The Gnarl by Dale Stubbart Pdf

The bear charged the door and bounced right off. On the other side of the door, the maid was leaning against the door, exuding love to it with all her might. The force of her love sealed the door securely. Nothing could get through. Not even a ramming bear. But the bear was persistent, and bounced off the door several more times. Then, almost by accident, the bear found the edge of the spell and crashed through the wall next to the door. "Bear! Bear", screamed the maid as she went running away through the Mansion. The bear rampaged through the Mansion, sending the Jim O'Leary's scurrying in every direction. This was the Jim O'Leary Mansion and always had been for many generations of Jim O'Leary's. The current Jim O'Leary had been preparing for this moment all his life, and even before. This was the moment in which all the Jim O'Leary's would leave the Mansion, never to return. Meet the Bear, its Master, the Jim O'Leary's who wear no expression on their faces are are cursed by rainstorms always hovering over them. Nevertheless, the Jim O'Leary's are kind to all. Meet the John O'Leary's who are always looking for a fight. Meet the servants who have their own magic and The Gnarl who are wingless fairies. Reading Level Very Easy 6th Grade. Maturity G.

Surfing the Gnarl by Rudy Rucker Pdf

The original “Mad Professor” of cyberpunk, Rudy Rucker (along with fellow outlaws William Gibson and Bruce Sterling) transformed modern science fiction, tethering the “gnarly” speculations of quantum physics to the noir sensibilities of a skeptical and disenchanted generation. In acclaimed novels like Wetware and The Hacker and the Ant he mapped a neotopian future that belongs not to sober scientists but to drug-addled, sex-crazed youth. And won legions of fans doing it. In his outrageous new story “The Men in the Back Room at the Country Club,” Dr. Rucker infiltrates fundamentalist Virginia to witness the apocalyptic clash between Bible-thumpers and Saucer Demons at a country club barbecue. He shoots erotica into orbit with “Rapture in Space” to explore the future of foreplay in freefall. In his gonzo nonfiction masterpiece “Surfing the Gnarl,” he documents the role of the Transreal in transforming both the personal and the political, distinguishes with mathematical precision between “high gnarl” and “low gnarl” in literature and life, and argues for remaking popular culture as a revolutionary project. And Featuring: PM’s exclusive Outspoken Interview, in which the author explains Infinity, deconstructs his own outrageous film career, answers one Jeopardy question, and (finally!) reveals the truth about Time. All under oath. You’ll never be the same. Is that good or bad? Your call.

Oathbound by Darrin Drader,Greg Dent Pdf

The great City of Penance is the oldest settlement on the Forge, literally containing millions of years of history in its deep hulking mass. Though nearly forty million souls call the city home, less than half of one percent of the city's locations are inhabited. The bulk of the Pedestal is a madly stacked and sprawling ruin, only superficially explored by the relentless rafters and treasure-seekers of the surface world. Every home in the city has a hundred others lost beneath it, and every city street stands atop an incredible three-dimensional maze of corridors, alleyways, and crawlspaces - a maze where time has left nothing unchanged, eroding and distorting the framework of magic and even the laws of physics themselves.Long past the grasp of any human control, the ruins of Penance have become a true landscape, vast, beautiful, and unforgiving, with their own unique ecosystem and their own set of hazards and comforts. Strange plants and creatures have evolved in the eternally darkened streets below the city, and prey upon those foolish enough to step out of the city's gilded cage of civilization.Wrack and Ruin is an essential guidebook for anyone intoxicated by the forgotten secrets of the past, or by the potential power lost within the great city's crumbling majesty. Don't leave your Bloodhold without it!

How Music Came to the Ainchan People by Timothy Callender Pdf

This book can be read as a charming epic tale of how MUSIC was discovered by an ancient people, yet it is far more than that! It is also the story of an epic journey by the hero to find a way to overthrow a cruel dictator who was dominating his people with fierce cruelty. And yet it is far more than that! It is rich with descriptions of the nature of the elements of Earth, Water and Wind and how they metaphorically represent the elements of Music Rhythm, Harmony and Melody. The discerning reader will discover great lessons depending on wherever he/she is on the journey to discover TRUTH. Entertaining! Fascinating! Creative, as well as being a book of knowledge."

Functional Neuroanatomy by N. J. Strausfeld Pdf

The "functional" in the title of this book not only reflects my personal bias about neuroanatomy in brain research, it is also the gist of many chapters which describe sophisticated ways to resolve structures and interpret them as dynamic entities. Examples are: the visualization of functionally identified brain areas or neurons by activity staining or intracellular dye-iontophoresis; the resolution of synaptic connections between physiologically identified nerve cells; and the biochemical identification of specific neurons (their peptides and transmitters) by histo- and immunocytochemistry. I personally view the nervous system as an organ whose parts, continuously exchanging messages, arrive at their decisions by the cooperative phenome non of consensus and debate. This view is, admittedly, based on my own ex perience of looking at myriads of nerve cells and their connections rather than studying animal behaviour or theorizing. Numerous structural studies have demonstrated that interneurons in the brain must receive hundreds of thousands of synapses. Many neurons receive inputs from several different sensory areas: each input conveys a message about the external world and possibly also about past events which are stored within the central nervous system. Whether an interneuron responds to a certain combination of inputs may be, literally, a matter of debate whose outcome is decided at the post synaptic membrane. A nerve cell responding to an overriding command is possibly a rare event.

Reliable Software Technologies - Ada-Europe '99 by Michael Gonzalez Harbour,Juan A. de la Puente Pdf

The Fourth International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies, Ada- Europe’99, took place in Santander, Spain, from June 7 to 11, 1999. It was sponsored by Ada Europe, the European federation of national Ada societies, in cooperation with ACM SIGAda and Ada Spain, and it was organized by members of the University of Cantabria and the Technical University of Madrid, in Spain. This was the 19th consecutive year of Ada Europe conferences, which have always been the main Ada events in Europe, with their counterparts being the ACM SIGAda conferences in the USA (formerly Tri Ada). The conference is not just devoted to the Ada language, but rather to the more general area of reliable software technologies. In this sense, there are papers on formal methods, testing, software architectures and design, software engineering tools, etc. We believe that the role of reliable software technologies is becoming increasingly important, as computer applications control more and more of our everyday systems. The goal of our conference is to contribute to advancing the state of the art of all the technologies that help us in achieving better and more reliable software at a lower overall cost.
