Book Description
The Pearl of Spirituality Shines Brightest Amidst the Heart of Darkness. Darkness haunts Sherry Whittington. To the outside world, she's a typical thirty-seven-year old woman. Inwardly, she battles schizophrenia, but when Sherry discovers she is also psychically gifted, it is one more burden she must endure. Cadence McShane is an FBI remote viewer on a covert mission in West Texas trying to find an ancient crystal capable of mass destruction. When the search leads him to Sherry, Cadence is stunned when she intuits his true identity but he quickly exploits her psychic ability to his advantage. Together, driven by a chemistry neither of them can deny, Cadence and Sherry race to uncover the crystal before domestic terrorists can use it in on U.S. soil. The pair's every move is being anticipated by the terrorist group’s strong arm, Morda, a sadistic hermaphrodite who feeds upon chaos. Sherry is no match for Morda or his twisted obsession of wreaking havoc upon all those that enter his path. Armed with only childlike spiritual guidance and the backfiring curses of a vengeful psychic, Sherry must accept and embrace her new ability if she and Cadence are to overcome Morda and reach the crystal first. Drawing readers into a compelling and twisted world dominated by deceit and intrigue, Dark Horizon introduces a sadistic villain battling a damaged heroine struggling with her own sanity and faith.

Frank Capra's Eastern Horizons
Author: Elizabeth Rawitsch
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857737074
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Frank Capra has long had a reputation as being the quintessential American director - the man who perfectly captured the identity and core values of the United States with a string of classic films in the 1930s and '40s, including It Happened One Night, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and It's a Wonderful Life. However, as Elizabeth Rawitsch argues, Capra's construction of national identity did not occur within an exclusively national context. She points out that many of his films are actually set in, or include sequences set in, China, Latin America, the Philippines and the South Seas. Featuring in-depth textual analysis supported by original archival research, Frank Capra's Eastern Horizons explains that Capra's view of what constituted 'America' changed over time, extending its boundaries to embrace countries often far from the United States. Complicating Edward Said's theory of Orientalism as a strict binary in which the West constructs the East as an inferior 'other', it demonstrates that East and West often intermingle in films such as The Bitter Tea of General Yen and in Capra's orientation documentaries for World War II American servicemen; Capra imagined a kind of global community, albeit one with heavy undertones of British and American imperialism. Investigating shifts in what Capra's America has meant over time, both to Capra and to those who have watched and studied his films, this innovative book offers a startlingly fresh perspective on one of the most iconic figures in American film history.

Beyond the Biblical Horizon
Author: J.Cheryl Exum
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004664432
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
Recent years have witnessed an upsurge of interest in relating the Bible to the worlds of literature and the visual arts. How is the Bible portrayed in the arts and how do the arts affect what we know, or think we know, about the Bible? In this provocative and wide-ranging collection, the eight contributors engage in a lively and fruitful conversation with the work of novelists, artists, filmmakers, and critics. Topics treated in this collection include the Bible and film, from Frank Capra movies of the 30s and 40s to such Hollywood epics as The Robe and The Ten Commandments; the Bible and literature, focusing particularly on the story of David and Bathsheba in recent fiction; and the Bible and painting, with specific studies of Rembrandt as painter and etcher and the twentieth-century German artist Lovis Corinth and more generalized discussion of paintings of King David throughout the centuries and the representation of the sexuality of Jesus in Renaissance art. Contributors include Joel Rosenberg, Erica Sheen, Martin O'Kane, Ilse Müllner, Johannes Taschner, Clive Marsh, J. Cheryl Exum, and David Jasper.

Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman: Conservation Heroes of the American Heartland
Author: Miriam Horn
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 039324735X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Now a feature-length documentary on the Discovery channel narrated by Tom Brokaw. “Lush, gorgeously written…A profoundly hopeful book.” —Tina Rosenberg, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award A Kirkus Best Book of 2016 Many of the men and women doing today’s most consequential environmental work—restoring America’s grasslands, wildlife, soil, rivers, wetlands, and oceans—would not call themselves environmentalists; they would be too uneasy with the connotations of that word. What drives them is their deep love of the land: the iconic terrain where explorers and cowboys, pioneers and riverboat captains forged the American identity. They feel a moral responsibility to preserve this heritage and natural wealth, to ensure that their families and communities will continue to thrive. Unfolding as a journey down the Mississippi River, Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman tells the stories of five representatives of this stewardship movement: a Montana rancher, a Kansas farmer, a Mississippi riverman, a Louisiana shrimper, and a Gulf fisherman. In exploring their work and family histories and the essential geographies they protect, Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman challenges pervasive and powerful myths about American and environmental values.
