Download or read book Fiendish Schemes written by K. W. Jeter and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1986 K. W. Jeter coined the term "steampunk," applying it to his first Victorian-era science fiction alternate-history adventure. At last he has returned with Fiendish Schemes, a tale of George Dower, son of the inventor of Infernal Devices, who has been in new self-imposed exile...accumulating debts. The world Dower left when he went into hiding was significantly simpler than the new, steam-powered Victorian London, a mad whirl of civilization filled with gadgets and gears in the least expected places. After accepting congratulations for his late father's grandest invention—a walking, steam-powered lighthouse—Dower is enticed by the prospect of financial gain into a web of intrigue with ominously mysterious players who have nefarious plans of which he can only guess. If he can locate and make his father's Vox Universalis work as it was intended, his future, he is promised, is assured. But his efforts are confounded by the strange Vicar Stonebrake, who promises him aid, but is more interested in converting sentient whales to Christianity—and making money—than in helping George. Drugged, arrested, and interrogated by men, women, and the steam-powered Prime Minister, Dower is trapped in a maelstrom of secrets, corruption, and schemes that threaten to drown him in the chaos of this mad new world. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book Synopsis Hot Planet, Cool Media by : Stephen Harper
Download or read book Hot Planet, Cool Media written by Stephen Harper and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2023-04-23 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Arab Spring and London riots through the era of Brexit and Trump, the Covid-19 pandemic and war in Europe, this volume collects eleven years of lively, informative and entertaining essays and polemics, focusing on media treatment of major world events, political entanglements and culture-war squabbles. Taking aim at the distortions and omissions of news reports and cultural narratives in the Western world, Stephen Harper highlights the dislocation between humanity's existential crisis and the failure of the corporate media to register its underlying causes – or even to entertain any real discussion of its solution. Instead, he argues, the media blithely serve the narrow interests of a global elite that is subjecting the planet to a reign of fire in the form of endless wars and ecological destruction. Harper reviews contemporary journalistic, cinematic and televisual coverage, engaging with broad cultural topics such as 'cancel culture', the incel phenomenon and Covid conspiracy theories, as well as key events like the debate between Jordan Peterson and Slavoj Žižek. For all its eclecticism, Hot Planet, Cool Media has an ideological cohesiveness, rejecting popular left and right political positions and advocating the cause of socialism or communism in the Marxian sense of a classless, leaderless, moneyless society.
Book Synopsis While God is Marching On by : Steven E. Woodworth
Download or read book While God is Marching On written by Steven E. Woodworth and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2001-10-02 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They read the same Bible and prayed to the same God, but they faced each other in battle with rage in their hearts. The Civil War not only pitted brother against brother but also Christian against Christian, with soldiers from North and South alike devoutly believing that God was on their side. Steven Woodworth, one of our most prominent and provocative Civil War historians, presents the first detailed study of soldiers' religious beliefs and how they influenced the course of that tragic conflict. He shows how Christian teaching and practice shaped the worldview of soldiers on both sides: how it motivated them for the struggle, how it influenced the way they fought, and how it shaped national life after the war ended. Through the diaries, letters, and reminiscences of common soldiers, Woodworth illuminates religious belief from the home front to the battlefield, where thoughts of death and the afterlife were always close at hand. Woodworth reveals what these men thought about God and what they believed God thought about the war. Wrote one Unionist, "I believe our cause to be the cause of liberty and light . . . the cause of God, and holy and justifiable in His sight, and for this reason, I fear not to die in it if need be." With a familiar echo, his Confederate counterpart declared that "our Cause is Just and God is Just and we shall finally be successful whether I live to see the time or not." Woodworth focuses on mainstream Protestant beliefs and practices shared by the majority of combatants in order to help us better understand soldiers' motivations and to realize what a strong role religion played in American life throughout the conflict. In addition, he provides sharp insights into the relationship between Christianity and both the abolition movement in the North and the institution of slavery in the South. Ultimately, Woodworth shows us how opposing armies could put their trust in the same God while engaging in four years of organized slaughter and destruction. His compelling work provides a rich new perspective on religion in American life and will forever change the way we look at the Civil War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russell Jordan and Amber St. Claire are homicide detectives for the Los Angeles Police Department. Russel is tall, handsome, single, via divorce and a Sergeant on the promotion list for Lieutenant. Amber is a stunning true redhead, single, due to lifestyle and a shape, that could cause traffic to back up on Hollywood Boulevard. They have worked serial murderer cases before, but never a serial maimer. By the third victim it is evident that a pattern has been formed. By the fourth case, the puzzle pieces are starting to fall into place. The person behind these maiming was only attacking graduates of a single high school. The maiming is vicious, from limbs blown off to rapes that hospitalized. After twenty years, the graduates have scattered to the four winds: from humid New Iberia, Louisiana to bitter cold Fairbanks, Alaska. From snowy Colorado to the windswept high desert of California. To compound their problems, every assailant is different, some from foreign countries. More problems, local police departments do not like them investigating their crimes. The closer they come to untying the maiming Gordian Knot, the danger factor increases. Russell is shot at twice and hit once. They have two options, either discover who is behind these maiming, or become the next victims.
