Season 1: The Vincibles: Episode 3: Sydney by Aaron Patterson,Chris White Pdf

vincible: a. capable of being overcome or subdued; conquered.] Episode Three: Sydney Every story contains faces on the fringes. Those on the outside looking in. Observers who seem to have no power or influence. They're just along for the ride. Or are they? They're people like Sydney. A castaway loner at 14, a girl nobody ever wanted, Sydney keeps a go bag, her runaway kit, under her bed. She spends her life in support of others because she's too scared that if she takes any kind of responsibility, she'll screw things up. After all, that's how her birth father raised her. Sydney’s sisters Greye and Nika are both missing. The police are asking questions, and her answers aren't satisfactory. Sydney can sense time is running short, that she's stuck between the cops, Miss Ivy--her terrible foster mom, and this nameless evil that seems to be picking off her sisters one by one. In the end, Sydney is going to have to make a choice she never wanted to make. If she runs, will she get anywhere, or will she only be making things worse? Most important, will the sale of her soul be worth whatever pittance she gets in return? Will the fulfillment of a dream look more like a nightmare? Sydney's world might just collide into another she never imagined could be true.

Season 1: The Vincibles: Episode 4: Anna by Aaron Patterson,Chris White Pdf

[vincible: a. capable of being overcome or subdued; conquered.] Episode Four: Anna Every story contains faces on the fringes. Those on the outside looking in. Observers who seem to have no power or influence. They're just along for the ride. Or are they? They're people like Anna. She lost the gift of her sight at age ten, when her life took a turn for the worse, in the direction of her wicked foster mom, Miss Ivy. That was four years ago. Still, it was all pretty much bearable because of her sisters, Greye, Nika, and Sydney. But now all three of them are gone. So what about Anna? She knows Greye would dig into the headlines and make the necessary deductions. Nika would take the lead and get them moving in a direction by hook or by crook. And Sydney would add that all-important fifth element by encouraging and supporting every one of them. But what can Anna do? She's just a girl, at the mercy of her antagonists because of her blindness. It is a crippling liability. Or is it? Anna's world is about to change forever. When there are no heroes left, those to whom the sword falls become the most unlikely candidates in the war for all that is good. Will Anna be more than what she's ever known? Will she be... invincible?

Weary Warriors by Pamela Moss,Michael J. Prince Pdf

As seen in military documents, medical journals, novels, films, television shows, and memoirs, soldiers’ invisible wounds are not innate cracks in individual psyches that break under the stress of war. Instead, the generation of weary warriors is caught up in wider social and political networks and institutions—families, activist groups, government bureaucracies, welfare state programs—mediated through a military hierarchy, psychiatry rooted in mind-body sciences, and various cultural constructs of masculinity. This book offers a history of military psychiatry from the American Civil War to the latest Afghanistan conflict. The authors trace the effects of power and knowledge in relation to the emotional and psychological trauma that shapes soldiers’ bodies, minds, and souls, developing an extensive account of the emergence, diagnosis, and treatment of soldiers’ invisible wounds.

Napoleon's Egypt by Juan Cole Pdf

In this vivid and timely history, Juan Cole tells the story of Napoleon's invasion of Egypt. Revealing the young general's reasons for leading the expedition against Egypt in 1798 and showcasing his fascinating views of the Orient, Cole delves into the psychology of the military titan and his entourage. He paints a multi-faceted portrait of the daily travails of the soldiers in Napoleon's army, including how they imagined Egypt, how their expectations differed from what they found, and how they grappled with military challenges in a foreign land. Cole ultimately reveals how Napoleon's invasion, the first modern attempt to invade the Arab world, invented and crystallized the rhetoric of liberal imperialism.

Conrad's Fiction as Critical Discourse by Richard Ambrosini Pdf

Joseph Conrad's comments about his works have commonly been dismissed as theoretically unsophisticated, while the critical notions of James, Woolf and Joyce have come to shape our understanding of the modern novel. Richard Ambrosini's study of Conrad's Fiction as Critical Discourse makes an original claim for the importance of his theoretical ideas as they are formed, tested, and eventually redefined in Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim. Setting the narrator's discourse in these tales in the context of the dynamic interplay of Conrad's fictional with his non-fictional writings, and of the transformations in his narrative forms, Ambrosini defines Conrad's view of fiction and the artistic ideal underlying his commitment as a writer in a new and challenging way. Conrad's innovatory techniques as a novelist are shown in the continuity of his theoretical enterprise, from the early search for an artistic prose and a personal novel form, to the later dislocations of perspective achieved by manipulation of conventions drawn from popular fiction. This reassessment of Conrad's critical thought offers a new perspective on the transition from the Victorian novel to contemporary fiction.

Foreign Bodies by Bronwen Douglas,Chris Ballard Pdf

From the 18th century, Oceania became the principal laboratory of raciology for scholars, voyagers, and colonizers alike. By juxtaposing encounters and theory, this magisterial book explores the semantics of human difference in all its emotional, intellectual, religious, and practical dimensions. The argument developed is subtle, engrossing, and gives the paradigm of 'race' its full use value. Foreign Bodies is a model of analysis and erudition from which historians of science and everyone interested in intercultural relations will greatly profit.

Critical Path by R. Buckminster Fuller Pdf

The masterwork of a brilliant career, and an important document of the crisis now facing mankind. Today we find ourselves in the midst of the greatest crisis in the history of the human race. Technology has placed in our hands almost unlimited power at the very moment when we have run up against the limits of our resources aboard Spaceship Earth, as the crises of the late twentieth century—political, economic, environmental, and ethical—determine whether or not humanity survives. In this masterful summing up of an entire lifetime’s thought and concern, R. Buckminster Fuller addresses these crucial issues in his most significant, accessible, and urgent work. Critical Path traces the origins and evolution of humanity’s social, political, and economic systems from the obscure mists of prehistory, through the development of the great political empires, to the vast international corporate and political systems that control our destiny today to show how we got to our present situation and what options are available to man. With his customary brilliance, extraordinary energy, and unlimited devotion, Bucky Fuller shows how mankind can survive, and how each individual can respond to the unprecedented threat we face today. The crowning achievement of an extraordinary career, Critical Path offers the reader the excitement of understanding the essential dilemmas of our time and how responsible citizens can rise to meet this ultimate challenge to our future.

Life and Letters of Archpriest John Joseph Therry by Eris M. O'Brien Pdf

Excerpt from Life and Letters of Archpriest John Joseph Therry: Founder of the Catholic Church in Australia Manly. Quotations from these are noted as from Manly Archives. A few of the earlier letters have already been published by the late Cardinal Moran in his monumental History of the Catholic Church in Australia. The vast scope of that History left but little space for a full account of the early days of the Australian Church, and I feel that the Cardinal would have been the first to welcome this more detailed account of a period to which he gives but passing notice in a general survey.
