Adam Young, a builder and general contractor from Albuquerque, is addicted to opioids and alcohol. His marriage to Maria falls apart one day when he is the only one present to the SIDS death of their daughter, Ava. Although ruled a "crib death" by the medical examiner, Maria believes Adam was impaired and could have done more to save Ava. Will their marriage end? One Saturday, when Maria is away with her friend, Adam takes his seven-year-old son Lucas on an errand and runs his truck off the road, nearly killing them both. He is cited for DUI and goes with Lucas to the ER. They meet Dr. John Warnock, who treats Lucas's broken arm and talks with Adam about his DUI, his opiate addiction to prescription pain pills, and his alcoholism. Adam later goes to Dr. Warnock's office, and there, in the waiting room, he meets Lola Jenkins, a drug representative who is also a professional escort, cocaine addict, and part of a blackmailing ring. She lures Adam, and other doctors, into sexual escapades that are photographed for extortion by a gang also involved in child trafficking. While in detox, at the urging of Dr. Warnock, his friend Ryan takes advantage of Maria's grief and sleeps over at her house a couple of nights-until Maria regains her senses. When moving out of Ryan's apartment, where he was staying, Adam finds a pair of Maria's blue panties in Ryan's laundry, abruptly ending their friendship. Were her panties a trophy? There is hope for Adam's recovery, but the battle is not over. Pitfalls and twists keep his addiction on the edge of his search for a new life. Includes Readers Guide.
On a warm summer's evening, while riding his bicycle with his girlfriend down a gentle slope something inexplicable happened. Suddenly, Adam flew over his handle bars, bounced on the street, and crushed the back of his head. TBI-traumatic brain injury. In that moment, Adam's life and the life of his family changed forever. Like tens of thousands of other young people who probably rode their bikes that day, Adam was not wearing a helmet. "Adam's Fall" tells a very personal story of a young man's struggle to survive first while in prolonged coma and then to heal and to recover himself. It is a story of the heroic efforts of doctors, nurses and therapists who saved his life and of those who have since supported his healing. But mostly, it is a story of a family facing every parent's worst nightmare, a story of faith and of hope that continues to unfold in often surprising ways.

Adam Pendleton: As Heavy as Sculpture
DISTRIBUTED ART PUBLISHERS
2021
sidottu
An artist's book exploring the language of protest A new artist's book by Adam Pendleton (born 1984), As Heavy as Sculpture follows Pendleton's 2021 installation of the same title, exhibited at the New Museum in New York. The book collects, repeats and processes over 80 source collages, incorporating drawings, sketches, writing and marks, often in combination with images. Much of the language in the collages is drawn from the protests against police brutality that swept the US in 2020: Pendleton has transcribed slogans sprayed on walls and windows, combining them with his own improvised language as well as photographs of art objects and artifacts (sculptures, masks and figures). The work points to the poetic pressure that uprisings place on language itself, compressing it in some cases into the barest of forms: simple sequences like “ACAB” or “1312,” further reducible to the elements “A, B, C,” “1, 2, 3.” In parallel with these operations of decomposition and recomposition, the collages in As Heavy as Sculpture have been duplicated, laid out across 30 sheets and folded into book signatures, creating new displacements and cuts. This folding is in effect a chance operation, a procedure of recombination and translation, resulting in arrangements of images not planned out in advance.
National Jewish Book Awards Finalist In the vein of The Chosen, Catcher in the Rye, and The Kite Runner comes Adam Unrehearsed, a "hilarious, deeply moving, coming-of-age comedy" (Yossi Klein Halevi). From the moment he's mugged on the subway home from Bat Day at Yankee Stadium, things go wrong for twelve-year-old Adam Miller. He is in the Special Program for brainy kids, but his new junior high is out of control. When he gets on the wrong side of several gangs and needs his friends most, they abandon him. As if that's not enough, Adam discovers that his older brother has become a Zionist militant, his synagogue is repeatedly vandalized, and despite Adam's "skinny voice," his crazy new Cantor has grandiose plans for his Bar Mitzvah. Meanwhile, Adam dreams of his summer camp girlfriend in far off New Rochelle, but he's too shy to pick up the phone. He even fails at shoplifting. Bewildered and alone, Adam finds his only solace onstage, where he discovers the power of theater to bridge social divides. As he learns to stand out and stand up for himself, friends appear in the most unexpected places and Adam Miller discovers his own voice. Adam Unrehearsed is a story of friendship, betrayal, life, death, and acting. Adam Unrehearsed is "comical...lyrical... menacing... gritty... tender... compassionate and propulsive" (Colum McCann), it's "funny, wise, heartbreaking and heart-healing..." (Pamela Schoenewaldt, Historical Novel Society). Set in New York in 1970, just as American Jewry is coming of age, this coming-of-age story is the next generation of great American Jewish fiction.
Adam and Eve from Darkness into the Light

Here I am now in the twenty-third century. The universe has not changed in more than two hundred years. There is still one race of beings trying to enslave another. For me, the grandchild of former slaves, my journey began in the 1940s with a light in the sky. Visiting a small town in the Southwest United States, I was captured by an alien life-form and altered by experiments by the aliens. Now the year was 2268. I was now in my grandparents' shoes, a slave to these Homo reptilian. This alien life had set out to make the human race extinct. I was now a mere sexual toy for their pleasure, a pawn of a mother and daughter to be fought over. I was sucked dry mentally and physically by these females. The subject of a betrayal by people in the human Alliance. They took from me what it took me a lifetime to build. Once I had been enslaved, I was fixed with both a physical and emotional ball and chain then placed in an already-made family with six daughters. These females had altered my life in never-ending ways. Because of them, I found myself being chased across the universe by these Homo reptilians and the human betrayers in the Alliance. Slavery had brought seven beautiful and brilliant females into my life. Also it had melded two worlds into one world. Because of this, my world had become a hell of a lot more dangerous than ever.
Sex changing has become the fad, and homosexuality has almost become commonplace. Some are defiantly in favor of this trend while others are adamantly against it. Is sexual perversion acceptable or not? The big question is, "What does the Creator of the human race have to say on the subject?"God leaves no doubt about what He thinks or says. He goes straight to the point and speaks the truth without compromise. The Holy Bible, from beginning to end, is full of God's comments on the sexuality of His creation. This book is intended to help you understand God's plan for you and your sexual choices. As for God, His way is perfect (Psalm 18:30).While the debate between right and wrong rages on, which side are you on? Arguments not based on truth are worthless.There is a simple, never-fail test that will reveal without a doubt whether you were meant to be a male or a female. If you embrace the truth, it will release true freedom into your life (John 8:32).
Adam, the Unknown is my interpretation of the facts from the Bible detailing Adam's life.
Adam's Chair is a narrative of one day in 1981 in Waltham Massachusetts. The shuttle, Columbia, orbits above. An elderly French Canadian escapes his sleeping wife and makes his way to Mt. Feake Cemetery before dawn, whose neighborhoods reflect the city's own, its waves of immigration. Priscilla, a home health aide, college dropout, and socialist since she turned sixteen, rides her bicycle to work at dawn. She gives baths, gives an English lesson, and reflects on the city whose founders included her ancestors, on her divorce, a hickey on her daughter's neck... The mayor visits The Sunshine Club. The shuttle sends down messages...---"...shakes up any conceived notion of what a contemporary work should be... challenging me to step outside of my comfort zone... I found beneath the surface a whole new world...The way their individual strands stick out, and yet, at the same time, blend together, created such a beautiful work of tapestry of literary elegance.You must have an open mind and a ready heart for this ... contemporary novel of the ages and a soon-to-be classic..."-- Lauren Stafford, The Manhattan Review of Books

Adam and Eve for Atheists: Who Will Rewrite the Holy Bible?
Fred R. Kuester
Dorrance Publishing Co.
2019
nidottu
This book is inspired by the life and eventual death of the author, Fred R. Kuester's, father. He was an atheist who rejected the entire Bible and the existence of God because of what he regarded as the absurdities of the Book of Genesis. In this book the first chapter presents a rational concept that everyone will agree is correct. Thus the title: Adam and Eve for Atheists. Kuester offers these concepts which he regards as truths: There is an afterlife, and there is a God in charge of that afterlife. He works in ways that we can only vaguely comprehend. The prehistory and even some of the history stories in the Holy Bible carry fascinating divine messages that are carried by the story. But they never were meant to be actual, precise history. That isn't how history was recorded in those days. Many of these stories carry useful messages for the people of our modern times. Kuester would like readers to study these stories, because he feels they matter. About the AuthorFred R. Kuester is a child of the Great Depression of the 1930s, but there was nothing great about it, as people were truly poor, and there wasn't money to cover much more than the simplest, basic needs, but through this, Kuester learned to be humble. As time went by, Kuester managed to graduate from Pulaski High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was able to move on to earn degrees in Forestry from Michigan State University and Auburn University. Foresters do not spend their careers sitting in towers looking for forest fires as many people suppose they do. However, Kuester did spend a lot of time putting out forest fires, and he liked that work. Regarding the demands of the curriculum, the forestry students did murk their way through some pretty challenging stuff such as statistical analysis of environmental situations. Kuester is quite certain that he coined the expression, "delusionary mathematics" described in this book, referring to the use of statistics without degrees of freedom, but fear not--there is no difficult math in this book In fact, none of Adam and Eve for Atheists is written in the style of university professors writing to each other. It is written by a non-premier student for understanding at almost any level of reading, including professors'. So enjoy
Adam Sinclair is a reclusive surrealist painter, in search of his muse and obsessed with his visions, who lives in a vast artist's compound in the Santa Cruz mountains. Leonora Bloom is an artist and scientist who isn't sure why she is so drawn to a man she's never met yet can't shake her obsession with him. After years of hiking the ridge above Adam's property, she finally knocks on his door. Inside Adam's house, enormous paintings of golden spirals, cosmic stars, and cobalt universes cover the walls, vibrating with energy and mystery - and though he is aloof, the chemistry between him and Leonora is immediate. When the younger woman catches a glimpse of an old black-and-white photograph of his deceased wife, Pauline, who could be her twin, she begins to understand why. Interwoven with Leonora's tale are the voices of modern-day Don Quixote Adam's muses: Pauline, a talented writer who lives in both 1940s New York City and Mexico; and Mimi Saucier, a sultry singer from 1930s Paris. The two women play off characters of the Surrealist movement including Andre Breton, Remedios Varo, and Wolfgang Paalen, creating worlds of dreamy enchantment. Filled with intrigue and tension, secrets and admissions, and the colorful imagery of a painter's mind, Adam and Leonora explores Leonora's quest to discover Adam's secret to the creative pulse of life - a journey into the surreal.
