Book Description
Who Will Usher in Earth’s Final Days? Are we living in the end times? Is it possible that the players depicted in the book of Revelation could be out in force today? And if they are, would you know how to recognize them? In Agents of the Apocalypse, noted prophecy expert Dr. David Jeremiah does what no prophecy expert has done before. He explores the book of Revelation through the lens of its major players—the exiled, the martyrs, the elders, the victor, the king, the judge, the 144,000, the witnesses, the false prophet, and the beast. One by one, Dr. Jeremiah delves into their individual personalities and motives, and the role that each plays in biblical prophecy. Then he provides readers with the critical clues and information needed to recognize their presence and power in the world today. The stage is set, and the curtain is about to rise on Earth’s final act. Will you be ready?

Performing Specimens
Author: Gianna Bouchard
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350035688
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Through an examination of examples from performance, museum displays and popular culture that stage the body as a specimen, Performing Specimens maps the relations between these performative acts and the medical practices of collecting, storing and showing specimens in a variety of modes and contexts. Moving from an examination of the medical and historical contexts of specimen display in the museum and the anatomy theatre to contemporary performance, Gianna Bouchard engages with examples from live art, bio-art, popular culture and theatre that stage the performer's body as a specimen. It examines the ethical relationships involved in these particular moments of display – both in the staging and in how we look at the specimen body. This is a landmark study for those working in the fields of theatre, performance and the medical humanities, with a specific focus on the ethics of display and the ethics of spectatorship, emerging at the intersection of performance and medicine. Among the works and examples considered are 18th-century anatomical waxes from the Museo di Storia Naturale la Specola in Florence, Italy, and their contemporary version in the Bodyworlds exhibition of 'plastinated' corpses; organ retention scandals; current legislation, such as the Human Tissue Act 2004; the work of performance company Clod Ensemble and Stein|Holum Projects, the performer and disability activist, Mat Fraser and live artist, Martin O'Brien, alongside visual artists Helen Pynor and Peta Clancy , artists Peggy Shaw and ORLAN.

A collection of three fantasy novels by Aaron M. Fleming, B.R. Stateham & James Fuller, now available in one volume! Kingmaker: Hunter, a former soldier turned monk, and his partner Chekwe embark on a daring quest to steal Kingmaker, an enchanted sword of immense power, from the clutches of the oppressive Kistrill Empire. Along the way, they must navigate treacherous jungles and evade relentless enemies, including Hunter's determined sister Tennea and the resilient widow Dahlia. With the fate of kingdoms hanging in the balance, can Hunter protect Kingmaker while battling his inner demons, and resisting the allure of the sword's mysterious powers? Evil Arises: Roland of the High Crags is a warrior monk dedicated to protecting humanity from the forces of evil. For centuries, the Bretan monks have fought valiantly against the Dragon armies, but now Roland faces a new challenge. He is tasked with raising a young dragon princess, the ultimate weapon designed to annihilate humanity. Yet, Roland sees a glimmer of hope and dares to defy the prophecy, turning the tables on the gods themselves. In a world filled with treachery and betrayal, Roland embarks on an epic adventure to end the eternal war and forge a new path forward. Queen of the Seas: In a world ruled by men and gold, Callisto was no fool. If she wanted something, she had to take it by any means necessary, and it was because of her bold, unruly nature that everything she had dreamed for had changed. The life of a pirate had never been her dream, until the moment she seized control of the Poseidon’s Fury. Right there and then, it had become her destiny. One she had been born for. Chosen for. And one which men had begun to fear.

To protect the innocent and the weak, and to unflinchingly face his foes, no matter the odds.

It's a gamble filled with treachery and betrayal, but it is a chance to end the forever war. For Roland, there is no choice but to accept this role. And so, the adventure begins.

Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
"Animal Land surveys the role of humanized animals in the classic literature for children, and bodes well to become a classic in its own right. It is an entertaining and equally serious and remarkably thorough look into a collective literature which introduced us to our early friends in books. Animals tend to outlive humans in the imaginations of appreciators of children's books. And few of the character encountered in adult fiction seem to remain as vivid and complete in the mind as The Velveteen Rabbit, Babar, Brer Rabbit, Bambi, Black Beauty, and WInnie the Pooh. Meet them again here. Ponder them, because they will not leave us alone" --
