Book Description
We have outlawed slavery and eliminated serfdom (mostly) here on Earth. It is bad enough big corporations own most everything. But what do other species in the Galaxy think of Humans. Some think we are clever little monkeys good for pets, some think we can work, some just want strong slaves, and some think we are delicious. Our second-class status out there is maintained by the fact we have no home world. Lost a long time ago. No one told the people of Earth. Imagine our surprise when we find a way outward. But first we have to get there.Young people with brilliant ideas, a boneyard full of aerospace junk and a little clandestine backing of military men can accomplish great things even spaceships. Their lives have already known hardship and one even imprisoned as a sex slave. They fought hard to breakthrough and build a better world. Nation states that enslave its populous such as China, human traffickers and ancient evil can be defeated with attitude, determination and revolutionary technology. When they stubble on a gateway back into the Galaxy, imagination and clandestine skullduggery will be the weapons of choice.

Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
Trample on the dust of the Dead lightly...This sentiment, held by old-time Hoodoos and traditional Rootworkers, is a subtle reminder of the importance of observing certain behaviors while in a graveyard. Knock before entering. Be careful where you walk. Don't step on graves or sit on tombstones. Always ask before taking anything-even stones, flowers, sticks and leaves. Never leave trash, always greet the gatekeeper and always come prepared with a pocket full of pennies, silver dimes and a bottle of rum or whiskey. The important thing to remember is that you never just walk in and take something. You must always treat the spirits with respect; both the spirits of the deceased, as well as the guardians of the cemeteries and the psychopomps. Workin' in da Boneyard is a primer for conjurers seeking a tangible connection to their past, their ancestors and the Spirit World by working with graveyards and graveyard dirt. From practical issues of safety, choosing a cemetery, locating ancestral graves, reading gravestone signs and symbols, avoiding haints and hauntings, to gathering graveyard dirt and making goofer dust, Workin' in da Boneyard has the information needed for working effective graveyard conjure, as well as words of caution for the ill-prepared.

Neon Boneyard
Author: Judy Natal
Publisher: Center Books
ISBN:
Category : Color photography
Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
The garish glow of neon was part of what put Las Vegas on the map—quite literally. The city’s most distinctive form of expression, neon signs tell an elaborate story of the history of Las Vegas, from their debut in 1929 at the onset of the Depression, when their seductive tones lured travelers through the Mojave Desert to part with scarce dollars, to today, when their flickering glow is a vanishing facet of the gaudy spectacle that is contemporary Vegas. Established in 1996 to preserve Las Vegas’s underappreciated neon heritage, the Neon Boneyard houses many of the city's historic casino signs on a three-acre site at the edge of the city. The core of the collection of unrestored signage came from the pioneering Young Electric Sign Company, one of the first to produce neon signs in the area; but, in recent years, it has grown through donations from businesses and individuals who appreciate the key role played by neon in the growth of Las Vegas. Through Judy Natal’s photographs, the Neon Boneyard becomes a dynamic archaeological site that brings Vegas’s past to life in startling ways. The towering figure of Mr. O’Lucky becomes a home for the homeless, while the crumpled sign of a wedding chapel reflects the faded dreams of a lost paradise. Through such juxtapositions of success and failure, of past and present,Neon Boneyard: Las Vegas A–Zreturns us to an earlier image of Vegas, suffused with the warm, commercial glow of neon, lighting the desert and inventing modern nightlife.
