Book excerpt: Josephine Early, New Orleans brothel owner and Union spy, has a mission. And it might just end the Civil War. She must deliver Ganymede, an astonishing prototype submarine, to the North. But the giant war machine is at the bottom of a lake, no one has safely piloted it and she must sneak its huge bulk past enemy forces. Luckily, she knows the right man for the job. She hasn’t seen former lover and air-pirate Andan Cly for years, but has a sweet job to tempt him back. He agrees to help, but his primary mission is to retrieve supplies for blighted Seattle, where noxious gas has forced residents underground and undead rotters menace the city. Although legit, the Seattle run makes Cly uncomfortable. He no longer flies sap, disapproving of the drug’s ugly side-effects, and the job is funded with sap money. Josephine’s jaunt could be a great distraction. But will they make history, or end up at the bottom of the ocean?

Download or read book Ganymede written by Wendy Rathbone and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Ganymede, and I have been betrayed. Every boy my age dreams of leaving home to embark on noble adventures, but never does any boy imagine it happening as it did to me. On the evening of my 18th naming day, I was sold to Zeus by my father.To be honest, I never believed in the gods, but my lack of belief held no power in Olympus. Now under Zeus's influence, I am kept drunk on ambrosia in the sun-lit halls of the immortals, alternately amazed and horrified at the power these beings hold over others, and how darkly they influence the progress of humanity itself. How very much I want to hate Zeus, and yet he shows me mostly kindness, even on that fateful night when we shared a bed for the first time. Kindness, yes, but also a godly and unyielding refusal to take no for an answer... probably because he could read my ambrosia-fevered curiosity as much as my naive, inexperienced terror. He owns me, after all, so perhaps it never occurred to him that a captive might not make the best of lovers. Throughout my time at Olympus the only thing that gives me hope comes to me in dreams and visions. His name is Sable and he is a magnificent shape-shifter in the form of a giant raven. When he first spoke to me in my mind it was with a resonance unlike any I had ever known - his mind and mine sounding a single note together, a song without words, a promise of freedom, a glimpse of some distant but very real possibility of this thing we humans call Love. But now he is silent. Perhaps I dreamed his voice. Perhaps, I have finally lost my mind..*Fans of The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, and Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat will especially enjoy Rathbone's version of the Ganymede's myth. -A.J., blog reviewer

Book excerpt: GANYMEDES CUP reveals a palimpsest that exposes the inextricable relationship between human beings and the ties that bind them to a world where the lines that separate good and evil are not only porous but also entwined. Stephen Lawrence, an intern with a prestigious NewYork firm, finds that he is a twenty-fifirst century Ganymede and cup-bearer to the gods of commodity culture, gender identity, and stem cell research. The Twin Towers loom large in the background as Stephen tries to maintain his ethical standards in the midst of a chaotic, consumer-driven world that grasps the innocent and ascends with them to the twenty-first century Mount Olympus of cultural consumerism.

Book Synopsis Ganymede's Dog by : John Emil Vincent
Download or read book Ganymede's Dog written by John Emil Vincent and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2019-10-03 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Took all this time to actually in fact bite our own tail to learn that that hurts; I guess it was worth it. / Developed a taste for tails. The prose poems of Ganymede's Dog startle myths back to life, whether Ganymede's abduction by Zeus in the form of an eagle, his abduction by a century's worth of Budweiser labels, Sophocles's boozy boy-chasing, or the dancing plague of 1518. John Emil Vincent teases his materials into surreal, joyous, dirty, sometimes gruesome animation. His revelations arrive in the guise of other characters, and throughout, there are dogs. Dog-themed philosophy, dog-headed saints, dog-worshipping island rituals, and just plain dogs invite the reader to puppy-pile with Petronius, Catherine the Great, and Saint Christopher in a sapiosexual orgy with autocorrect handling the towels. Deeply infused with gay culture and mythology, Ganymede's Dog is a collection of smart, knowing, allusive, often ironic poems that ponder the boundaries of legend and the privileges of youth and beauty.

Book Synopsis Moons of the Solar System by : James A. Hall III
Download or read book Moons of the Solar System written by James A. Hall III and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-19 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book captures the complex world of planetary moons, which are more diverse than Earth's sole satellite might lead you to believe. New missions continue to find more of these planetary satellites, making an up to date guide more necessary than ever. Why do Mercury and Venus have no moons at all? Earth's Moon, of course, is covered in the book with highly detailed maps. Then we move outward to the moons of Mars, then on to many of the more notable asteroid moons, and finally to a list of less-notable ones. All the major moons of the gas giant planets are covered in great detail, while the lesser-known satellites of these worlds are also touched on. Readers will learn of the remarkable trans-Neptunian Objects – Pluto, Eris, Sedna, Quaoar –including many of those that have been given scant attention in the literature. More than just objects to read about, the planets' satellites provide us with important information about the history of the solar system. Projects to help us learn more about the moons are included throughout the book. Most amateur astronomers can name some of the more prominent moons in the solar system, but few are intimately familiar with the full variety that exists in our backyard: 146 and counting. As our understanding of the many bodies in our solar system broadens, this is an invaluable tour of our expanding knowledge of the moons both near and far.

Book Synopsis Roman Homosexuality : Ideologies of Masculinity in Classical Antiquity by : City University of New York Craig A. Williams Assistant Professor of Classics Brooklyn College
Download or read book Roman Homosexuality : Ideologies of Masculinity in Classical Antiquity written by City University of New York Craig A. Williams Assistant Professor of Classics Brooklyn College and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1999-05-12 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a thoroughly documented discussion of ancient Roman ideologies of masculinity and sexuality with a focus on ancient representations of sexual experience between males. It gathers a wide range of evidence from the second century B.C. to the second century A.D.--above all from such literary texts as courtroom speeches, love poetry, philosophy, epigram, and history, but also graffiti and other inscriptions as well as artistic artifacts--and uses that evidence to reconstruct the contexts within which Roman texts were created and had their meaning. The book takes as its starting point the thesis that in order to understand the Roman material, we must make the effort to set aside any preconceptions we might have regarding sexuality, masculinity, and effeminacy. Williams' book argues in detail that for the writers and readers of Roman texts, the important distinctions were drawn not between homosexual and heterosexual, but between free and slave, dominant and subordinate, masculin and effeminate as conceived in specifically Roman terms. Other important questions addressed by this book include the differences between Roman and Greek practices and ideologies; the influence exerted by distinctively Roman ideals of austerity; the ways in which deviations from the norms of masculine sexual practice were negotiated both in the arena of public discourse and in real men's lives; the relationship between the rhetoric of "nature" and representations of sexual practices; and the extent to which same-sex marriages were publicly accepted.
