Book Synopsis Murder on Black Swan Lane by : Andrea Penrose
Download or read book Murder on Black Swan Lane written by Andrea Penrose and published by Kensington Books. This book was released on 2017-06-27 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Regency London, an unconventional scientist and a fearless female artist team up to trap a cold-hearted killer: “Thoroughly enjoyable” (Deanna Raybourn, New York Times–bestselling author). The Earl of Wrexford possesses a brilliant scientific mind, but boredom and pride lead him to reckless behavior. So when pompous, pious Reverend Josiah Holworthy publicly condemns him for debauchery, Wrexford unsheathes his rapier-sharp wit and strikes back. As their war of words escalates, London’s most popular satirical cartoonist, A.J. Quill, skewers them both. But then the clergyman is found slain in a church—his face burned by chemicals, his throat slashed ear to ear—and Wrexford finds himself the chief suspect. An artist in her own right, Charlotte Sloane has secretly slipped into the persona of her late husband, using his nom de plume, A.J. Quill. When Wrexford discovers her true identity, she fears it will be her undoing. But he has a proposal—use her sources to unveil the clergyman’s clandestine involvement in questionable scientific practices, and unmask the real murderer. Soon Lord Wrexford and the mysterious Mrs. Sloane plunge into a dangerous shadow world hidden among London’s intellectual enclaves to trap a cunning adversary—before they fall victim to the next experiment in villainy . . . “Sharp, engaging characters, rich period detail, and a compellingly twisty plot, Andrea Penrose delivers a winner.” —Deanna Raybourn, New York Times–bestselling author “Fans of C.S. Harris take note! A riveting ride through Regency London, from the slums of St. Giles, to the mansions of Mayfair.” —Lauren Willig, New York Times–bestselling author “Historical chemistry meets alchemy . . . A delight of a book.&rdquo

With more than two hundred vintage images, Linwood presents the view along the road from Leedsville to Linwood. Treasured nineteenth-century homes throughout the community provide a glimpse of the early years.

Book excerpt: Warren Pease is a comic novel about a twenty-something graduate student in history who also plays guitar in a bad rock and roll band.

If you think your parents would object to the bad language, do not ask them to buy you this book. I mention this mainly for the benefit of my students who may be tempted to purchase their teacher’s book. I don’t want to be accused, like Socrates, of corrupting the youth…

Download or read book Animal Envy written by Ralph Nader and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ralph Nader's newest work of the imagination, Animal Envy, is a fable about the kinds of intelligences that are all around us in other animals. What would animals tell us—about themselves, about us—if there were a common language among all animal species? A bracingly simple idea, one that has been used before in books like George Orwell's Animal Farm and E. B. White's Charlotte's Web among others, but never like this. In Animal Envy, Ralph Nader proposes, quite plausibly, that a programmer has created a "digital translation" app whereby animals of different species, from insects to whales, can speak to one another, and through a "hyper-advanced converter" these animals can then also speak, both collectively and individually, to humans. It is decided that there will be a global assembly. It will be called "The Great Talkout." Humans are persuaded to reserve 100 hours of network coverage so The Great Talkout may begin and will be viewed by humans everywhere, in all human languages, as well as all animal languages. The narrative that ensues is deeply felt and powerfully informed. Just as he did when he wrote Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us, Nader shows here that his visionary genius knows no limits.
Book Synopsis Random Necessities by : John Wheatcroft
Download or read book Random Necessities written by John Wheatcroft and published by Associated University Presses. This book was released on 1999 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Random Necessities, John Wheatcroft's sixth volume of poems, carries on the searching and exploring that have energized his poetry, fiction, and plays for four decades. Over time, Wheatcroft's passion to find a way to be and to do has deepened. And as the world for him has become increasingly obdurate, obscure, fragmented, and violent, his struggle to embrace, to see and hear, to hold together, and to endure has intensified." "In language that can be elegant but is usually tough, and in verbal music that is occasionally melodious, more often dissonant, the modes and moods of the poems range from celebratory to accusatory, from accepting to defiant, from playful to elegiac, from tender to bitterly ironic, though compassion underlies them all."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book excerpt: A world on fire. A gryphon army. A mysterious sickness. For years, Satra rotted in the dungeon depths while her kin were forced to wage wars to keep her safe. Now the eyrie is ash and she controls the largest army the continent has ever seen. As her opinicus enemies plot and scheme, she sets her sights on the Crackling Sea, where the last of her kin are held hostage. The snowy taiga gryphon Younce is one step away from being banished. Sent to investigate the frozen catacombs on the southern coast, he discovers dead gryphons, violent wildlife, and a hidden camp. After an infected gryphon leads him to a city of rafts and sea monsters, he begins to suspect that something more may be going on. Something bigger than just the taiga and coast. Something with terrible implications. While Satra squares off against treacherous taiga gryphons, vicious peafowl opinici, and mad scientists to save her kin before they’re executed, Younce uncovers a plot that goes far beyond sick gryphons.
