The Iceman by JEANNE. BLANCHET Pdf

In 1991, two hikers in the Austrian-Italian Alps discovered a 5,300-year-old mummy partially embedded in a glacier. Ötzi may now be considered one of the most significant archeological finds of all time, but who was he when he was alive? Award-winning author Jeanne Blanchet, PhD, spent years researching Ötzi to weave a suspenseful fictional biography of intrigue and murder. At Ötzi's birth, a shaman foretold that he would do amazing things and impart priceless knowledge to future generations. But to reach that goal, he was forced to endure a life of hardship, including avalanches, bear attacks, and enemies intent on taking down the one man capable of revealing an earth-shattering secret that would revolutionize society. Vivid and realistic, yet as thrilling as a mystery novel, The Iceman: A Novel of Ötzi is a revelation of one man's saga in Europe's Chalcolithic Age. This riveting work of historical fiction will keep readers breathless to the very last page.

Relic the Copper Ax by Bill Copeland Pdf

The story is set in central Europe 5300 years ago. It ranges from the northern Alps of Italy to the eastern lands along the Danube River to the earliest European Bronze Age Civilization, the Vinca. Otzi is the chieftain of a south Tyrollean late Stone Age tribe scrounging for a living in the high alps. To support his village and family he travels on foot to trade with the people on the north side of the mountains. He returns after a long trip to his village with a big backpack full of goods. But his wife Mara tells him that the wheat crop has failed. He and his son Anise must hunt to get through the winter. As a youth he took a trip down the Danube to Vinca lands where he met his uncle and family who prospered raising goats, farming, and hunting. There he meets his first wife and must join the hunt for huge wild bison to win her. From the Vinca he learns the secret of smelting copper and is given small ore stones to help him find more. He brought his bride back up the Danube but she died during the birth of his son Anise. Desperate to find a way to support his family after the failed wheat crop, he searched the neighborhood for copper ore but found none. A northerner agrees to get copper from Tuscany in the south in trade for goats. With the good ore he is able to make copper. But the shinny metal has never been seen before and the knowledge of it is regarded as evil, and results in a fight to save his life from the judgement of the shaman.

Iceman Awakens by Sharon Krasny Pdf

Nine strikes and a few sparks. Thirteen strikes and a spark caught a little smoke, but I hurried and blew too much while jostling the needles. Focus, Gaspare. I felt the call deep within where my blood retreated to stay close to my heart. Focus. My head felt sluggish and my movements dragged with effort. Slowing my breathing I rearranged the needles on the bark and struck again--five strikes and the little spark became an ember. Gaspare, in the role of a young Ötzi the Iceman, desperate to confront his fate and honor his father, receives the ultimate sacrifice. At thirteen with a gifted calling and promise of prophecy, he must face his failures, fight the oppression from his brothers, and learn to live in a society that deemed him a curse. This is Gaspare, the reborn Iceman found murdered on the Ötzal mountains as he begins his tale that led him to that fateful day. From questions surrounding the mystery of Ötzi's mummy preserved from the Neolithic Era, this debut novel explores how he got some of his sixty-one tattoos, found his life's purpose in his copper axe, and how he lived. Iceman Awakens speaks of the timeless voices of love, destiny, and betrayal.

Not on My Watch by Alexandra Morton Pdf

NATIONAL BESTSELLER Alexandra Morton has been called "the Jane Goodall of Canada" because of her passionate thirty-year fight to save British Columbia's wild salmon. Her account of that fight is both inspiring in its own right and a roadmap of resistance. Alexandra Morton came north from California in the early 1980s, following her first love--the northern resident orca. In remote Echo Bay, in the Broughton Archipelago, she found the perfect place to settle into all she had ever dreamed of: a lifetime of observing and learning what these big-brained mammals are saying to each other. She was lucky enough to get there just in time to witness a place of true natural abundance, and learned how to thrive in the wilderness as a scientist and a single mother. Then, in 1989, industrial aquaculture moved into the region, chasing the whales away. Her fisherman neighbours asked her if she would write letters on their behalf to government explaining the damage the farms were doing to the fisheries, and one thing led to another. Soon Alex had shifted her scientific focus to documenting the infectious diseases and parasites that pour from the ocean farm pens of Atlantic salmon into the migration routes of wild Pacific salmon, and then to proving their disastrous impact on wild salmon and the entire ecosystem of the coast. Alex stood against the farms, first representing her community, then alone, and at last as part of an uprising that built around her as ancient Indigenous governance resisted a province and a country that wouldn't obey their own court rulings. She has used her science, many acts of protest and the legal system in her unrelenting efforts to save wild salmon and ultimately the whales--a story that reveals her own doggedness and bravery but also shines a bright light on the ways other humans doggedly resist the truth. Here, she brilliantly calls those humans to account for the sake of us all.

Otzi's Odyssey - The Troubled Soul of a Neolithic Iceman, opens in the year 1991 with the remarkable sighting of a mummified man, half frozen in glacial ice, whom two hikers stumble upon. Along with this profound archeological discovery, the soul of this five-thousand-year-old iceman is awakened.Otzi the iceman's adventure takes him to the modern era, where his observant soul tries to comprehend why it remains tethered to the frozen mummy, as well as to make sense of a technologically advanced world. The story then returns to 3300 BCE, to the life and times of clan chief Bhark as he lives with his family in a peaceful village upon stilt homes clinging to the shore of the great Lake Neith, located in the shadows of ominous Similaun Mountain.Bhark and his family are ambushed by his rival Shadrach, who insists that he, not Bhark, is the clan's rightful heir. A subsequent encounter with the soul hunter Creyak, who promises to return to Bhark all that was lost, sends our hero on a perilous journey into the four demonic realms of Gehenna. Along the way, he receives wisdom from Miko the Seer and guidance from his clairvoyant daughter, Amica, both of whom have the power to pierce the veil that separates the upper and lower spiritual realms, while Bhark fights for the salvation-and ultimate redemption-of his eternal soul.

Cryopolitics by Joanna Radin,Emma Kowal Pdf

The social, political, and cultural consequences of attempts to cheat death by freezing life. As the planet warms and the polar ice caps melt, naturally occurring cold is a resource of growing scarcity. At the same time, energy-intensive cooling technologies are widely used as a means of preservation. Technologies of cryopreservation support global food chains, seed and blood banks, reproductive medicine, and even the preservation of cores of glacial ice used to study climate change. In many cases, these practices of freezing life are an attempt to cheat death. Cryopreservation has contributed to the transformation of markets, regimes of governance and ethics, and the very relationship between life and death. In Cryopolitics, experts from anthropology, history of science, environmental humanities, and indigenous studies make clear the political and cultural consequences of extending life and deferring death by technoscientific means. The contributors examine how and why low temperatures have been harnessed to defer individual death through freezing whole human bodies; to defer nonhuman species death by freezing tissue from endangered animals; to defer racial death by preserving biospecimens from indigenous people; and to defer large-scale human death through pandemic preparedness. The cryopolitical lens, emphasizing the roles of temperature and time, provokes new and important questions about living and dying in the twenty-first century.
