"Welcome to the bizarre and dangerous world of Victorian London, a city teetering on the edge of revolution. Its people are ushering in a new era of technology, dazzled each day by new inventions. Airships soar in the skies over the city, whilst ground trains rumble through the streets and clockwork automatons are programmed to carry out menial tasks in the offices of lawyers, policemen and journalists. But beneath this shiny veneer of progress lurks a sinister side. For this is also a world where lycanthropy is a rampant disease that plagues the dirty whorehouses of Whitechapel, where poltergeist infestations create havoc in old country seats, where cadavers can rise from the dead and where nobody ever goes near the Natural History Museum."--Publisher.

“Wonderful essays on everything steampunk, written by well-known names in the movement who are living steampunk every day” (Wired.com). Steampunk—a grafting of Victorian aesthetic and punk rock attitude onto various forms of science-fiction culture—is a phenomenon that has come to influence film, literature, art, music, fashion, and more. The Steampunk Bible is the first compendium about the movement, tracing its roots in the works of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells through its most recent expression in movies such as Sherlock Holmes. Its adherents celebrate the inventor as an artist and hero, re-envisioning and crafting retro technologies including antiquated airships and robots. A burgeoning DIY community has brought a distinctive Victorian-fantasy style to their crafts and art. Steampunk evokes a sense of adventure and discovery, and embraces extinct technologies as a way of talking about the future. This ultimate manual will appeal to aficionados and novices alike as author Jeff VanderMeer takes the reader on a wild ride through the clockwork corridors of Steampunk history. Praise for The Steampunk Bible “An informed, informative and beautifully illustrated survey of the subject.” —The Financial Times “The Steampunk Bible is far and away the most intriguing catalog of all things steam yet written.” —The Austin Chronicle

Religion is a duplicitous invention of primitive humans, diametrically opposed to our moral intuition, and driven by belief in gods whose existence is neither evident nor probable. These are just some of the damning conclusions reached by Gareth Wilson within his pulsating assessment of organised faith. Sweeping aside the punditry of religious apologists and their critique of previous atheist works, The Plain Truths of Religion is the most extensive and full-blooded summation of both the nature and purpose of humankind's greatest belief systems. As such, this piece is as raw as it is incisive, and certainly not a read for the faint-hearted.

Everyone is challenged by Satan and his demons. The first task in engaging an enemy is to learn about him and his tactics. Unfortunately this hasnt been done well enough for people to recognize the voice inside their brain trying to get them to make bad decisions. Not recognizing thoughts put into your brain by Satan causes you to think they are your thoughts telling you how bad you are or giving you harmful solutions to your problems. Satans goal is to get humans to destroy themselves with vices or conflicts. While reading this book you may find ideas different from what you normally hear from religious leaders. The information in this book is the result of many years of experience working with God, winning and losing battles with Satan, countless hours of study of the Bible and the determination to place truth above opinion, tradition or status. When traditions force sincere ministers to choose between tradition and truth, Satan has a solution. Change what God says to an opinion of what God means. He used this strategy on Eve and every dupable person since then. Once a person learns to do this he can peacefully co-exist with truth and error. Church members taught things inconsistent with the words of God for many years are not easily persuaded they are opposing God. This is the problem Jesus faced when he tried to correct the theology of the Jewish leaders. What Jesus told the Jewish leaders was not new, it had always been in their Scriptures. The contents of this book are not new they have always been in the Bible. Opinion, tradition and political correctness have neutered the church and made it impotent. This book is an attempt to reveal Satan, his tactics and the people who work for him. This information may keep you from being his next meal because, as Peter said, he is walking about looking for someone to devour.

His influence on Western theatre, culture and politics extended from the 1880s to his death and beyond. He wrote more than sixty plays, including major works such as Man and Superman (1902) and Pygmalion (1912). With a range incorporating both contemporary satire and historical allegory, Shaw became the leading dramatist of his generation, and in 1925 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
