Book Description
In a white trash Arizona town a war is coming, a battle for territory between rival drug cartels. Both sides refuse to be taken out easily, but when one seeks help from the blackest of magic, something else comes through too: The Shadow Man, a demon of ancient evil who seeks more than just a stretch of the Arizona border, is set free. He wishes to open the gates to his Kingdom, and to bring suffering and chaos. In a walk-in freezer, a man with loose ties to the cartels gets a glimpse at the approaching darkness and is left poisoned by it. His only hope is a young woman named Adriana, and her grandmother. But when the Shadow Man sets his sights on Adriana, his intentions become clear. He has come to claim what he believes is already his, and to unleash Hell upon the Earth.

Pandemonium
Author: Branden Hookway
Publisher: New York : Princeton Architectural Press ; Houston : Rice University School of Architecture
ISBN:
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
In our global society, information processing transpires so quickly that it is essentially timeless, and communication systems have become indistinguishable from the act of communication itself. The medium, once the message, is now invisible, resulting in new methods for wielding power in our decentralized environment. Pandemonium explores the new techniques of control underlying our digital culture. Topics discussed include the transformation of relations between labor and machines in cybernetic and informational environments, and the reorganization of the urban fabric according to new methods of communication flow. This title is conceived as a photo roman in which the design, in collaboration with Bruce Man Design, plays as great a role as the text. It includes forewords by Lars Lerup and Bruce Man and an introduction by Sanford Kwinter.

Change and Delusion
Author: Steve Legomsky
Publisher: BookLocker.com, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Can we humans change who we really are? The characters in this collection of 20 short stories – some mostly humorous and some mostly poignant – come in all shapes and sizes. Some of the characters, unsatisfied with who they are, consciously present a false image to others or unconsciously deceive even themselves. Other characters fully accept and even embrace their own fundamental natures, often after brief detours. Some others make earnest attempts to change who they are, with varying degrees of success. And still others transform unconsciously, for better or for worse. Is it possible to sense which people will meet which fates? In the final story, the characters from all the preceding stories meet each other for the first time at a “reunion.” Hailing from different places, different cultural backgrounds, and even some different historical eras, and with a diverse array of personalities and insecurities, they clash at times. In the process they do some serious soul-searching. Have they really changed? Are either their self-images or the images they’ve presented to others realistic, or are they delusional? In the end the characters unite in a near-consensus, mocking and railing against the author for having portrayed them in an unflattering light. The author’s few fictional defenders liken fiction writers to gods, to whom they owe their very existence. The reunion ends with a surprising twist.

Arizona's Deadliest Gunfight
Author: Heidi J. Osselaer
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806161426
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
On a cold winter morning, Jeff Power was lighting a fire in his remote Arizona cabin when he heard a noise, grabbed his rifle, and walked out the front door. Someone in the dark shouted, “Throw up your hands!” Shots rang out from inside and outside the cabin, and when it was all over, Jeff’s sons, Tom and John, emerged to find the sheriff and his two deputies dead, and their father mortally wounded. Arizona’s deadliest shoot-out happened not in 1881, but in 1918 as the United States plunged into World War I, and not in Tombstone, but in a remote canyon in the Galiuro Mountains northeast of Tucson. Whereas previous accounts have portrayed the gun battle as a quintessential western feud, historian Heidi J. Osselaer explodes that myth and demonstrates how the national debate over U.S. entry into the First World War divided society at its farthest edges, creating the political and social climate that lead to this tragedy. A vivid, thoroughly researched account, Arizona’s Deadliest Gunfight describes an impoverished family that wanted nothing to do with modern civilization. Jeff Power had built his cabin miles from the nearest settlement, yet he could not escape the federal government’s expanding reach. The Power men were far from violent criminals, but Jeff had openly criticized the Great War, and his sons had failed to register for the draft. To separate fact from dozens of false leads and conspiracy theories, Osselaer traced the Power family’s roots back several generations, interviewed descendants of the shoot-out’s participants, and uncovered previously unknown records. What happened to Tom and John Power afterward is as stirring and tragic a story as the gunfight itself. Weaving together a family-based local history with national themes of wartime social discord, rural poverty, and dissent, Arizona’s Deadliest Gunfight will be the authoritative account of the 1918 incident and the memorable events that unfolded in its wake.

Paradise Valley Architecture

ISBN: 1439643431
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Three surveyors in the late 19th century were so attracted to the areas desert beauty that they named it the Paradise Valley. Starting in the 1920s, adobe homes were constructed in various revival styles. In 1936, the Camelback Inn resort set a high-quality standard with an inviting and relaxed character. Other guest lodges arrived, including the Hermosa Inn and the El Chorro Lodge. The 1950s brought more luxurious resorts, including the Paradise Valley Racquet Club and the Mountain Shadows Resort. With the threat of Phoenix or Scottsdale annexing the area, the citizens started debating incorporation in 1949 and were successful in 1961. Churches, schools, town facilities, and single-family homes followed. Numerous town ordinances were adopted to preserve a quiet, desert lifestyle such as burying all utilities, restrictive zoning, and hillside preservation.

Book Description
A-Z spirits, "Talking Demons," guarantees the reader a better understanding of the origin of sin and evil, and how it negatively affects the entire world. For this Book, I had to first envision an angel society of workers, a quarrel or conflict taking place between God and Satan, the war between good and evil spirits, and Satan and his angels expulsion from heaven. The Bible does not record Satan's words, because the Bible is the word of God. However, knowing of the devil's hateful spirit, I could only imagine "the words of Satan.” After reading this book, you will find that all of what he has to say is so familiar.
