Book excerpt: Bestselling author Julianna Baggott presents the second volume in her new post-apocalyptic, dystopian thriller trilogy. We want our son returned. This girl is proof that we can save you all. If you ignore our plea, we will kill our hostages one at a time. To be a Pure is to be perfect, untouched by Detonations that scarred the earth, and sheltered inside the paradise that is the Dome. But Partridge escaped to the outside world, where Wretches struggle to survive amid smoke and ash. Now, at the command of Partridge's father, the Dome is unleashing nightmare after nightmare upon the Wretches in an effort to get him back. At Partridge's side is a small band of those united against the Dome: Lyda, the warrior; Bradwell, the revolutionary; El Capitan, the guard; and Pressia, the young woman whose mysterious past ties her to Partridge in ways she never could have imagined. Long ago a plan was hatched that could mean the earth's ultimate doom. Now only Partridge and Pressia can set things right. To save millions of innocent lives, Partridge must risk his own by returning to the Dome and facing his most terrifying challenge. And Pressia, armed only with a mysterious Black Box containing a set of cryptic clues, must travel to the very ends of the earth, to a place where no map can guide her. If they succeed, the world will be saved. But should they fail, humankind will pay a terrible price . . .
Download or read book Fuse written by Hollay Ghadery and published by MiroLand. This book was released on 2021-05 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on her own experiences as a woman of Iranian and British Isle descent, writer Hollay Ghadery dives into conflicts and uncertainty surrounding the bi-racial female body and identity, especially as it butts up against the disparate expectations of each culture. Painfully and at times, reluctantly, Fuse probes and explores the documented prevalence of mental health issues in bi-racial women. Fuse has elements of memoir, but does not follow a traditional linear narrative. Rather, the book is a series of 13 meditations that probe different parts of Hollay's fractured biracial experience. Eating and anxiety disorders, self-mutilation, sex, motherhood and the simultaneous allure and rejection of aesthetic beauty, in Fuse, Hollay speaks to the struggle to construct a fluid identity in a world that wants to peg you down: what you are, and are not. While Hollay's experiences are personal, the issues surrounding the bi-racial identity are wide-spread, the number of interracial marriages is increasing every year. A dialogue on the tensions surrounding the female bi-racial mind and body is long overdue.
Book Synopsis Cutting the Fuse by : Robert A. Pape
Download or read book Cutting the Fuse written by Robert A. Pape and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-10-07 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cutting the Fuse offers a wealth of new knowledge about the origins of suicide terrorism and strategies to stop it. Robert A. Pape and James K. Feldman have examined every suicide terrorist attack worldwide from 1980 to 2009, and the insights they have gleaned from that data fundamentally challenge how we understand the root causes of terrorist campaigns today—and reveal why the War on Terror has been ultimately counterproductive. Through a close analysis of suicide campaigns by Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, Israel, Chechnya, and Sri Lanka, the authors provide powerful new evidence that, contrary to popular and dangerously mistaken belief, only a tiny minority of these attacks are motivated solely by religion. Instead, the root cause is foreign military occupation, which triggers secular and religious people alike to carry out suicide attacks.Cutting the Fuse calls for new, effective solutions that America and its allies can sustain for decades, relying less on ground troops in Muslim countries and more on offshore, over-the-horizon military forces along with political and economic strategies that empower local communities to stop terrorists in their midst.
Book Synopsis Tomoko Fuse's Origami Art by : Tomoko Fuse
Download or read book Tomoko Fuse's Origami Art written by Tomoko Fuse and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-19 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tomoko Fuse has been one of the world's premier origami artists for more than 35 years. This beautifully photographed book examines the three-dimensional geometric designs she is famous for. Fuse, often referred to as "the queen of origami," discovered the art of folding paper at just seven years old. She has come a long way since then, having had her work highlighted in exhibitions around the world, including Paris Origami (Carrousel du Louvre, 1998), On Paper (Crafts Council London, 2002) and her solo show Yorokobi (Bauhaus Dessau, 2004). In addition to teaching, folding and writing, she also collaborated with designer Denis Guidone for Milan Design Week 2018 and was a featured artist in Nova's episode "The Origami Revolution" (February, 2017). An artistic anthology of her most impressive work, Tomoko Fuse's Origami Art can serve multiple purposes: as inspiration for an experienced origami folder; as a truly impressive coffee table book for the artistically-minded; or as a push for intermediate folders to try their hand at modular origami models.
Book Synopsis The Book of Mischief by : Steve Stern
Download or read book The Book of Mischief written by Steve Stern and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2012-09-04 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the 25 years since [Stern] published his first book, younger Jewish writers have run with a similar shtick . . . But Stern was there first." —The Toronto Globe and Mail The Book of Mischief triumphantly showcases twenty-five years of outstanding work by one of our true masters of the short story. Steve Stern's stories take us from the unlikely old Jewish quarter of the Pinch in Memphis to a turn-of-thecentury immigrant community in New York; from the market towns of Eastern Europe to a down-at-the-heels Catskills resort. Along the way we meet a motley assortment of characters: Mendy Dreyfus, whose bungee jump goes uncannily awry; Elijah the prophet turned voyeur; and the misfit Zelik Rifkin, who discovers the tree of dreams. Perhaps it's no surprise that Kafka's cockroach also makes an appearance in these pages, animated as they are by instances of bewildering transformation. The earthbound take flight, the meek turn incendiary, the powerless find unwonted fame. Weaving his particular brand of mischief from the wondrous and the macabre, Stern transforms us all through the power of his brilliant imagination.

Download or read book Fiber Fuse written by Shin-ichi Todoroki and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the fiber fuse phenomenon that causes a serious problem for the present optical communication systems. High-power light often brings about catastrophic damage to optical devices. Silica glass optical fibers with ultralow transmission loss are not the exception. A fiber fuse appears in a heated region of the fiber cable delivering a few watts of light and runs toward the light source destroying its core region. Understanding this phenomenon is a necessary first step in the development of future optical communication systems. This book provides supplementary videos and photographs to help understand what occurs in the fiber, including the classification of its propagation mode and self-pumping effect. These findings are good references for other optical devices exposed to ultrahigh-power light such as laser emitters.
Book Synopsis 12 Seconds of Silence by : Jamie Holmes
Download or read book 12 Seconds of Silence written by Jamie Holmes and published by Mariner Books. This book was released on 2020 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The riveting story of the American scientists, tinkerers, and nerds who solved one of the biggest puzzles of World War II--and developed one of the most powerful weapons of the war. 12 Seconds of Silence is the remarkable, lost story of how a rag tag group of American scientists overcame one of the toughest problems of World War II: Shooting things out of the sky. Working in a secretive organization known as Section T, a team of physicists, engineers, and everyday Joes and Janes created one of the world's first "smart weapons"--the proximity fuse. The tiny gadget allowed an artillery shell to "know" when to explode to bring down an aircraft. Against overwhelming odds and in a race against time, mustering every scrap of resource, ingenuity, and insight, the scientists of Section T would eventually save countless lives, rescue the city of London from the onslaught of a Nazi superweapon, and help bring about the Axis defeat. A holy grail sought after by Allied and Axis powers alike, the fuse ranks with the atomic bomb as one of the most revolutionary technologies of the Second World War. Until now, its tale was largely untold. For fans of Erik Larson and Ben Macintyre, set amidst the fog of espionage, dueling spies, and the dawn of an age when science would determine the fate of the world, 12 Seconds of Silence is a tribute to the extraordinary wartime mobilization of American science and the ultimate can-do story.

Download or read book A Lit Fuse written by Nat Segaloff and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Lit Fuse is an unguarded, uncensored, unquiet tour of the life of Harlan Ellison. In late 2011 Harlan Ellison the multi-award-winning writer of speculative fiction and famously litigious personality did two uncharacteristic things. First, he asked biographer Nat Segaloff if he d be interested in writing his life story. Second, he gave Segaloff full control. The result is the long-anticipated A Lit Fuse: The Provocative Life of Harlan Ellison. The expansive biography, which is the first such project in which Ellison has permitted large portions of his varied works to appear, is published by NESFA Press. Segaloff conducted exhaustive interviews with Ellison over the course of five years and also spoke with many of his friends and enemies in an effort to get inside the man and pin down the best-known Harlan stories. Their wide-ranging discussions cover his bullied boyhood, his storied marriages, his fabled lawsuits, and his compulsive writing process with more depth and detail than has ever before appeared in print. But it also delves deeply into the man s deeply held principles, his fears, and the demons that have driven him all of his 83 (so far) years. Friends, colleagues, and admirers such as Neil Gaiman, Patton Oswalt, Peter David, Robert Sawyer, Michael Scott, Edward Asner, Leonard Nimoy, Ed Bryant, Alan Brennert, Robert Silverberg, and many other notables add their voices. Along the way the reader is treated to an analysis of the Connie Willis controversy, the infamous dead gopher story, allegedly pushing a fan down an elevator shaft, and the final word on The Last Dangerous Visions. What emerges is a rich portrait of a man who has spent his life doing battle with his times and himself, always challenging his readers to reach for a higher plane and goading himself to get them there. It s funny, wise, shocking, and well, it's Harlan. A Lit Fuse contains a 32-page color photo section.

Book Synopsis Lighting Your Own Fuse by : MAC Alexander Macdonald
Download or read book Lighting Your Own Fuse written by MAC Alexander Macdonald and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2011-02-22 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike so many other leadership, management, and self-help books, “A Glossary of Mission, Vision, and Passion” is written with punch and verve, reminding us who we are and what we can be, especially during times of stress. This illuminating book serves as a snappy reminder how to stay out of our own way. Here are just a few of the terms found within. Complacency – a full set of encyclopediasThere is the story about an ad someone found in the Christian Science Monitor. It read, “Full set of encyclopedias for sale, never been used; husband knows everything.” In the dating process when our hormones are popping or our testosterone levels are high; we do not miss doing everything and being everything under the sun for that other person. But then we begin to take things for granted. We begin to say, “Well, she knows I love her. I don't have to do that so much for her anymore.” “He knows I love him; I don't have to listen as attentively as I did before.” “The boss knows I care, I don't have to come in early every day like I used to.” Then all of sudden someone takes off with our job, with our employee, with our customers or our business, our wife or our husband, and we act shocked. But we became complacent.What you implied when you first signed on is a contract. What you implied when you were courting and wooing and pleasing your partner was a contract. When you break a contract, which means you stopped doing what made your relationship in a job or at home successful in the first place, you are out of integrity.Eleventh CommandmentThou shalt not covet thy co-worker's position or job title unless thou hast worked thy butt off to attain the same aptitude, develop the same interpersonal skills, continued your education, taken the same classes, made the same sacrifices, and shown the same patience as they did regardless of the rating or title with which they came into the organization or department. And you, if you came in with a higher rating, had better be continuing to show up as a person who is patient, humble, empathetic, always working on your skills as well, and most importantly seeking to share your knowledge with all others. For thou knowest about thine ego…Ego – the ego hates its own funeral“The ego hates its own funeral.”Dr.Viktor Frankle, author, neurologist, psychiatrist, Holocaust survivorSelf-talk – I don't have to believe a word I'm saying Remember that nothing has meaning except the meaning you give it. The key to freedom is that I don't have to believe a word I am saying. If your self-talk is negative you can gently say, “Thank you for sharing,” and keep going. A warrior can tame the cobra of fear. Warriors either live from their vision or they live from their story. Your fears are your story. Your strength is also your story. When you create a story with one or the other you own it, then it owns you. Take an accident prone person for example; what do they focus on? That's right, having accidents! A warrior concentrates on inner power.Star Wars – Luke, It Is Your DestinyI want to take this idea of being who you were made to be one step further. Your ancestors developing wiles and guiles, showing courage and stamina, perfecting craft and stealth and manifesting true grit, did not survive dinosaurs and wild animals, starvations and pestilence, raids and marauders, wars and diasporas; then a boat or land crossing, then more wars, civil or world, for you to disgrace your bloodlines by quitting or not doing your best, in fact doing more than your best. Indeed, it is these times where the survival experiences and hardships that formed the blood coursing through your veins shows up and shows off. You have a lot to offer. Your ancestors' sacrifices demand it; your friends and family need it, your future generations expect it: They want the modeling and you're it!

Book Synopsis The Bridal Chair by : Gloria Goldreich
Download or read book The Bridal Chair written by Gloria Goldreich and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Filled with fascinating details about the art world and colorful real-life characters, this novel may appeal to historical fiction fans who enjoyed Natasha Solomons's The House at Tyneford and Tatiana de Rosnay's Sarah's Key."--Library Journal An exquisite, haunting exploration of the complex mind of Marc Chagall through the eyes of his daughter -- great for fans of Mrs. Poe and The Paris Wife Beautiful Ida Chagall, the only daughter of Marc Chagall, is blossoming in the Paris art world beyond her father's controlling gaze. But her newfound independence is short-lived. In Nazi-occupied Paris, Chagall's status as a Jewish artist has made them all targets, yet his devotion to his art blinds him to their danger. When Ida falls in love and Chagall angrily paints an empty wedding chair (The Bridal Chair) in response, she faces an impossible choice: Does she fight to forge her own path outside her father's shadow, or abandon her ambitions to save Chagall from his enemies and himself? Brimming with historic personalities from Europe, America and Israel, The Bridal Chair is a stunning portrait of love, fortitude, and the sharp divide between art and real life. "Only Gloria Goldreich could write a novel so grounded in historical truths yet so exuberantly imaginative. The Bridal Chair is Goldreich at her best, with a mesmerizing plot, elegant images, and a remarkable heroine who...will remain with you long after the last page."--Francine Klagsburn, Jewish Week columnist and acclaimed author of Voices of Wisdom "In prose as painterly and evocative as Chagall's own dazzling brushstrokes, Gloria Goldreich finely evokes one of the most significant masters of modern art through the discerning eyes of his] loyally protective daughter."--Cynthia Ozick, award-winning author of Foreign Bodies
