Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simon Senlin, a sophomore at Wilbur College, discovers a dead professor when attempting to visit office hours. Despite the complacency of the local authorities, he soon finds that the reason for his professor's death is far darker than the merely sordid surface would indicate. Simon is drawn beyond the tranquil lawns of Wilbur College into a nexus of power, where budding techno-fascists lust after coveted Silicon Valley internships and ancient rites of dark magic fuse with modern technology. His investigations uncover an occult conspiracy, one that holds the attention span of the human race in the balance. Teaming up with his friend Emma and an eccentric professor who has harnessed the universe's fundamental forces, Simon attempts to prevent an apocalyptic reckoning. Together, they quest to save the integrity of human consciousness from the supernatural and technological forces arrayed against it.
Book Synopsis Tezcatlipoca by : Elizabeth Baquedano
Download or read book Tezcatlipoca written by Elizabeth Baquedano and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tezcatlipoca: Trickster and Supreme Deity brings archaeological evidence into the body of scholarship on “the lord of the smoking mirror,” one of the most important Aztec deities. While iconographic and textual resources from sixteenth-century chroniclers and codices have contributed greatly to the understanding of Aztec religious beliefs and practices, contributors to this volume demonstrate the diverse ways material evidence expands on these traditional sources. The interlocking complexities of Tezcatlipoca’s nature, multiple roles, and metaphorical attributes illustrate the extent to which his influence penetrated Aztec belief and social action across all levels of late Postclassic central Mexican culture. Tezcatlipoca examines the results of archaeological investigations—objects like obsidian mirrors, gold, bells, public stone monuments, and even a mosaic skull—and reveals new insights into the supreme deity of the Aztec pantheon and his role in Aztec culture.
