Book Synopsis The Tinkerer's Accomplice by : J. Scott Turner
Download or read book The Tinkerer's Accomplice written by J. Scott Turner and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people, when they contemplate the living world, conclude that it is a designed place. So it is jarring when biologists come along and say this is all wrong. What most people see as design, they say--purposeful, directed, even intelligent--is only an illusion, something cooked up in a mind that is eager to see purpose where none exists. In these days of increasingly assertive challenges to Darwinism, the question becomes acute: is our perception of design simply a mental figment, or is there something deeper at work? Physiologist Scott Turner argues eloquently and convincingly that the apparent design we see in the living world only makes sense when we add to Darwin's towering achievement the dimension that much modern molecular biology has left on the gene-splicing floor: the dynamic interaction between living organisms and their environment. Only when we add environmental physiology to natural selection can we begin to understand the beautiful fit between the form life takes and how life works. In The Tinkerer's Accomplice, Scott Turner takes up the question of design as a very real problem in biology; his solution poses challenges to all sides in this critical debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Book Synopsis Callum and The Other by : Alan McClure
Download or read book Callum and The Other written by Alan McClure and published by Beaten Track Publishing. This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Change has come to the village of Skerrils, and fourteen-year-old Callum is struggling to adjust. Important people have moved on; others have arrived. Even the Mountain, once the scene of an epic adventure for Callum and his friends, has vanished in the October mist. But its power cannot stay hidden for long, for in that mist lurks a terrifying new presence that wishes to destroy all that Callum has ever fought for. This presence is known only as ‘The Other’, and it will take alliances old and new to reconnect Callum with past magic if he is to stop it before everything is lost. *** “This has a wonderful, otherworldly atmosphere – like a fantastic film on a bank holiday afternoon. That’s how it feels to me. So much fantasy is nihilistic and dark, but this is delightful.” —Paul Magrs, author of Strange Boy, Lost on Mars and The Novel Inside You “McClure had me from the first four words! This is a story about change and loneliness and how we connect. What it is to be human. McClure has filled this sequel with the same vivid, vibrant, sometimes uncanny sense of place – a story for our strange and difficult times.” —Joan Lennon, most recently co-author with Joan Haig of Talking History: 150 years of world-changing speeches “Much anticipated, Callum and The Other doesn’t disappoint. Dare I say, this is the author’s best yet – it brims with the intrigue, lyricism and light humour now characteristic of Alan McClure’s novels. My kids and I want more!” —Joan Haig, author of Tiger Skin Rug

Book excerpt: RT Reviewers' Choice Award winner She'll put her life on the line for him . . . When Akira Ayres finds the brawny Scot with a musket ball in his thigh, the healer has no qualms about doing whatever it takes to save his life. Even if it means fleeing with him across the Highlands to tend to his wounds while English redcoats are closing in. Though Akira is as fierce and brave as any of her clansmen, even she's intimidated by the fearsome, brutally handsome Highlander who refuses to reveal his name. Yet she can never learn his true identity. Geordie knows if Akira ever discovers he's the Duke of Gordon, both her life and his will be forfeit in a heartbeat. The only way to keep the lass safe is to ensure she's by his side day and night. But the longer he's with her, the harder it becomes to think of letting her go. Despite all their differences, despite the danger-he will face death itself to make her his . . . "Readers get all the benefits of a modern road trip (forced proximity, lots and lots of dialogue, and uninterrupted time for the hero and heroine's love to grow) without technology or secondary characters interrupting the main story arc. About halfway through there is a pretty darn huge plot twist, too. This book kept me on my toes and anxious for more." -- Book Riot

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six years following the Eternal War's caustic end, Laria finds itself with the four races unified under the banner of a new High King. Seeking to prove the Doream legend's authenticity once and for all, the search for the holy Adelpha Epsilian becomes an obsession. Faced with scattered demons, opposing religious cults, and the ever-present, ever-threatening Sions, Doream's decrees affect the entire world as another global war blazes on the horizon. Although not along the lines of ethnicity, the new conflict is founded on religious tension between Doream's young faith and the Sion's old dogmas. To make matters worse, Doream's wife carries the heir to the throne when a strange illness befalls her. Many, including the king's closest allies, wonder if he can balance his personal trials as well as the needs of his people as Laria collapses. All secrets are revealed as the High King confronts his greatest fear; doubt.

Download or read book Green Hell written by Ken Bruen and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Godfather of the modern Irish crime novel . . . writes in machine gun fashion . . . reminiscent of the work of Raymond Chandler and Peter Cheyenne.” —The Irish Times In Green Hell, Bruen’s dark angel of a protagonist has hit rock bottom: one of his best friends is dead, the other has stopped speaking to him; he has given up battling his addiction to alcohol and pills; and his firing from the Irish national police, the Guards, is ancient history. But Jack isn’t about to embark on a self-improvement plan. Instead, he has taken up a vigilante case against a respected professor of literature at the University of Galway who has a violent habit his friends in high places are only too happy to ignore. And when Jack rescues a preppy American student on a Rhodes Scholarship from a couple of kid thugs, he also unexpectedly gains a new sidekick, who abandons his thesis on Beckett to write a biography of Galway’s most magnetic rogue. Between pub crawls and violent outbursts, Jack’s vengeful plot against the professor soon spirals toward chaos. Enter Emerald, an edgy young Goth who could either be the answer to Jack’s problems, or the last ripped stitch in his undoing . . . “Taylor is a classic figure: an ex-cop turned seedy private eye . . . The book’s pleasure comes from listening to Taylor’s eloquent rants, studded with references to songs and books. His voice is wry and bittersweet, but somehow always hopeful.” —The Seattle Times
