Book Description
Somewhere in the South Pacific Ocean in the year 2020, a mysterious group called "The Elite" has claimed an island formed by an extinct volcano, creating two small countries on the small spit of land. The Upper Country is a high-tech, totally green civilization void of individual rights and freedoms. The Lower Country is an agricultural medieval monarchy that shows respect for individual rights. The Elite created these two isolated countries as a social experiment. By removing the variable of religion, the Elite wants to prove its thesis: In the absence of knowledge of any gods, humans will develop in predictable ways. Philosophical and religious cults eventually come into being, which is one of the results the Elite predicted with this island experiment. A team of specialists called Serpents is sent in to destroy the cults. The five books in this amazing new series tell about the four people who become the family of Serpents. The Island Experiment: The Beginnings of the Inner Circle - Book One: Marshall's Story details the life of Marshall, the first of the four Serpents. Marshall is a man who found his lost soul and so much more. Upcoming books tell the stories of Dina, a woman who found a way to see into her own heart; Krystal, an adult child who found the courage to act alone; and Angel, an adolescent child and a cult survivor who finds freedom. About the Author: Now retired, Journeyman Angel is a full-time grandpa living in Michigan. "My characters are fragments of myself. Each and every character resembles me in character and personality in some way." http: //SBPRA.com/JourneymanAngel

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The first official Minecraft novel! The author of World War Z tells the story of a hero—stranded in the world of Minecraft—who must unravel the secrets of a mysterious island in order to survive. “A rollicking adventure yarn; Robinson Crusoe for the digital age.”—NPR Washed up on a beach, the lone castaway looks around the shore. Where am I? Who am I? And why is everything made of blocks? But there isn’t much time to soak up the sun. It’s getting dark, and there’s a strange new world to explore! The top priority is finding food. The next is not becoming food. Because there are others out there on the island . . . like the horde of zombies that appears after nightfall. Crafting a way out of this mess is a challenge like no other. Who could build a home while running from exploding creepers, armed skeletons, and an unstoppable tide of hot lava?

Book Description
Why discovering the limits to science may be the most powerful discovery of allHow much can we know about the world? In this book, physicist Marcelo Gleiser traces our search for answers to the most fundamental questions of existence, the origin of the universe, the nature of reality, and the limits of knowledge. In so doing, he reaches a provocative conclusion: science, like religion, is fundamentally limited as a tool for understanding the world.

Pages : 53
Book Description
Fearless necessary reporting . . . Klein exposes the ‘battle of utopias’ that is currently unfolding in storm-ravaged Puerto Rico” (Junot Díaz, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao) “We are in a fight for our lives. Hurricanes Irma and María unmasked the colonialism we face in Puerto Rico, and the inequality it fosters, creating a fierce humanitarian crisis. Now we must find a path forward to equality and sustainability, a path driven by communities, not investors. And this book explains, with careful and unbiased reporting, only the efforts of our community activists can answer the paramount question: What type of society do we want to become and who is Puerto Rico for?” —Carmen Yulín Cruz, Mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico In the rubble of Hurricane Maria, Puerto Ricans and ultrarich “Puertopians” are locked in a pitched struggle over how to remake the island. In this vital and startling investigation, bestselling author and activist Naomi Klein uncovers how the forces of shock politics and disaster capitalism seek to undermine the nation’s radical, resilient vision for a “just recovery.” All royalties from the sale of this book in English and Spanish go directly to JunteGente, a gathering of Puerto Rican organizations resisting disaster capitalism and advancing a fair and healthy recovery for their island. “Klein chronicles the extraordinary grassroots resistance by the Puerto Rican people against neoliberal privatization and Wall Street greed in the aftermath of the island’s financial meltdown, of hurricane devastation, and of Washington’s imposition of an outside control board over the most important U.S. colony.” —Juan González, cohost of Democracy Now! and author of Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America
