*Includes pictures *Profiles the history of the site and the theories about its purpose *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents The ancient world often evokes wonder, respect and even confusion, and few places accomplish any of that more than the incredible ruined stone temple of Puma Punku. Part of the larger ruined city of Tiwanaku in the altiplano plains of modern Bolivia, Puma Punku is a marvel of engineering, stonemasonry and design. These facts are obvious to even the lay observer, as Puma Punku's stonework is remarkable even for the Andes where visitors have long wondered at ancient stone joints where even a knife bade could not fit between the stones. This level of craftsmanship has caused some, mostly those who have never been to the Andes, to speculate of a fanciful origin for the site, maintaining that such a wonderful and mysterious place must be the work of extraterrestrial or super-human forces. However, Puma Punku's stonemasonry is often considered its most notable feature only because until recently so little was known about the site or the Tiwanaku culture that built it. This would be like visiting the ruins of the Vatican or Westminster Abbey centuries from now and being wowed by the quality of construction. While the construction is impressive, that aspect is not the most interesting story that the sites can tell. Today, through the diligent work of scholars from many countries, the disciplines of archaeology, art history, comparative ethnography and other modern historical sciences have begun to peel back the story of Puma Punku, and historians can once again begin to tell the stories behind the stones. That work has highlighted the enigmatic ruins from many points of view, and have helped explain how it was a place of ritual, showmanship, mythology and, of course, the finest workmanship. Puma Punku: The History of Tiwanaku's Spectacular Temple of the Sun examines one of the most important pre-Columbian sites in South America. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Puma Punku like never before, in no time at all.

For Jason, getting accepted into FATES is the first step of the rest of his life, but how can he plan for the future when he doesn't even know his own past?Jason Steele leads a pretty normal life for a 14-year-old in the 2040's. He has parents that love him, despite all the secrets they keep from him. He has best friends he's never been apart from. He knows exactly what he wants to do with his life and how best to get there. The biggest problems in his life are bullies and a crush that hardly notices him. All in all, he's just a regular boy... But it's funny how much can change in just one year.When the number of strange occurrences builds to a point that even the most well-crafted lie can't cover, Jason finally learns the truth about himself, but that's only the beginning. As his bad luck streak continues, his parents find themselves as targets of the massive government agency ASTERISK, and one tiny little mistake blows up to have dire consequences for the Steele family. Then, even when he thinks he's gotten a handle on things again, he discovers he's not as alone as he was once led to believe. There are others like him, and not all of them are as friendly as others.

Nate: It's nearly impossible to be surrounded by love but not understand it. My parents, my sister, and just about everyone around us has no trouble accepting that love. To give your trust to someone else and believe they would die before hurting you. I've witnessed it-I've seen the power of it-but I've also seen the pain. Because for me, I've only loved someone I could never have, and my biggest fear is that by giving her my love, all I would do is ruin her. I should have tried harder, but I'm not sure I can because I only feel complete when I'm with her. Emberlyn: The only time I feel like I belong is when he's near. His infectious smile warms me straight to my bones. Any insecurities I have vanish with just a wink from him. A sliver of his attention makes me feel invincible. But all it took was one drunken night of truths for me to lose everything I had begun to crave. Now, I'm not sure how to move on because I only feel complete when I'm with him. He said I was too young. I said he was perfect. He said our families wouldn't understand. I said we could weather any storm. He said he would ruin me. And he was right.

Eclectica Canticorum is a collection that marks a closing stage in James Wilson's experiment with a form of prose poetry, musical in its origins, that he has dubbed the divertissement. Short brooding texts, composed under the influence of selected songs, and taking no longer to read than the inspiring song's duration, are accompanied by photographic images that are themselves a response to the mysterious writing. Spanning a number of years, the pieces in this volume chart an evolution of an original form, at the same time obliquely documenting a turbulent period of a life punctuated by joy, love, loss and grief. Praise for James Wilson 'A writer perfectly attuned to the music of disappointment and the emptiness of crowded places'-John Muckle, Tears in the Fence 'The poet in Wilson is evident'-Leslie Raith, Curled up with A Good Book 'a sequence of searches...for what vanishes, for the transient and evanescent, the indeterminate and enigmatic'-Mike Freeman, The Literary London Journal 'Private and mysterious...the pieces read like moments snatchedfrom dreams'-Terry Pitts, Vertigo

Jonathan Goodfellow is an accountant. One day God looked down upon the earth and saw that he was meek and mild and thought that it was a good thing. This was the start of the disruption of Jonathan's quiet life and began the series of misadventures that then took place. Misadventures as varied as being hit on the head by a one legged, one eyed dwarf wielding a golf club, dying, meeting God in heaven and being offered the choice of carrying God's message and reforming the human race or going to hell.Jonathan becomes the new Messiah and makes desperate attempts to convince people of his bona fides. Ranged against him are a number of forces that include The Legal Ruler's Society, a group of lawyers who have been in league with Satan for many years and who are plotting to take over the world in the name of evil when the moment is right.Satan, like God, decides to leave human beings to their own ends and offers the world to the lawyers if they leave him alone to fulfil his twenty-year-old ambition to break one hundred and twenty at golf. Satan put the idea of the game into the heads of the Geordies as a means of driving people mad and getting them to do terrible things to one another. Hell has been converted into a golf course and everyone there must play two rounds a day. No one is allowed to break one hundred and twenty on pain of terrible torture.Along the way Jonathan does make converts. Most of them are the poor and downtrodden, the criminal and the insane. The one exception is his main disciple, Marcie Mabelgrove, chief investigative reporter with the Daily Bugle, and love blossoms in Jonathan's lonely life.In all of the mayhem that takes place, there remains the voice of sanity in the form of Jonathan's two white, albino, Himalayan, dwarf rabbits. Bugs and Thumper have been deputised by God as the communication point for Jonathan, and God has granted them the power to speak to Jonathan. Like all rabbits, Bugs and Thumper are practical and down to earth creatures who are not swayed by the tempestuous events around them.The book reaches its climax in the last battle of good versus evil on earth as the evil lawyers, led by the portly, cigar smoking, cask wine drinking, Jones P. senior, battle a group of aged pensioners on the banks of the Murray River.

Ballad of Steve Biker is the second volume of the Greatest Game series, which recounts an exciting overseas holiday of the Pack, who are friends of the central character Rupertheimer. There is the Englishman Nick Jarvis and Peter Khumalo the Zulu, along with an enigmatic Afrikaner named Hofmeyr, who travel abroad where they meet their future wives. Rupertheimer receives a harsh lesson in Ireland, from the media tycoon Darby O'Gill, while Khumalo falls under the influence of a mysterious motorcyclist named Steve Biker. This alter ego of the famous Steve Biko, has a profound impact on the Pack, especially on young Peter Khumalo who returns home to join the Struggle. Peter Khumalo joins up with his fiery Aunt Willie Khumalo and her husband Matthew, who lead an South African liberation group named AZIPPO, but Peter's liberation struggle ends abruptly at Rupertheimer's wedding. When a series of bizarre events culminate, in a fierce standoff with counterinsurgency forces, where freedom fighter Peter Khumalo surrenders to fearsome police Colonel Kokkenbull. So the Rupertheimer wedding ends with a message of hope for South Africa, that violence will be renounced and democratic negotiations will come about, which portends the pivotal rote that Rupertheimer must play in the future transition to democracy. These inexplicable events in Rupertheimer's life seem to point the way, to the vital contribution he will make to democratic negotiations, because Rupertheimer is destined to become a key player in the 1994 democratic elections. The South African liberal press has covered this historic event extensively, with hastily scrawled cover-ups, but unfortunately for the press there remain the newspaper archives. Where the craven journalistic scepticism is starkly portrayed, which impacted negatively on the transition to democracy, so it was indeed fortunate that our man Rupertheimer was there. To unerringly guide his troubled land, and steer the good ship South Africa to a democratic landing.

In a series of candid vignettes and one poem, Cynthia takes us into her family of origin to revisit her physician parents, whose lives were impacted in unexpected, far-reaching ways by her father's service in World War II, and into her life with them and her two younger sisters, covering several decades. We meet grandparents, lifelong friends, and mother substitutes. Dark family secrets are revealed. Questions are raised. Other tales explore Cynthia's work history in such divergent places as her father's medical office and a seminary. We are with her during the dissolution of two marriages and a nostalgic look back at a high school romance. Always honest, Cynthia tells it like it was-the good, the bad, and the very bad-with feeling and understanding, and eventually forgiveness.

*Includes dozens of pictures *Describes the construction of the Titanic, life aboard the ship during its maiden voyage, the sinking of the ship, rescue efforts, and the discovery and exploration of the wreck *Includes accounts written by passengers, crew members, White Star Line officials, and explorers of the wreck *Includes a bibliography for further reading "I cannot imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any vital disaster happening to this vessel." - Captain Edward J. Smith Just before midnight on April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic, the largest ship in the world, hit an iceberg, starting a chain of events that would ultimately make it history's most famous, and notorious, ship. In the over 100 years since it sank on its maiden voyage, the Titanic has been the subject of endless fascination, as evidenced by the efforts to find its final resting spot, the museums full of its objects, and the countless books, documentaries, and movies made about the doomed ocean liner. Thanks to the dramatization of the Titanic's sinking and the undying interest in the story, millions of people are familiar with various aspects of the ship's demise, and the nearly 1,500 people who died in the North Atlantic in the early morning hours of April 15, 1912. The sinking of the ship is still nearly as controversial now as it was over 100 years ago, and the drama is just as compelling. The Titanic was neither the first nor last big ship to sink, so it's clear that much of its appeal stems from the nature of ship itself. Indeed, the Titanic stands out not just for its end but for its beginning, specifically the fact that it was the most luxurious passenger ship ever built at the time. In addition to the time it took to come up with the design, the giant ship took a full three years to build, and no effort or cost was spared to outfit the Titanic in the most lavish ways. Given that the Titanic was over 100 feet tall, nearly 900 feet long, and over 90 feet wide, it's obvious that those who built her and provided all of its famous amenities had plenty of work to do. The massive ship was carrying thousands of passengers and crew members, each with their own experiences on board, and the various amenities offered among the different classes of passengers ensured that life on some decks of the ship was quite different than life on others. Almost everyone is familiar with what happened to the Titanic during its maiden voyage and the tragedy that followed, but the construction of the Titanic is often overlooked, despite being an amazing story itself, one that combined comfort and raw power with the world's foremost technological advances. Nonetheless, the seeds of the Titanic's destruction were sown even before it left for its first and last journey. Similarly, the drama involved with the sinking of the Titanic often obscures the important aftermath of the disaster, particularly the several investigations conducted on both sides of the Atlantic that sought to figure out not only why the Titanic sank but future changes that could be made in order to protect ships and passengers in the future. In fact, the course of the investigations was interesting in itself, especially since the British and Americans reached wildly different conclusions about what went wrong and led to the ship's demise. The Titanic examines the entire history and legacy of the ship, from its construction to its sinking, as well as the investigations and changes that followed, the discovery of the wreck in 1985, and even the current events surrounding the ship. Along the way, life aboard the Titanic is analyzed through passengers' accounts, as are the tales of survival and death that continue to resonate. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Titanic like never before, in no time at all.
