The problem is, the object of his sudden infatuation isn't exactly normal.

However, when the man passed in front of the girl next to Michael, it made a noise that was slightly different for the first time. The scientist waved it in front of her again, before realizing the change in sound only happened when he neared one side of her - the side closest to Michael. The guy then proceeded to waved it in front of him, revealing that the slight change in static would disappear the moment he held it far enough to the other side. Michael wasn't sure how to react, having no idea the significance of the test, but now all eyes were on him.Demon Seer is a full-length novel: ~ 80,000 words.Genre: Paranormal FantasyIt is Book 1 in a massive plot involving three separate storylines with overlapping characters.

Out of One, Many
Author: Jennifer T. Roberts
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691181470
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
A sweeping new account of ancient Greek culture and its remarkable diversity Covering the whole of the ancient Greek experience from its beginnings late in the third millennium BCE to the Roman conquest in 30 BCE, Out of One, Many is an accessible and lively introduction to the Greeks and their ways of living and thinking. In this fresh and witty exploration of the thought, culture, society, and history of the Greeks, Jennifer Roberts traces not only the common values that united them across the seas and the centuries, but also the enormous diversity in their ideas and beliefs. Examining the huge importance to the Greeks of religion, mythology, the Homeric epics, tragic and comic drama, philosophy, and the city-state, the book offers shifting perspectives on an extraordinary and astonishingly creative people. Century after century, in one medium after another, the Greeks addressed big questions, many of which are still very much with us, from whether gods exist and what happens after we die to what political system is best and how we can know what is real. Yet for all their virtues, Greek men set themselves apart from women and foreigners and profited from the unpaid labor of enslaved workers, and the book also looks at the mixed legacy of the ancient Greeks today. The result is a rich, wide-ranging, and compelling history of a fascinating and profoundly influential culture in all its complexity—and the myriad ways, good and bad, it continues to shape us today.
