Book Description
The Four Stones are believed to have been created years ago by four of our gods as a punishment for the humans misdeeds. Either that or they wanted to see what kind of choices we would make once we found them. Diaty, The Goddess of Time, Hydrona, The Goddess of Crashing waves, Cyclos, The God of Tearing Winds, and Zenarith, The God of Incinerating Flames all poured a small ounce of their power into the Four Stones. They were thinking correctly if they believed that we would destroy each other in our lusts for their power. The gods were horrible. Why create something that we would do nothing but destroy each other with? Or is there more to it than that...

Book Description
Jump Up – The Rise of the Rolling Stones was originally a coffee-table illustrated softback that traced the band's first ten years from 1963 onwards. Now available in digital format for the first time since it was published in 1995, the book, taken from author Nigel Goodall's original unedited manuscript, assembles an amazing picture of the first decade of the ‘Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band In the World’ – and includes details of previously unheard interviews with the Stones and with all those that knew and worked with them during the period the book covers. Hailed as one of the first biographies to potray a vivid and dramatic telling of the early life and career of the band, the book covers everything from Jagger and Richards meeting on Dartford Railway Station to the early days of playing West London blues clubs, the package tours, the drug busts, the women, the death of Brian Jones, the beginning of the sticky 70s and the major stadium gigs.

Stinking Stones and Rocks of Gold
Author: Shepherd W. McKinley
Publisher: University Press of Florida
ISBN: 0813063388
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
South Carolina Historical Society George C. Rogers Jr. Book Award "A solid contribution."--Journal of American History "An insightful analysis of the rise of the phosphate and fertilizer industries in the South Carolina lowcountry."--Business History Review "Places the rise of these industries in the context of the struggle for southern economic leadership in the years following the Civil War. . . . A well-written, engaging history."--Journal of Economic History "McKinley posits that the fertilizer industry emancipated former planter elites from the slave-based antebellum economy. . . . Ultimately, manufactured fertilizer contributed to fundamental changes in southern agriculture."--American Historical Review "A significant contribution to the story of industrialization in the New South."--Choice "Illustrates how South Carolina’s abundant phosphate deposits bred vibrant mining and fertilizer industries in Charleston and adjacent environs that helped reshape land, labor, and economy in the heartland of the former Confederacy."--Journal of Southern History "A finely layered and important study that fills in gaps in the industrial history of the New South and especially low-country South Carolina."--Sidney Bland, author of Preserving Charleston's Past, Shaping Its Future: The Life and Times of Susan Pringle Frost "Skillfully blurs the old, comfortable line between Old and New South economies and paints a nuanced picture of the new labor relations in the post-slavery era."--Charles Holden, author of In the Great Maelstrom In the first book ever written about the impact of phosphate mining on the South Carolina plantation economy, Shepherd McKinley explains how the convergence of the phosphate and fertilizer industries carried long-term impacts for America and the South. Fueling the rapid growth of lowcountry fertilizer companies, phosphate mining provided elite plantation owners a way to stem losses from emancipation. At the same time, mining created an autonomous alternative to sharecropping, enabling freed people to extract housing and labor concessions. Stinking Stones and Rocks of Gold develops an overarching view of what can be considered one of many key factors in the birth of southern industry. This top-down, bottom-up history (business, labor, social, and economic) analyzes an alternative path for all peoples in the post-emancipation South.
