'In Valerian' is a series of eight stories linked by characters who time-travel, narrate or dream their way into other lives and eras, or carelessly lose important journals or documents for future friends to find. These characters are an unruly bunch, creating an affinity between the modern, the ancient and the archaic, returning with a vengeance just when the reader thinks he or she has left them safely behind.

The year is 1723 and the condemned pirate, William Benton, awaits his appointment with death at Execution dock. To pass the time he recounts tales of his adventures to the naïve young journalist, Nathaniel Bagshaw, who hopes to publish a popular book on pirate histories.Benton's story begins in 1718, when the pirate stronghold of Nassau is under threat and its inhabitants are torn between accepting the King's pardon or continuing their precarious life as sea rovers. Captain Gunnarsson and his crew choose the latter and are forced to flee a place they once called home. Their luck seems to change when they sight a Spanish galleon separated from the treasure fleet by a storm, but during the pursuit their ship, Dream Chaser, is engulfed by a sudden, eerie mist. When they emerge they find themselves no longer in known territories, but in unknown and mysterious lands. Now they are struggling for their lives as they attempt to return to familiar waters with or without the Spanish treasure.

The first book in the Valerian Trilogy, 'In Valerina' by Yeovil Prize shortlisted finalist and UEA Phd graduate, Sophia Worden, is peopled with characters who time-travel, narrate or dream their way into other lives and eras, or carelessly lose important journals or documents for future friends to find. These characters are an unruly bunch, creating an affinity between the modern, the ancient and the archaic.

Rick Lorimer is a bruised veteran of the music business. His band, The Poppyseeds, built up a strong cult following on the pub circuit before the record companies came knocking, propelling Rick and his merry band of rough-edged rockers into a giddy world of mainstream success - eventually performing in front of over fifty thousand people as the support act to one of the biggest bands in England.This is his story - a fast-paced tale of friendship and love, trust and betrayal, magic and madness... and the ever-present threat of growing older and wiser, set against the fractious backdrop of Britain in the late seventies and early eighties - a land of youth cults, street violence, high unemployment, Radio One Roadshows, Northern Soul, and Cheggers Plays Pop.

LINE SEGMENT PLUS GRAVITY is a collection of lyrics and anecdotes written by Los Angeles musician Jon Wahl, whose career has careened through the eighties punk days to grunge and indie rock of the nineties and onward into the new millennium. Through these pages, Jon has tied a sinuous line between emotions and geography, economics, music scenes, death, love and (of all things) pigeons. Here are fifty-two songs spread out in twelve chapters told in narrative about the journey of someone looking for love and kindness, though it seems he really didn't know he was looking for anything.As the frontman for the twisted punk/blues band Claw Hammer and his own project The Amadans, Jon's lyrics were written through a filter of e.e. cummings, Don Van Vliet and Mina Loy, washed down with a few bottles of wine and generated through a jillion footsteps.

Expanded edition of the original 'Ageless if you Dare' with photos, faqs and more detailed explanation of the exercises

The concept of "Juda Rising" began with one individual who was convinced that she was a descendant of the ancient Bantus. Her inner-standing of Temple Worship formed the basis on which her personal story became a wonderful unravelling. Dr Beverley was born into a family that had strong priestly tendencies, that were characterised by attention to detail, and discipline. The Most High took Dr Beverley by the hand and led her on a journey through the Great Doors of True Worship. There was nobody in her family that could help her, so she asked the Most-High to show her what to do and where to look. She believed He knew the end from the beginning of her bloodline because His Word says, 'He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we could dare to ask or even think according to the power that is at work in us.'She said, "I believe the statement to mean: 'If I am able to believe, SoNINI NaNINI will work according to the level of my belief.' Well, I held onto my strong convictions until, through many years of research the truth began to shine through." Chattel Slavery was largely responsible for erasing and covering up the ancient Bantu heritage of the Caribbean people. Dr Beverley didn't know where the pieces of her personal history were hidden. The Most High uncovered the tissue of lies; endemic to the fabric of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. This book is both a historical research and a biblical retracing of the steps that our ancient Bantu forefathers took, from being a Nation to becoming a Slave Population. She says, "My brothers and sisters have suffered four hundred years in Mental Slavery, because we broke our Sacred Covenant with the Most-High. In fact, the reason we are unable to unite as a Bantu Community, is because we broke our union with the Most-High SoNINI NaNINI Somandla. It's as simple as that." The biographical style of this book enables the Negro Jamaican Bantu to emotionally reconnect with historical facts by offering the reader a peak into Dr. Beverley's past up to the present day. The reader can see her come to the point of honestly looking her truth in the face.

The Glorious Future is about the Biblical doctrine of the Last Things. It concerns prophetic truths from both the Old Testament and the New Testament which shed light on the rule of Christ in history and of His coming again at the end of the world. In that connection it deals with the implications of death, judgment, heaven and hell. The author provides a brief interpretation of the book of Revelation and addresses the question of the nature of the Millennium and its significance.This is a brief but lucid study of Biblical teaching which brings out the practical and spiritual importance of readiness for death and the coming again of the Lord Jesus Christ.

"Embracing the Bulge: A Journey Through Gay Men's Fascination" by Robert OrnigIn "Embracing the Bulge: A Journey Through Gay Men's Fascination," author Robert Ornig masterfully navigates the intricate and often unspoken world of gay men's interest in the male bulge. This thought-provoking book delves deep into the historical, cultural, and psychological aspects of this fascination, offering readers a comprehensive exploration of a topic that has been pivotal yet underrepresented in discussions of gay identity and culture.Ornig takes us on a journey through time and across cultures, uncovering the roots of this fascination in ancient art and literature, its evolution through the Renaissance, and its transformation in the modern era. He examines the influence of fashion, media, and celebrity culture, and addresses pressing contemporary issues such as body shaming, online dating, and the impact of pornography on desires and expectations.What sets Ornig's work apart is his inclusion of personal narratives - a collection of intimate interviews and stories from diverse voices within the gay community. These narratives bring to life the complexities and nuances of individual experiences, painting a vivid picture of the joys, struggles, and resilience that characterize the community's relationship with the male physique."Embracing the Bulge" is more than a historical or sociological treatise; it is a celebration of diversity, an advocacy for body positivity, and a call to broaden our understanding of beauty and desire. Ornig's insightful analysis and compassionate storytelling make this book an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the layers of gay culture and identity, or simply looking to appreciate the rich tapestry of human sexuality.

Samira Ashton é uma mulher vulgar, com um quotidiano normal cujo casamento se foi deteriorando sem ela dar por isso. Quando "acorda" encontra uma forma de evasão que a leva a uma reviravolta na sua vida.

Quando la guerra ha l'ambizione costitutiva di utilizzare il criterio dell'efficacia per costruire un diverso ordine mondiale, il principio di legalità internazionale entra in crisi e con esso la politica stessa del conflitto. Concetti chiave della tradizione culturale occidentale quali sovranità, democrazia, popolo, diritto, comunità subiscono la torsione della crisi polemica e si riposizionano nella costellazione della paura e della disgregazione. In questo senso, il realismo dell'effettività e, dunque, della politica di potenza, si scontra con un immaginario letterario e artistico che costruisce narrazioni di spazi e corpi nelle dimensioni del genere e della vita. Resistenze contro la grammatica rozza della morte in un vincolo che da sempre lega la guerra alla necessità di raccontarla.

This book contains an Irish translation of the the second-edition English version (ISBN 9780244879822, https://logicpress.ie/2020-1/index.html) of a one-semester undergraduate course taught through the medium of Irish. I have given this course in Maynooth each year since 2006. The class is typically quite mixed, and the book aims to challenge students familiar with rigorous arguments while simultaneously providing comfort to other students that prefer procedural mathematics---not an easy balancing act! For instance, some exercises are targeted at one or other of these two groups of students and, while some material is done in the context of metric spaces, guidance is given to the reader who prefers to stick to the real line. This second edition of the book has no major new topics, but it is about twice as long as the first. Some topics are explored in greater depth (e.g. conjugacy and semiconjugacy, bifurcation) and some proofs have been added (notably for Sharkovsky's and Singer's theorems). Additional exercises have been given, and the most challenging ones are marked appropriately. There is a glossary giving translations of terms.

I fenomeni sociali contemporanei sono connotati da un grado di mutevolezza, complessità e interdipendenza che non conosce precedenti. Gli sconvolgimenti avvenuti in questo primo scorcio del XXI secolo sono molteplici e chiamano in causa scenari politici, tecnologici ed emergenziali inediti. Emergono interrogativi ineludibili che interpellano lo scienziato sociale e schiudono nuovi spazi per il dialogo e l'integrazione tra discipline e metodologie differenti, alla ricerca di categorie e approcci che permettano di interpretare il presente e che possano orientarci nella costruzione di un futuro equo e sostenibile.La comunità italiana delle dottorande e dei dottorandi in scienze sociali ha percepito fortemente questa necessità, decidendo di riunirsi per dare luogo ad un confronto ampio che si muovesse in questadirezione.

Existen peles transparentes para os nosos ollos que habitan a dor das rúas, a dureza das superficies. A crueza da existencia é moito máis que un recurso poético. Por tras deste libro de poemas hai vidas sen nome, rúas polas que transitamos sen pararnos a observar as marcas, os restos que esas vidas foron depositando sobre o pavimento.

Born in a well-lit council room in a beautiful brick building in Philadelphia, our nation was conceived out of an unheard-of political ideal and shaped by five words which have echoed off the walls and streets of every town throughout the nation:All men are created equalHowever, when the men at Independence Hall dared to forge a new nation against impossible odds, their iconic phrase was little more than a fantasy to such a diverse group of fragmented people. Plantation owners. Slaves. Factory owners. Child laborers. Merchants. Indentured servants. Poor farmers. Privateers and pirates. Sailors. Politicians. Average people from all religions, all social classes, and all countries. A fragmented, dissonant people attempting to form a cohesive, harmonious orchestra. Average people pursuing an extraordinary goal:All men are created equalMeanwhile, the world watched America, the Great Experiment, with incredulous and scoffing eyes. A host of admirers, skeptics, emulators, and naysayers looked on, watching to see if the petulant colonists would succeed in their fool's errand or simply fall apart in their ineptitude.This is the dramatic story of America's successes and failures in its quest to achieve the highest possible ideal for mankind:All men are created equalA five-word phrase that left an indelible mark on the world by offering every unique individual something they had always searched for: hope.
