Book Synopsis Doctor Aphra (Star Wars) by : Sarah Kuhn
Download or read book Doctor Aphra (Star Wars) written by Sarah Kuhn and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Aphra teams up with Darth Vader himself in the original script to the audiobook production—an expanded adaptation of the critically acclaimed Marvel comics series. Dr. Chelli Lona Aphra, rogue archaeologist, is in trouble again. A pioneer in the field of criminal xenoarchaeology, Aphra recognizes no law, has no fear, and possesses no impulse control. To her, the true worth of the galactic relics she discovers is found not in a museum but in an arsenal. This viewpoint has led to a lot of misunderstandings. After her latest plan goes horribly wrong, Aphra’s roguish ways are on the verge of catching up to her. That’s when suddenly Darth Vader, terror of the galaxy, swoops in with his lightsaber and . . . saves her life? Don’t get her wrong—it’s not like she’s ungrateful. Sure, her new boss is a lord of the Sith. And okay, she may have just become a pawn in a deadly game being played by him and his boss, who happens to be the Galactic Emperor. And yes, the life expectancy of anyone who disappoints Vader can be measured in seconds. But she’s back doing what she does best. She’s got a ship to fly, a heist to pull, and two unorthodox but effective metal buddies: Triple-Zero, a protocol droid specializing in etiquette, customs, translation, and torture; and BT-1, an astromech loaded with enough firepower to take down a battlecruiser. Together, they might just find a way to get the job done and avoid the deadly performance review that waits at its conclusion. Just kidding. She’s doomed.

Download or read book Mysterious Devices: Books 1-3 written by Shelley Adina and published by Moonshell Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 808 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This box set contains the first three novels in the Mysterious Devices series of clockwork cozies set in the Magnificent Devices world: The Bride Wore Constant White, The Dancer Wore Opera Rose, and The Matchmaker Wore Mars Yellow. In the Wild West, you always find more than you’re looking for... Daisy Linden is a young woman of gentle upbringing, some talent as a watercolorist, and firm opinions that often get her into trouble. Determined to find her missing father, in the summer of 1895 she sets out for the last place he was seen: the Wild West. It’s a rude shock when her younger sister stows away on the airship, determined to go with her! The search calls for greater courage and ingenuity than their sheltered upbringing has ever demanded, from outwitting a murderer in Georgetown to searching for a lost bride in Santa Fe, to avenging the death of a kind friend in the raucous gold-mining town of Bodie. They find help, loyalty, and even joy in new friends made along the way … but most of all, Daisy and Freddie find themselves to be capable, compassionate, and courageous women. If only they were not always one step behind Papa … and sometimes one step ahead of a killer … “Shelley Adina adds murder to her steampunk world for a mysteriously delicious brew! You’ll love watching her intrepid heroine (and unexpected friends) bring justice to the Wild West while pursuing a quest of her own.” —Victoria Thompson, bestselling author of Murder in the Bowery

Book Synopsis Shane, the Lone Ethnographer by : Sally Campbell Galman
Download or read book Shane, the Lone Ethnographer written by Sally Campbell Galman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shane is at it again in this new, improved second edition of the classic introduction to ethnographic research. The new text still features our intrepid heroine as she learns what makes ethnography tick against a backdrop of Wild West metaphors, cowboy hats, cattle stampedes, and cacti—and the new edition expands on important content to provide more in-depth material and deeper opportunities for readers to learn. Added indispensable material on study design, ethnographic foundations, theoretical frameworks, and ethnographic writing complements the original material from the beloved first edition. Whether you are a complete novice or someone already familiar with ethnographic method but looking to learn more about a particular aspect of study design, this text provides a fun, creative way to engage with complex methodological ideas and questions. Updates include: • The new edition synthesizes a broad range of writing on the topic of ethnographic methods, giving students a flexible frame on which to build as they delve more deeply into the material. • While the first edition was focused on ethnography within the field of educational research and the paradigms driving that particular area of inquiry, this second edition is widely interdisciplinary and cross-field. • The use of the comic format makes this text unusually accessible for a variety of readers and learners without sacrificing complexity or the depth of the material. • The book draws from a range of new, updated sources to address what students of ethnographic methods need to know today. The classic pieces remain the same, but the rest is overhauled and updated.
Book Synopsis When Running Made History by : Roger Robinson
Download or read book When Running Made History written by Roger Robinson and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-17 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robinson takes readers on a globe-trotting tour that combines a historian’s insight with vivid personal memories going back to just after World War II. From experiencing the 1948 “Austerity Olympics” in London as a young spectator to working as a journalist in the Boston Marathon media center at the moment of the 2013 bombings, Robinson offers a fascinating first-person account of the tragic and triumphant moments that impacted the world and shaped the modern sport. He chronicles the beginnings of the American running boom, the emergence of women's running, the end of the old amateur rules, and the redefinition of aging for athletes and amateurs. With an intimate perspective and insightful reporting, Robinson captures major historical events through the lens of running. He recounts running in Berlin at the time of German reunification in 1990, organizing a replacement track meet in New Zealand after the disastrous 2011 earthquake, and the triumph of Ethiopian athlete Abebe Bikila in the 1960 Olympics in Rome. As an avid runner, journalist, and fan, Robinson brings these global events to life and reveals the intimate and powerful ways in which running has intersected with recent history.
Book Synopsis Stories for Animals by : I. H. Smythe
Download or read book Stories for Animals written by I. H. Smythe and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-03-16 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are literally millions of books written about animals, but only two books written specifically for animals and this is one of them.* Originally these stories were published on the wind as an olfactory collection for dogs, but when they soared to #1 on the bestseller lists, other creatures demanded versions for themselves. Thus they were published with vegetable based inks for the edification of rabbits and slugs; converted into a vigorous waggle dance for honeybees; transcribed into whale songs, bird calls, cricket chirps, and elephant trumpets; and, lastly, translated into cow pies for the satisfaction of dung beetles and houseflies. All of these animals enjoyed reading about phobic cats, skeptical basset hounds, heroic honeybees, tree-hugging slugs, and megalomaniacal mollusks but now, at long last, Stories for Animals is available to animals of all species including yours. * The other is Poetry for Animals, available at fine bookstores and from woodland creatures everywhere. Recommended for ages 11+ (77+ in dog years)

Download or read book Perfectly Plum written by Leah Wilson and published by BenBella Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speculating about the cultural metaphors in Janet Evanovich's wildly popular mystery series (which includes 11 books, from One for the Money to Eleven on Top), this anthology takes a look at lingerie-buyer-turned-bounty-hunter Stephanie Plum and catalogs her bad luck with cars (she's blown up quite a few), her good luck with men, her unorthodox approach to weapon storage, and the rich tapestry of her milieu: Trenton, New Jersey, also known as The Burg. The contributors praise the way the series smartly spoofs that familiar chick-lit epiphany—I have a bad job and what I really want is a good man!—in Bounty Hunting as a Metaphor for Dating, Why Stephanie Should Quit Her Job … but Never Will, and Nothing Better than a Bad Boy Gone Good. Several essays veer from the chick-lit perspective and focus instead on the comic theme of luck and chance that ties Stephanie to the barroom gamblers and gangster meanies of her home town in Luck of the Italian?: Skill versus Chance.
