Book Description
Silken skin pale against dark hair, red lips provocatively smiling at him—that’s how Lieutenant Bret Taylor remembered Lorraine. He was drunk when he married her, stone cold sober when he found her dead. Out on the sunlit streets of L.A. walked the man—her lover, her killer—who had been with her that fatal night. Taylor intended to find him. And when he did, the gun in his pocket would provide the quickest kind of justice. But first Taylor had to find something else: an elusive memory so powerful it drove him down three terrifying roads toward self-destruction—grief, ecstasty, and death.

Creativity and Art
Author: Margaret A. BodenPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191639893
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
Margaret Boden presents a series of essays in which she explores the nature of creativity in a wide range of art forms. Creativity in general is the generation of novel, surprising, and valuable ideas (conceptual, theoretical, musical, literary, or visual). Boden identifies three forms of creativity: combinational, exploratory, and transformational. These elicit differing forms of surprise, and are defined by the different kinds of psychological process that generate the new ideas. Boden examines creativity not only in traditional fine art, but also in craftworks, and some less orthodox approaches—namely, conceptual art and several types of computer art. Her Introduction draws out the conceptual links between the various case-studies, showing how they express a coherent view of creativity in art.

When Three Roads Collide

Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
No matter how difficult the situations you have faced or are facing, you can still overcome them. The things we go through are only shaping us to be able to receive the greater things that God has in store for us later in life. These situations are just pushing us into the purpose and destiny that God has for us. Life can sometimes be a struggle, and we may feel hopeless. Often, we go through things that we have no control over; things that were never our fault, and that we shouldn't have to go through. It's not fair. It's not pleasant. But this is the life that we live. This book tells the true story of two lives that spiraled through some of the most difficult things you can imagine during their childhood and teenage years. There was a lot of pain, a lot of hurt, a lot of disappointment, and most of all, a lot of hopelessness. Still—somehow—there was a glimmer of light. This is the story of the lives of Rev. Kenneth Pritchard Jr. and Rev. Sheika Pritchard and how, what seemed like the end of the world, turned out to be the handiwork of God's grace. Our story shows how God was able to work in our lives, and includes some advice about the kinds of support we needed when we first found our faith. Our story and the tools we describe could also help you, and those you know.

Meet the Conundrum...in the wheat fields of Washington, in vol.3 of "Fables of the Carpailtin Campfire." The Conundrum is where logic goes to die. It is the ultimate test of functioning in utter disorientation. Lewis Carroll would be proud, though, as his Alice, armed to the teeth this time, goes down the rabbit hole once more to play a deadly game of baseball, stand trial, chat with God and duel atop a runaway train.
