclaim her humanity, and ultimately, die on her own terms.
Book Synopsis The Many Facets of Diamonds Are Forever by : Oliver Buckton
Download or read book The Many Facets of Diamonds Are Forever written by Oliver Buckton and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diamonds Are Forever—the fourth James Bond novel by Ian Fleming, published in 1956—is widely recognized as one of the most intriguing and original works in the 007 series. With its exciting settings including West Africa, Las Vegas, and the horse-racing center of Saratoga Springs, the novel explores the thrilling themes of diamond smuggling, gambling, gangsters, sex, and espionage. Moreover, the novel is unique in being set outside the conventional Cold War milieu of other Fleming novels, allowing readers to explore Fleming’s views of America without reference to its Cold War antagonist, the Soviet Union. This collection of essays is the first to explore Fleming’s novel in depth, as well as delve into the remarkable 1971 film adaptation directed by Guy Hamilton (who also directed Goldfinger), and starring Sean Connery in his final “official” appearance as 007. Updating Fleming’s novel for the post-1960s culture of sexual liberation and mass-market consumerism, Hamilton’s film departs from the novel by introducing Ernst Stavro Blofeld—the head of SPECTRE and James Bond’s nemesis—as the arch-villain. The ten original essays in this collection focus on diverse themes such as the central role of Tiffany Case—one of Fleming’s most memorable “Bond girls”—in novel and film; Fleming’s fascination with diamonds, reflected in this novels intertextual connections to the non-fiction book The Diamond Smugglers; the author’s ambivalent relationship with American culture; the literary style of Diamonds Are Forever, including its generic status as a “Hollywood novel”; and the role of homosexuality in the novel and film versions of Diamonds Are Forever. Bringing together established Bond scholars and new emerging critics, this collection offers unique insight into one of the most influential works of modern popular culture, casting new light on the many facets of Diamonds Are Forever.

Book excerpt: #1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs, a producer of the Fox hit show Bones, is back with her fifteenth "pulse-pounding" (Publishers Weekly) novel featuring North America's favorite forensic anthropologist, Tempe Brennan--a story of infanticide and murder set in the high stakes, high danger world of diamond mining. Beneath a diamond's perfect surface lies a story of violence and greed. Just like bones... In a run-down Montreal apartment, Tempe finds heartbreaking evidence of three innocent lives ended. The landlord says Alma Rogers lives there--is she the same woman who checked into a city hospital as Amy Roberts, then fled before doctors could treat her uncontrolled bleeding? Is she Alva Rodriguez, sought by a man who appeared at the crime scene? Heading up an investigation crackling with the sexual tension of past intimacies, Tempe leads homicide detective Andrew Ryan and police sergeant Ollie Hasty along the woman's trail and into the farthest reaches of mining country--where the grim industry of unearthing diamonds exacts a price in blood. And where the truths the unlikely trio uncovers are more sinister than they could have imagined.
Book Synopsis How to Live Forever by : Maurice S. Rawlings
Download or read book How to Live Forever written by Maurice S. Rawlings and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barring devastating accidents and disseminated cancer, man usually dies because of the failure of just one organ. Theoretically, through progressive replacement of failing organs, man could live forever and veritably spout the fountain of youth for the first time in history. However, a critical four-hour survival time between organ donor and recipient is a limiting factor for making organ replacement feasible. To start the fountain flowing, to offer transplantation on demand, and to anticipate over-flowing demands, would require one of the greatest discoveries of the decade-a simple means for organ preservation. Through meticulous research and happenstance, Dr. Frederick Middleton does indeed discover a unique freeze-dry formula to preserve organs without fracturing the cell walls, so invariably typical of any freezing or thawing process. But, as with all things good, a profiteering underworld soon corrupts the organ exchange business, garnering fortunes from trusting recipients who hopefully would give most anything they own for one just more fling at life. Within this milieu, this struggle for life, lies a stream of patients whose heart-rending stories question traditional concepts for dealing with the dying. UPDATED BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Maurice S.

Book Synopsis Until Forever by : Darlene Shortridge
Download or read book Until Forever written by Darlene Shortridge and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-25 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was something she would never forgive herself for... it wasn't until lunchtime that Jessi remembered to call home. No answer. She tried calling several times while she ate her lunch. Still no answer. She closed her eyes and rested her arms and head on her desk. She breathed deeply, wishing she had remembered to call earlier. Until Forever is a story of a young family that is torn apart by the devastating effects of alcoholism. Can healing take place in a relationship when an unforgivable act is committed? Will Jessi's pain and Mark's guilt keep them apart forever, or will unforeseen circumstances bind them together? 'Darlene is an extremely gifted and exciting new author. Her story of a family suffering and growing and changing manages to leap beyond the clichés of the genre and stand as an original work.' -Cliff Graham, Author of Day of War 'Until Forever delves into the difficult realms of reconciliation, redemption, and forgiveness. Shortridge illustrates a story that is at times poignant and compelling. I found myself vicariously experiencing Jessi and Mark's tragic loss and desperately wanted them to be fully healed and restored. If you battle with the perception that you are unconditionally loved and forgiven by God, this novel is for you.' -Jeral Davis, Author of Tomorrow

Download or read book Fluent Forever written by Gabriel Wyner and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2014-08-05 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • For anyone who wants to learn a foreign language, this is the method that will finally make the words stick. “A brilliant and thoroughly modern guide to learning new languages.”—Gary Marcus, cognitive psychologist and author of the New York Times bestseller Guitar Zero At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He didn’t learn them in school—who does? Rather, he learned them in the past few years, working on his own and practicing on the subway, using simple techniques and free online resources—and here he wants to show others what he’s discovered. Starting with pronunciation, you’ll learn how to rewire your ears and turn foreign sounds into familiar sounds. You’ll retrain your tongue to produce those sounds accurately, using tricks from opera singers and actors. Next, you’ll begin to tackle words, and connect sounds and spellings to imagery rather than translations, which will enable you to think in a foreign language. And with the help of sophisticated spaced-repetition techniques, you’ll be able to memorize hundreds of words a month in minutes every day. This is brain hacking at its most exciting, taking what we know about neuroscience and linguistics and using it to create the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn a foreign language in the spare minutes of your day.

Download or read book Gunboats Forever written by Bruce Holdt and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-08-14 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I made the decision to write this book, based on the encouragement of my children. Often, when we would get together, they would ask me to tell them about some incident that happened to me when I was in the navy. I would tell the story, and they would say that I should write a book about adventures at sea. I am writing this book after having a liver transplant. Before I had the transplant, I had been sick with severe liver disease, for five years, almost dying twice. A week before my transplant, I had a compression fracture of one of my discs in my back. I was standing, talking to a nurse when all of the sudden the disc fractured. I was in such pain that I had to lie down. The only way that I am not in any pain is when I am in the hospital and get a shot of morphine. At home, I get some relief form oxycodone, but it never lasts long enough. Today, I am writing this with a considerable amount of pain. Writing seems to take my mind off the pain. All of the events in this book occurred during the year of 1976. My family consisted of me, Bruce Edward Holdt. I was thirty-three years old. My wife, Karen Wallin Holdt, was thirty-four; my oldest daughter, Marnie Esther Holdt, was ten years old; my son, Theodore Charles Holdt, was six years old; and my youngest daughter, Melissa “Missy” Holdt, was five years old. I was born in a small town in northern Minnesota called Clitherall. It got its name from my mother’s Mormon ancestors who came to northern Minnesota to teach the Indians English. This group of Mormons broke off from the Mormons in Illinois who followed Brigham Young to Utah. The biggest difference between the Mormons who continued on with Brigham Young and the splinter group was that these followers of a man named Cutler did not believe in or allow polygamy. My ancestors were called Cutlerittes. Cutler died on the way to Minnesota, and the group was then led by my great-great-grandfather Sylvester Whiting and his brothers Chauncey and Isaac. One day, while looking for the place, it was ordained that they settle and start a community. Sylvester and Isaac stopped in a grove of trees and noticed a bark flap on one of the trees that had partially grown back. Sylvester pried the bark back and noticed the name Clitherall carved on the tree. The Mormons all took this as sign from God and named the lake and the settlement they started there Clitherall. Later, they found out that Clitherall was the name of a U.S. Army captain who lived in Minneapolis. Clitherall had written his name on the piece of bark to show he had surveyed the area. My father’s ancestry is much simpler. My great-grandfather Torger Olsen Holdt was born in Haagland, Norway, on April 5, 1835. He lived there until the age of sixteen. He then immigrated to America, settling in Claremont, Iowa. He married Bertha Holdt and took her name. Torger and Bertha drove a mule team with a wagon with all their earthly goods from Iowa to Minnesota in the fall of 1871. Torger had a son named Olavas, who is my grandfather. In 1922, my father, Bertram T. Holdt, was born. He married my mother, Lorraine Gleesing, and had two sons—me and my younger brother, Verne. When we lived in Clitherall, it had a population of only fifty people. Nearby was the small lake called Clitherall. One of my earliest memories was being taught how to swim there by my father. I quickly learned to swim and was most happy when I was in the water. We lived about three hundred yards from the lake. My brother, who was a year younger than I, and I would walk to the lake every day that it was warm enough to swim, which was usually May through September. Growing up in a small town in Minnesota, with an alcoholic father and a mother who worked every day, was tough. My mother expected me to take care of my younger brother, cooking all of our meals when she was working. This experience made me self-reliant, self-assured, and a good student in every form of education I experie

Book Synopsis Should We Live Forever? by : Gilbert Meilaender
Download or read book Should We Live Forever? written by Gilbert Meilaender and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-14 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Should We Live Forever? Christian ethicist Gilbert Meilaender puzzles over the implications of the medical advances that have lengthened the human life span, wrestling with what this quest for living longer means for our conception of living well and completely. As he points out in his introduction, "That we often desire, even greedily desire, longer life is clear; whether what we desire is truly desirable is harder to say." The six chapters of this book take multiple perspectives on issues surrounding aging and invite readers to consider whether "indefinitely more life" is something worth pursuing and, if humans are created for life with God, whether longer life will truly satisfy our underlying hunger.
