Book excerpt: We are not guaranteed anything, not even this life. Rivers Young is the popular guy untouchable by reality. He is like a star--bright, consuming, otherworldly. The thing about stars, though, is that they eventually fall, and he is no different. He falls far and he falls hard. Delilah Bana is the outcast enshrouded in all of life's ironies. Alone, in the dark, like dusk as it falls on the world. When Rivers hits the ground, she is the night that catches him. In the darkness, they meld into something beautiful that shines like the sun. Only, the greater the star is, the shorter its lifespan.

With her two young sons, Nelly has fled to the simple stone house built by her great-grandfather in the moneyed horse country of Maryland in order to escape the grief of her husband’s death—and perhaps find a way back to her first love: photography.

Book Synopsis The Last of the Light by : Peter Davidson
Download or read book The Last of the Light written by Peter Davidson and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neither day nor night, twilight has long exerted a fascination for Western artists, thinkers, and writers, while haunting the Romantics and intriguing philosophers and scientists. In The Last of the Light, Peter Davidson takes readers through our culture’s long engagement with the concept of twilight—from the melancholy of smoky English autumn evenings to the midnight sun of northern European summers and beyond. Taking in poets and painters, Victorians and Romans, city and countryside, and deftly combining memoir, literature, philosophy, and art history, Davidson shows how the atmospheric shadows and the in-between nature of twilight has fired the imagination and generated works of incredible beauty, mystery, and romance. Ambitious and brilliantly executed, this is the perfect book for the bedside table, richly rewarding and endlessly thought-provoking.

Book Synopsis A Star for Waggoner by : Don M. Shannon
Download or read book A Star for Waggoner written by Don M. Shannon and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 1999-10-21 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waggoner is a semi-rural hamlet several miles down river from New Orleans, nestled into one of the meanders of the mighty Mississippi and surrounded by forest wetlands and swamp. Al Bauer is a professor of Astronomy at a local university who directs a Junior Astronomical Society for Waggoner's children. The quest of his life has been to locate the specific phenomenon that caused the Star of Bethlehem, something he is convinced will be either a black hole or a pulsar left behind after a supernova event. The community he loves plans to put on a living Creche for their annual Christmas pageant but right away things start going wrong. Bauer loses his position at the university, The creche gets caught up in a legal quagmire, one of his junior astronomers runs away from home, and another, Peanut, who's already lost his mom, faces losing his pop. Carol Perilloux, alias Christmas Carol, a name not originally given as a compliment enters into a conspiracy with Bauer to help Peanut's family, and the end result is a meshing of the lives and adventures of all the major players in a delightfully inextricable way. It all culminates in a surprise conclusion for all the characters in this very Christmas tale. A Star for Waggoner is a true American Christmas Carol blending nostalgia of Christmases past with modern times. There are Christmas stories of historical fiction based on the factual Christmas Truce of 1914 at the outbreak of World War I, to one about a little old Cajun lady living alone in the swamp. One can hardly read the story and not come away with a renewed love for the Christmas season, and the spirit it brings. It is a story about love, about hope, and about faith, particularly the faith of one little boy that binds all of the events together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aurora Award winning first book of the Night's Edge series introduces a rich and atmospheric fantasy world. The pastoral valley of Marrowdell is home to a small pioneer settlement of refugees, lush fields of grain, enigmatic house toads—and Jenn Nalynn, the miller's daughter. Life here is full of laughter and peace, as well as hard work, and no one bothers overmuch about the outside world. Except Jenn Nalynn. Jenn longs to travel, to seek what's missing in her life. Not that she's sure what that is, but since this summer began, she's felt a strange and powerful yearning. She's certain she'll find what she needs, if only she can leave the valley. But she must not. Jenn is turn-born and cursed, born by the light of two worlds and bound to both. For the valley is more than it seems. Long ago, a cataclysm of misused power pinned Marrowdell to the Verge, a place of wild magic, home to dragons and even stranger creatures. Should Jenn step beyond Marrowdell, she will pull the worlds asunder. To prevent this, powers from the Verge have sent a guard to watch over her, a disgraced dragon Jenn knows as Wisp, her invisible playmate. Wisp's duty is to keep Jenn in Marrowdell. By love, if he can. By her death, if he must. But time is running out. What Jenn unknowingly feels is the rise of the Verge's magic within her, a magic that will threaten her and those she loves. Worse, this summer will end with a Great Turn, and strangers seeking power at any cost have come to Marrowdell to try to force an opening into the Verge, to the ruin of all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When salt loses its savor it needs to be thrown out and replaced—this is an emphatic lesson from The Second Vatican Council, which addresses “joy and hope” in a faithless and despairing culture. The shining light of Vatican II is a beacon trained on the natural reality of transformational consciousness that grows out of and thrives in beauty and truth. The beauty of the moment, the truth of the moment is all that is and all that ye need to know, for beauty is truth, truth beauty. A Tree’s leaf is a lexicon (DIVINICON) of symbiotic history. Leaves are pages of durable consciousness that green freshly every Spring. Open to the beauty, the wisdom of a leaf, and the destiny of the blossom—HAPPINESS IS A LITTLE FLOWER GARDEN.

Book Synopsis The Architecture of Light by : Mary Ann Steane
Download or read book The Architecture of Light written by Mary Ann Steane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reviewing the use of natural light by architects in the era of electricity, this book aims to show that natural light not only remains a potential source of order in architecture, but that natural lighting strategies impose a usefully creative discipline on design. Considering an approach to environmental context that sees light as a critical aspect of place, this book explores current attitudes to natural light by offering a series of in-depth studies of recent projects and the particular lighting issues they have addressed. It gives a more nuanced appraisal of these lighting strategies by setting them within their broader topographic, climatic and cultural contexts.
