Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Readers of Beyond Crystal Castles, the first in the series of Brendan tales, will remember Thomas, a young novice of an Irish abbey who follows and chronicles the adventures of a renegade monk, the Mad St. Brendan. Brendan is seeking a northern route to the land known today as the Americas.Chapter o…ne opens with Brosius, Thomas's strong right arm, entertaining his pupils in the city of Cahokia, the ruins of which exist even today along the Mississippi River near St. Louis.Brosius recounts the dangers and beauty of the northern seas they crossed from Ireland and the harrowing journey in their ox hide curragh to the beaches and rivers of the rugged shores of the land that would be named Nova Scotia.The entire crew is captured and enslaved by the treacherous Alnanbal Indians of the St. Lawrence River.Fate and fortune sets a stage for Thomas's rise to power in the Mississippi River city of Cahokia. Thomas plays a key role in the power struggles of this empire located in the Mississippi Valley, as well as the Toltec capitol of Teotihuacan in modern day Mexico. Their adventures are set against a backdrop of the brilliant colors of the most advanced culture of 6th century Middle America and the riotous, golden civilization of the Toltec Empire.Woven into the tapestry of Thomas's adventures is the mad, power-hungry St. Brendan. Stripped bare of the patina of early Church sanctity, he emerges as a complex and flawed being. He is a man who must have power, adulation, and godliness, even at the sacrifice of his followers.Brendan has fallen under the devastating intoxication of the native drug, coca. His charismatic personality has drawn the peoples of two empires to him, as a semi-divine reincarnation of the Toltec god Quetzalcoatl. The god was predicted in ancient chronicles to come to earth in the form of a tall white-skinned and bearded man. Brendan became a willing tool in a bloody play, just as greedy nobles were beginning their wars for power.Spurred by his guilt for placing Brendan in a position of dark power, Thomas calls upon his Druid spirits of Filid-sense to bring thunderous forces to assail the coronation of Brendan as the god Quetzalcoatl. As the demented god-man stands atop the Quetzalcoatl temple, he is struck by forces called down by Thomas and topples beneath the crumbling walls of the building.Brendan is trapped for days in temple rubble and broods in his bleak prison, slowly going insane. He must deal with a fall from glory to a dark cavern of despair. His reality becomes the temple stones trapping him.'I have never before consumed warm, living flesh but I was pleasantly surprised with my first small sample. Carefully reserving skin and bones, I made sure there were tempting tidbits to lure other rats. Hunger is no longer a problem.''Freedom: The sound of voices seems strange after so many days of silence. As the men enter my throne room, I arrange my tattered furs and gold ornaments, to appear as godlike as possible. It will not do to disappoint those who come to worship before me.'Freed from his temple, the threads of Brendan's plans begin to weave a web to ensnare many of the southern peoples. Determined to rule new lands, Mad Brendan joins forces with a Chin princess, ruler of a southern city.Expatriate from China, the brilliant and sensuous Princess Wu challenges Brendan's disdainful attitudes toward women and they cross swords, both in and out of bed. United, so to speak, in a cause they can both agree upon they set forth to capture the mountain cities of the warlike Chimu people. These bloodthirsty warrior-priests have a tool which would open all the southern lands to Brendan's army. They have the power of flight!Thomas and Brosius learn the secrets of sky ships and the dark forces that reside in the Andes Mountains above the coastal city of Nazca. There is a city, Machu Picchu, rumored to be of solid gold and visited by ancient aliens.Sky gods came from the sta.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Holographic Psychology is the birth of a revolutionary course of understanding that all comprehension and associated behavior is being subjectively determined and manifest as part of the individual's psychological dynamics. It presents a giant leap in awareness, recognizing that all language is a sy…mbolic means, reflecting people, places or things based on the person's own accepted worldview. Holographic Psychology is surely one of the most important discoveries, revealing that the self-image is part of a process of human perception that evolves through three different realities. The principles of Holographic Psychology hold a viable model for world peace and provide an end to relationship issues or being a victim of any sort. Holographic Psychology holds the key to a healthier, happier life, as it exposes newfound freedom. The principles are based on the person's potential and not his or her pathology.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Set in the late 1970s, shortly before the advent of the AIDS epidemic, an era still redolent of Vietnam and Watergate, Broken Record represents one man's crossing through a transitional period in the nation's history, as delineated in the madness of New York, when the city was infested with crime an…d unbridled sexuality. During this sordid and thrilling epoch in the city, Bobby Cahn, an underemployed man of 35 learns that the chronic stomach pains that have tormented him for a decade are not the stuff of hypochondria, but the lethal messiness of cancer. A large section of the book takes place in the hospital, The Gosmomberger Pavilion, where Bobby encounters doctors and staff that include, among others, a surgeon who extracts healthy pancreases that are subsequently employed in the preparation of gourmet dishes highlighting the organ, a sadistic aide, capable of committing mayhem on patients he finds annoying, and a nymphomaniac who seduces the dying. The tone of Broken Record is sardonic, reflecting damaged humanity, and a debauched, vacated society, but the mordant pitch of the novel cannot mask the grief and tragedy that mark the stations of Bobby's passage; indeed the ineluctability of Bobby's final reckoning proves that all men are Everyman--and that the demise of any single human being, even those who appear worthless and indecent in their lack of regard for others, brings universal mourning. Readers will not easily forget Bobby Cahn and the population of Broken Record.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Throughout his lifetime, Johney Larned has been keenly interested in American history. As an avid follower of current events, he as a young boy had always firmly held to the concept that one day he would record these family happenings in a book. With this publication, Though Silent They Speak, The L…arned Family History, Larned's lifelong dream has become a reality. For a period of over five years Johney has focused on the rich heritage of the Larned family. Not only has the author included the wonderful stories that had been passed down to him as a youth, but he has discovered many more yet untold details in the lives of his Larned descendants. Living on the Guadalupe River in New Braunfels Texas, Johney and his wife Derinda have three young children, Trey, Mackenzie, and Dylan. Johney began this labor of love with the hope that his children would have a better understanding of the hardships, physical sufferings, and moral challenges of the previous generations. Through countless hours of research, Johney has assembled a tapestry of what amounts to a total of thirteen generations of the Larned Family. Tracing the Larned roots, he has discovered additional details of his ancestors that have metamorphosed into a unique personality for each. Beginning with William Learned who arrived in America in 1630, the Larned's are examined as they emigrate from Charlestown Massachusetts. Ancestors included in this compilation are: William Learned of Bermondsey England, Charlestown and Woburn Massachusetts; Isaac Learned Sr. of Bermondsey England, Charlestown, Woburn, and Chelmsford Massachusetts; Isaac Learned Jr. of Sherborn and Framingham Massachusetts; William Larned of Killingly Connecticut, Sutton Massachusetts and Thompson Connecticut; Simon Larned of Thompson Connecticut; Darius Larned of Pittsfield Massachusetts and Thompson Connecticut; Benjamin Franklin Larned of Pittsfield Massachusetts, Detroit Michigan, St. Louis Missouri, New Orleans Louisiana, St. Francis Co. and Pulaski Co., Arkansas, Baltimore Maryland, and Washington DC; Frederick Sylvester Larned of Pittsfield Massachusetts, San Francisco California, St. Louis Missouri, New York NY, Waco, and Paluxy Texas; Walter Franklin Larned of St. Genevieve Missouri, New York NY, Waco Texas, Paluxy Texas, Haskell Texas, and Douglas Arizona; Norval Gordon Larned of Paluxy and Haskell Texas; Johney Gordon Larned Sr. of Haskell Texas; and Johney Gordon Larned Jr. of Haskell, Wichita Falls, and New Braunfels Texas. Not only are the direct Larned descendants reviewed, but accounts from siblings and connecting families are also revealed. Additional families mentioned are: Gilman, Sternes, Bigelow, Bryant, Merrils, Marsh, Willis, Newman, Wilson, Wooster, Roberson, Tidwell, Turnbow, and Griffis. Many significant events in American history are investigated as the Larneds were very directly involved in military actions before the American Revolution through the Civil War and after World War II. Larned descendants have served their country in King Philip's War, the Great Swamp Fight, the American Revolution, Shay's Rebellion, the War of 1812, the Mexican War, the Civil War, WWI, WWII, and other conflicts. Special recognition is given to U.S. Paymaster-General Benjamin Franklin Larned with many previously unpublished details of his life and military career disclosed. Numerous interactions with key personnel of the U.S. Civil War are revealed. Related newspaper articles and the content of original letters from Benjamin F. Larned are furnished. Fort Larned Kansas is named in honor of Colonel B.F. Larned. Additional information is noted concerning the migration of the Larned Family into Texas. Included is an autobiographical manuscript from Dr. Edward Spalding Larned describing his migration to Waco Texas in 1856 which would lead to his harrowing 1300 mile escape b.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Why is backward Millstone village, squeezed in a valley of New Mexico's Sacramento Mountains, ostracized from neighbor towns Why do villagers stare like mummies doomed to mindless terror Why do they shun stunning Silver Lake gorged with trout Are ghastly rumors products of superstition and ignorance…, or is a diabolical recluse linked to sinister crimes Such questions haunt three vacationing college freshmen and test their integrity. Events emotionally, mystically, and dangerously bind them to a mysterious loner whom they gallantly, perhaps foolishly, strive to vindicate. In their struggle they uncover the truth, hidden behind a fog of mystical power and hatred, and become entangled in a snare of sinister events and confusing leads. They must consider the emotional instability and supernatural powers of the old recluse. They must consider the motives of a beautiful Apache woman who seems to match the paranormal abilities and apparent, generous nature of the loner. They cannot ignore a shifty sheriff who bends the law and covers evil deeds. They cannot overlook the remnants of a dissolved cult in the old fishing lodge where they are staying, nor can they disregard old Stella who uses her status and magicians tricks to wield power over Millstone folk. In their struggle to redeem good, the three friends¿ honor, faith, and courage are severely tried by subversive evil. The dichotomous clash escalates from sorrow, to betrayal, to tragedy, to ultimate triumph.
