Monsters in the Woods
Author: RJ Smith
Publisher: Storyteller Entertainment, LLC
ISBN: 0996695311
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
THERE IS a war brewing and humanity is fighting for survival against the scourge of an alien reptilian race. But only the pure blood of a teenager can save the people of Mother Earth. In touch with a distant galaxy, he must enlist the help of newly discovered friends in order to fight the creatures in another dimension. Gaining special gifts in a distant and dangerous realm, the boys are readied for the ultimate fight to save the universe. Discovering magic, and learning how to use their newly acquired superpowers, the boys must unite with a band of giant Cyclops and small red-skinned aliens during one of the worst blizzards to ever hit the northeast. This novel tells of the fiends who stalk the darkness, creatures who snatch the flesh from the living. Monsters in the Woods is an unrelenting and ferocious tale of a monstrous race invading our planet and the all-out war that follows. Monsters is a heart-stopping rollercoaster ride of suspense, an adventure for those with enormous imaginations! After all, I want you uncomfortable, biting the tips of your fingernails down to the bloody nubs, grinding your teeth in a fit of vicious nerves, afraid to look under the bed. That’s bliss for me, watching as you shift your eyes from side to side, a nervous glance, a terrified expression planted on your face. That’s where I need you, horrified at the thud outside the window, a rustling in the back of your dark bedroom’s closet… a noise in the next room. I should explain, this EPIC tale has roots in reality. It sprouts from honest to God reports of green and scaly creatures documented throughout humanity’s history. This telling speaks of what if? And oh my! Not long ago, I happened across a Hopi legend that warned of reptilian creatures who were said to have lived hundreds of feet below what is now downtown Hollywood. Many claim it’s the stuff of science fiction. Yet could it really be true? When I first heard of the lizard people and their alleged existence during my annual pilgrimage to the International UFO Congress’ Annual Symposium held at the We-Ko-Pa Resort and Conference Center in Fountain Hills, Arizona, I had to wonder…could there really be something to this tale? Keep in mind, scientists believe there are one-hundred-billion stars in our galaxy and ten-trillion galaxies in the observable universe. That means there are about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (a-thousand-quintillions or one sextillion) stars out there! It is believed that 7.6% of those are Class-G stars like our own sun. That’s important because it is estimated that almost all Class-G stars support at least one planet in which life must exist. The Universe is believed to be teeming with life! If that is such, couldn’t there be other life forms like E.T. out there somewhere? And, If so, why is it so fundamentally insane to suppose they’ve been coming to Earth since the beginning of mankind to manipulate our DNA, hunt or live among us?

The Human Mind
Author: Lord Robert Winston
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1448168686
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 524
Book Description
It is the most complex and mysterious object in the universe. Covered by a dull grey membrane, it resembles a gigantic, convoluted fungus. Its inscrutability has captivated scientists, philosophers and artists for centuries. It is, of course, the human brain. With the help of science we can now begin to understand the extraordinary complexity of the brain's circuits: we can see which nerve cells generate electricity as we fall in love, tell a lie or dream of a lottery win. And inside the 100 billion cells of this rubbery network is something remarkable: you. In this entertaining and accessible book, Robert Winston takes us deep into the workings of the human mind and shows how our emotions and personality are the result of genes and environment. He explains how memories are formed and lost, how the ever-changing brain is responsible for toddler tantrums and teenage angst, plus he reveals the truth behind extra-sensory perception, déjà vu and out-of-body experiences. He also tells us how to boost our intelligence, how to tap into creative powers we never knew we had, how to break old habits and keep our brain fit and active as we enter old age. The human mind is all we have to help us to understand it. Paradoxically, it is possible that science may never quite explain everything about this extraordinary mechanism that makes each of us unique.

Avidly Reads Making Out
Author: Kathryn Bond Stockton
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 147984327X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
“Here’s the thing with kissing: it matters intensely or not at all.” Mid-kiss, do you ever wonder who you are, who you’re kissing, where it’s leading? It can feel luscious, libidinal, friendly, but are we trying to make out something through our kissing? For Kathryn Bond Stockton, making out is a prism through which to look at the cultural and political forces of our world: race, economics, childhood, books, and movies. Making Out is Stockton’s memoir about a non-binary childhood before that idea existed in her world. We think about kissing as we accompany Stockton to the bedroom, to the closet, to the playground, to the movies, and to solitary moments with a book, the ultimate source of pleasure. Avidly Reads is a series of short books about how culture makes us feel. Founded in 2012 by Sarah Blackwood and Sarah Mesle, Avidly—an online magazine supported by the Los Angeles Review of Books—specializes in short-form critical essays devoted to thinking and feeling. Avidly Reads is an exciting new series featuring books that are part memoir, part cultural criticism, each bringing to life the author’s emotional relationship to a cultural artifact or experience. Avidly Reads invites us to explore the surprising pleasures and obstacles of everyday life.

Publisher: HMH

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
A travel writer is drawn into a strange criminal case, and an even stranger romantic affair, in a novel that brings India “brilliantly, blazingly to life” (The Washington Post). When Jerry Delfont, an aimless, blocked travel writer, receives a letter from an American philanthropist, Mrs. Merrill Unger, he is intrigued. She informs him about a scandal, involving an Indian friend of her son’s. Who is the dead boy, found on the floor of a cheap hotel room? How and why did he die? And what is Jerry to make of a patch of carpet, and a package containing a human hand? Jerry is swiftly captivated by the beautiful, mysterious Mrs. Unger—and revived by her tantric massages—but the circumstances surrounding the dead boy cause him increasingly to doubt the woman’s motives and the exact nature of her philanthropy. Without much to go on, Jerry pursues answers from the teeming streets of Calcutta to Uttar Pradesh. It is a dark and twisted trail of obsession and need. From the author of The Great Railway Bazaar, A Dead Hand is offers “an abundance of richly drawn characters . . . Theroux has used his travel writer’s eye and ear and his novelist’s imagination to craft a tense, disturbing, funny and horrifying book around all of them” (San Francisco Chronicle). “The real pleasure is Theroux’s talent for rendering place and his irreverent comments on everything from the British royals to pop culture, aging, and yes, the venerable Mother Teresa.” —Publishers Weekly
