Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demon armies have returned, and the world was not prepared to face them. Each bearing a piece of the sacred light, Corin and Olenka have finally found the power to defend their people. But the demon scourge is spreading fast, and there are few places of refuge left in the endless storm. Very soon, there may be no one left to save amid the breathless hordes of infected. Unless the world can come together. But the stone giants of Shan Zhong are not easily swayed. Now Corin must prove himself to the children of the mountains, a race so ancient that they remember the first yokai calamity… …as well as Vallin’s failure to end it. To the south, Olenka races from the safety of the sacred city to rescue a doomed fleet on a sick sea, but help is hard to come by on the blackened tides of a tainted ocean. Should she place her trust in her own finite strength, or in the bloody hands of pirates who claim noble intent? Either way, the future is filled with the harrowing echoes of the past.

Book excerpt: I can't remember the beautiful words that meter my tempo, so each day I must poetize life, for only in musical expression do I live. I'm never bored in nature but in human company, without conversation in some depth, I'm lost. I am without destination. My path is the warm face that gives me direction. My days are spent rambling on any road for That, for I am a pickpocket. In the herd of humanity, in the splash of people at the ball park, in the funneled troop of patriot workers en route to their jobs, in the turnstiles of the rapid transit ~ there amid the somnolence of beach ones, I siphon the unattended spirit. In vacant glances, I pillage from the nectar of every man.

Book Synopsis Public Service on the Brink by : Jenny Manson
Download or read book Public Service on the Brink written by Jenny Manson and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2012-03-13 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to this book mount a robust defence of the concept and practice of public service at a crucial time for its future. They question the ill-conceived assumptions behind the endless programmes of reform imposed by successive governments, often on the basis of advice from people with no direct experience of working in the public sector. With cuts in public spending by the coalition government and “austerity” programmes being imposed in Britain and abroad, the book could not be more timely in its reminder of the core purpose of public service. After a long period of denigration of the public sector, here is the voice that has not been heard clearly through these decades of reorganisation: "I know what my job is and I want to do it as well as I can. Indeed I would love my work if I could get one day's peace to get on with it. But I am beset at every turn by unintelligible, time wasting and fruitless management initiatives, constant change, ill-judged targets, wrong-headed 'commercial' exemplars and continuous and misguided restructuring. I have to watch as, instead of my 'customers' (actually patients, pupils, taxpayers) getting a better deal from me, the only beneficiaries seem to be those who can lobby for special treatment." The book contains accounts of public service by people of varying backgrounds and ages who work both inside and outside of the public sector. They share an allegiance to the value and purpose of working for the common good and an enthusiasm for getting things right and for the opportunity to recount their experience through this book.
Book Synopsis Fated Blight by : Benjamin Schwarting

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Their scent is on the wind. Their blood is in the tides. They are coming. Three years ago, Olenka rejected her place of privilege among the clergy, carving out a new life for herself as a sirena of the Great Sea. But when she begins seeing bleak visions of a gruesome future, she is forced to reconsider the dogma of her youth. They are nearly here. Given his outlander heritage, Corin's only wish was to stay out of trouble. He grew up hearing the songs of Vallin, and the campfire rumors of unseen horrors stalking the plains, but they were never more than shallow words on superstitious tongues. But then one breached the city. In a city split by fear, and on a sea scarred by plague, Olenka and Corin must learn to listen to the mysterious voice whispering to their hearts and face an age of blight that is destined to be repeated. Repeated, because it never truly ended.

Book Synopsis The End of Genetics by : David B. Goldstein
Download or read book The End of Genetics written by David B. Goldstein and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An urgent plea for a broader understanding and awareness of the unconsidered dangers of new genetic technologies Since 2010 it has been possible to determine a person’s genetic makeup in a matter of days at an accessible cost for many millions of people. Along with this technological breakthrough there has emerged a movement to use this information to help prospective parents “eliminate preventable genetic disease.” As the prospect of systematically excluding the appearance of unwanted mutations in our children comes within reach, David B. Goldstein examines the possible consequences from these types of choices. Engaging and accessible, this clarion call for responsible and informed stewardship of the human genome provides an overview of what we do and do not know about human genetics and looks at some of the complex, yet largely unexplored, issues we must be most careful about as we move into an era of increasing numbers of parents exercising direct control over the genomes of their children.

Download or read book Kindred Straits written by Benjamin Schwarting and published by Williams & Rose Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A typhoon’s wrath can be weathered with friends. Olenka is running away, and nothing is going to stop her: not monks, not monsoons, not even the crushing depths of the ocean itself. For too long she’s been dreaming of a life on the high seas, somewhere far beyond the temple’s suffocating walls. A sirena’s life filled with mystery and adventure and freedom. But freedom comes at a price. As Olenka quickly learns, the bustling boardwalks of Sotay Wharf harbor more than silks and spices. Wicked things haunt these waters: hungry sharks searching for careless minnows. If she’s going to have a chance of navigating these treacherous straits, she’ll need a crew. An experienced crew. But experience also comes at a price. Clueless and afraid, Olenka stumbles into Daisay, a fast-talking sirena captain, and her ragged band of almost-pirates. With the temple’s bushi tracking her on one end, and a ship of kaizo hunting her on the other, are Daisay’s seasoned spears just the help she needs to survive? Or will the crew’s checkered past add another weave to the net already closing in around them? What readers are saying about Kindred Straits: "I enjoyed the story telling and all the characters.

Download or read book Faustus written by Leo Ruickbie and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-10-24 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five hundred years ago the legend was born of a man who sold his soul to the Devil for power, wealth and women. It is a legend that has inspired genius and still inspires high art and popular culture alike. Around the world there are hundreds of nightly performances of Geothe's Faust, as well as actual attempts at soul-selling on eBay. Faustus has rightly been described as an 'icon of modern culture'. But in 500 years no one has written his biography - until now. 'Faustus' is the real story behind the legend. It is the story of a sixteenth-century scandal, of a man who claimed mastery of the forbidden magical arts and dared to rival the miracles attributed to Jesus. he evoked uproar and was accused of heinous crimes. But Faustus was not a charlatan; nor was he in league with the Devil. To find the real Faustus is to find the true history of his age, and Leo Ruickbe expertly takes the reader on a tour of war-torn Italy, Reformation Wittenberg and the magnificence of Charles V's court. The life of the legend becomes as real as any living person.
