The maniacal debut novel by James Gearheart is a wild ride of sex drugs and philosophy. It details Michael Jackson's role in the Apocalypse and it destroys and recreates reality through the use of magic words and ice cream. Storyline: It is October 1999, and Cyrus Dresden is an unemployed philosophy professor who was recently released from the state mental facility. He is desperate to win back the love and respect of his ex-fiancé, Sara Lundy when he receives a call from an old friend, Adam Butcher, who needs his help. Adam’s girlfriend, the brilliant and beautiful mathematician, Amanda Tavaras, has created a predictive model that identifies the date and time of the Apocalypse as midnight on the millennial New Year’s Eve. Amanda has also awoken with a vision where she realizes that mankind has been involved in a supernatural game that ends at the same time as her predicted Apocalyptic timeline. Cyrus leads the trio on a philosophical and scientific quest to understand our place in the universe before the strike of midnight on the millennial New Year’s Eve. However, the trio does not realize that their combined destinies have been prophesized in secret church documents written decades before they were born. To prevent the prophecies from being realized, Cardinal Francisco Allemande captures Sara Lundy and plans to hold her hostage in his private office in the Vatican until after the New Year. Cyrus must embark on the hero’s journey and lead a group of friends with the help of an army of Michael Jackson impersonators to rescue Sara from the Vatican and discover the clues to winning the most critical game in human history before time runs out

This book contains the proceedings of a symposium held at the College of Charleston, Charleston, South Carolina, USA, 16-20 June 1986. The seed for this symposium arose from a group of physiologists , soU scientists and biochemists that met in Leningrad, USSR in July 1975 at the 12th Botanical Conference in a Session organized by Professor B.B. Vartepetian. This group and others later conspired to contribute to a book entitled Plant Life in Anaerobic Environments (eds. D. D. Hook and R. M. M. Crawford, Ann Arbor Science, 1978). Several contributors to the book suggested in 1983 that a broad-scoped symposium on wetlands would be useful (a) in facilitating communication among the diverse research groups involved in wetlands research (b) in bringing researchers and managers together and (c) in presenting a com prehensive and balanced coverage on the status of ecology ami management of wetlands from a global perspective. With this encouragement, the senior editor organized a Plan ning Committee that encompassed expertise from many disciplines of wetland scientists and managers. This Committee, with input from their colleagues around the world, organized a symposium that addressed almost every aspect of wetland ecology and management.
In this highly-regarded work, Whittaker forcefully advocates the need for residential treatment as part of a larger continuum of treatment, and explores the context of the setting itself as a dynamic therapeutic factor. Now available in paperback, this book remains among the most notable attempts in the field to utilize an ecological perspective.
An age has passed since the fall of the old world and the rise of the malignant Dust people. Despite the terrors of this new age, humanity lingers within the wreckage of civilization, bound together only by the promise of a better existence in the next life. Yet not all are satisfied by this stagnant dogma. Within the ramshackle and smoggy city of Fort Palmer, eight-year-old Doran Osrik and his new friend, Alena, stand apart from the human Union, struggling alone to regain their races lost glory. Unfortunately the unquiet dead and forces of faith do not take kindly to those who try to fix a broken world. As Doran and Alenas quest to save the future leads each of them down a dark and ruinous path, they are cast apart across the lands of Limbo where they must overcome the monstrous dusters and the fear within themselves if they ever hope to see each other again.
