Book Description
After years as a poster boy for space station children, Bill Smiths orderly life is turned inside out by events that defy rational reason. His natural pension for physical interaction with fellow crew members and his innate technical abilities are strained to the breaking point in his need to protect his sanity, if not his actual life. To overcome what appear to be impossible odds and a clear organized conspiracy at the highest levels of government, Bill and his nemesis, Juanita Alvarez, become entangled in a roller-coaster ride of stress and emotional involvement, bordering on a criminal conspiracy of their own. What appears to be wrong becomes right, what appears to be bad becomes good, and what appears to be legal becomes truly illegal. In this epic battle of right and wrong, our characters moral and physical strengths are tested to the breaking point. In the end, the never-ending struggle of all living things to exist and prosper is confirmed without regard for mankinds concept of right or wrong. Open the front cover, immerse yourself in the unfolding story, and pray for a revelation. I think you will find it very hard to put down.

The History of the 51st (Highland) Division, 1914-1918
Author: Frederick William Bewsher
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN:
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
If it were possible for the General who for three years commanded all the British Divisions in France, and was served with equal gallantry, devotion, and success by each, to admit a predilection for any of them, my affection would naturally turn to the Division that drew so many of its recruits from the same part of Scotland where my boyhood was spent and my own people lived. Those who read the pages of this book will find therein a tale of patient endeavour and glorious achievement of which I claim a good right to be as proud as any of my fellow-countrymen. The 51st Division does not need to boast of its prowess or its record. It can point to the story of its deeds, plainly and simply told, and leave the world to judge.

A familiar compound ghost
Author: Sarah Annes Brown
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526125412
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
A Familiar Compound Ghost explores the relationship between allusion and the uncanny in literature. An unexpected echo or quotation in a new text can be compared to the sudden appearance of a ghost or mysterious double, the reanimation of a corpse, or the discovery of an ancient ruin hidden in a modern city. In this scholarly and suggestive study, Brown identifies moments where this affinity between allusion and the uncanny is used by writers to generate a particular textual charge, where uncanny elements are used to flag patterns of allusion and to point to the haunting presence of an earlier work. A Familiar Compound Ghost traces the subtle patterns of connection between texts centuries, even millennia apart, from Greek tragedy and Latin epic, through the plays of Shakespeare and the Victorian novel, to contemporary film, fiction and poetry. Each chapter takes a different uncanny motif as its focus: doubles, ruins, reanimation, ghosts and journeys to the underworld.

To begin with, an icon generates strong responses in people, it often stands for a group of values (John Wayne), it reflects forces of its time, it can be reshaped or extended by imitation, and it often breaks down barriers between various segments of American culture, such as those that exist between white and black America, or between high and low art. The essays contained in this set examine all these aspects of American icons from a variety of perspectives and through a lively range of rhetoric styles.
