A mysterious mirror with phantom images, a camera that takes pictures of things they can't see, and a violin that unlocks unrecognizable voices ... each enigma takes the teens further into an alternate universe where nothing is as it seems. Find out what happens when good battles evil in an alternate universe Interfinity is imminent. In this second book in the Echoes from the Edge series, the merging of Earth and its parallel dimensions means one thing to Nathan Shepherd---he must rescue his parents while attempting to save his world and others. But signs foretell the impending collapse of the cosmos. Nathan and his friend Kelly watch the night sky transform into a giant mirror, as stars are replaced by scattered reflections of Earth.

Journeying through dimensional realities, Nathan and Kelly must draw on their God-given gifts of wisdom and courage and the help of faithful friends, as they battle Mictar for lives and worlds sliding toward the edge of destruction.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAfter the death of her parents two and a half years ago, Olivia Mayor moves to Pinecrossing, Wyoming with her sister, Christine. Idaho has been the only state she knows and she feels like there’s truly nothing left for her anymore after she’s forced to move to Pinecrossing, WY. For two and a half years, Olivia has submerged herself deeply into a numb state. The death of her parents was tragic and she can’t accept the fact that they are gone. Rather than accept reality, she pushes herself as far away from it as possible. In denial, she submerges herself deeper and deeper into this numb world that she’s created for herself. However, after being in Pinecrossing for several weeks, the numb state begins to leave her and she is forced to step back into the world...what awaits her is nothing like she thought. Many ‘myths’ are going around the town about the forest. According to the legends, scary things—monsters—come out on the night of the full moon. Olivia knows for a fact that there is nothing going out in the forest like everyone believes...or is there? Tempting fate, Olivia goes out into the heart of the forest on a night of the full moon. What she discovers while there will change her whole thinking. She’s determined to solve whatever it is that’s going on in the forest. Along the journey to discovering answers, she falls deeply in love with the handsome and very mysterious Mark Walker. It does not take Olivia long to realize that he is a part of this mystery, too. He knows what’s going on in the forest on the nights of the full moon, but like everyone else, he pushes her away. Finding comfort in a strange white wolf who always lingers around her home, Olivia begins to open up to the wolf...giving him her whole heart. She doesn’t understand what is going on, but she promises that she will protect her wolf...no matter what. This wolf seems to be apart of her life...sewed to her, even. Without him she is positive that she won’t be able to breathe. But...after discovering the truth, will she feel the same? After Mark suddenly withdraws from her and her world seems like it’s crashing down, she discovers the truth. She discovers what’s really going on in her forest. She also uncovers the truth of what Mark is... On this long journey, can Olivia accept the truth of her parents ́ death and heal? Can she open up and let someone love her, giving her love in return? Can she, all in all, continue on with life even with all the pain and grieve that is a constant companion in her life?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDeployed to Iraq in March 2004 after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, US Marine Michael Zacchea thought he had landed a plum assignment. His team's mission was to build, train, and lead in combat the first Iraqi Army battalion trained by the US military. Quickly, he realized he was faced with a nearly impossible task. With just two weeks' training based on outdated and irrelevant materials, no language instruction, and few cultural tips for interacting with his battalion of Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, Yazidis, and others, Zacchea arrived at his base in Kirkush to learn his recruits would need beds, boots, uniforms, and equipment. His Iraqi officer counterparts spoke little English. He had little time to transform his troops—mostly poor, uneducated farmers—into a cohesive rifle battalion that would fight a new insurgency erupting across Iraq. In order to stand up a fighting battalion, Zacchea knew, he would have to understand his men. Unlike other combat Marines in Iraq at the time, he immersed himself in Iraq's culture: learning its languages, eating its foods, observing its traditions—even being inducted into one of its Sunni tribes. A constant source of both pride and frustration, the Iraqi Army Fifth Battalion went on to fight bravely at the Battle of Fallujah against the forces that would eventually form ISIS. The Ragged Edge is Zacchea's deeply personal and powerful account of hopeful determination, of brotherhood and betrayal, and of cultural ignorance and misunderstanding. It sheds light on the dangerous pitfalls of training foreign troops to fight murderous insurgents and terrorists, precisely when such wartime collaboration is happening more than at any other time in US history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. Many recent works of contemporary art, performance, and film turn a spotlight on sleep, wresting it from the hidden, private spaces to which it is commonly relegated. At the Edges of Sleep considers sleep in film and moving image art as both a subject matter to explore onscreen and a state to induce in the audience. Far from negating action or meaning, sleep extends into new territories as it designates ways of existing in the world, in relation to people, places, and the past. Defined positively, sleep also expands our understanding of reception beyond the binary of concentration and distraction. These possibilities converge in the work of Thai filmmaker and artist Apichatpong Weerasethakul, who has explored the subject of sleep systematically throughout his career. In examining Apichatpong’s work, Jean Ma brings together an array of interlocutors—from Freud to Proust, George Méliès to Tsai Ming-liang, Weegee to Warhol—to rethink moving images through the lens of sleep. Ma exposes an affinity between cinema, spectatorship, and sleep that dates to the earliest years of filmmaking, and sheds light upon the shifting cultural valences of sleep in the present moment.
