Books with author Samuel Miller

After 30,000 years of torment, Prometheus has been released from his punishment for bringing fire to humankind. He now runs a small school outside of Athens where he tells his students his eyewitness account of humanity’s creation. Meanwhile, up on Mt. Olympus, Zeus casts his gaze upon one of Prometheus’s disciples, Chastia, who is engaged to Demetrios, a fellow student. However, Hera, the jealous spouse of Zeus, watches his every move. The Fire Bringer takes readers on a journey that gives life to the stories of the great Olympian gods and goddesses. Discover what it means to be entrusted with the gift of fire, and why Prometheus betrayed his own king to save a lowly race of mortals. Learn about our Western mythological roots and experience these all-too-human archetypes. (Age 12 and up)

A crucial, genre-bending tale, equal parts Ned Vizzini and Patrick Ness, about the life-saving power of friendship.Solomon and Ash both experienced a traumatic event when they were twelve.Ash lost all memory of that event when she fell from Solomon's treehouse. Since then, Solomon has retreated further and further into a world he seems to have created in his own mind. One that insulates him from reality, but crawls with foes and monsters . . . in both animal and human form. As Solomon slips further into the place he calls Darkside, Ash realizes her only chance to free her best friend from his pain is to recall exactly what happened that day in his backyard and face the truth--together. Fearless and profound, Sam J. Miller's follow up to his award-winning debut novel, The Art of Starving, spins an intimate and impactful tale that will linger with readers.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ...after having examined definitions and illustrations of all the species found in this country, that have been refewed to Graphiocrinus, by different authors, we are fully convinced that the genus has not been found in America. When Prof. James Hall founded the genus Scaphiocrinus, in the Geology of Iowa, Vol. I, p. 55l, and described the type, Scaphiocrinus simplex, he very clearly distinguished it from Graphiocrinus. The species here described is distinguished from Scaphiocrinus simplex, by having twelve arms instead of ten, which is a good specific distinction but not of generic importance. It is distinguished again from S. simplex, which has six azygous plates or more, that rise above the calyx, by having only one azygous plate confined between the plates of the calyx. This may be of generic importance, but we are not willing to found a new genus upon differences of doubtful importance, when they are known to belong to only a single species. In each case the first azygous plate truncates a subradial and the difference consists, in the additional plates, that separate the second radials and first arm plates, in one species, that do not exist in the other. We prefer, at present, to regard this as of specific importance only. The distinction made by Prof. Hall between Scaphiocrinus and Poteriocrinus is a good one and all the species he referred to Scaphiocrinus properly belong there, as well as some that others have defined. None of them belong to Graphiocrinus. Found in the Kinderhook Group, at LeGrand, Iowa, and now in the collection of Wm. F. E. Gurley. Family AGASSIZOCEINIBE. AGASSIZOCRINUS OVALIS, n. Sp. Plate II, Fig. i3, an entire specimen viewed opposite to azygous area; Fig. i4, azygous side, of another calyx. Species large, contracted at...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
