Download or read book The Baram Venture written by Lee Werrell and published by Lee Werrell. This book was released on 2013-12-24 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When There Are Armies Gathered For Invasion, Hermits Foretelling Prophecies and Wizards Planning on Taking Over The World, Two Unlikely Heroes Emerge When Elves and Humans worked alongside each other, struggling to find meaning in the changing world around them, magic, greed and power threaten to destroy civilisation as they knew it Excerpt - "Night closed around the two travellers like a falling blanket of black cotton wool. The wisps of evening mist danced and teased before them, vanishing like a gypsy dancer when the travellers got too close. The sun had only just finished weaving its way through the thick trunks and canopy of trees that had been their shelter for three days, and the sudden plunge into darkness seemed even more dramatic because of it. A heavily wooded region this part of the Kingdom of Taron was reputed to be, and there was no evidence to challenge that belief here, except a slight thinning of the trees as a villagers’ evening lanterns filtered their light softly through the maze of trees, providing a beacon for the weary travellers to follow." Thought provoking and yet endearing, the characters are real, the setting is believable and the underlying messages are poignant. A fantasy adventure that has violence and sexual innuendo. Not suitable for pre-teens. Using their guile and wit, fighting their emotions and cultural belief, in a struggle to do the right thing, Halon & Saldon, with their mysterious allies, fight the madmen and try to restore order to the world in turmoil.

Book Synopsis The Venture Alchemists by : Rob Lalka
Download or read book The Venture Alchemists written by Rob Lalka and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We once idolized tech entrepreneurs for creating innovations that seemed like modern miracles. Yet our faith has been shattered. We now blame them for spreading lies, breaking laws, and causing chaos. Yesterday’s Silicon Valley darlings have become today’s Big Tech villains. Which is it? Are they superheroes or scoundrels? Or is it more complicated, some blend of both? In The Venture Alchemists, Rob Lalka demystifies how tech entrepreneurs built empires that made trillions. Meta started as a cruel Halloween prank, Alphabet began as a master’s thesis that warned against corporate deception, and Palantir came from a campus controversy over hateful speech. These largely forgotten origin stories show how ordinary fears and youthful ambitions shaped their ventures—making each tech tale relatable, both wonderfully and tragically human. Readers learn about the adversities tech entrepreneurs overcame, the troubling tradeoffs they made, and the tremendous power they now wield. Using leaked documents and previously unpublished archival material, Lalka takes readers inside Big Tech’s worst exploitations and abuses, alongside many good intentions and moral compromises. But this story remains unfinished, and The Venture Alchemists ultimately offers hope from the people who, decades ago, warned about the risks of the emerging Internet. Their insights illuminate a path toward more responsible innovations, so that technologies aren’t dangerous weapons but valuable tools that ensure progress, improve society, and enhance our daily lives.

Book Synopsis The Venture of Islam, Volume 2 by : Marshall G. S. Hodgson
Download or read book The Venture of Islam, Volume 2 written by Marshall G. S. Hodgson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-05-15 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Venture of Islam has been honored as a magisterial work of the mind since its publication in early 1975. In this three-volume study, illustrated with charts and maps, Hodgson traces and interprets the historical development of Islamic civilization from before the birth of Muhammad to the middle of the twentieth century. This work grew out of the famous course on Islamic civilization that Hodgson created and taught for many years at the University of Chicago. In the second work of this three-volume set, Hodgson investigates the establishment of an international Islamic civilization through about 1500. This includes a theoretical discussion of cultural patterning in the Islamic world and the Occident. "This is a nonpareil work, not only because of its command of its subject but also because it demonstrates how, ideally, history should be written."—The New Yorker
Book Synopsis Swedish Ventures in Cameroon, 1883-1923 by : Shirley Ardener
Download or read book Swedish Ventures in Cameroon, 1883-1923 written by Shirley Ardener and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2002-08-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1880s were a critical time in Cameroon. A German warship arrived in the Douala estuary and proclaimed Cameroon a protectorate. At that time, two Swedes, Knutson and Waldau, were living on the upper slopes of the Cameroon Mountain. Very little is known about their activities. One, Knutson, wrote a long memoir of his time in Cameroon (1883-1895) which is published here for the first time. It gives fascinating insights into everyday life in Cameroon and into the multifaceted relationships among the various Europeans, and between them and the Africans, at the end of the 19th century; we learn about the Swedes' quarrels first with the Germans and later with the British, over land purchases, thus revealing the origins of long on-going disputes over Bakweri lands. We are given vivid descriptions of Bakweri notables and their, and the Europeans', cultural practices, a rare eye-witness account of the sasswood witchcraft ordeal, and learn about Knutson's friendships with slaves. Together with appended contemporary correspondence, legal opinions, and early (translated) texts, this memoir must be considered as a unique and invaluable primary source for the pre-colonial history of Cameroon.

Book Synopsis Venture All for God by : Roger D. Duke
Download or read book Venture All for God written by Roger D. Duke and published by Reformation Heritage Books. This book was released on 2012-06-30 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Christians are familiar with The Pilgrim’s Progress, John Bunyan’s (1628–1688) famous book written from a prison cell, which portrays the Christian life as one traveling from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City. During Bunyan’s life, however, he produced nearly sixty books and tracts. Roger Duke and Phil Newton, with Drew Harris, trace the significant events that shaped Bunyan’s life and thought in a biographical introduction and, in thirty-one excerpts from a variety of this great man of faith’s writings, give us a glimpse of his piety, which flowed from his desire to “venture all for God.” Table of Contents: Section One: Christ Our Advocate Section Two: Christ Jesus the Merciful Savior Section Three: Hope for Sinners Section Four: True Humility Section Five: Christian Ethics Section Six: The Gospel Applied Section Seven: Warnings Series Description Seeking, then, both to honor the past and yet not idolize it, we are issuing these books in the series Profiles in Reformed Spirituality . The design is to introduce the spirituality and piety of the Reformed Profiles in Reformed Spirituality tradition by presenting descriptions of the lives of notable Christians with select passages from their works. This combination of biographical sketches and collected portions from primary sources gives a taste of the subjects’ contributions to our spiritual heritage and some direction as to how the reader can find further edification through their works. It is the hope of the publishers that this series will provide riches for those areas where we are poor and light of day where we are stumbling in the deepening twilight.
