Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vanessa and her cousins Luke and Daniel stare in silence at the distant sky. Something large was hovering silently in the night sky. It had blueish-green lights and barely moved as though suspended by an unseen cord. Although it was difficult to see clearly in the dark, Vanessa could make out the silhouette of a round craft about the size of large truck. It had no wings or propellers and didn’t look like anything she’d ever seen…. In this third installment of the Vanessa Mystery Series, our heroine, 14-year old Vanessa is again visiting her cousins on the family farm near Fishers, Indiana, as the summer of 1967 is winding down. There’s been a mysterious house fi re, and her cousin Luke has seen a multicolored craft hovering silently over the Indiana skies two nights in a row. Vanessa, Luke, Emma, and Daniel, along with their friend Jim, begin to investigate. Who is the unfriendly new German neighbor, Mr. Kleinschmidt? Could he be a former Nazi? Who is the bald man with the large skull tattoo seen lurking in the woods? And who vandalized their new club house down by the creek? As the kids boldly follow their instincts, each lead brings them closer and closer to a dangerous confrontation, one that endangers their lives and teaches them that people aren’t always what they seem.
Download or read book Force written by Henry Petroski and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eminent engineer and historian tackles one of the most elemental aspects of life: how we experience and utilize physical force "Another gem from a master of technology writing."--Kirkus Reviews Force explores how humans interact with the material world in the course of their everyday activities. This book for the general reader also considers the significance of force in shaping societies and cultures. Celebrated author Henry Petroski delves into the ongoing physical interaction between people and things that enables them to stay put or causes them to move. He explores the range of daily human experience whereby we feel the sensations of push and pull, resistance and assistance. The book is also about metaphorical force, which manifests itself as pressure and relief, achievement and defeat. Petroski draws from a variety of disciplines to make the case that force--represented especially by our sense of touch--is a unifying principle that pervades our lives. In the wake of a prolonged global pandemic that increasingly cautioned us about contact with the physical world, Petroski offers a new perspective on the importance of the sensation and power of touch.

Book Synopsis Music for the Superman by : David Huckvale
Download or read book Music for the Superman written by David Huckvale and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-06-09 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friedrich Nietzsche regarded himself as the most musical philosopher—he played the piano, wrote his own compositions and espoused a philosophy encouraging all to dance for joy. Central to his life and his ideas were the music and personality of Richard Wagner, whom he both loved and loathed at different times of his life. Nietzsche had considerable influence on composers, many of whom employed Wagnerian sonorities to set his words and respond to his ideas. This book explores Nietzsche’s relationship with Wagner, the influence of his writings on the music of Strauss, Mahler, Delius, Scriabin, Busoni and others, his place in Thomas Mann’s critique of German Romantic music in the novel Doctor Faustus and his impact on 20th-century popular music.

Book Synopsis Rose Petals & Gun Powder by : Jean E. Dugas
Download or read book Rose Petals & Gun Powder written by Jean E. Dugas and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This encompassing tale of matter-bending storytelling begins on the lip of the Gulf of Mexico, 1947. Sampson `Apocalypse' Baker and Edison Thomas, polar opposites and WWII veterans, were not born under the star of luck. Their nomadic lives led as mercenary handymen --traveling the US in a patchy 1938 Ocean Blue LaSalle sedan outfitted with an Allison Liberator engine and the remnants of useful armor plating --have found their way through a partially sealed aqueduct discovered during a supernatural storm. Moments after their unorthodox arrival, they wander out from the decaying tunnel and discover a lost yet grand metropolitan island set out to sea, one haunted by the remains of humans fused to buildings and set free to feed; ravens who see these newly arrived combatants' activities and seemingly both help and hinder their progress; villains who defy the laws of both mortality and physics; and a mysterious woman who literally has the curse of death embalmed in her fingertips, never knowing the touch of human contact while carrying with her the most beautiful desires ever known to life. All are among the denizens of Static City, unwilling fallout from `The Accident' --an event upon the island of measured unfolding origin that changed all they knew forever. Rose Petals and Gunpowder, an intricately spun fictional novel combining carefully crafted elements of action, adventure, emotional interaction with larger-than-life characters, science fiction and suspense transport the reader into a world of tilted reality, changing what they think is possible through creative and risk-taking writing. This work by the author is the newest of a series of non-linear novels --currently the fourth completed --competing to be a fresh offering for the discerning adult audience seeking a fulfilling reading experience. This title joins the previously published Twisted Delirium: The Infinite Dream.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller! Ann Coulter is back, more fearless than ever. In Adios, America she touches the third rail in American politics, attacking the immigration issue head-on and flying in the face of La Raza, the Democrats, a media determined to cover up immigrants' crimes, churches that get paid by the government for their "charity," and greedy Republican businessmen and campaign consultants—all of whom are profiting handsomely from mass immigration that’s tearing the country apart. Applying her trademark biting humor to the disaster that is U.S. immigration policy, Coulter proves that immigration is the most important issue facing America today.
Download or read book Out of Asia written by JUSTIN THYME and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contents of this book is about an alternative point of view about human evolution of which you may not have heard elsewhere. Also it tries to explain why the races of mankind are different in the way that they are, also the reasons for racism and why it is so prevalent amongst those that live the closest to the minority group. It will also try to explain why countries with a certain racial balance do not do so well economical, or have the same economic equality of other countries that have a different racial balance. This may have nothing to do with intelligence. This book does not set out to justify racism in any victimising sense, but only to explain why social preferences may exist. The political correct will always give explanations that demean the racist, since this is the easy way out and fits in with their left wing views.
