Fifteenth-century Venice is a dangerous time to be alive. A permanent winter has rolled in over the canals and bodies keep washing up on the banks of the city. Each victim has been skinned. In the present day, a famous portrait by Titian has been discovered. Its subject: the Fifteenth-century suspected murderer Angelico Vespucci, known as The Skin Hunter. Leading New York dealer, Triumph Jones, encourages the rumor that "when the portrait arises, so will the man." And when flayed bodies start turning up in Tokyo, London and Venice, it begins to look like more than just a superstition. Previously a location finder for the film industry, Nino Bergstrom has just recovered from a serious illness. As a favor to the friend who helped him, the dealer, Gasser Reni, he investigates the murder and flaying of Seraphina Morgan. In Venice he comes across Seraphinaâ??s louche husband and the flamboyant Johnny Ravenscourt, moving onto Tokyo where he encounters the Japanese dealer of the macabre, Jobo Kido. As the dealers vie to get their hands on the Titian portrait--some for its beauty, others for its notoriety as being the first portrait of a serial killer--each becomes a suspect. And then Nino makes the connection between the Fifteenth century murderer and his Twenty-first-century imitator. Each of the contemporary century victims had something in common with their Fifteenth-century counterpart. Further investigations lead Nino deeper into the depraved world of Angelico Vespucci, the original Skin Hunter. Then, after the deaths and mutilation of three women--on the anniversaries of Vespucciâ??s crimes â?? Nino realizes that the date for the fourth killing is due. He has to find the last victim and save her. And he has only ten days to do it.

True Identity

Cracking the Oldest Kidnapping Cold Case and Finding My Missing Twin

By: Paul Joseph Fronczak,Alex Tresniowski

When he was ten years old, Paul Fronczak was snooping around for Christmas presents in a crawl space in his family’s Chicago home. There, he found hundreds of old newspaper clippings about the kidnapping of a one-day-old infant in a hospital in 1964. He also learned that, two years later, the boy was found and returned to his family—and that the boy was him. Nearly fifty years later, Paul, acting on long-held suspicions, took a DNA test that proved he was not the kidnapped boy. In an instant, he found himself at the center of two half-century-old mysteries—who was he, and where was the real Paul? True Identity is about three separate major investigations—the hunt for the real Paul Fronczak; the search for the author’s missing twin sister Jill; and finally, the investigation into his true identity, his heart and soul and the demons inside him—inherited and created—that still need to be confronted.

Escalating Droughts

By: Alex David

Water is an essential element of life. We need it for our crops, for drinking, and for cooling off, but we often take it for granted. However, as Earth's climate changes in response to human activity, our relationship to water will also change. This book examines the history of droughts in countries all over the world, feuds related to water shortage, and innovative technological solutions that could help more people have access to water. Readers will learn about solutions as seemingly strange as dragging glaciers to Africa alongside practical ways to waste less water, like xeriscaping yards and collecting rainwater.

Back to the Universe-Centered

Navigating Faith, Science, and Existence

By: Alex Tang DBA

In a world teetering on the brink of uncertainty, where the boundaries between faith, science, and existence blur, 'Back to the Universe-Centered' invites readers on a captivating journey of exploration and contemplation. With thought-provoking insights drawn from the realms of theology, philosophy, and cutting-edge science, this book embarks on a quest to unravel the mysteries that define our existence. From the profound revelations of Revelation to the thought-provoking reflections on the complexities of human understanding, each page offers a glimpse into the intricate tapestry of our universe. Delving into the depths of faith, the introduction sets the stage for a discourse that transcends traditional boundaries, challenging readers to embrace diverse perspectives and engage in open dialogue. As the narrative unfolds, the book navigates through the tangled web of scientific advancements, from artificial intelligence to gene-editing, from cyber warfare to existential threats. Through meticulous research and insightful analysis, the author sheds light on the ethical dilemmas and existential quandaries that accompany these transformative technologies. Yet, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, a beacon of hope emerges. Drawing inspiration from the timeless wisdom of scripture and the enduring promise of salvation, the epilogue offers a rallying cry for action and solidarity. Urging governments and institutions to confront the looming threat of cyberattacks and emerging technologies, the author issues an impassioned plea for collaboration and decisive action. At its core, 'Back to the Universe-Centered' is more than just a book; it is a call to arms, a testament to the enduring power of faith, and a roadmap for navigating the complexities of our ever-evolving world. As we stand at the crossroads of history, let us heed the wisdom contained within these pages and embrace the challenges that lie ahead.

Los santos de Agua Mansa, California

Una novela

By: Alex Espinoza

Agua Mansa, un pueblo en gran parte hispano más allá de la periferia de Los Ángeles, es el hogar de Perla Portillo y su Botánica Oshún, adonde acude la gente en busca de amuletos, hierbas y velas. Más que nada, buscan los consejos de Perla, quien ha estado al servicio de la comunidad durante años, armando a sus clientes con las herramientas que necesitan para sobrellevar todo tipo de crisis, tanto grandes como pequeñas. Tenemos a Juan, un hombre que intenta aceptar la muerte de su padre; Nancy, una maestra de escuela recién casada; Shawn, un adicto que busca la paz dentro de su caótica vida; y Rosa, una adolescente que intenta bajar de peso y encontrarse a sí misma. Pero cuando llega un cliente con un pasado turbulento y misterioso, Perla lucha por ayudarlo y debe hacer frente tanto a sus ilusiones frustradas como a sus dudas acerca del lugar que le corresponde en un mundo que cambia con mucha rapidez. Imaginativa, alentadora, lírica, hermosamente escrita, Los santos de Agua Mansa, California, es una novela que evoca lo imprevisible de la vida y la persistencia del espíritu a través de las vidas de los habitantes de Agua Mansa y, en especial, de la mujer que se encuentra al centro de todo. Sus historias son aquéllas de la fe y la traición, el amor y la pérdida, los lazos de la familia y la comunidad, y la constancia del cambio. “Tan perfecta como las cuentas de un rosario . . . capaz de renovar la fe que tiene uno en la nueva narrativa”. –Sandra Cisneros, autora de La casa en Mango Street “Original, mágica, hermosa y evocadora . . . ofrece una ventana a un mundo que la mayoría nunca vemos”. –Lisa See, autora de Snow Flower and the Secret Fan “Alex Espinoza está en camino de convertirse en el Faulkner de su propio paisaje encantado, aquel de la comunidad de Agua Mansa, tierra adentro en el sur de California. Este lugar cobrará vida ante los lectores de todo el país a través de una prosa delicada, exquisita e infundida de espíritu”. –Susan Straight, autora de Highwire Moon

The Greenhouse Effect - A Legacy

By: Alex Cook

Climate change with global warming has arrived on the U.S. mid-continent. Violent storms followed by development of dust bowl conditions bring reality to disbelieving residents. Calvin Carpenter, retired physical science professor, has become inspired to ghost write a series of Internet messages containing the basic elements of atmospheric science and the greenhouse effect; neighbors and friends begin to give thoughtful analysis to his words. Calvin, coping with lost love, and Kathy, committed to her music profession after the recent death of husband, are destined to enjoy frequent contact and become caring neighbors. Effects of a monster storm require unique solutions and foster an enduring love. They begin to rediscover the need for a human culture living in harmony with the land and lead their community in adapting to the natural laws of modified climate. Embedded in this story are factual descriptions of the relevant science for readers to give analytic thought to global warming. Alex Cook is the pseudonym for Clyde R. Burnett, a retired physics professor and atmospheric scientist. He developed an expertise in spectroscopic measurements of atmospheric constituents and has been active in securing atmospheric data from Colorado, Alaska, Florida, Micronesia, and New Zealand, relating to the concern of stratospheric ozone destruction. He is responsible, along with his students and colleagues, for securing the longest published series of measurements of atmospheric hydroxyl (an atmospheric constituent involved in the photochemistry of ozone) in the world. Dr. Burnett is knowledgeable about the physics of the greenhouse effect and is familiar with the recent scientific literature on climate change. He has lived in the Front Range high country of Colorado for over 30 years, and has dedicated his weekends as volunteer naturalist at Golden Gate Canyon State Park, Colorado and, in wintertime sojourns to Boca Raton, Florida, at the Arthur Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge.
