Book excerpt: "On April 20, 1914, in the small railroad town of Ludlow, Colorado, striking coalminers and state National Guardsmen waged a day-long battle that ended with the burning of a strikers' tent colony. The "Ludlow Massacre," as it is known, was only part of a seven-month war in which at least seventy-five people were killed. In Blood Passion, journalist Scott Martelle explores this largely forgotten American saga of coalminers rising against political and economic corruption, a fight that embraced some of the most volatile social movements of the early twentieth century."--Cover.

Book excerpt: Book I This engaging, and gripping story, is the memoirs of young Michael Valli; a Modern Gothic American Horror chronicle which takes place in the present-day picturesque waterfront town of Mystic; which has a folklore history of Vampires allegedly residing there, circa the late Eighteen Hundreds. This is the elegiac story of; Michael's struggle with the Gothic passions of good and the depraved horrors of evil, a 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde', and 'Psycho' circumstance, in which innocence is challenged by the Vampiric thirst for human blood. How will he survive, living with this macabre inner nemesis that he denominates as... Malice Nightwing. That question is, the hypothesis of Michael's plight, which keeps the reader and would keep an audience, on the edge of their own sanity, having a love hate relationship with the main character of this tragic tale of Michael's encounter with a mutated Vampire Bat; transported to the beautiful waterfront town of Mystic, from Mexico City, Mexico unknowingly by two of his neighbours; which had been vacationing there. Try as Michael does, to adjust to this estranged way of existing, until the love for, and of, a woman, makes him realize the horror of this way of life, now becoming a 'Beauty And The Beast' scenario, which then escalates the already ongoing conflict between Michael and his alter-ego Malice, strongly endangering them to their probable destruction, and or, demise... Book II The continuing story of the BLOOD PASSION Saga; the classic modern Gothic conflict; between the untainted passions of Good and the unbearable horrors of Evil, for which the ingenuous; through no fault of their own, are compelled to deal with, because of the obstinate curse of a life sustaining thirst to ingest the Blood of living beings. How does one deal with, living a life with an iniquitous ravenous desire to consume fresh Blood? You, the reader must abide, if you so dare; This journey through the BLOOD PASSION curse to reveal, how it is endured. Book III The continuance of the Modern Gothic American Horror conflict; between the untainted Passions of Good and the unbridled Horrors of Evil, for which the ingenuous through no fault of their own are compelled to deal with, because of being endowed with the obstinate curse of a life sustaining need, to ingest fresh Blood of living beings on a regular basis. This astonishing Novel is the telling of Rachael's coming of age story, and of how she must handle her extraordinary way of life, in which, the iniquitous ravenous desire to consume the fresh Blood of a living organism must ensue to sustain her very own strange dilemma of being born from what was once the tainted Love, between a Normal Human Mother and a Living Vampire Father.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable BookAn ALA Notable Book "Original and illuminating." --The Washington Post What draws our species to war? What makes us see violence as a kind of sacred duty, or a ritual that boys must undergo to "become" men? Newly reissued in paperback, Blood Rites takes readers on an original journey from the elaborate human sacrifices of the ancient world to the carnage and holocaust of twentieth-century "total war." Ehrenreich sifts deftly through the fragile records of prehistory and discovers the wellspring of war in an unexpected place -- not in a "killer instinct" unique to the males of our species, but in the blood rites early humans performed to reenact their terrifying experiences of predation by stronger carnivores. Brilliant in conception and rich in scope, Blood Rites is a monumental work that continues to transform our understanding of the greatest single threat to human life.

Book excerpt: The coauthors of the bestselling Peak Performance dive into the fascinating science behind passion, showing how it can lead to a rich and meaningful life while also illuminating the ways in which it is a double-edged sword. Here’s how to cultivate a passion that will take you to great heights—while minimizing the risk of an equally great fall. Common advice is to find and follow your passion. A life of passion is a good life, or so we are told. But it's not that simple. Rarely is passion something that you just stumble upon, and the same drive that fuels breakthroughs—whether they're athletic, scientific, entrepreneurial, or artistic—can be every bit as destructive as it is productive. Yes, passion can be a wonderful gift, but only if you know how to channel it. If you're not careful, passion can become an awful curse, leading to endless seeking, suffering, and burnout. Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness once again team up, this time to demystify passion, showing readers how they can find and cultivate their passion, sustainably harness its power, and avoid its dangers. They ultimately argue that passion and balance--that other virtue touted by our culture--are incompatible, and that to find your passion, you must lose balance. And that's not always a bad thing. They show readers how to develop the right kind of passion, the kind that lets you achieve great things without ruining your life. Swift, compact, and powerful, this thought-provoking book combines captivating stories of extraordinarily passionate individuals with the latest science on the biological and psychological factors that give rise to—and every bit as important, sustain—passion.
