Book Description
Nicholas Grabowsky's award-winning, widely-praised aliens-among-us horror/science fiction epic, available for the first time packaged and edited the way it was intended to be! The Everborn concerns the offspring of fallen angels that have lived among us since the dawn of man. Throughout the ages, they live life after life in normal society until each one falls in love and fathers his own child. Before that child is born, they undergo a rapid degeneration into a fetal state before they disappear entirely and become reborn into a new life, essentially becoming their own fathers. All of them male, they live out their commonplace lives under the covert protection of Watchmaids, inter-dimensional female beings whose purpose is to ensure no harm comes to them under penalty of banishment into a state of eternal loneliness. When an Everborn is reborn as a set of twins, one a soulless serial killer on a quest to be born again into a sinless life and the other a kind-hearted ghostwriter for a world-famous rock-and-roll horror novelist, a banished Watchmaid claims her role in an ancient prophecy to use the soulless twin as a means to re-enter our world and bring about its destruction.

Physics
Author: Aristotle
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 9780192835864
Category : Physics
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
For many centuries, Aristotle's Physics was the essential starting point for anyone who wished to study the natural sciencesThis book begins with an analysis of change, which introduces us to Aristotle's central concepts of matter and form, before moving on to an account of explanation in the sciences and a defence of teleological explanation. Aristotle then turns to detailed, important, and often ingenious discussionsof notions such as infinity, place, void, time, and conintuity. He ends with an argument designed to show that the changes we experience in the world demand as their cause a single unchanging cause of all change, namely God.This is the first complete translation of Physics into English since 1930. It presents Aristotle's thought accurately, while at the same time simplifying and expanding the often crabbed and elliptical style of the original, so that it is very much easier to read. A lucid introduction and extensivenotes explain the general structure of each section of the book and shed light on particular problems.

Famous People
Author: Justin Kuritzkes
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company
ISBN: 1250309034
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
This fresh, smart novel in the guise of a celebrity memoir probes the inner life of a mega-famous pop star Honestly, what amazes me the most with a lot of the people I meet is that they think they’re so big. They think, ultimately, that the universe revolves around them. And I’m beginning to think that it’s only when you live a life like mine—it’s only when you’re in a position where you don’t even really own yourself, when you can’t even really say that you’re a citizen of any particular country—that you realize that we’re all just tiny pieces of cosmic dust floating through the void until we disappear forever and we’re never heard from again. So begins the life story of our uber famous twenty-two year old narrator. A teen idol since he was twelve, when a video of him singing went viral, his star has only risen since. Now, haunted by the suicide of his manager-father, unsettled by the very different paths he and his teenage love (and girl pop-star counterpart) “Mandy” have taken, and increasingly aware that he has signed on to something he has little control over, he begins to parse the divide that separates him from the “normal people” of the world. Sneakily philosophical, earnest and funny, Justin Kuritzkes's Famous People is a rollicking, unforgettable look at the clash between fame and the human condition.

Enshrouded
Author: Jeff Treder
Publisher: Tate Publishing
ISBN: 1620240890
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
" am, I think, every bit as interested in truth telling as you are. One truth is that I believe you may be capable—more capable, perhaps, than anyone else—of meeting a certain challenge I have for you. Which brings me,"she said with a real smile, "at long last to my proposition." Dr. Adam Hult is a very smart guy—former child prodigy, history professor at an elite university, and author of several bestsellers debunking popular but bunko ideas. He's not so smart in the area of finances, however, and is up to his ears in debt and in the crosshairs of the IRS. When a rich widow, Doris Ballaster, offers to bail him out if he can prove that the Shroud of Turin—allegedly the burial shroud of Jesus Christ—is really a medieval forgery, it looks like his problems may be over. Adam accepts her challenge—and her money—and so begins his unexpectedly hazardous world-traveling adventure. Some alarmingly unpleasant people don't seem to like what he's doing. But why not? And how far will they go in order to ensure that he doesn't uncover and publish the truth about the Shroud? In dire circumstances, Adam puts his fate into the hands of the beautiful and mysterious Sareen, a woman who seems to turn up wherever he is, whenever he needs her. But who is she really? And whose side is she on? Before long, the question isn't what Adam can prove about the Shroud, but whether he can avoid winding up Enshrouded himself.
