The Chrome E Manuscripts

At the dawn of the 21st Century a new universe of reflection within America reveals itself through deep spiritual inner-observation and extra-sensory perception; THE UNIVERSE OF CHROME. There e-manuscripts are a life journal of self-discovery and achievement, compiled for many years and electronically written and created in the last 15 years. It reveals the existence of human perception across space and time, as it brings forth a futuristic sports culture heterosexual Christian based religion, a divine spiritual language code that translates and interprets accurate numeric messages, and its measurements of time uses the memory of Jesus Christ as a prophetic time marker of fulfillment. It introduces the CHROME Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts (a heterosexual scouts' program) with a civic practice program and rank ascension. The program is focused on self-achievement and excellence represented by CHROME; the tallest royal tower trophy in the universe.

Devotion to the Name of Jesus in Medieval English Literature, c. 1100 - c. 1530 offers a broad but detailed study of the practice of devotion to the Name of Jesus in late medieval England. It focuses on key texts written in Latin, Anglo-Norman, and Middle English that demonstrate the way in which devotion moved from monastic circles to a lay public in the late medieval period. It argues that devotion to the Name is a core element of Richard Rolle's contemplative practice, although devotion to the Name circulated in trilingual England at an earlier stage. The volume investigates to what extent the 1274 Second Lyon Council had an impact in the spread of the devotion in England, and beyond. It also offers illuminating evidence about how Margery Kempe and her scribes used devotion, how Eleanor Hull made it an essential component of her meditative sequence seven days of the week, and how Lady Margaret Beaufort worked towards its instigation as an official feast.

The Grove Encyclopedia of Islamic Art and Architecture is the most comprehensive reference work in this complex and diverse area of art history. Built on the acclaimed scholarship of the Grove Dictionary of Art, this work offers over 1,600 up-to-date entries on Islamic art and architecture ranging from the Middle East to Central and South Asia, Africa, and Europe and spans over a thousand years of history. Recent changes in Islamic art in areas such as Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq are elucidated here by distinguished scholars. Entries provide in-depth art historical and cultural information about dynasties, art forms, artists, architecture, rulers, monuments, archaeological sites and stylistic developments. In addition, over 500 illustrations of sculpture, mosaic, painting, ceramics, architecture, metalwork and calligraphy illuminate the rich artistic tradition of the Islamic world. With the fundamental understanding that Islamic art is not limited to a particular region, or to a defined period of time, The Grove Encyclopedia of Islamic Art and Architecture offers pathways into Islamic culture through its art.

A Private Eye, originally from Florida, now living in Baltimore, is hired to find a famous missing horror author and his latest manuscript, the writer, one of Mobtown's own. Tender nodded in the direction of the dead Venom. “What’s on his right arm?” “Believe it or not, it’s a Webster’s Dictionary. Here, use my pen to flip through these page numbers on this log. Be careful—it’s a Paper Mate. Here’s a pad; write down the words that are highlighted.” Tender bent down and crossed under the yellow-and-black tape surrounding the crime scene. “I have my own notebook and pen, a Montblanc.” “Well, excuse me for livin’, hon!” Omaha said with a smile. “What’s with the ‘Caution: Wet Paint’ on the strip surrounding the body?” “All the ‘Police Line: Do Not Cross’ ones are being used; Captain Calvert ordered more, but Chief Crossland said they haven’t arrived.” “Busy day, huh?” “It’s Thursday.”... “You were a bad boy; it was deserved,” PI Tender stated. “Revenge murder, huh?... “Seems likely.” “Think he was on the take with the mob?” Tender questioned. “Wouldn’t have thought it, but his nose area does look somewhat raw. Get a little closer, check out his mouth.” “It’s full of oysters!” “Definitely a full house,” Omaha said. “Are those bloodstains on his shirt?” “Cocktail sauce. Sergeant Small was able to get a little taste. A negligible amount of blood around the wound...

During the last decade, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes have attracted special interest as new nanocarbons with novel properties. Because of their hollow caged structure, they can be used as containers for atoms and molecules, and nanotubes can be used as miniature test-tubes. Chemistry of Nanocarbons presents the most up-to-date research on chemical aspects of nanometer-sized forms of carbon, with emphasis on fullerenes, nanotubes and nanohorns. All modern chemical aspects are mentioned, including noncovalent interactions, supramolecular assembly, dendrimers, nanocomposites, chirality, nanodevices, host-guest interactions, endohedral fullerenes, magnetic resonance imaging, nanodiamond particles and graphene. The book covers experimental and theoretical aspects of nanocarbons, as well as their uses and potential applications, ranging from molecular electronics to biology and medicine.
