A Bridge Across Forever, sequel to Death’s Bright Angel, Part Two: Sacred Ground, is the final installment in the Sacred Ground Trilogy. There are two separate time-lines. As the story opens, it is 2019 and Dr. Glen Abbott has traveled to Scotland to meet with Mairi-Lea Hartford at the insistence of Gaia Magni, the Supreme Spiritual Being charged with restoring harmony and balance to Nature and preventing a Sixth Extinction Level Event (ELE). Gaia Magni has taken control of Earth. She is prepared, if necessary, to wipe humanity from the face of the Earth in order to protect the millions of other species in the Biosphere. But Earth has lost her resiliency and Gaia Magni is forced to adopt extreme measures in order to save Nature and humanity. She seeks help from the late John Hartford, the brilliant theoretical physicist assassinated in 1983 by the Soviet Union. Gaia Magni requires Hartford’s unique understanding of quantum theory to build a Galactic Bridge that will link Earth with Echo, the new world she has created 70,000 light years across the galaxy. Echo is humanity’s last chance to live in harmony and balance with Nature. But a visit to an Alternate Reality reveals a devastating future for Earth. The Doomsday Clock is ticking and it is a race against Time to save the Biosphere. In the alternate reality of 2017, Glen Abbott’s relationship with Virginia Montgomery is failing. She suffers from a retrograde amnesia that has left her without any emotional connection to her daughter or husband. Their marriage is on the rocks and he fears he has lost his chance to reclaim the love and contentment they had enjoyed before her death in 2018. In desperation, he tells her the truth; that he is from the future and that their daughter, Hannah, will evolve into Gaia Magni upon her Ascension. But can Montgomery, who has her own demons to contend with, believe him? Trust him? Ever love him again?

ÒIÕm happy to have been a part of history, however small my role was.Ó The words of Wardiman Djojonegoro reveal Indonesian history the way only a man who worked alongside Ali Sadikin, B. J. Habibie and Soeharto can. The modest 85-year-old, a former education minister and current foundation chairman at the Habibie Center, recalls the younger days of a Òbig villageÓ Jakarta and says it was the countryÕs third president who taught him the keys to national development. This is what Peter Zack, a reporter for the Jakarta Globe, wrote on 18 April 2009. In the present English translation of his 2014 memoir, Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: Reminiscences of Working with Three Great Indonesians, 1966Ð1998, Wardiman invites us to take a walk down memory lane and in so doing he tells us something about his life and career, as well as sharing his thoughts on a lifetime of public service under three great Indonesians. He also tells us about his secrets of how to age gracefully and his thoughts on the future of Indonesian education. The bookÕs core theme can be summed up in his reply to a high school student who asked him about the key to his lifetime success: ÒWherever you are placed, do your best!Ó

This fascinating book uncovers the history behind urban legends and explains how the contemporary iterations of familiar fictional tales provide a window into the modern concerns—and digital advancements—of our society. What do ghost hunting, legend tripping, and legendary monsters have in common with email hoaxes, chain letters, and horror movies? In this follow-up to Libraries Unlimited's Tales, Rumors, and Gossip: Exploring Contemporary Folk Literature in Grades 7–12, author Gail de Vos revisits popular urban legends, and examines the impact of media—online, social, and broadcast—on their current iterations. What Happens Next? Contemporary Urban Legends and Popular Culture traces the evolution of contemporary legends from the tradition of oral storytelling to the sharing of stories on the Internet and TV. The author examines if the popularity of contemporary legends in the media has changed the form, role, and integrity of familiar legends. In addition to revisiting some of the legends highlighted in her first book, de Vos shares new tales in circulation which she sees as a direct result of technological advancements.
