Prophecy says the last priest of the secret order will rise to winged godhood after the apocalypse and save the human race. All Raven needs to ascend is an empath and an angel. The problem? There aren't any angels in this timeline, and the only surviving empath is a demon-possessed madwoman. With the help of The Book of Time, written by his previous incarnation, Raven must travel into the past, each time changing a single memory to create a better future. Each time he removes a traumatic memory for the empath, he changes her -- and what she means to him. Raven has just one night to free Lilah from madness and find the angel. Can he save the future by changing the past? Dark magic, black ops, and soul-stealing sex. Angels, demons, witches, empaths, and English professors all conceal the Secret Lives of Librarians, the Historical Society, and the ancient priesthood of a long-dead god. Together they prepare for the coming apocalypse, one dangerous book at a time. If you like dark stories, flawed characters, and old-school artifact mythologies, you’ll love the complexities and multi-layerings of this series. This book and others in the Secret Lives of Librarians universe can be read in any order.

Book Synopsis Tsunami Man by : Anthony D. Fredericks
Download or read book Tsunami Man written by Anthony D. Fredericks and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2002-02-28 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Walt Dudley waited on the roof of the Naniloa Hotel overlooking Hilo Bay. Eyes glued to the water, ears listening for the ring of his cellular phone, he was watching for a monster. It was a monster speeding across the Pacific Ocean at more than 500 miles per hour. It was a monster with the potential for consuming lives and pulverizing buildings. It was a monster of enormous strength, incredible power, and unbelievable destructiveness." Tsunamis--the stuff of legends in both ancient and modern times--are some of the world's most destructive natural disasters. But for Dr. Walter Dudley tsunamis are "not just about devastation and destruction, they are about men, women, and children." Dr. Dudley's work (see Tsunami!, 1998) has expanded our knowledge of these waves and has helped us to better understand and prepare for these unpredictable, yet ever present, dangers. In Tsunami Man young readers are given an inside look at the life of a working scientist who uses his knowledge for the common good and serves as an exciting role model for future scientists. Filled with dramatic photographs and accounts of tsunami survivors, the book also addresses the "how" and "why" of tsunamis, their impact on human lives, and the ways in which information about these "killer waves" is shared throughout the world.
Book Synopsis Second Reading by : Jonathan Yardley
Download or read book Second Reading written by Jonathan Yardley and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2011-06-28 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pulitzer Prize–winning book critic shares recollections and reviews from his career at the Washington Post. In this book, Jonathan Yardley considers lesser-known works from renowned authors and underappreciated talents, and offers fresh takes on old favorites. Yardley’s reviews of sixty titles include fiction by Gabriel García Márquez, John Cheever, and Henry Fielding; the autobiography of Louis Armstrong; essays by Nora Ephron; and Margaret Leech’s history of Washington during the Civil War. Second Reading is also the memoir of a passionate and lifelong reader told through the books that have meant the most to him. Playing the part of both reviewer and bibliophile, Yardley takes on Steinbeck and Salinger, explores the southern fiction of Shirley Ann Grau and Eudora Welty, looks into a darker side of Roald Dahl, and praises the pulp fiction of William Bradford Huie and the crime novels of John D. MacDonald. Collected from a popular Washington Post column of the same name, Second Reading is an incisive and entertaining look at the career and times of an esteemed critic and the venerable books that shaped him. This delightful consideration reminds readers that thoughtful criticism and a lively sense of fun can exist side by side.
Book Synopsis Earthquakes in Human History by : Jelle Zeilinga de Boer
Download or read book Earthquakes in Human History written by Jelle Zeilinga de Boer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 1, 1755--All Saints' Day--a massive earthquake struck Europe's Iberian Peninsula and destroyed the city of Lisbon. Churches collapsed upon thousands of worshippers celebrating the holy day. Earthquakes in Human History tells the story of that calamity and other epic earthquakes. The authors, Jelle Zeilinga de Boer and Donald Theodore Sanders, recapture the power of their previous book, Volcanoes in Human History. They vividly explain the geological processes responsible for earthquakes, and they describe how these events have had long-lasting aftereffects on human societies and cultures. Their accounts are enlivened with quotations from contemporary literature and from later reports. In the chaos following the Lisbon quake, government and church leaders vied for control. The Marquês de Pombal rose to power and became a virtual dictator. As a result, the Roman Catholic Jesuit Order lost much of its influence in Portugal. Voltaire wrote his satirical work Candide to refute the philosophy of "optimism," the belief that God had created a perfect world. And the 1755 earthquake sparked the search for a scientific understanding of natural disasters. Ranging from an examination of temblors mentioned in the Bible, to a richly detailed account of the 1906 catastrophe in San Francisco, to Japan's Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, to the Peruvian earthquake in 1970 (the Western Hemisphere's greatest natural disaster), this book is an unequaled testament to a natural phenomenon that can be not only terrifying but also threatening to humankind's fragile existence, always at risk because of destructive powers beyond our control.
