There's Bill Ashcraft, a passionate, drug-abusing young activist whose flailing ambitions have taken him from Cambodia to Zuccotti Park to post-BP New Orleans, and now back home with a mysterious package strapped to the undercarriage of his truck; Stacey Moore, a doctoral candidate reluctantly confronting her family and the mother of her best friend and first love, whose disappearance spurs the mystery at the heart of the novel; Dan Eaton, a shy veteran of three tours in Iraq, home for a dinner date with the high school sweetheart he's tried desperately to forget; and the beautiful, fragile Tina Ross, whose rendezvous with the washed-up captain of the football team triggers the novel's shocking climax. Set over the course of a single evening, Ohio toggles between the perspectives of these unforgettable characters as they unearth dark secrets, revisit old regrets and uncover--and compound--bitter betrayals. Before the evening is through, these narratives converge masterfully to reveal a mystery so dark and shocking it will take your breath away.

Автор: Potenza Betty Markley Название: The Message From The Two-Edged Sword ISBN: 1545671842 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781545671849 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 17460.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: As if the great need of the time were a reinterpretation of the Book of Revelation, author Betty Potenza here offers the reader just such an essay. She is right in her basic contention that the last book of the Bible has not been sufficiently appreciated.
Writing in a readable, lucid, commentary style, the author examines the Revelation of Saint John dispassionately. One must try to understand the meaning of the Holy Scripture not just in terms of recent scholarly commentaries on the subject, but also in terms of one's own intuitive feelings. The result of this understanding on the author's part is a new approach to perhaps the most difficult book in the Bible. Betty Potenza starts her elucidation of the Book of Revelation with an emphasis on the "seven letters to the seven churches" wherewith the spread of Christianity from Palestine began its fated journey throughout the countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea (and then some). Latter-day readers are sure to wonder why the author concentrates so much attention on the most mystical book of the New Testament. But after reading Betty Potenza's discussion of Christ's Second Coming, together with the detailed analysis she presents of the Revelation's symbolic meanings, there will be less resistance to the viewpoint she espouses. The argument of The Message from the Two-Edged Sword is rounded out with explanations and illustrations that have their own role in conveying the author's idea of Christ's all encompassing importance. Betty Markley Potenza is a Lutheran and a self-confessed former "lukewarm Christian" who at one point was suddenly enraptured by the Bible - and since then has been deeply concerned with Christianity. She was born in Decatur, Illinois, where she graduated from high school. Her hobbies are gardening, painting, and decorating. @import url(php.css);
Автор: Markley Stephen Название: Tales of Iceland: Running with the Huldufolk in the Permanent Daylight ISBN: 0989216519 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780989216517 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 11490.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: When American author Stephen Markley was a fresh-faced, impressionable university student in Ohio, he saw Quentin Tarantino describe a trip he'd taken to Iceland. "Supermodels working at McDonald's," said Tarantino of the Icelandic. Markley never forgot those words. Seven years later, Markley set out with two friends for Iceland, and adventure would ensue. The three young men found a country straddling Europe and North America, recovering from its 2008 economic crisis, struggling to regain its national identity, influenced by the entire globe yet trafficking in its singular Icelandic sagas and legends. With Tales of Iceland, Markley delivers the fastest, funniest memoir and travelogue of an American experience in Iceland. Beware: You will NOT learn how to say "Which way to the potato farm" in the Icelandic language. Nor will you learn how to locate the finest dining options in Reykjavik, or the best opera house. This is not that kind of travel book. Markley and his two irrepressible twenty-something American pals do not like opera, had no money to eat much besides eggs and skyr, and learned only how to say "Skal " "Takk," and "Skyr." The author of the growing cult classic Publish This Book, Markley dives headfirst into Icelandic history and culture while not ignoring all those weird stories found in the best travel writing: a road trip around the golden circle; partying in Reykjavik on National Day; drinking late into the night with gorgeous Icelandic women; hiking over pristine white glaciers featured in Game of Thrones; encountering a drunk, raging Kiefer Sutherland; crashing in the band Of Monsters and Men's old apartment; getting hit on by a Wiccan in the famed Blue Lagoon; searching for signs of Icelandic "hidden people;" interviewing Jon Gnarr, the actor-comedian who accidentally became the funniest mayor in the world (by vowing not to form a coalition government with anyone who hadn't watched all five seasons of The Wire); and countless other travel tales of youthful irreverence. If you're about to pick up this book about Iceland, just know that it will be a little foul. Markley also brings his twisted sense of humor and combative social conscience to bear on why there are no prostitutes in Iceland, how fishing quotas planted the seeds of an economic doomsday, and why one should never invite Icelanders over for an after-party. Tales of Iceland is the indispensable travelogue and required reading for anyone wishing to visit this strange, beautiful, and remarkable country. As Markley reflects: "All I can say with full credibility is that I went to Iceland and kind of fell in love with the place." Tales of Iceland tells how it happened. A Note from the Publisher, GiveLiveExplore: Travel guides are becoming static and stale. Savvy travelers in today's connected world are better served using free, curated websites like TripAdvisor and Lonely Planet, and personalized travel tips are better garnered by polling friends, meeting fellow travelers abroad, or talking to locals on the street. While travel information has become a commodity, we believe good, honest tales are in short supply. Tales of Iceland is our answer. It's the anti-guidebook -- a fun, engaging story with useful cultural context to compliment your own travel experiences. Our hope is not only that this travelogue becomes the book travelers read before or during a trip to Iceland, but also that it inspires more to explore and live out his or her own tales of Iceland.

Award-winning epics like the Mars Trilogy and groundbreaking alternative histories like The Days of Rice and Salt have brought Kim Stanley Robinson to the forefront of contemporary science fiction. Mixing subject matter from a dizzying number of fields with his own complex ecological and philosophical concerns, Robinson explores how humanity might pursue utopian social action as a strategy for its own survival. Robert Markley examines the works of an author engaged with the fundamental question of how we—as individuals, as a civilization, and as a species—might go forward. By building stories on huge time scales, Robinson lays out the scientific and human processes that fuel humanity's struggle toward a more just and environmentally stable world or system of worlds. His works invite readers to contemplate how to achieve, and live in, these numerous possible futures. They also challenge us to see that SF's literary, cultural, and philosophical significance have made it the preeminent literary genre for examining where we stand today in human and planetary history.
