The First Comprehensive History of Transcendentalism American Transcendentalism is a comprehensive narrative history of America's first group of public intellectuals, the men and women who defined American literature and indelibly marked American reform in the decades before and following the America Civil War. Philip F. Gura masterfully traces their intellectual genealogy to transatlantic religious and philosophical ideas, illustrating how these informed the fierce local theological debates that, so often first in Massachusetts and eventually throughout America, gave rise to practical, personal, and quixotic attempts to improve, even perfect the world. The transcendentalists would painfully bifurcate over what could be attained and how, one half epitomized by Ralph Waldo Emerson and stressing self-reliant individualism, the other by Orestes Brownson, George Ripley, and Theodore Parker, emphasizing commitment to the larger social good.

But there's no such thing as a time machine... Inventor Dr. Angus McAran, born brilliant but deformed, had as little use for other people as they had for him. Until the day he met the Neanderthal - and Angus discovered that he had a destiny, one that he wasn't sure he wanted... or could avoid. This novella is the origin story of Doc Angus and his time traveling organization, GRIPE, from Christopher Stasheff's Warlock of Gramarye series. Although the hardcover is a book of Stasheff's short stories, this ebook contains only the novella Mind Out of Time and the GRIPE short story King John's Treasure. Views: 132

As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades.

### Product Description Police Sergeant Mike Dunwoody is a small-town cop, nearing the end of his service in New Mexico. Having moved out of the big city some years ago to give his kids a chance; he’s now looking forward to a long retirement now they’ve grown up and following their own careers. One evening, whilst waiting for two local miscreants who use the highway as a drag strip for their pickups, he sees something odd in the desert and goes to investigate. A flash flood fills the dry gulch with swirling water, and he sees what he believes is a child, being swept off to certain death by the turbulent water. Entering the water with a rope tied off to his patrol vehicle, he risks his life to save the child, but as he reaches dry land, he discovers that it is not a child, at least not a human child. Years of the wrong food, bad sleep patterns and a general lack of care for his body, his heart suffers a potentially fatal attack, so his sacrifice leaves the captain of the alien ship with something of a quandary. Mike’s body is beyond repair, but as the individual he saved is special, the captain decides to revive Mike, but so as not to risk certain exposure; the cloned body is slightly modified so the new Mike will not be able to tell of the experience. The modifications? Mike wakes up as Michelle; and Michelle is an awful lot more efficient than most girls are; once she gets used to the being a girl bit, that is. Views: 131
“Hold on there! Go easy, now, fellows,” cautioned Bart Keene to his two chums, as they stole softly along in the darkness. “What are you making all that racket for, Ned?” “It wasn’t me; it was Frank.” “I couldn’t help it,” came from Frank Roscoe in a whisper. “I stumbled on a stone.”
