Pages : 311
Book Description
Two young boys coming from quite divergent backgrounds grow up in two dissimilar areas, geographically and economically. One grows up near a big city with a strong family structure and is indomitably influenced by his parochial education. The other boy grows up in a rural community and lives in an economically depressed environment. They live apart with no knowledge of the other but are bound by a gift – if one could call it that – a gift of Extra Sensory Perception – ESP. Jimmy, the lad who lives in Queens, New York, suffers dreams that give him a glimpse into the future, and it is not an enjoyable view. Indeed, these sojourns cause Jimmy a great deal of mental anguish. Benjamin lives in rural Pennsylvania and is abused by both his alcoholic father and his classmates. He is a loner and desperately isolated. He is relentlessly bullied both at home and at school and finally, through his dreams, envisages avenues for revenge. Ultimately, as they grow into young adulthood, their reveries begin to reveal the other and there is no doubt that they must meet and their eventual confrontation results in a shocking climax.

Partners in peril. Stanley thinks he's being stalked-but by whom, and why? Tom is determined to protect Stanley-but from what? Or is it really Tom who's being stalked? There are clues, to be sure, but they're like trying to to gather bits of mist, like chasing ghosts: words of love, left unsaid; a long ago injustice; a vanished child; a man, embittered. Memories, yes, but which of them are real, and which are only dreamed? With each new piece, the puzzle shifts, the picture changes.

Pages : 112
Book Description
Our love was written in blood, but our dream was born from death. Once upon a time, I had it all. Born heir apparent to one of the Six Families, I was destined for greatness. Wealth and power were in my blood, and sweet Thalia was one more means to an end. Until they banished me from the watchful city, stripping me of everything I possessed, my name, my home, all I'd come to hold dear, including the girl who was to be my wife. Now the day has come to take back what's mine. The girl is no longer a promise I need to protect, but a woman who I plan to devour. Wealth and power are in my blood, and sweet Thalia may very well be my end. Dreams of the Vengeful is the prologue to the Massacred Dreams series, ends in a cliffhanger, and is a dark mafia romance. It contains elements that may be triggering to some readers.

Book Description
Lee Hoyle - philosopher, man on the street or genius? Perhaps after reading this book you will make your own mind up. Unedited from his original manuscripts, this eBook contains a large number of 'mini articles' with Lee's thoughts on everything from films to planets, cranes to drugs and almost everything inbetween.

Toxic Timescapes
Author: Simone M. Müller
Publisher: Ohio University Press
ISBN: 0821447874
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
An interdisciplinary environmental humanities volume that explores human-environment relationships on our permanently polluted planet. While toxicity and pollution are ever present in modern daily life, politicians, juridical systems, media outlets, scholars, and the public alike show great difficulty in detecting, defining, monitoring, or generally coming to terms with them. This volume’s contributors argue that the source of this difficulty lies in the struggle to make sense of the intersecting temporal and spatial scales working on the human and more-than-human body, while continuing to acknowledge race, class, and gender in terms of global environmental justice and social inequality. The term toxic timescapes refers to this intricate intersectionality of time, space, and bodies in relation to toxic exposure. As a tool of analysis, it unpacks linear understandings of time and explores how harmful substances permeate temporal and physical space as both event and process. It equips scholars with new ways of creating data and conceptualizing the past, present, and future presence and possible effects of harmful substances and provides a theoretical framework for new environmental narratives. To think in terms of toxic timescapes is to radically shift our understanding of toxicants in the complex web of life. Toxicity, pollution, and modes of exposure are never static; therefore, dose, timing, velocity, mixture, frequency, and chronology matter as much as the geographic location and societal position of those exposed. Together, these factors create a specific toxic timescape that lies at the heart of each contributor’s narrative. Contributors from the disciplines of history, human geography, science and technology studies, philosophy, and political ecology come together to demonstrate the complex reality of a toxic existence. Their case studies span the globe as they observe the intersection of multiple times and spaces at such diverse locations as former battlefields in Vietnam, aging nuclear-weapon storage facilities in Greenland, waste deposits in southern Italy, chemical facilities along the Gulf of Mexico, and coral-breeding laboratories across the world.

Palmerston

Book Description
A grand and fascinating figure in Victorian politics, the charismatic Lord Palmerston (1784-1865) served as foreign secretary for fifteen years and prime minister for nine, engaged in struggles with everyone from the Duke of Wellington to Lord John Russell to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, engineered the defeat of the Russians in the Crimean War, and played a major role in the development of liberalism and the Liberal Party. This comprehensive biography, informed by unprecedented research in the statesman's personal archives, gives full weight not only to Palmerston's foreign policy achievements, but also to his domestic political activity, political thought, life as a landlord, and private life and affairs. Through the lens of the milieu of his times, the book pinpoints for the first time the nature and extent of Palmerston's contributions to the making of modern Britain.
