Book Description
A disgraced pilot saved by elemental magic. A jaded spy haunted by his past. Occult forces threatening to ruin them both. All Voi wants is to fly her plane and live a decent life, but something stands in her way: emelesia, a rare condition likely to land her in a mental asylum. Forever. Then comes Mr. Callahan, the mysterious agent who convinces Voi to spy for a cure. The catch? She has untapped elemental powers, and the enemy is psychic. Desperate for a remedy, the aviatrix trains for a dangerous mission, wary of the person she's being molded into. The threat of coercion hovers constantly: become an elemental agent, or face the asylum. Meanwhile, Voi struggles with unusual side effects—from overwhelming urges to unintentional manifestations of her powers, due to unchecked emotions. Between learning how to control her abilities, Mr. Callahan's growing reluctance towards her potential, and dealing with psychic revolutionaries... becoming an elementalist seems less and less appealing. Can Voi and her handler learn to trust one another, or will the machinations of paranormal politics lead to their undoing? The Man in the High Castle meets Avatar: The Last Airbender in a dark epic of espionage and elemental magic. The Elementalist: Rise of Hara is T. M. White's debut novel and the first in the Elemental Spies series.

COSMIC MECHANICS-How We Create Reality With Zero-Point and Quantum Waves

Author: Fred Aeilts
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0615159214
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 307

Book Description
Recent discoveries in Quantum Mechanics have proved that there is no discrete particle or solid chunk of anything in the whole Physical Universe. It is all standing waves arising from the seething zero-point field created by cosmic beings like you and me. The properties of mass, inertia, charge and gravity are the result of space resonances produced by zero-point scalar waves. This book with color pictures details the theory, models and mathematics of zero-point scalar waves, gravity, magnetism, biophotonics, the creation of 200 trillion year old orbs that we take with us between bodies, the source of evil, the basis of vibrational healing and psychic abilities, who you really are, how hypnotism works, how your personal orb affects you, our prison planet, and how to photograph orbs. Your orb is an insidious and diabolical quantum computer that disables you and ruins your lives. If you want to know how things work in this and other universes, read this book.

Pages : 94

Book Description
Is the brain gateway to the soul? Is mind, spirit and soul are the same thing? What are the philosophical and theological perspectives of the soul? What is the connection between the brain and mind/soul/spirit? In Spiritual Mechanics author Dr Tanzia Mustafa delves in to the human mental processes in search of a distinctive programming or pattern indicative of a purpose. In this discussion, she looks for common grounds of pihilosophy, religion and modern science to describe mental phenomenon. She surmises that the modern-day scientific approach might not lead to answers, but perhaps the approach of the ancients might. She chronicles her quest and findings in Spiritual Mechanics. Dr Mustafa analyzes popular theories, such as the theory of evolution. She looks at the ideas of the philosophers, ideas of religions and modern scientific advances then delves deep to establish the presence of a Higher mind or the mind of God. In conclusion, Dr Mustafa determines, in light of modern science, there is a purpose to human existence.

Deviance in Neo-Victorian Culture

Author: Saverio Tomaiuolo
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319969501
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 259

Book Description
This book argues that ‘deviance’ represents a central issue in neo-Victorian culture, and that the very concept of neo-Victorianism is based upon the idea of ‘diverging’ from accepted notions regarding the nineteenth-century frame of mind. However, the study of the ways in which the Victorian age has been revised by contemporary authors does not only entail analogies with the present but proves – by introducing what is perhaps a more pertinent description of the nineteenth century – that it was much more ‘deviant’ than it is usually depicted and perceived. Deviance in Neo-Victorian Culture: Canon, Transgression, Innovation explores a wide variety of textual forms, from novels to TV series, from movies and graphic novels to visual art. The scholarly and educational purpose of this study is to stimulate readers to approach neo-Victorianism as a complex cultural phenomenon.

Book Description
The Edwardian-era Steampunk tale of Great Britain's greatest detective, Sax Raker, whose investigation into a mysterious, vanishing killer threatens to unravel the entire world around him. The year is 1907, and Britain has entered into a terrifying war with Ruritania, whose strange metal planes darken the skies, and whose monstrous war engines cast looming shadows from across the channel. Doctor Robert Watcham, lately returned to London from the front, makes his homecoming to Dilke Street. There lives his old friend and England's greatest amateur detective, Sax Raker. Even as his beloved city prepares for war, Raker is himself about to embark on the strangest (and, perhaps, the most important) investigation of his career: the case of the man who wasn't there. Is the mysterious, vanishing killer, at last, evidence for Raker's long-held belief in a secret criminal mastermind? Is it some apparition uniquely belonging to this city, a place that seems to have lost all semblance of sense two years ago? Or do all the signs point to something much, much worse?

Book Description
Across generations and genres, comics have imagined different views of the future, from unattainable utopias to worrisome dystopias.

This collection of new essays explores the creative processes in comics production that bring plausible futures to the page. The contributors investigate portrayals in different stylistic traditions--manga, bande desinees--from a variety of theoretical perspectives. The picture that emerges documents the elaborate storylines and complex universes comics creators have been crafting for decades.
