Download or read book Threshold written by Rob Doyle and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A wild, sleazy, drug-filled odyssey ... Doyle's maverick novel deserves the accolades coming its way' Independent 'The best work to date from a writer who gets better and better with each release' Irish Indepdendent 'A masterclass in what not to do' New Statesman 'His best book so far: riddling, irreverent, fearless' TLS Rob has spent most of his confusing adult life wandering, writing, and imbibing literature and narcotics in equally vast doses. Now, stranded between reckless youth and middle age, between exaltation and despair, his travels have acquired a de facto purpose: the immemorial quest for transcendent meaning. On a lurid pilgrimage for cheap thrills and universal truth, Doyle's narrator takes us from the menacing peripheries of Paris to the drug-fuelled clubland of Berlin, from art festivals to sun-kissed islands, through metaphysical awakenings in Asia and the brink of destruction in Europe, into the shattering revelations brought on by the psychedelic DMT. A dazzling, intimate, and profound celebration of art and ageing, sex and desire, the limits of thought and the extremes of sensation, Threshold confirms Doyle as one of the most original writers in contemporary literature.
Book Synopsis On the Threshold of Transformation by : Richard Rohr
Download or read book On the Threshold of Transformation written by Richard Rohr and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep, personal pain is very real for men. So is the power to transform it. In one of the opening meditations of this book, male spirituality expert Richard Rohr writes, “We need to fail, to fall, to jump into the central mystery of our own existence, or we’ll have no way of finding our true path.” Those words serve as the starting point for a potentially transformative experience, one in which men come to grips with the fact that some form of suffering or letting go is essential to achieving wholeness, holiness, and happiness. With nearly every man dealing with some form of hurt in his life, On the Threshold of Transformation acknowledges the pain and deals with it directly and redemptively. While much of our culture today would have us believe that failure and suffering are inherently bad, Fr. Rohr helps men see that pain—in whatever form it takes—is a primary doorway through which they can pass to reach their authentic, best selves, which is where they will truly encounter God. Ultimately, this book of 366 daily meditations helps men learn how to transform their pain so they don’t pass it on. With Fr. Rohr as their guide, the path to male spiritual transformation can be found and followed.
Book Synopsis Words at the Threshold by : Lisa Smartt
Download or read book Words at the Threshold written by Lisa Smartt and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2017 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Our Last Words Reveal About Life, Death, and the Afterlife A person’s end-of-life words often take on an eerie significance, giving tantalizing clues about the ultimate fate of the human soul. Until now, however, no author has systematically studied end-of-life communication by using examples from ordinary people. When her father became terminally ill with cancer, author Lisa Smartt began transcribing his conversations and noticed that his personality underwent inexplicable changes. Smartt’s father, once a skeptical man with a secular worldview, developed a deeply spiritual outlook in his final days — a change reflected in his language. Baffled and intrigued, Smartt began to investigate what other people have said while nearing death, collecting more than one hundred case studies through interviews and transcripts. In this groundbreaking and insightful book, Smartt shows how the language of the dying can point the way to a transcendent world beyond our own.
Download or read book The Fold written by Peter Clines and published by Crown. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning science-fiction thriller from the author of Paradox Bound and the Ex-Heroes series. Step into the fold. It's perfectly safe. The folks in Mike Erikson's small New England town would say he's just your average, everyday guy. And that's exactly how Mike likes it. Sure, the life he's chosen isn’t much of a challenge to someone with his unique gifts, but he’s content with his quiet and peaceful existence. That is, until an old friend presents him with an irresistible mystery, one that Mike is uniquely qualified to solve: far out in the California desert, a team of DARPA scientists has invented a device they affectionately call the Albuquerque Door. Using a cryptic computer equation and magnetic fields to “fold” dimensions, it shrinks distances so that a traveler can travel hundreds of feet with a single step. The invention promises to make mankind’s dreams of teleportation a reality. And, the scientists insist, traveling through the Door is completely safe. Yet evidence is mounting that this miraculous machine isn’t quite what it seems—and that its creators are harboring a dangerous secret. As his investigations draw him deeper into the puzzle, Mike begins to fear there’s only one answer that makes sense. And if he’s right, it may only be a matter of time before the project destroys…everything. A cunningly inventive mystery featuring a hero worthy of Sherlock Holmes and a terrifying final twist you’ll never see coming, The Fold is that rarest of things: a genuinely page-turning science-fiction thriller.

Book excerpt: This complex and compelling novel, written by retired Chicago Police Lieutenant Dennis M. Banahan, reveals the many faces of crime in the city. Taut action, political intrigue and an earthy pathos illuminate the range of man's Threshold of Pain and create a sexy, fast-paced thriller.The story unfolds at the end of 1968, a volatile year in Chicago's history. Undercover (Chicago) police officer Johnnie Parello, who is assigned to the elite Red Squad Unit, stumbles upon an incredulous lead that may link a University of Chicago law student with the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy. When Parello attempts to launch an investigation into the matter, however, it appears that the FBI is stonewalling his efforts. Despite a federal injunction and pressure from the department to end the investigation, Parello and his partner, Big Mike Corrigan, are compelled to put the puzzle pieces together at all costs, and, it costs them plenty. The investigation that begins as a casual curiosity turns into a twenty-two year odyssey laden with death and political scandal.As we follow the well-structured plot, many characters captivate us, from Big Mike Corrigan's six-foot-seven thrust of spring-loaded energy to the dark, silky-skinned beauty of Detective Rennata McCray. Crisp writing and good pacing make Threshold of Pain a thoroughly engrossing crime novel.
Book Synopsis To Pause at the Threshold by : Esther de Waal
Download or read book To Pause at the Threshold written by Esther de Waal and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2004-07-01 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A threshold is a sacred thing," goes the traditional saying of ancient wisdom. In some corners of the earth, in some traditional cultures, and in monastic life, this is still remembered. But in our fast-paced modern world, this wisdom is often lost on us. It is important for us to remember the significance of the threshold. While it is certainly true that thresholds mark the end of one thing and the beginning of another, they also act as borders-the places in between, the points of transition. These can be physical, such as the geographical borders of a country; others, such as the spiritual border between the inner and outer world-between ourselves and others-are intangible. In To Pause at the Threshold, Esther de Waal looks at what it is like to live in actual "border country," the Welsh countryside with its "slower rhythms" and "earth-linked textures," and explores the importance of opening up and being receptive to one's surroundings, whatever they may be.

Book Synopsis Threshold of War by : Waldo Heinrichs
Download or read book Threshold of War written by Waldo Heinrichs and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1990-03-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first comprehensive treatment of the American entry into World War II to appear in over thirty-five years, Waldo Heinrichs' volume places American policy in a global context, covering both the European and Asian diplomatic and military scenes, with Roosevelt at the center. Telling a tale of ever-broadening conflict, this vivid narrative weaves back and forth from the battlefields in the Soviet Union, to the intense policy debates within Roosevelt's administration, to the sinking of the battleship Bismarck, to the precarious and delicate negotiations with Japan. Refuting the popular portrayal of Roosevelt as a vacillating, impulsive man who displayed no organizational skills in his decision-making during this period, Heinrichs presents him as a leader who acted with extreme caution and deliberation, who always kept his options open, and who, once Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union stalled in July, 1941, acted rapidly and with great determination. This masterful account of a key moment in American history captures the tension faced by Roosevelt, Churchill, Stimson, Hull, and numerous others as they struggled to shape American policy in the climactic nine months before Pearl Harbor.

Download or read book The Threshold of Manhood written by William James Dawson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Threshold of Manhood: A Young Man's Words to Young Men The two things most needed at such a time are the friendly aid of a thoroughly honest and manly piety, and, if possible, the social rallying-point of Christian club or home life. It is a question which religious households in great cities should discuss, whether it is not their bounden duty to open their doors freely to this crowd of young strangers who surround them; for to be cut off from the society of good women in the early stage of manhood is an unspeakable mis fortune. It is a yet more urgent question whether the Churches Should not provide in every city social centres for young manhood. I do not mean one or two huge institutions such as we now possess. I mean numerous homes and clubs, where young men coming up in search of Situations could find help, welcome, and accommodation, and where after business hours they could gather in genial social intercourse. Some social stimulant the young nature craves, and must have. If the Churches do not provide it, the music-hall will. I make no apology for the nature of these addresses. They retain the form of spoken counsels and appeals. Except by the occasional alteration of a phrase I have not attempted to recast them into a more literary mould. I simply seek by their publication a yet larger congregation than any I have talked with face to face. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Threshold written by Ieva Jusionyte and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2018-11-09 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jusionyte explores the sister towns bisected by the border from many angles in this illuminating and poignant exploration of a place and situation that are little discussed yet have significant implications for larger political discourse."—Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review Emergency responders on the US-Mexico border operate at the edges of two states. They rush patients to hospitals across country lines, tend to the broken bones of migrants who jump over the wall, and put out fires that know no national boundaries. Paramedics and firefighters on both sides of the border are tasked with saving lives and preventing disasters in the harsh terrain at the center of divisive national debates. Ieva Jusionyte’s firsthand experience as an emergency responder provides the background for her gripping examination of the politics of injury and rescue in the militarized region surrounding the US-Mexico border. Operating in this area, firefighters and paramedics are torn between their mandate as frontline state actors and their responsibility as professional rescuers, between the limits of law and pull of ethics. From this vantage they witness what unfolds when territorial sovereignty, tactical infrastructure, and the natural environment collide. Jusionyte reveals the binational brotherhood that forms in this crucible to stand in the way of catastrophe. Through beautiful ethnography and a uniquely personal perspective, Threshold provides a new way to understand politicized issues ranging from border security and undocumented migration to public access to healthcare today.
