Book excerpt: The final novel in the alchemical thriller series set in an alternate Venice by the World Fantasy Award–winning author of A Bed of Earth. Centuries into the future, the sunken city of Venus has been salvaged from beneath the sea and rebuilt there under a dome, where it is supported by a vast network of computers that regulate weather, noise, and the most precious undersea commodity of all—air. It is here that a macabre experiment takes place. Conducted by geneticists at the university, the test consists of the resurrection of two lost souls, both murdered in their times: Jula, a first-century gladiatrix, and Cloudio del Nero, the eighteenth-century composer who met his fate in Lee’s acclaimed first volume of the Secret Books of Venus series. An unexplained catastrophe occurs, claiming several lives. Was it merely an accident, computer failure, or has the trial unleashed an airborne virus? Or is there an even more sinister danger afoot, a force from beyond that threatens the survival of Venus itself? To answer these questions, a traveler from the surface is forced to confront mysteries in his own past that have remained buried, and to reveal the connection that ties him to the unavenged spirits wreaking havoc on the doomed city. “The last of the four Secret Books of Venus is a tale of suspense and mystery.” —Booklist

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Venus of Milo: Its Discovery, the Theories Concerning It, Its Subsequent History There were also near the spot, ancient tombs that had been hollowed in the rocks of the moun tain side; so that from the sequel we have every reason to suppose that Georges, although a peas ant, had ever ih his mind the expectation of some day finding that which would repay his labor far better than years of toil, as a till-er of the Soil. If it was so his time had at last arrived. He continued his excavations until he reached a wall and opened to view the top of a niche, which he explored for some seven or eight feet below the surface of the earth. There was this statue, in several pieces, and mixed with them three heads, or hermae, one of Bacchus, one of Mercury, and one of Hercules. Although the peasant was ignorant of the value of his discovery, he never theless knew that this was for him a prize worth.

Book Synopsis Homage to Venus (Classic Reprint) by : James Laver
Download or read book Homage to Venus (Classic Reprint) written by James Laver and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homage to Venus Dione. It was Hesiod who preserved for us the more primitive legend of Venus born from the waves of the sea. This is the Oriental story (lakshmi too is born of the churning of the ocean) and it is also the more pro found, in spite of its crudity or perhaps because of it. The ancient East had many intuitions of the nature of things; and modern science often does no more than clothe in precise language what the symbolism of mythology had already apprehended and expressed. The Heavenly Seed falling into the Sea of Matter is a pregnant allegory that persists even in the minds of materialists. Yet this is but half the story. For Venus is not the Goddess of Life but the Goddess of Love. And love is the conjunction of individual Opposites. Venus arose from the foam at the water's edge, a creature of sea and earth. From the whirl pool of life as it broke upon land, Love was born. Ever since the first dawn of thought gleamed upon the dark landscape of the instincts, man has regarded woman with a mixture of attraction and awe. Woman as the Gate of Life; Woman as the Object of Desire: between these two poles have his emotions swung. She was at once the great Mother and the Universal Mistress; and in both capacities charged with mm. The body of woman has always been heavy with magic, mysterious as life itself. Somehow it was more deeply imbedded in Nature than man's own body, more responsive to its rhythms. And if individual woman, how much more the Great Goddess.

Download or read book The Hottentot Venus written by Rachel Holmes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-19 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed biography of Sarah Baartman, once a slave and later a showgirl 'A significant and timely book ... Holmes has produced a laceratingly powerful story' Frances Wilson, Literary Review 'Impeccable ... In telling her extraordinary story, Holmes's fascinating book illuminates the forces which dominated her age, and resound in our own' Sunday Telegraph In 1810 the slave turned showgirl Sarah Baartman, London's most famous curiosity, became its legal cause célèbre. Famed for her exquisite physique – in particular her shapely bottom – she was stared at, stripped, pinched, painted, worshipped and ridiculed. This talented, tragic young South African woman became a symbol of exploitation, colonialism – and defiance. In this scintillating and vividly written book Rachel Holmes traces the full arc of Baartman's extraordinary life for the first time.

Download or read book Venus II written by Steven W. Bougher and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 1377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The final orbit of Venus by the Magellan spacecraft in October 1994 brought to a close an exciting period of Venus reconnaissance and exploration. The scientific studies resulting from data collected by the Magellan, Galileo, and Pioneer missions are unprecedented in their detail for any planet except Earth. Venus II re-evaluates initial assessments of Venus in light of these and other spacecraft missions and ground-based observations conducted over the past 30 years. More than a hundred contributors summarize our current knowledge of the planet, consider points of disagreement in interpretation, and identify priorities for future research. Topics addressed include geology, surface processes, volcanism, tectonism, impact cratering, geodynamics, upper and lower atmospheres, and solar wind environment. The diversity of the coverage reflects the interdisciplinary nature of Venus science and the breadth of knowledge that has contributed to it. A CD-ROM developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory accompanies the book and incorporates text, graphics, video, software, and various digital products from selected contributors to the text. A multimedia interface allows users to navigate the text and the extensive databases included on the disk. Venus II is the most authoritative single volume available on the second planet. Its contents will not only help shape the goals of future Venus missions but will also enhance our understanding of current Mars explorations.

Book Synopsis Book Ownership in Stuart England by : David Pearson
Download or read book Book Ownership in Stuart England written by David Pearson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a wide-ranging account of the development and importance of private libraries and book ownership through the seventeenth century, based upon many kinds of evidence, including examination of thousands of books, and a list of over 1,300 known owners from diverse backgrounds. It considers questions of evolution, contents and size, and motives for book ownership, during a century when growing markets for both new and second-hand books meant that books would be found, in varying numbers, in the homes of all kinds of people from the humble to the wealthy. Book ownership by women, and by non-professional households, is explicitly explored. Other topics include the balance of motivation between books for use, or for display; the relationship between libraries and museums; and cultures of collecting. While presenting a wealth of information in this field, conveniently brought together, this volume also advances methodologies for book history, and makes extensive use of material evidence such as bookbindings. It challenges received wisdom around priorities for studying private libraries, and the terminology which is appropriate to use. In addition, the list of owners, detailed in the Appendix, make this book a work of permanent reference, alongside its value in advancing book history.
