Rayon the dust bunny and a vacuum abhorred

Rayon the dust bunny and a vacuum abhorred

A. Michael Collins

On any other day just another dust bunny landing on a boy's wretchedly squalid bedroom floor would go unnoticed. But not this time. The arrival of Rayon, an intrusively bright blue dust bunny recently entangled from a hat, triggers a full-scale tidy-up. Now every tribe of dust bunny in the house is in danger of being inhaled by the insatiable central vacuum system. But, from the sound of it's feeble gasping, that old, congested and wheezing vacuum cleaner needs some professional maintenance before it's full power can be unleashed on the defenceless dust bunnies. With only 48 hours until the repairman comes, Rayon and his new friends Knickers, Stour, Twill and the fluff-brained fuzzballs have to make their perilous way from basement to attic to recruit the forces of entropy, entanglement and technology in a bid to save themselves - and every tribe of dust bunny in the house - from certain annihilation...the Spring Clean.

Are You a Refugee or a Citizen of the Kingdom of God? Bishop Michael Collins Brown In a world marked by displacement and uncertainty, Are You a Refugee or a Citizen of the Kingdom of God? invites readers to reflect on their spiritual identity through the metaphor of citizenship and exile. The book contrasts the unsettled, disconnected experience of living as a spiritual refugee with the rooted, empowered existence of a citizen in God's Kingdom. Exploring themes of belonging, Kingdom values, and Christian identity, it offers a deep, biblical exploration of how believers can transition from spiritual estrangement to a life of purpose, empowerment, and transformation. Join Brown as he calls believers to examine where they truly belong and challenges them to embrace their full identity in Christ.

From the BOOKER-shortlisted author of THE KEEPERS OF TRUTH. A writer's journey towards fatherhood throws up shadows from his past.Karl is a troubled writer standing on the precipice of forty. After a degree of success in his early career he is now battling with what he terms his 'opus', his legacy to the world. But his partner Lori, the main breadwinner, is also thinking about her destiny and wants a child. As they embark on fertility treatment, Karl is forced to confront his deepest fear - that he will turn out to be like his father, a travelling salesman who was found dead after apparently committing murder when Karl was just thirteen. Unbeknown to Lori, Karl has already taken loans out against their house to pay for his mother's care home, and his freelance work, ghosting for a crime writer called Perry Fennimore, has dried up. As the fertility treatment progresses, Karl feels increasingly distanced from his relationship and the safety of home, and attracted to the shadowlands of Chicago's backstreets. When Fennimore re-emerges with a proposal, Karl begins to tap this new source of creativity - but just how far will he go in his pursuit of the ultimate story?

The Death of a Writer

The Death of a Writer

Michael Collins

University of Iowa Press
2021
nidottu
For Robert Pendleton, a professor clinging to tenure and living in the shambles of his once-bright literary career, death seems to be the only remaining option. But his suicide attempt fails, halted at the last moment by the intervention of Adi Wiltshire, a graduate student battling her own demons of failure and thwarted ambition. During Pendleton's long convalescence, Adi discovers a novel hidden in his basement: a brilliant, semi-autobiographical story with a gruesome child-murder at its core. The publication of Scream causes a storm of publicity: a whirlwind into which Adi, Horowitz and the still-incapacitated Pendleton are thrust. The novel is treated as an existential masterpiece and looks set to bring its author the success he's always sought – when, ironically, he is no longer in a condition to appreciate it – until questions begin to be asked about its content: in particular about the uncanny resemblance between Pendleton's fictional crime and a real-life, unresolved local murder. Enter Jon Ryder, a world-weary detective who could have walked off the pages of a police thriller, and the hunt for the murderer is on.

Ambrose Feeney has seen his hopes and ambitions dashed by others' influence and his own inertia. His Limerick is an old siege city of walls, both real and psychological. As Ambrose descends into lunacy he paints a starkly sane portrait of one family's life in an Ireland unsoftened by the mists of legend. The Life and Times of a Teaboy begins with the recollection of a Christmas past and ends with the entrance of the principal character into a lunatic asylum; a crisis in personal growth that mirrors the nation's.

Reissued with a new preface by the author on the fiftieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 journey to the moonThe years that have passed since Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins piloted the Apollo 11 spacecraft to the moon in July 1969 have done nothing to alter the fundamental wonder of the event: man reaching the moon remains one of the great events--technical and spiritual--of our lifetime. In Carrying the Fire, Collins conveys, in a very personal way, the drama, beauty, and humor of that adventure. He also traces his development from his first flight experiences in the air force, through his days as a test pilot, to his Apollo 11 voyage, presenting an evocative picture of the joys of flight as well as a new perspective on time, light, and movement from someone who has seen the fragile earth from the other side of the moon.

Across Atlantic Ice

Across Atlantic Ice

Dennis J. Stanford; Bruce A. Bradley; Michael Collins

University of California Press
2013
pokkari
Who were the first humans to inhabit North America? According to the now familiar story, mammal hunters entered the continent some 12,000 years ago via a land bridge that spanned the Bering Sea. Distinctive stone tools belonging to the Clovis culture established the presence of these early New World people. But are the Clovis tools Asian in origin? Drawing from original archaeological analysis, paleoclimatic research, and genetic studies, noted archaeologists Dennis J. Stanford and Bruce A. Bradley challenge the old narrative and, in the process, counter traditional - and often subjective - approaches to archaeological testing for historical relatedness. The authors apply rigorous scholarship to a hypothesis that places the technological antecedents of Clovis in Europe and posits that the first Americans crossed the Atlantic by boat and arrived earlier than previously thought. Supplying archaeological and oceanographic evidence to support this assertion, the book dismantles the old paradigm while persuasively linking Clovis technology with the culture of the Solutrean people who occupied France and Spain more than 20,000 years ago.

A known fantasist is conveniently believed by a vindictive management in a desperate act of self-preservation that suits their corrupt agenda. This true account of an abuse of power shows the unjust unfathomable influence an evil unscrupulous pharmaceutical giant has with authority. The influence that they overzealously exert many times in their attempt to destroy an employee with a conscience and courage to speak up, whom they wish to silence. They try to destroy everything in his life: character, home, marriage, family, sanity and career, wilfully ignoring an attempt on his life and so much more. This truth is more shocking than fiction. This should be a thriller, but sadly it actually happened.

A Crooked River

A Crooked River

Michael L. Collins

University of Oklahoma Press
2018
sidottu
During the turbulent years of the Civil War and Reconstruction, a squall of violence and lawlessness swept through the Nueces Strip and the Rio Grande Valley in southern Texas. Cattle rustlers, regular troops, and Texas Rangers, as well as Civil War deserters and other characters of questionable reputation, clashed with Mexicans, Germans, and Indians over unionism, race, livestock, land, and national sovereignty, among other issues. In A Crooked River, Michael L. Collins presents a rousing narrative of these events that reflects perspectives of people on both sides of the Rio Grande. Retracing a path first opened by historian Walter Prescott Webb, A Crooked River reveals parts of the tale that Webb never told. Collins brings a cross-cultural perspective to the role of the Texas Rangers in the continuing strife along the border during the late nineteenth century. He draws on many rare and obscure sources to chronicle the incidents of the period, bringing unprecedented depth and detail to such episodes as the ""skinning wars,"" the raids on El Remolino and Las Cuevas, and the attack on Nuecestown. Along the way, he dispels many entrenched legends of Texas history - in particular, the long-held belief that almost all of the era's cattle thieves were Mexican. A balanced and thorough reevaluation, A Crooked River adds a new dimension to the history of the racial and cultural conflict that defined the border region and that still echoes today.

Originally published in 1974 this book examines the problems confronting the London public transport system in the 1970s. After a brief historical introduction the book then pays particular attention to planning, capital investment, co-ordination, the relationship between transport and housing, the competition between road and rail and the grants paid by central government. There are 15 case studies of significant topics ranging from station car parks to bus lanes, new tube trains to facilities for pedestrians. Although the focus is on London, many of the issues are common to other UK cities and across the world.
