Bøger af Bruce Taylor

A highly original work on the lives & careers of these perennially popular ships.

This book stands on the shoulders of sustainability engineering insights to identify blind spots in conventional business, engineering, and environmental school curricula that result in substantial missed opportunities.

The stories in this collection, all unpublished until now, are a testament to the impact of great writing. From the strange and surreal/magic realist writings of Kafka to the brilliant joy of Bradbury's imagination unleashed, writer Bruce Taylor learned well from these masters of expression. And with time, began to blend these seeming dissonant voices into his own work, at once strange and different, yet beautiful and haunting. His only hope is that with these stories, he has paid due respect and homage to the two writers who have influenced him the most: Franz Kafka and-Ray Bradbury.

Science Fiction meets Magic Realism anthology edited by Elton Elliott and Bruce Taylor. Like Water for Quarks features over twenty stories by some of Science Fiction's greatest names and brightest newcomers, including Ray Bradbury, Ursula K. Le Guin, Connie Willis, Greg Bear, Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson, Jerry Oltion, Pamela Sargent, George Zebrowski and others.

You thought Kafka's Uncle ended with Anslenot climbing into the coal bucket to ascend into the regions beyond the ice? You really thought the story ended there? Oh, no- Anslenot is back and the story continues in the regions beyond the ice which turn out, alas, to be bleak and cold indeed . . . and with him once more, his friend/confidant/tormentor, the tarantula. Together, they explore these frozen lands and encounter denizens such as the Media Bird, a praying mantis by the name, of course, of Jonny Mantis, the Little White-Haired Girl, the Blizzard Beast among many others. But ultimately, they discover the solace-of Kafka. Also included is the story, Dusk's Mirror and how, through the eyes of children, we come to discover, once again, just how magical reality truly is. And 23 short stories, some previously published, round out this collection.

This book presents an alternative view of healing that combines esoteric knowledge of the human experience with ancient healing wisdom to provide a way for everyone to become their own self-healer.The book describes a model of the healing arts in which physical and mental ailments are seen as messengers to be heard rather than things to be cured. Essentially, your ailments are indicators that you have barriers inside yourself to your being able to experience life from the essence of who you really are. The process of becoming a self-healer involves learning how to hear those messages and then removing the underlying barriers. In summary, disease arises in a person when there are blockages in their energy body. Those blockages are created by their barriers to Love (fears, beliefs, desires, and emotional traumas). The book describes a way to find and remove those barriers to Love so that the energetic blockages are released and the body can then heal itself.Others can guide you through this healing process but only you can actually remove the barriers inside you. You have to become your own self-healer.

In the not too distant future, we find Brusjavik Taylorskavich, state-sanctioned, self-proclaimed, "whore-writer" for the Corporate States of America, at a table, waiting to order a meal at the Bay Cafe', overlooking the wonderfully flooded streets of Seattle as a result of the melting of the useless polar caps. As he contemplates his writer-celebrity status and his next award-winning projects, he meets his waiter, a nervous lad by the name of-Anslenot.Also included in this book is the novella, 13 MILES TO PARADISE. The Garnett family, on their way to Paradise, a world famous picnic-hiking area at Mt. Rainier in Washington State--well, all was going along just fine until the family got stuck behind a Winnebago trailer.

We all have our Mountains of the Night. Writer Bruce Taylor hikes though a treacherous landscape of chronic illness and family dysfunction-his own Mountains of the Night. Persevering against great odds, he nonetheless summits those peaks and to his astonishment, discovers a landscape of forgiveness, courage and joy.

For over forty years, Bruce Taylor has been writing stories that defy categorization. Since Bruce had a job working on an in-patient, locked psychiatric floor, he did not have to be concerned about writing to make a living. Indeed how he made his living gave him a wealth of fascinating psychological theory and concepts that literally fed his creativity. Writing for the sheer joy and exuberance of creative expression, his work explored, examined, exhumed the proverbial "human condition" in a broad array of styles until finally realizing what he was doing was not only writing in a style later known as Magic Realism but blending it with Science Fiction and discovering how well the two modes of expression complemented each other. These stories, coming from a particular creative time also reflect the themes of the nature of love, how we become the person we were meant to be, and always the journey into the midnight-of the soul."Remarkable clarity and insight."-Brian Herbert, co-author, the Dune series."A very gifted, short fiction writer."-Jeff VanderMeer, author, The Southern Reach Trilogy"As rich and poetic as Bradbury at his finest."-William F. Nolan, author, Logan's Run"The Transformational figure for science fiction."-Elton Elliott, former editor of Science Fiction Review
