Smithy by Amanda Desiree Pdf

"This original haunted house tale, with a unique plot and compellingly vivid characters, moves from uneasy to creepy to all-out 'keep the lights on' terror." —Library Journal, starred review. In the tumultuous summer of 1974, in the shadowy rooms of a rundown mansion in Rhode Island, renowned psychologist Dr. Piers Preis-Herald brings together a group of seven collegiate researchers to study the inner lives of man’s closest relative―the primate. They set out to teach their subject, who would eventually be known to the world as Smithy, American Sign Language. But as the summer deepens and the history of the mansion manifests, the messages signed by their research subject become increasing spectral. Nearly twenty-five years after the Smithy Project ended in tragedy at Trevor Hall, questions remain: Was Smithy a hoax? A clever mimic? A Rorschach projection of humanity’s greatest hopes and fears? Or was he indeed what devotees of metaphysics have claimed for so long: a link between our world and the next?

Smithy by Edgar Wallace Pdf

Between 1904 and 1918, Wallace collected tales about life in the British Army and the escapades and adventures of the troops. These led him to create the eponymous character, ‘Smithy.’ The first in the ́Smithy ́ series, this book is a collection of 23 short stories and vignettes featuring the eponymous soldier and his two mates, Nobby Clark and Spud Murphy. Easy to dip in and out of and with Wallace’s crackling use of dialogue, ‘Smithy’ is a perfect gift for any fans of one of the most prolific authors of the 20th century. Initially published in the Daily Mail, the ́Smithy ́ series features a bunch of short stories about the everyday life of the soldiers in the British military. Born in London, Edgar Wallace (1875 – 1932) was an English writer so prolific, that his publisher claimed that he was responsible for a quarter of all books sold in England. Leaving school at the age of 12, Wallace made his first steps into the literary world by selling newspapers on the corner of Fleet Street. He worked as a war correspondent after joining the army at age 21, which honed his writing abilities. This led to the creation of his first book, ‘The Four Just Men.’ Wallace is best remembered as the co-creator of ‘King Kong,’ which has been adapted for film 12 times (most notably directed by ‘Lord of the Rings’ director, Peter Jackson, and starring Jack Black and Naomi Watts). However, he leaves behind an extensive body of work, including stories such as ‘The Crimson Circle’ and ‘The Flying Squad.’

Smithy's Cupboard by Ray Clift Pdf

Smithy's cupboard has always been his refuge despite its different locations and uses. It serves him well in his childhood days on the Wimmera area broad-acre farm in Victoria where he was born and grew up. He plays with his toy soldiers inside the secret place. As he grows to observe wildlife, and later hunt game, he makes hides. His career in the army leads him to join the SAS as one of Australia's top snipers. His clever use of hides and secret areas makes him well known and respected, and he is drawn deeply into CIA operations. A family tragedy changes his outlook and leads him into a crime of vengeance. He uses various means to assist him in his own personal therapy and he frequently seeks the confessional, yet perdition ticks away inside his mind like a noisy metronome.

Effective Rust by David Drysdale Pdf

Rust's popularity is growing, due in part to features like memory safety, type safety, and thread safety. But these same elements can also make learning Rust a challenge, even for experienced programmers. This practical guide helps you make the transition to writing idiomatic Rust—while also making full use of Rust's type system, safety guarantees, and burgeoning ecosystem. If you're a software engineer who has experience with an existing compiled language, or if you've struggled to convert a basic understanding of Rust syntax into working programs, this book is for you. By focusing on the conceptual differences between Rust and other compiled languages, and by providing specific recommendations that programmers can easily follow, Effective Rust will soon have you writing fluent Rust, not just badly translated C++. Understand the structure of Rust's type system Learn Rust idioms for error handling, iteration, and more Discover how to work with Rust's crate ecosystem Use Rust's type system to express your design Win fights with the borrow checker Build a robust project that takes full advantage of the Rust tooling ecosystem

The Cahills by Domenick G. Scaglione Pdf

Pure love, not recognized as such by most children, inexplicably grows as they mature and makes them strong fighters against traditions, bigotry, tyranny, and parents' wishes. Mankind's desires to live closer to Mother Nature than within the confines of a human society determined to continue to live in the glory of self-esteem and false pride are ultimately achieved by the principal people in this novel. Great lessons to live by are taught by an old man living on a farm. A child, in need of comfort, finds companionship and peace in the world of his imagination where everything becomes real. Strong belief in God vanishes when unexpected events change many lives. Spoiled youth, like bull with lustful desires, inject poison in a town of peace loving people. Ultimately, the determination to really live one's faith restores peace and happiness in the hearts of people in love.
