From critically acclaimed author Paul Mosier, a Publishers Weekly Flying Start, comes a stunning story about the beauty of family, the power of community, and ultimately the strength of the human spirit. Twelve-year-old El has planned on making her first week at a new school fantastic. She won’t go by her given name, Laughter. She’ll sit in the back of the classroom where she can make new friends. She won’t even have time to think about all the fun her old friends are having without her. Everything will be great. But when her dad picks her up after school and tells her that her younger sister, Echo, has a life-threatening illness, her world is suddenly turned upside down. And with her parents now pressed for time and money, El feels lost and powerless. Then she befriends Octavius, the only other kid in school who gets what she’s going through. As El begins to adjust to her new life, she soon finds that maybe a little hope and a lot of love can overcome any obstacle.
The Memoirs of an Immigrant by Joseph Molitorisz Pdf
Seventy years. A lifetime beginning in a tranquil Hungarian village, growing in a tragic time of political and ideological turmoil, the horrors of the Second World War, the humiliation of imprisonment in an American POW camp, the tyranny of Bolshevism, the crushing defeat of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. This is a captivating account of the nightmarish side of the 20th Century. Then, joining the tens of thousands of other refugees, the author’s search for a better life begins. Destination: America, the land of freedom. But life in the adopted homeland is marked by struggle and dogged determination to make good on a dream. The author unflinchingly chronicles the immigrant experience. This book is for readers who have the strong urge to look beyond the surface of what has been purported to be the 20th Century. This is not a writing of history. It is rather the writing of a life through which history reveals itself to those who have a receptive, critical mind and an open, compassionate heart.
Chaos from the Ancient World to Early Modernity by Andreas Höfele,Christoph Levin,Reinhard Müller,Björn Quiring Pdf
Chaos is a perennial source of fear and fascination. The original "formless void" (tohu-wa-bohu) mentioned in the book of Genesis, chaos precedes the created world: a state of anarchy before the establishment of cosmic order. But chaos has frequently also been conceived of as a force that persists in the cosmos and in society and threatens to undo them both. From the cultures of the ancient Near East and the Old Testament to early modernity, notions of the divine have included the power to check and contain as well as to unleash chaos as a sanction for the violation of social and ethical norms. Yet chaos has also been construed as a necessary supplement to order, a region of pure potentiality at the base of reality that provides the raw material of creation or even constitutes a kind of alternative order itself. As such, it generates its own peculiar 'formations of the formless'. Focusing on the connection between the cosmic and the political, this volume traces the continuities and re-conceptualizations of chaos from the ancient Near East to early modern Europe across a variety of cultures, discourses and texts. One of the questions it poses is how these pre-modern 'chaos theories' have survived into and reverberate in our own time.
Chaos, order and consciousness by Mattees van Dijk Pdf
This book is a journey through the cosmos in search of consciousness. We think consciously of what we think, feel and decide with our brain, but is our consciousness really unique? This theme takes us along an interesting journey through cosmology, relativity, particle physics, quantum physics, chaos theory, information theory, brain science, evolution, intelligent design, the origin and history of religion, the theory of the self, free will, and much more. The main theme of this book is the pantheism of Spinoza, our great compatriot. The scientific results of our time fully vindicate him, 300 years after his death. The book is a gesture of the natural sciences to the metaphysical without becoming too woolly.
Now expanded and updated, this authorized compendium to Kurt Vonnegut’s novels, stories, essays, and plays is the most comprehensive and definitive edition to date. Over the course of five decades, Kurt Vonnegut created a complex and interconnected web of characters, settings, and concepts. The Vonnegut Encyclopedia is an exhaustive guide to this beloved author’s world, organized in a handy A-to-Z format. The first edition of this book covered Vonnegut’s work through 1991. This new and updated edition encompasses his writing through his death in 2007. Marc Leeds, co-founder and founding president of the Kurt Vonnegut Society and a longtime personal friend of the author’s, has devoted more than twenty-five years of his life to cataloging the Vonnegut cosmos—from the birthplace of Kilgore Trout (Vonnegut’s sci-fi writing alter ego) to the municipal landmarks of Midland City (the midwestern metropolis that is the setting for Vonnegut’s 1973 masterpiece Breakfast of Champions). The Vonnegut Encyclopedia identifies every major and minor Vonnegut character from Celia Aamons to Zog, as well as recurring images and relevant themes from all of Vonnegut’s works, including lesser-known gems like his revisionist libretto for Stravinsky’s opera L’Histoire du soldat and his 1980 children’s book Sun Moon Star. Leeds provides expert notes explaining the significance of many items, but relies primarily on extended quotations from Vonnegut himself. A work of impressive scholarship in an eminently browsable package, this encyclopedia reveals countless connections readers may never have thought of on their own. A rarity among authors of serious fiction, Kurt Vonnegut has always inspired something like obsession in his most dedicated fans. The Vonnegut Encyclopedia is an invaluable resource for readers wishing to revisit his fictional universe—and those about to explore it for the first time. Praise for The Vonnegut Encyclopedia “An essential collection for fans of the singular satirist.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Indispensable.”—Publishers Weekly “If you’re somebody who has read one Kurt Vonnegut book then there’s a chance you’ve read them all. For the devout reader of Vonnegut there’s a voracious sense of completism. And, Marc Leeds and his new [The Vonnegut] Encyclopedia are here to guide you through it all. Just don’t blame him if you become unstuck in time while you’re reading.”—Inverse “Vonnegut enthusiasts will be delighted with Leeds’s exhaustive, almost obsessive, treatment of the characters, places, events, and tantalizingly mysterious references for which Vonnegut’s five-decade writing career is celebrated. . . . A wonderful and beautifully designed reference source.”—Booklist (starred review) “Leeds’s scholarship and genuine love for his subject matter render this encyclopedia a treasure trove for Vonnegut readers.”—The Nameless Zine

Like pop songs that have overdosed on camera cleaning fluid and pills, Matty Byloos’s short stories are most definitely NOT traditional ideas on the subjects of love, daydreaming, and the psychological dramas that have become an unavoidable part of the human condition. Byloos, at first glance, appears to share too much; but the information is masked, skewed and filtered through a very weird, perverse universe of characters who play out human dramas underneath layers of oddity. Byloos’s characters are confused - they’re sad, they’re searching - but in those emotional states, they’re real, easily identifiable people. Byloos takes the reader behind the scenes of lives we might not normally think about (or even want to think about) but which are no less real despite their clandestine nature.
Solomon Hooper, Angharad (Harry) Jones and Oli McConundrum have worked as teachers at The St Tiresias Academy for the past three years. Or so they thought. When they inadvertently discover their personal truths, they find themselves dragged into a life-or-death struggle that takes them on an epic journey. During their quest, they encounter a rather pungent 5th century Cornwall, a deep space amassing ship, a Pink Floyd gig in London in 1967, The Mary Celeste, an ancient intergalactic war, and a museum of incongruent things. They are forced to engage in battle with a foe who threatens to shatter the bonds that hold the very fabric of reality together. And as if this wasn't enough, they have to contend with an elderly gothic gentleman, tasked with the audit of molluscs, an over-confident robot, obsessed with administering foot rubs, a strawberry flavoured pussycat, a stroppy psychopath with his own personal army of dribbling monsters, and a bendy gymnast in a black fetish costume. Can they overcome these seemingly insurmountable odds, or will the universe dissolve into a subatomic, chaotic soup?
The Soothsayer & the Changeling by Dennis Danvers Pdf
After a horrific smashup on the interstate, Danny inexplicably acquires the ability to foretell and experience specific moments from others' future lives. This gift destroys his marriage and pushes him to the brink of madness. He finds solace and release as a soothsayer in the back room of the Tree of Life Book Shoppe, handing out tidbits from the futures of his largely narcissistic clients. Kristi, a Tarot reader extraordinaire at the shop, has known since she was an adolescent visited by strange beings who might be goddesses or aliens—who's to say—that she can cast spells that transform peoples' lives, sometimes with disastrous results. When she sets her sights on Danny to win his love, she makes a deal with the Triple Goddess—his love for the pair's help in fulfilling a wish of the goddess's own, to save the planet from its inevitable demise from human hands. Thus begins The Soothsayer & the Changeling in which the varied self-absorbed lives of a stunning beauty, a no-talent screenwriter, a bereaved Christian widow, a disgraced professor, an over-medicated depressive, and a lonely mountain boy with a way with animals are woven together to yield a dream of doom to awaken the slumbering world before it's too late. Promising epiphany over apocalypse, The Soothsayer & the Changeling pits our deeply personal obsessive lives against a dying planet upon which all our dreams depend, and offers the possibility of hope and love.
For Akiva Jaap Vroman "a day in the infinite past" is nonsense. All the days that have elapsed belong to a past of countable days; they started on a first day a finite number of days ago. Time began this first day. It follows that an eternal past does not exist. Vroman bases his reasoning on a simple mathematical law: an infinite quantity remains the same infinite quantity if a finite quantity, however large, is subtracted from it. On God, Space, and Time devotes itself to this proof.On God, Space, and Time is rooted in the epistemological thinking of Immanuel Kant and Jean Piaget and the law of Leucippus, and draws from the somewhat disparate fields of psychology, physiology, mathematics, and physics.
From Triumph superstar Rik Emmett comes the thrilling, inspiring story of a life of rock and roll While describing the impulse driving his life and work, Rik Emmett explains, “I was never in it for the sex and drugs — ah, but the rock and roll. Creativity was, and still is, my it — the truth I bet my life on. It was also, always, about play. The play’s the thing …” Merging memoir, anecdotes, and masterclasses on guitar, songwriting, and the artist’s mindset, Lay It on the Line offers insight and perspective into the many roles Rik Emmett took on. “It” was always a parboiling, psychological gumbo: and this book attempts to finally share the recipe. It also includes photos from Emmett’s own archives, plus the definitive, detailed reasons behind why he walked from Triumph — and came back two decades later. Rock star, it seems, was a character for Rik Emmett to inhabit … a great gig, a catalytic door-opener … it was a role that led to other adventures — and these are the stories he’s chosen to tell.
