Book excerpt: (new adult contemporary paranormal urban fantasy, drugs and addiction) Fall into the arms of the blue joy in a heart-pounding urban fantasy realm with Fresco by Patti Larsen – book one in the Diamond City Trilogy is a spellbinding new adult novel that will leave you breathless! Meet Fresco Conte, a seemingly ordinary seventeen-year-old living an idyllic life as an All-American kid from an upper middle-class family. Everything appears to be perfect until an inexplicable and unsettling force begins to consume him. Terrifying occurrences disrupt his once-normal existence, leaving him bewildered and afraid. When enigmatic figures clad in dark blue coveralls arrive to claim him, Fresco's world spirals into chaos. He is thrust into a nightmarish reality where he becomes entangled in the clutches of addiction to a mysterious substance called Wasteland. Alone and desperate, he finds himself wandering the unforgiving streets, haunted by unanswered questions and a relentless hunger that gnaws at his core. Patti Larsen's Fresco is a gripping new adult urban fantasy novel that deftly blends elements of the supernatural with the grit and darkness of the urban landscape. Prepare to be enthralled as Fresco's journey unfolds, taking you on a heart-pounding adventure where secrets, danger, and self-discovery intertwine. Larsen's evocative storytelling will transport you to a world where the boundaries between reality and the unknown blur, and the line between salvation and damnation hangs in the balance. As you delve deeper into the story, you'll accompany Fresco on his quest for answers, grappling with the consequences of his addiction and the dark forces that seek to control him. Fresco is more than just an urban fantasy novel; it delves into the depths of human resilience, exploring themes of identity, self-discovery, and the inherent power we possess within ourselves. Brace yourself for a journey that will keep you on the edge of your seat, as Fresco battles his inner demons and confronts the shadows that threaten to consume him. Don't miss your chance to experience the gripping world of Fresco – because sometimes, the greatest battles are fought within ourselves, and the choices we make can either lead us to redemption or plunge us further into the abyss.

Download or read book Representations written by John Bennet and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2021-08-30 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a series of reflections on modes of communication in the Bronze Age Aegean, drawing on papers presented at two round table workshops of the Sheffield Centre for Aegean Archaeology on ‘Technologies of Representation’ and ‘Writing and Non-Writing in the Bronze Age Aegean’. Each was designed to capture current developments in these interrelated research areas and also to help elide boundaries between ‘science-based’ and ‘humanities-based’ approaches, and between those focused on written communication (especially its content) and those interested in broader modes of communication. Contributions are arranged thematically in three groups: the first concerns primarily non-written communication, the second mainly written communication, and the third blurs this somewhat arbitrary distinction. Topics in the first group include use of color in wall-paintings at Late Bronze Age Pylos; a re-interpretation of the ‘Harvester Vase’ from Ayia Triada; re-readings of the sequence of grave stelae at Mycenae, of Aegean representations of warfare, and of how ritual architecture is represented in the Knossos wall-paintings; and the use of painted media to represent depictions in other (lost) media such as cloth. Topics in the second group range from defining Aegean writing itself, through the contexts for literacy and how the Linear B script represented language, to a historical exploration of early attempts at deciphering Linear B. In the third group Linear B texts and archaeological data are used to explore how people were represented diacritically through taste and smell, and how different qualities of time were expressed both textually and materially; the roles of images in Aegean scripts, complemented by a Peircian analysis of early Cretan writing; a consideration of the complementary role of (non-literate) sealing and (literate) writing practices; and concludes with a further exploration of the color palette used at Pylos.

Download or read book Naples: the City of the Sun and Parthenope: the role of astronomy, mythology and Pythagoras in the urban planning of Neapolis written by Nicola Scafetta and published by FedOA - Federico II University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay delves into the most intimate secret of Naples through an archaeoastronomical inquiry. It demonstrates that religious and philosophical motivations were central to the urban planning of its ancient Greek centre, Neapolis, constructed in the 6th- 5th centuries BC by Cumaeans and other Greek colonists. The design of the city's streets and its distinctive geographical-astronomical orientation evoked the cults of Apollo (the Greek Sun-god) and Parthenope (the local Numen, who reminds the mythical Sibyl of Cumae) on solstices and equinoxes. Neapolis' street grid was also inspired by Pythagorean cosmology, as it was designed with golden ratio and decagonal proportions. These elements combined to make Neapolis a perfect microcosm, or better yet, a temple-city centred on the cult of the Sun and Parthenope. Finally, the city’s religious traditions likely increased the public impact of the martyrdom of Saint Januarius, facilitating the Christianization of Naples in the 4th century AD. Naples’ ancient streets, culture, and Cathedral still preserve the legacy of Neapolis' solar traditions in their geometries, symbols, hymns, sweets, mosaics, and relics

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph overviews the importance of electrochemistry in the field of cultural heritage, including archaeology, conservation and restoration topics. The application of electrochemical techniques in these domains have experienced a notable growth during the last ten years, in particular with regards to the elucidation of composition, manufacturing techniques and chronology of archaeological artefacts. This book describes the application of solid state electrochemistry techniques for the use of samples at the nanogram level from paintings, metallic, ceramic, glass, glazed, wooden, and other objects, and it also includes the description of new dating procedures for archaeological objects made of these materials. It is a valuable contribution to the field of cultural heritage and will be of great interest to archaeologists, conservators and restorers as well as to physicists and chemists working on the scientific examination of works of art.

Download or read book The Ionian Islands written by John Freely and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legend has it that the Ionian Islands were created as Zeus' beautiful lover, Io, raced through the Ionian Sea escaping Hera's wrath. Rising from the waters between Greece and Italy, the Ionians - peaks of an underwater mountain range - are quite unlike any of the other Greek islands and are some of the most culturally, historically and mythologically rich in all Greece. Consisting of Corfu, Paxos, Ithaka, Lefkas, Cephalonia, Zakynthos (Zante) and Kythera, they have been inhabited since Paleolithic times and have a colourful and often turbulent past. Variously invaded and occupied by the Goths, Arabs, Normans, Venetians, British, Germans and most recently by tourism, they have always absorbed and assimilated other cultures whilst still retaining their unique character and identity. The Ionians have been made famous in literature from Homer and Aeschylus to Gerald Durrell and Louis de Bernières and numerous myths are associated with them: Corfu is linked to the voyage of Jason's Argonauts, Aphrodite was born on Kythera, Paxos and Corfu were once joined until Poseidon threw his trident and separated them and Odysseus' home was on Ithaka. John Freely, who has visited and travelled throughout the islands over the course of 40 years, here illuminates the history, culture and present day of all seven islands, providing the most readable and comprehensive guide to the magnificent Ionians.

Download or read book The Mycenaeans written by Rodney Castleden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-03-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following on from Rodney Castleden's best-selling study Minoans, this major contribution to our understanding of the crucial Mycenaean period clearly and effectively brings together research and knowledge we have accumulated since the discovery of the remains of the civilization of Mycenae in the 1870s. In lively prose, informed by the latest research and using a full bibliography and over 100 illustrations, this vivid study delivers the fundamentals of the Mycenaean civilization including its culture, hierarchy, economy and religion. Castleden introduces controversial views of the Mycenaean palaces as temples, and studies their impressive sea empire and their crucial interaction with the outside Bronze Age world before discussing the causes of the end of their civilization. Providing clear, easy information and understanding, this is a perfect starting point for the study of the Greek Bronze Age.
