Behind the Ivy Walls by Hal English Pdf

"Behind the Ivy Walls" is based on the true story of a young boy seemingly born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth. It is written in the time-honored tradition of a feel-bad/feel-good story in which someone else's tragedy teaches us life lessons about positive thinking and seizing each day as a gift. This book details the quest for a true identity, the love of a family and a safe place to call home. After years of mental and physical abuse the boy discovers that he was secretly adopted and begins an unlikely journey to search for his family. In this wonderful Huck Finn type story one surprising deception after another surfaces, culminating in a secret so powerful it had to be buried for more than fifty years. Peppered full of twists, life determining challenges, positive role models, and many surprising skeletons in the closet, it ends with the unraveling of a father's ultimate vengeance and a mother's final retaliation.

King Nyx: A Novel by Kirsten Bakis Pdf

A haunting mystery about lost girls and the woman driven to find them, from the author of the contemporary classic Lives of the Monster Dogs. Anna Fort wants to be a supportive wife, even if that means accompanying her husband for the winter of 1918 to a remote, frozen island estate so he can finish his book as the guest of an eccentric millionaire. When she learns three girls are missing from a school run by their host, Anna realizes finding them is up to her—even if that means risking her husband’s career, and possibly her life. Her husband’s masterpiece-in-progress features strange meteorological anomalies along with wild speculations about “facts” he believes scientists hide from the public. Most people think Charles Fort is a crackpot. That’s about to change now that wealthy Claude Arkel is his patron. Yet Anna is sure something’s not right on Prosper Island, though the alarming return of her “troubles” makes her question her own sanity. Is the figure in the woods really the ghost of her long-lost friend Mary, or a product of her disturbed imagination? Accompanied reluctantly by a fellow guest, the elegant and troubled Stella Bixby, Anna embarks on a dangerous quest to find the missing girls before Arkel finds her—or her own mind unravels. A contemporary feminist tale with a dreamlike, gothic setting, King Nyx reintroduces readers, twenty-five years after her acclaimed debut, to one of our most astonishingly imaginative storytellers.

A Modern Theory of Evolution by Carl J. Becker Pdf

While the discoveries of modern academia have deconstructed and replaced all of Victorian science in detail we remain addicted to the Darwinian theory of biological evolution. Darwinists bicker with their dialectical counterpart, Creationism, as if nothing else could possibly exist. Is it not past time for us to evolve into the 21st century and reflect the database of modern science, or is this yet another cultural institution that is too big to fail? Letters of Recommendation I thoroughly enjoy your writing and your play with ideas. Dare I confess that I keep your book on my night table and sample it at the end of the evening to settle my mind for sleep. I am pleased to know you as my former student. Walter J. Freeman III, Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of California, Berkeley Thank you for your most enjoyable MS. A lovely piece: scholarly and entertaining, witty-ironic and educational, comic and playful, fine-tuned psychologically and easily flowing-streaming Roland Fischer, Department of Philosophy, University of the Balearic Islands As a microbiologist, I must say that it is impeccable. Mario Vaneechoutte, Department of Clinical Chemistry, University Hospital, Ghent The kind of work you are doing, which has merit in itself, is not appreciated by any run-of-the-mill academic unit in Universities that I know.

Are members of Yale’s secret society, Skull & Bones, responsible for the gruesome death of Anton Ainsley and, if so, why? When the investigation goes cold, it appears no one will ever know the truth. Twenty years later, Aubrey Brennan is a newbie reporter working for The American Journal when she is assigned to interview a retired Yale professor with potential skeletons in his closet that include a rumored government cover-up. As Aubrey immerses herself in investigating the cold case, she unearths the silent secrets of the Bonesmens’ ivy-covered tomb. Aubrey stumbles upon something far more sinister than a homicide: a connection between Ainsley’s macabre slaying and a covert government program to commence a sociopolitical genocide. Will she solve the case or will a dark secret remain buried forever? In this gripping novel, a newbie reporter investigating an unsolved homicide descends into an Ivy League secret society of entitlement, murder, and government conspiracy.
