Little is known about the fifth and last western expedition of the celebrated explorer John Charles Frémont. The great effort to survey a transcontinental railway route across the 38th parallel ended short of success in the snows of Utah in 1854 but involved a meticulous photographic documentation -- in daguerreotypes -- of the route from the Mississippi westward. It was believed that a central railroad across the country would favour abolitionists in the great debate then raging in the country over slavery. Solomon Nunes Carvalho was hired by Frémont to photograph the expedition -- the first time a western expeditionary survey had been systematically documented in photographs. Tragically, the daguerreotypes were destroyed by fire, and Frémont's fifth expedition was lost to history. Author and daguerreotypist Robert Shlaer remarkably has reconstructed the expedition in 120 original daguerreotypes. Using Frémont's maps, expedition documents, and Carvalho's diary accounts, Shlaer recreates the lost expedition across America's most breathtaking landscape using photography's first and most venerable method of daguerreotypye.

Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight Two months since the stars fell... Two months of silence, while a world held its breath. Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met? You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there. Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Have you ever wondered why you end up doing things that you cannot answer? What made you do that? Or, what was I thinking? Or even, I did it again! Maybe after you read this book, it might give you a better understanding about a lot of the wrong turns we make in our life that we lose control of. ?This is a story of a young man that was brought up in church his whole life and was given a gift to be able to see what we are not able to see. These are the demons that try all day and night to trick and deceive us into hurting and lying to each other. They also try to kill us in hopes that we do not make it into heaven. This young man will do everything in his powers to see that the demons do not succeed. He will try and block every attempt that the demons bring his way by using his gift and with the help of the best friend that we have on earth, the Holy Spirit, as well as the holy warrior angels that God has placed here on earth to protect and watch over us.

“His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen” (Psalm 72:17-19) The Great Commission which JESUS CHRIST gave to His apostles was latent in the promises and prophecies regarding the Messiah found in the Old Testament.
