Chasing Palms by Jonathan Herbert Pdf

Award-winning author Jonathan Herbert Chasing Palms, a gripping novel that made it to the finals of the William Faulkner Literary Competition, we follow Butch Sands, who finds himself thrust into the Miami PD after a violent encounter that leaves him reeling. As he tries to come to terms with his past, Butch teams up with his grieving brother and a young, reckless cop to track down the perpetrator and bring them to justice. Praise for Jonathan Herbert “...vivid imagery throughout the story truly brings it to life...” —Marcy Shortuse, Editor of Gasparilla Magazine and the Boca Beacon "In Silver King, terrorism and piracy are very much alive in the twenty-first century. Herbert highlights both of these absolute truths in this suspenseful adventure, played out beyond the southern-most tip of Florida." —Gulf Coast Times "Herbert finds a way to reel you in to a disconnected paradise where wealth trumps justice, most of the time." —Cincinnati Enquirer for Banyan Street "A riveting, engaging first effort by a budding author with talent." —Englewood Sun for Banyan Street "Herbert is right on point with his novel. Suspenseful, intriguing, and a little shocking." —Gulf Coast Times for Banyan Street

To the Place of the Emerald Buddha by Susan J. Allix Pdf

"Seven images record an approach to the Buddha, first along the Chao Phraya river with its houses on stilts and painted temples, then into the complex, sculpted place around the emerald figure. The text part of the book printed by letterpress in a delicate Thai script but now old and fragile. Although "about Buddha" its exact meaning is left mysterious, for this is an evocation of atmosphere and place rather than a written record, which combines the unfamiliar, the remnants of age and tradition and the present visual reality. The images were made by pochoir from original drawings and overprinted with finely textures etchings. The pages were then together with orange or green silk, reminiscent of the garlands of marigolds and lotus buds around the temple. " -- documentation accompanying volume.
