    Terrible Freedom (eBook, ePUB)
    From her childhood in Detroit to her professional career in New York City, American composer Lucia Dlugoszewski (1925-2000) lived a life of relentless creativity as a poet and writer, composer for dance, theater, and film, and, eventually, choreographer. Forging her own path after briefly studying with John Cage and Edgard Varèse, Dlugoszewski tackled the musical issues of her time. She expanded sonic resources, invented instruments, brought new focus to timbre and texture, collaborated with artists across disciplines, and incorporated spiritual, psychological, and philosophical influences into her work. Remembered today almost solely as the musical director for the Erick Hawkins Dance Company, Dlugoszewski's compositional output, writings on aesthetics, creative relationships, and graphic poetry deserve careful examination on their own terms within the history of American experimental music.

    The Gods Themselves (eBook, ePUB)
    In the twenty-second century Earth obtains limitless, free energy from a source science little understands: an exchange between Earth and a parallel universe, using a process devised by the aliens. But even free energy has a price. The transference process itself will eventually lead to the destruction of the Earth's Sun-and of Earth itself. Only a few know the terrifying truth-an outcast Earth scientist, a rebellious alien inhabitant of a dying planet, a lunar-born human intuitionist who senses the imminent annihilation of the Sun. They know the truth-but who will listen? They have foreseen the cost of abundant energy-but who will believe? These few beings, human and alien, hold the key to Earth's survival.

    Oracles of the Cosmos
    The divide between science and religion has its roots in the early modern period. In the first part, the popular talk of oracles of reason is traced back to the ancient oracles published in the 15th century, and it is shown how this led to the emergence of a "natural" theology that does without revelation, so that eventually reference to a divine creator seems superfluous. In the second part, using the concept of the cosmos, it is shown that mathematics, especially geometry, has been part of the theological interpretation of Creation since the Middle Ages. From this developed the concept of transcendence as rooted in human thought. Therefore, cosmos, creation, and humanity, which are mutually exclusive, form a unity of complementary elements.

    Aida Libido: WHAT BECOMES A FELON MOST?! (eBook, ePUB)

In this "What Becomes a Felon Most" - Volume 2 in the AIN'T NO LADY saga -- Aida defends herself from accusations of the gruesome slaughter of said third husband who (we soon learn) treated her in less than faithful ways. Guilty or not, her adventures eventually include becoming the target of Islamic terrorists, oversexed African primates, and corrupt Russian oligarchs.
