Burner
Author: Richard Thomas
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595385095
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Burner is the study-in-motion of Isaac BenGurian, a cerebral, tortured man to whom both Socrates and Attila the Hun would offer a respectful nod. His grasp of the physical sciences, computer technology, and literature is unparalleled. But these "tricks of the mind" do not nourish his pride, nor do they define him with any degree of accuracy. To know him, one must look to the nightmare of his personal history, and to the leisure-time pursuit for which he has developed a considerable passion: Isaac roots out modern-day "monsters"-sociopaths who are above the law in every practical sense, men who rejoice in the abuse of their power-and revels in the simple joy of dispatching them. Attention to detail has always placed him beyond the reach of the law. But Isaac has just made the costly mistake of compassion, and his error has left a trail that is being followed by the crime family of his latest victim. And another, far more adept, tracker has taken up the trail: An "artificial intelligence" program, developed by a humble Princeton scientist and funded by the US government, has been assigned to find him, and its analytical abilities far surpass his own.

Pages : 223
Book Description
Twelve Moons in One Night is a reflection of different points reached at various times within a year. A section within the tunnel of the life we must all individually walk down to find the key to the moon inside. From the different white noises within the halls to the time we sit all alone and wonder about the world, people's actions, and views to the way of mankind. Happiness, sadness, and anger fill my mind within these reflecting views of the world outside. Changing different views is a hard concept to discover within ourselves and others. Twelve Moons in One Night is just a collection of my own thoughts from day to day caught within the spirits of the moon. At times we have all sat in the same tunnel of the mind.

The Psychotherapist as Healer
Author: T. Byram Karasu
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0765703025
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
The eleven essays in this volume probe multicultural interactions between Indians, Europeans, and Africans in eastern North America's frontier zones from the late colonial era to the end of the early republic. Focusing on contact points between these groups, they construct frontiers as creative arenas that produced new forms of social and political organization. Contributors to the volume offer fresh perspectives on a succession of frontier encounters from the era of the Seven Years' War in Pennsylvania, New York, and South Carolina to the Revolutionary period in the Ohio Valley to the Mississippi basin in the early national era. Drawing on ethnography, cultural and literary criticism, border studies, gender theory, and African American studies, they open new ways of looking at intercultural contact in creating American identities. Collectively, the essays in Contact Points challenge ideas of either acculturation or conquest, highlighting instead the complexity of various frontiers while demonstrating their formative influence in American history. The contributors are Stephen Aron, Andrew R. L. Cayton, Gregory E. Dowd, John Mack Faragher, William B. Hart, Jill Lepore, James H. Merrell, Jane T. Merritt, Lucy Eldersveld Murphy, Elizabeth A. Perkins, Claudio Saunt, and Fredrika J. Teute.
