Download or read book Peace Talisman written by Ri Yue and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-01-24 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the eighth decade of the twenty-first century, technology had advanced worldwide. Democracy, freedom and equality were firmly established, and people had grown compassionate, cultured and wealthy. The world was a place of boundless opportunity. According to the government of the United States of America, which enjoyed a preeminent position in global politics, finance, science, culture and education, the world had entered an era of peace and was on the way to achieving total nuclear disarmament. However, in order to safeguard that peace, it was unsatisfactory to rely on political processes. Peace protocols were no substitute for a technologically advanced defensive system. A motion was passed by both houses of the American Congress, committing billions of dollars toward the establishment of an advanced-technology Peacekeeping Research Centre (the PRC). The PRC was directed to undertake research and development into a highly intelligent bio-organism with powers of flight and other supernatural functions while remaining under the sole command of the White House. This bio-organism would be required, on the one hand, to perform missions in peacekeeping and planetary safety, including warding off international terrorists and deterring major criminal activities, and on the other, to undertake the rescue of persons involved in natural disasters. This project, which had the highest classification, was codenamed Peace Talisman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 100 EXTRAORDINARY STORIES ABOUT ORDINARY THINGS SIGNIFICANT OBJECTS: A Literary and Economic Experiment Can a great story transform a worthless trinket into a significant object? The Significant Objects project set out to answer that question once and for all, by recruiting a highly impressive crew of creative writers to invent stories about an unimpressive menagerie of items rescued from thrift stores and yard sales. That secondhand flotsam definitely becomes more valuable: sold on eBay, objects originally picked up for a buck or so sold for thousands of dollars in total — making the project a sensation in the literary blogosphere along the way. But something else happened, too: The stories created were astonishing, a cavalcade of surprising responses to the challenge of manufacturing significance. Who would have believed that random junk could inspire so much imagination? The founders of the Significant Objects project, that’s who. This book collects 100 of the finest tales from this unprecedented creative experiment; you’ll never look at a thrift-store curiosity the same way again.

Download or read book Rainbow Rainbow written by Lydi Conklin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-06-09 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of stories that celebrate the humour, darkness and depth of emotion of the queer and trans experience that’s not typically represented: liminal or uncertain identities, queer conception and queer joy. In this delightful debut collection of prize-wining stories, queer, gender-nonconforming and trans characters struggle to find love and forgiveness, despite their sometimes comic, sometimes tragic mistakes. In one story, a young lesbian tries to have a baby with her lover using an unprofessional sperm donor and a high-powered, rainbow-coloured cocktail. In another, a fifth-grader explores gender identity by dressing as an ox – instead of a matriarch – for a class Oregon Trail reenactment. Meanwhile a nonbinary person on the eve of top surgery dangerously experiments with an open relationship during the height of the COVID crisis. With insight and compassion, debut author Lydia Conklin takes their readers to a meeting of a queer feminist book club and to a convention for trans teenagers, revealing both the dark and lovable sides of their characters. The stories in Rainbow Rainbow will make you laugh and wince, sometimes at the same time.

It comes with the territory, when you’re the only professional wizard in the Chicago area phone book. But in all Harry’s years of supernatural sleuthing, he’s never faced anything like this: the spirit world’s gone postal. All over Chicago, ghosts are causing trouble—and not just of the door-slamming, boo-shouting variety. These ghosts are tormented, violent, and deadly.

If Harry doesn’t figure it out soon, he could wind up a ghost himself...

Book Synopsis Caliban's Shore: The Wreck of the Grosvenor and the Strange Fate of Her Survivors by : Stephen Taylor
Download or read book Caliban's Shore: The Wreck of the Grosvenor and the Strange Fate of Her Survivors written by Stephen Taylor and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2005-07-17 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This incredible true story reads like the wildest fiction."—Booklist In the summer of 1783 the grandees of the East India Company were horrified to learn that one of their finest ships, the 741-ton Grosvenor, had been lost on the wild and unexplored coast of southeast Africa. Astonishingly, most of those on board reached the shore safely—91 members of the crew and 34 wealthy, high-born passengers, including women and children. They were hundreds of miles from the nearest European outpost—and they were not alone. "They surveyed one another with mutual incomprehension: on the one hand the dishevelled castaways; on the other, black warriors with high conical hairstyles, daubed with red mud..." Drawing upon unpublished material and new research, Stephen Taylor pieces together the strands of this compelling saga, sifting the myths from a reality that is no less gripping. Full of unexpected twists, Caliban's Shore takes the reader to the heart of what is now South Africa, to analyze the misunderstandings that led to tragedy, to tell the story of those who returned, and to unravel the mystery of those who stayed.
