Book excerpt: When an entire population of Anasazi people mysteriously vanish, it is up to a team of modern-day archaeologists to unlock the secret of their disappearance. The year is 1198 and Shadow Dancer looks down on his home in Chaco Canyon from his cliff-side perch. His future as a medicine man seems preordained, due to his six toes on each foot, giving him special status with his people. Working with his mentor, Grey Elk, Shadow Dancer has to pay his dues as an apprentice, learning about medicinal properties of local plants, and connecting to the natural and spiritual world that he inhabits. A romance is ignited when the lovely Spotted Deer surprises him on his perch one evening. When a mysterious coughing sickness begins to spread through the canyon, Shadow Dancer is in a race against time to save his young family. Eight hundred years later, archaeologist Rachel Thompson finds herself on a new adventure. Rachel and her pilot husband, Rolly Boudreau, head to New Mexico to join a team of fellow archaeologists who are looking into the mystery of the people from Chaco Canyon, who seem to have been essentially wiped from the face of the earth. Their efforts to uncover what happened to the Anasazi are hampered by a sniper, bent on stopping them from continuing their research. When two of the team members become sick with a severe illness, their quest to uncover the truth suddenly becomes much more deadly. In this sequel to A Deadly Thaw: The York Factory Connection, fans of Rachel Thompson will be enthralled with the suspense and incredible historical detail in Frederick Ross’s new novel.

Book Synopsis The Desert Generals by : Correlli Barnett
Download or read book The Desert Generals written by Correlli Barnett and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 2011-07-14 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic account of the Desert Campaign of 1940-43, by a renowned military historian. The distinguished historian Correlli Barnett gives here a complete and full account of the Desert Campaign 1940-43, an epic story set in a wasteland where soldiers fought for victory in a tumult of mechanical warfare. But THE DESERT GENERALS is also the story of five men under the strain of command in battle, the commanders who successively led the Allied forces against first the Italians and then the Germans in the ebb and flow of the desert war, culminating in the myth of Montgomery and the battle of Alamein, a myth that Correlli Barnett sets out to expose as ill-founded. Brilliantly written, THE DESERT GENERALS captures at every level the intensity and human drama of a unique and compelling episode in the history of war and warfare.

Download or read book A Deadly Thaw written by Frederick Ross and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a team of researchers from Canada’s Arctic Institute travel to York Factory to disinter a grave, they unwittingly stumble upon more than they bargained for buried in the permafrost. Their research is focused on the old Hudson Bay Company fort cemetery, where they are attempting to find a definitive cause of the famed “York Factory Complaint” of 1833 – 1836. But alongside the now-opened grave of Joseph Charles, a “company man” who had succumbed to the “complaint” in 1836, they find a Hudson’s Bay point blanket, an artifact of particular significance to the archeologist of the team, Rachel Thompson, and an indication that Chipewyan people were likely buried there as well. Upon their return from York Factory, Thompson, another member of her team, and the bush pilot who ferried them to their research site, fall gravely ill. When infectious disease interns have the good fortune to be on hand in the remote north as part of a study, they examine the ailing pilot and are horrified to confirm that he suffers from smallpox, a disease thought eradicated worldwide in 1977. A simultaneous smallpox outbreak occurs in Russia, and suddenly the world must ask the question: how could a disease surviving only within the vault-like security of the world’s two level four containment labs have been unleashed to ravage millions? Could the melting permafrost be releasing this deadly contagion? Deadly Thaw is a richly imagined story that could be ripped from news headlines emerging from a planet struggling with the impacts of global climate change. Meticulously researched, steeped in history, and offering a touching lament for the fate of many First Nations people killed by smallpox infections carried from the “old world”, the story will have readers racing to reach its end and sleepless at imagining potential terrors that might await them.
Download or read book The Pyramids written by Joseph Davidovits and published by Hippocrene Books. This book was released on 1988 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pyramids of Egypt have remained one of the oldest and most puzzling mysteries of mankind. Until now, no one, Egyptologists included, has satisfactorily explained how the pyramids were built. The traditional theory explaining that long lines of workers hoisted and dragged massive blocks up enormous ramps does not adequately address the hazards and complexities that make such an operation highly unlikely, especially since hundreds of the largest blocks in the pyramids are situated at great heights. The uncanny fit of blocks, as close as 1/500th of an inch, puzzles Egyptologists. Hard metals, such as iron and bronze, were not yet developed to produce good stone-cutting tools. Logistical problems of constructing the Great Pyramid are staggering and have never been reconciled; the scale and perfection is too grand. During the 20-year reign of the pharaoh who built it, about 2 1/2 million blocks were produced and perfectly assembled. As scientific methods of investigation become more sophisticated, the list of enigmas lengthens and more questions are raised than answered. Dr. Joseph Davidovits, research chemist and founder of the chemistry of geopolymerization, has solved the mystery. He has recovered the great, forgotten technology used to build the pyramids. His discovery is so dramatic and far reaching in scope that major aspects of ancient history will require rethinking. This technology and proof of its use in ancient Egypt are vividly and convincingly presented in the Pyramids: An Enigma Solved. Our concept of ancient Egypt will never be the same! -- Dust jacket.
Book Synopsis Contemplative Enigmas by : Donald Haggerty
Download or read book Contemplative Enigmas written by Donald Haggerty and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite signs in recent decades of a crisis in the Church, a countercurrent of intense interest in prayer and a close relationship with God is clearly at work today. A deeper esteem for contemplation has accompanied this turning to prayer, and many people desire spiritual direction and guidance. Written by a recognized expert on contemplative prayer, this book concentrates on the interior hardships experienced by souls who give themselves to God wholeheartedly. More than a summary of the symptoms of interior trial, these poignant observations are the fruit of the author's many years in retreat work. Personal experience, not simply knowledge of the spiritual tradition, inform his concise, carefully crafted comments. Throughout the book, the writing invites the reader to ponder the subject of spiritual darkness, perplexity, and other struggles in the spiritual life always in the light of the loving God, who draws souls into greater surrender to himself.
Download or read book "Commy" written by G.W. Axelson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography of Charles "Commy" Comiskey is one of the earliest and most important--and, up to now, one of the hardest for baseball researchers to get their hands on--in the baseball canon. Comiskey spent half a century in the big leagues as a successful player-manager and owner, his clubs winning nine pennants along the way. But the dark cloud that hangs over him is the 1919 Black Sox scandal, in which he is inextricably tangled, fair or not. Comiskey's tight-fistedness is often cited as a principal cause of the 1919 World Series scandal. Commy suspected that the fix was on after the White Sox lost the first two games, and even implored his old friend, American League president Ban Johnson, to suspend the Series, but the tide of history could not be dammed. Historians of the game will find much valuable insight here on the rise of baseball in the Windy City, Comiskey's playing career (as an innovative first baseman), his long stint as St. Louis Browns player-manager (which included four straight pennants from 1885 to 1888), his helping Johnson form the American League, and his keeping the White Sox a family-owned franchise for nearly 60 years. Surprisingly, this is the only biography of Comiskey ever published. Fortunately, Axelson allows "The Old Roman" to speak for himself briefly in the last seven pages of the book. Here Comiskey comes across as humble and earnest, concluding his message with, "What I have tried to do [in baseball] has been my level best."
Download or read book Dilly written by Mavis Batey and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The highly eccentric Alfred Dillwyn Knox, known simply as 'Dilly', was one of the leading figures in the British codebreaking successes of the two world wars. During the first, he was the chief codebreaker in the Admiralty, breaking the German Navy's main flag code, before going on to crack the German Enigma ciphers during the Second World War at Bletchley Park. Here, he enjoyed the triumphant culmination of his life's work: a reconstruction of the Enigma machine used by the Abwehr, the German Secret Service. This kept the British fully aware of what the German commanders knew about Allied plans, allowing MI5 and MI6 to use captured German spies to feed false information back to the Nazi spymasters. Mavis Batey was one of 'Dilly's girls', the young female codebreakers who helped him to break the various Enigma ciphers. She was called upon to advise Kate Winslet, star of the film Enigma, on what it was like to be one of the few female codebreakers at Bletchley Park. This gripping new edition of Batey's critically acclaimed book reveals the vital part Dilly played in the deception operation that ensured the success of the D-Day landings, altering the course of the Second World War.

Book Synopsis Believing In Place by : Richard V. Francaviglia
Download or read book Believing In Place written by Richard V. Francaviglia and published by University of Nevada Press. This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The austere landscape of the Great Basin has inspired diverse responses from the people who have moved through or settled in it. Author Richard V. Francaviglia is interested in the connection between environment and spirituality in the Great Basin, for here, he says, "faith and landscape conspire to resurrect old myths and create new ones." As a geographer, Francaviglia knows that place means more than physical space. Human perceptions and interpretations are what give place its meaning. In Believing in Place, he examines the varying human perceptions of and relationships with the Great Basin landscape, from the region's Native American groups to contemporary tourists and politicians, to determine the spiritual issues that have shaped our connections with this place. In doing so, he considers the creation and flood myths of several cultures, the impact of the Judeo-Christian tradition and individualism, Native American animism and shamanist traditions, the Mormon landscape, the spiritual dimensions of gambling, the religious foundations of Cold War ideology, stories of UFOs and alien presence, and the convergence of science and spirituality. Believing in Place is a profound and totally engaging reflection on the ways that human needs and spiritual traditions can shape our perceptions of the land. That the Great Basin has inspired such a complex variety of responses is partly due to its enigmatic vastness and isolation, partly to the remarkable range of peoples who have found themselves in the region. Using not only the materials of traditional geography but folklore, anthropology, Native American and Euro-American religion, contemporary politics, and New Age philosophies, Francaviglia has produced a fascinating and timely investigation of the role of human conceptions of place in that space we call the Great Basin.
