And how do they stop an evil prophet from planting it first?In a futuristic, yet recognizable Britain, the Transformation Age has begun. A time following the end of oil, where Mad Cow Disease ravages the land and divides the population into infected or uninfected camps.Hidden inside a cove near the small coastal village of Rye is a pearl with the ability to seed a blank planet. Rye has one of Englandâe(tm)s last uncontaminated fields and remains an edible food source. Jude, the microbiologist who originally predicted the BSE infection, has become Ryeâe(tm)s fanatical prophet. Jude protects his congregation of survivors, as well as the field, by enlisting mindless foot soldiers called Keepers. The Keepers believe they are the evolutionary torchbearers for a new and pure human race. However, Jude has a dark secret. He is a man possessed and his body is a conduit for the serpent from the Garden of Eden, who longs to find the pearl. Jude is brainwashing the survivors in order to suck out their souls, extract their DNA and create a terrible world of his own. Only a disfigured poet, a clairvoyant and a shape shifter can stop the murderous tirade of Jude and catapult the human race into the next stage of evolution. But will they exorcise their own demons in time or will misplaced love and jealously stand in the way of humanity?

Pages : 168
Book Description
This biography of one of the world's foremost demographers traces in addition to Ansley Coale's own life and work, the progress of worldwide demographic research in the 20th century. One chapter records the important work of his mentor, Frank Notestein, particularly on fertilty, and contraception's effect on it, as well as his founding of the Office of Population Research at Princeton, an institution vitally important in Ansley Coale's career. Coale's professional activities took him in such various directions as professor of economics at Princeton, studying population and economic development in low-income countries, research on the European Fertility Project, stabilizing analytical demography: including the study of stable populations, correcting bad data in the U.S. and other countries, and creating demographic models for mortality, fertility and marriage. As U.S. representative on the UN Population Commission he served as an advisor to Africa, Europe, Latin America and Asia and participated in the International Union for Scientific Study of Population. Coale directed the Office of Population Research between 1959 and 1973 and was Senior Research Demographer there until the late 1980s. One of his major focuses has been the social implications of atomic energy. He has received many honors and is the author of many articles and several books on population. Photos.

Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Ansley has been looking for his dragon since Byron was taken from him a hundred years ago. The sacrifice of his shield and the man he was in love with was necessary, but Ansley can’t find peace, and neither can the other five mages he considers his brothers, who also shared that sacrifice. They’ve been without their other half for so long that some of them have lost hope. But not Ansley. Parker has no memory beyond the past hundred years. He’s been moving every ten years or so because he’s not aging—which probably has to do with his ability to shift into a dragon—but this time around, it’s harder to leave everything behind. He doesn’t have a choice, though. When Ansley finally finds the right spell, it leads him straight to Byron. But Byron isn’t Byron anymore. A hundred years and no memories turned him into a new man. A man Ansley likes even more than he did Byron. Ansley’s job is to find the other five dragons, but with the threat that caused the mages to lose the dragons rising again, he might not be able to do it in time. And if he can’t, it could mean death for all of them.

Book Description
"It's not like I never thought about being mixed race. I guess it was just that, in Brooklyn, everyone was competing to be unique or surprising. By comparison, I was boring, seriously. Really boring." Culture shock knocks city girl Agnes "Nes" Murphy-Pujols off-kilter when she's transplanted mid–senior year from Brooklyn to a small Southern town after her mother's relationship with a coworker self-destructs. On top of the move, Nes is nursing a broken heart and severe homesickness, so her plan is simple: keep her head down, graduate and get out. Too bad that flies out the window on day one, when she opens her smart mouth and pits herself against the school's reigning belle and the principal. Her rebellious streak attracts the attention of local golden boy Doyle Rahn, who teaches Nes the ropes at Ebenezer. As her friendship with Doyle sizzles into something more, Nes discovers the town she's learning to like has an insidious undercurrent of racism. The color of her skin was never something she thought about in Brooklyn, but after a frightening traffic stop on an isolated road, Nes starts to see signs everywhere—including at her own high school where, she learns, they hold proms. Two of them. One black, one white. Nes and Doyle band together with a ragtag team of classmates to plan an alternate prom. But when a lit cross is left burning in Nes's yard, the alterna-prommers realize that bucking tradition comes at a price. Maybe, though, that makes taking a stand more important than anything.
