[ "It all started with a conversation between the leaders of the Benelux Union; Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, after a meeting of the entire European Union. 3 years later, on what was to become known as C-Day, all at once, United Nations dignitaries, ambassadors, and their staffs, left the U.S. Conference rooms were empty. Meetings were missed. They collectively closed up shop and left. Embassies locked their doors. Foreign lobbying offices were barren. The next day, at 8pm EST in the U.S., every major network in the rest of the world (ROTW) broadcasted the largest assembly of world leaders, both in person, live from The Hague, and via satellite, that had ever been convened. The ROTW declared they no longer wished to do business, or have any involvement, cooperation, or communication, whatsoever, with the U.S. The deployment of drones, the endless “collateral damage” of civilians, the chemical weapons that were stockpiled, the plots to kill heads of state, and the unending spying. The selling of arms for drugs for arms to overthrow elected officials that were not in sync with American needs. Everything that the U.S. government accused other countries of doing was practiced foremost by the U.S. The world finally decided to give the U.S. the “silent treatment”, to send them to Coventry, as the British were fond of saying. Chaos, panic, and financial collapse ensued. And that was just the beginning. From first time author, David Davis, comes an intriguing, fact based fictional look at what would happen if the U.S. was shunned by the rest of the world." ]

The Fashionable Fan (Schiffer Book for Collectors and Designers)
3.8
2
[ "Fans--they are mysterious and magical, and have been elevated to an art form by the great artists and decorators. They can be viewed as a tangible extension of femininity, style, and elegance. This book tells the fascinating tale of the fan as both a charming fashion accessory and a sophisticated mirror reflecting the changes in fashion and culture over time. Covering medieval times to the twentieth century, individual chapters trace the history of fans and their relationship to the major fashion trends of each era. Over 255 images, including dramatic original photos as well as historical illustrations, showcase fans made of paper, silk, lace, wood, celluloid, feathers, and more. Different shapes and styles of fans are featured, including fixed, pleated, and brise fans, souvenir fans, even several restored fans shown in \"before and after\" photos. An outstanding resource for fashion historians, students, designers, collectors, and aficionados, this unique study of the fan and its relationship to fashion will be of great interest to anyone who appreciates beautiful clothing and beautiful accessories." ]

[ "Written by local experts,", "Time Out Rome", "provides extensive coverage of the major sights — and then goes much further. Featuring everything from born-again trattorie to the burgeoning apertif trend, it offers visitors the chance to experience the Eternal City as the Romans do. History in Rome is not confined to museums, basilicas and galleries — it tumbles out everywhere. And though the city is reassuringly compact, this does not stop the cultural onslaught from being utterly bewildering and exhausting. While some travelers may have to face the fact that they probably won't see everything, it is also important not to shut oneself up inside all day looking at collections and sites or you will miss all that the outdoor scene has to offer.", "Time Out Rome", "helps travelers navigate through the cobblestone streets, so that they can eat, drink and shop like the natives. Suggested side trips out of town are also explored." ]

Participatory Action Research (Pocket Guide to Social Work Research Methods)
4.3
6
[ "As novel, complex social problems increase, especially those involving vulnerable people who reside in challenging places, the limitations of conventional research methods implemented by just one or two investigators become apparent. Research and development alternatives are needed, particularly methods that engage teams of researchers in real world problem solving while simultaneously generating practice- and policy-relevant knowledge. Research methods that effectively tap the expertise of everyday people, especially those impacted by these targeted social problems, are a special priority because academic researchers often lack experiential knowledge that stems from direct, everyday encounters with these vexing problems.Participatory action research (PAR) responds to these manifest needs. It provides a methodological structure and operational guidelines for preparing and deploying people from various walks of life as co-researchers, and it provides a proven strategy for generating practice- and policy-relevant knowledge as problem-solving in real world contexts proceeds." ]
[ "Review", "\"A very helpful pocket guide! The authors articulate the key principles and phases of PAR in a compelling way. The real-world examples of how researchers, practitioners, and community members have used PAR showcase the value of this unique methodology in social work research. I highly recommend this guide to those interested in using PAR to understand and problem-solve complex social issues.\" --Dawn Anderson-Butcher, PhD., LISW-S; Professor, The Ohio State University", "\"This is an excellent theoretical and practical text on participatory research and a valuable resource for any researcher or student interested in conducting this type of research. This is an excellent addition to any library.\" --Charles Auerbach, Ph.D, Professor, Wurzweiler School of Social Work", "\"This book is a timely text from research to macro-practice classes, as well as the change agent's indispensable tool in the field. A brilliant and accessible combination of theory with a practitioner's eye to how things really work 'on the ground' in organizations and systems. It will never be far from my reach.\"--Carenlee Barkdull, Ph.D., LCSW, Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Social Work, University of North Dakota", "About the Author", "Hal A.

Now he faces his most delicate, dangerous mission: to unravel the secret Nazi plan known as Iron Fist.

[ "The Craft of Political Research", "immerses readers not only in how political scientists work but also in how ideas produce research questions and guide the selection of research methods.", "Emphasizing the internal logic of research methods and the collaborative nature of the research process, this slender text explores the design behind interesting questions, problems in measurement and analysis, and key statistical methods. Brief and inexpensive to include in any course,", "The Craft of Political Research", "’s elegant explanations inspire a big picture understanding of how political scientists explain political reality and encourage students to create their own inventive, original, and bold research work." ]
[ "Review", "“", "The Craft of Political Research", "is just what one hopes for in an undergraduate methods course. It is more theoretically engaged than most such texts, and the conceptual discussion is non-sectarian. Marx and Duverger make an appearance; so do Mancur Olson and Anthony Downs; so do Philip Converse and Robert Putnam. Students will learn that ideas matter, not the statistical software; and they will see that theoretical narrowness is the antithesis of good science.”–from Christopher H. Achen’s Foreword", "About the Author", "W. Phillips Shively", "is Professor of Political Science at the University of Minnesota." ]

HEALING THE HURT THAT HIDES: HTHTH
4.4

[ "There is an excruciating pain that can cause you to do things that you wouldn’t do normally… I call it being completely surrendered to the wiles of the enemy as a result of that devilish spirit called HURT/PAIN. It’s an ultra-thin line between balancing the relationship with God and that of your husband. I had lost my mind. I am not going to give him a chance to shoot me… I got up from the sofa, and believe me, I was going to knock him out with the poker from the fireplace… At the time when I needed the church people most, they shut me out… I was yelling from the rooftop of my soul that I wanted help. I told everyone what I had been going through and nobody seemed to care or be of any help. Today as I sit here, having lost all those things - I have peace, I have joy, I have an understanding of who I am and a greater knowledge of who my God is. This book will help you get there too!" ]

Lost Treasures of Omaha

[ "Omaha is many things: “the Gateway to the West”; the home to Indigenous peoples, from the Otoe, Pawnee, and Omaha nations; a place for Euro-American expansion and immigrant dreams; the home of Warren Buffet. Lost Treasures Omaha celebrates the city with nearly 300 entries, ranging from restaurants you knew and loved, like Rose Lodge and its famous fried chicken or Fair Deal Café, the de facto city hall of the Northside, to theaters, drive-ins, and hangouts of days past to Omaha’s icons and curiosities, and plenty in between. What makes a Lost Treasure? It’s always in the eye―or the memory―of the beholder, but Tim and Lisa Trudell highlight places that bring back fond memories and played major roles in the city’s growth. Having written three books about Omaha and Nebraska, Tim and Lisa have learned more about the city they love and call home than they could have ever imagined." ]
[ "About the Author", "Tim and Lisa Trudell, residents of southwest Omaha, own the travel blog The Walking Tourists. Lisa was a travel professional for more than 16 years. Tim was a journalist at local papers for several years and is currently the photographer, editor, and author of their blog.

MORALITY: How it Evolved, How it was Hijacked and Confounded by Religion
4.4
8
[ "From author, Charles E. Kupchella comes a new contender for one of the best book on evolutionary psychology, a book exploring the connections between evolution, ethics and morality. Religion is thought by many to be the source of morality. It isn’t. Morality came to us through biological evolution and rudiments of it can be found in many other social animals. Morality-enabled collaboration reached its epitome in Homo sapiens allowing our species to thrive and to bring civilization to its present state -- such as it is. While other books have addressed the biological origins of morality, this one goes much further into the mechanisms of evolution and into what cultural-evolution and specifically religion did with morality as it arose biologically. This book makes the point that although cultural evolution, with religion as a component, gave us ways to reinforce our inborn sense of morality, but religion has also been divisive. Religious “fences” keep us from seeing ourselves as part of one family of humankind. Today, religious differences and the tendency of blind faith to thwart critical thinking and to work its way into and confound politics and even education stand in the way of humankind’s continued moral-maturation." ]

A Gamble With Death: One Man's Desperate Journey To Europe Through The Sahara Desert And The Mediterranean Sea
4.4
2
[ "For most young people growing up in Africa, Europe and the Western World in general holds the promise of a happy life – a paradise on earth. And when an opportunity to travel to Europe offers itself, resisting is impossible. Human traffickers understand this fact, and use it to exploit people as much as they can. This scenario is the backdrop for A Gamble With Death: a cautionary story of one young man who, like thousands of other Africans, ignorantly embarked on a dangerous journey from Africa to Europe through the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea, on a journey that left thousands dead. A journey he was told would last less than 2 weeks became a difficult, horrifying and dehumanizing journey that covered a span of years. His ignorance became a crime and for many, a death sentence as they all gambled with death. This is a true life story about what he lived through and what he saw: hell." ]

Truly has spent her entire adult life proving that she’s more than the small town where she grew up, more than Tyler Burke’s secret friend with benefits, and so much more than the homewrecker her mother was. Now living in New York City, she has a fulfilling, although unconventional, career that keeps families united. Most importantly, she’s a strong, independent woman. When family business brings her back to Fallport, she comes face-to-face with Tyler and the mess her mother left behind. Why do the people and places that once made Truly feel so hopeless look so very different to her now?" ]

Real Analysis through Modern Infinitesimals (Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications, Series Number 140)
5
1
[ "Real Analysis Through Modern Infinitesimals provides a course on mathematical analysis based on Internal Set Theory (IST) introduced by Edward Nelson in 1977. After motivating IST through an ultrapower construction, the book provides a careful development of this theory representing each external class as a proper class. This foundational discussion, which is presented in the first two chapters, includes an account of the basic internal and external properties of the real number system as an entity within IST. In its remaining fourteen chapters, the book explores the consequences of the perspective offered by IST as a wide range of real analysis topics are surveyed. The topics thus developed begin with those usually discussed in an advanced undergraduate analysis course and gradually move to topics that are suitable for more advanced readers. This book may be used for reference, self-study, and as a source for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses." ]

On the whole, this book is commendable and will provide the reader with a clear introduction to analysis, and to the use of nonstandard analysis for learning analysis.\" Antoine Delcroix, Mathematical Reviews\"Nader Vakil has shown with his text that advanced calculus and much of related abstract analysis can be explained and simplified within the context of internal set theory.\" Peter Loeb, University of Illinois, SIAM Review\"Real Analysis through Modern Infinitesimals intends to be used and to be useful.

It ain't easy, Comandante: The Cuban People's Struggle for Freedom!
5

[ "It ain't easy is a common expression of the Cuban people, and is often a veiled complaint against the regime. Havana-born Caroll García knows this firsthand.García uses his knowledge to recount the adventures and experiences of two friends, Alex and Henry, who supported the Cuban dissidents in developing the civil society on the island. Belonging to a generation betrayed and deceived by the political outrages suffered by the Cuban people, Alex and Henry renew their friendship when they reunite and reminisce about their youthful experiences-some pleasant, others bitter and full of violence.The two friends shared an adventure that began in San Juan, Puerto Rico, followed by a trip to Grand Cayman Island, and ended in Cuba after a clandestine voyage through the Caribbean Sea. Alex and Henry participated in extraordinary events that changed Cuba's history. It ain't easy, Comandante unfolds on a rich background of local folklore and customs, and is full of clandestine action, mystery, and deceit." ]

[ "Den' bez vran'ia draws readers into the everyday existence of a twenty-something Muscovite who has decided to live a single day without telling any lies. Yet the events of his day--from his unruly French class to the evening he spends with his girlfriend and her parents--seriously challenge his resolve to avoid lying. From his wry, ironic reflections about himself and his world, the reader gains insight into the human condition and the specific challenges of living in the Soviet Union in the 1960s.Viktoria Tokareva (b. 1937, Leningrad) launched her writing career with the publication of the story Den' bez vran'ia in the journal Molodaia gvardiia in 1964. Since that time she has written countless stories and novellas about the fate of men and women trying to get by in contemporary Russia. Widely read in Russia and Europe, her works combine humor and psychological insight into everyday characters and situations." ]
[ "About the Author", "William J. Comer is Associate Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Kansas, where he coordinates the Russian language program and prepares graduate students to teach in the language classroom. His areas of scholarly specialization include Russian language pedagogy and Russian culture. This edition of Tokareva's story is broadly informed by recent research into second language reading instruction and represents a fresh approach to using a literary text in the intermediate-level language classroom." ]

Urine therapy 'cured' me of chronic fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, dandruff, depression and bad skin. What can it do for you? Some say that drinking ones own urine is THE cure for every disease. I don't doubt it. Here you will read about my personal experiences with all the above chronic ailments and how I cured myself by ingesting my own midstream morning urine. Who'd have thought that all we need for excellent health and wellness, really does come from within our own bodies? What better mode of self-improvement is there?" ]

She discovered the “power of the p” at an early age, from a series of explicit episodes, from “kissing cousins” to a violent confrontation that left her nearly unconscious. If nothing else, her past taught her one thing—sex is power, an explosive ¬¬weapon she detonates to get whatever she wants from any man who wants her. Conditioned to keep her heart closed and her legs open, she successfully plays man after man, taking their hearts, ignoring their feelings, and manipulating their souls … Until it all catches up to her.Finally free from the confines of a toxic marriage, Charlie packs up and takes her beloved daughter on the move to make a better life for them, leaving behind her abusive husband and her habitual infidelities. But old habits die hard. As she continues her cycle of sexual games, sneaky lies, and heartless manipulation, Charlie finds herself on the run from her past, drowning in the present, and fearing for her life." ]

Sheen', '(1895–1979)', 'Fulton John Sheen was born in El Paso, Illinois, in 1895. In high school, he won a three-year university scholarship, but he turned it down to pursue a vocation to the priesthood. He attended St. Viator College Seminary in Illinois and St. Paul Seminary in Minnesota. In 1919, he was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Peoria, Illinois. He earned a licentiate in sacred theology and a bachelor of canon law at the Catholic University of America and a doctorate at the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium.', 'Sheen received numerous teaching offers but declined them in obedience to his bishop and became an assistant pastor in a rural parish. Having thus tested his obedience, the bishop later permitted him to teach at the Catholic University of America and at St. Edmund’s College in Ware, England, where he met G.K. Chesterton, whose weekly BBC radio broadcast inspired Sheen’s later NBC broadcast, The Catholic Hour (1930–1952).', 'In 1952, Sheen began appearing on ABC in his own series, Life Is Worth Living. Despite being given a time slot that forced him to compete with Milton Berle and Frank Sinatra, the dynamic Sheen enjoyed enormous success and in 1954 reach tens of millions of viewers, non-Catholics as well as Catholics.', 'When asked by Pope Pius XII how many converts he had made, Sheen responded, “Your Holiness, I have never counted them. I am always afraid if I did count them, I might think I made them, instead of the Lord.”', 'Sheen gave annual Good Friday homilies at New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral, led numerous retreats for priests and religious, and preached at summer conferences in England.', '“If you want people to stay as they are,” he said, “tell them what they want to hear. If you want to improve them, tell them what they should know.” This he did, not only in his preaching but also in the more than ninety books he wrote. His book, Peace of Soul was sixth on the New York Times best-seller list.', 'Sheen served as auxiliary bishop of New York (1951–1966) and as bishop of Rochester (1966–1969).', 'His two great loves were for the Blessed Mother and the Eucharist. He made a daily holy hour before the Blessed Sacrament, from which he drew strength and inspiration to preach the gospel and in the presence of which he prepared his homilies. “I beg [Christ] every day to keep me strong physically and alert mentally in order to preach His gospel and proclaim His Cross and Resurrection,” he said. “I am so happy doing this that I sometimes feel that when I come to the good Lord in Heaven, I will take a few days’ rest and then ask Him to allow me to come back again to this earth to do some more work.”', 'The good Lord called Fulton Sheen home in 1979. His television broadcasts, now on tape, and his books continue his earthly work of winning souls for Christ. Sheen’s cause for canonization was opened in 2002, and in 2012 Pope Benedict XVI declared him “Venerable.”']}

[ "Hard-Boiled Detective Series Uncovers Bones, Bodies and Murder!A fiercely intelligent crime drama as emotionally sharp as it is historically inventive. Krishtalka’s prose is powerfully versatile, alternating between the sort of terse, unsentimental phrasing that one would expect from a detective story and poetical elegance.”~ Kirkus ReviewsPaleontologist turned private investigator, Harry Przewalski, excavates the dirty underbelly of people’s lives, unearthing sexual betrayals, treachery, fraud and murder buried beneath the science of petrified shards, skin and bones. Ultimately, he must face a brutal killing in his own past, when he fled to a desert war and came back with a gun and a license to detect. A famous, 140-year-old museum diorama is vandalized––it depicts the ferocious attack by two lions on a North African courier crossing the Sahara on a dromedary. The belly of the taxidermied camel has been sliced open and a bundle removed, shedding bits of flesh from a child. Harry is hired to investigate the macabre history of the exhibit. The taxidermist has a grisly past: a sexual affair, a lover’s betrayal, a lurid trial, and graves in Botswana and Tunisia plundered for human dioramas. The camel driver’s skull and skin are mounted under his clothing. In a Paris museum, a dead archaeologist, a bloodstained journal, and the theft of a Neanderthal child’s skull and teeth lead Harry to the stolen bundle––a scientific bombshell worth killing for in a murderous race for fame." ]

[ "This is the second book in the series In the Butterfly Kingdom books. The royal family is busy in the garden continuing to help others. The inspiration for writing this book comes from the scripture verse Galatians 5:22-23, which is the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. King Monarch and Queen Alexandra have decided to have another baby, and they are very happy to have a beautiful little girl, and they have named her Princess Jacqueline. Prince Joey and Prince Nicolas are excited to have a sister as well, and they enjoy spending their days together in the garden playing their instruments with one another. Prince Joey and Prince Nicholas enjoy playing the drums, and Princess Jacqueline likes to play the guitar. They were very busy practicing each day for the big concert they were going to have for everyone who lives in the garden. Princess Jacqueline encounters a moth that treats one of her friends unkindly just because her wings are a different color from the other butterflies. Princess Jacqueline who has eaten the special fruit from the Blessing Tree is filled with kindness and knows what she must do.", "The story line is about acceptance of others and also choosing to forgive when we have been offended so that we can become better not bitter. It is written in a lighthearted manner to help children understand acceptance of others despite our differences and to be kind to one another. It is Laura's hope and desire for everyone who reads this story to arrive with an understanding in their hearts and minds that we are all different, but also emerge from the wisdom in knowing that we all have a deep desire to be loved, accepted, and to be treated with the utmost of kindness. The main character, Princess Jacqueline, who is featured in this story, is named after the author's granddaughter; and she has personalized the butterfly to reflect her and fruit of the spirit kindness that she sees inside her. Laura believes that if we sow seeds of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control, we will always produce good fruit." ]

The book is inspired by moments of despair, hopelessness, depression and sadness, depicting feelings of rejection, withdrawn, betrayal, fears, loss and death." ]
[ "Review", "\"The word is more powerful than the sword. Words can change us, transform us, make us angry, happy or sad. Words create love or hate, or can stir and galvanize the crowd.

She wants us to see and feel life in its totality, its love and hate, its sorrow and joy, its fall and rise.Lavi Picu is the voice of a woman that screams loudly and whispers quietly. She gives many voices to her words and they fly away to places where words have neither voice nor power. She seems angry, yet her words soothe your heart. She tells about love, yet she makes you wonder. She makes you feel angry, yet you smile. Her words are warm, yet they make you shiver. Her poems are well written and powerful, her words are simply structured, yet they are ambiguous.\"Dana Caban_ Kurds, a nation frozen in time", "About the Author", "Lavi Picu is a Canadian writer, majored in Linguistics, with a background in translations and writing.

Jdbc: Java Database Connectivity
4.2
3
[ "In a world of acronyms and abbreviations, JDBC is one worth knowing. It's the application programming interface that bridges the gap between sophisticated relational database management systems and Java, a programming language uniquely suited to today's intranet and Internet networking environments." ]
[ "Amazon.com Review", "This valuable guide provides both the academic side--designing databases--and the practical side--coding interfaces--of enterprise applications involving JDBC. Van Haecke goes into much detail on designing database applications, a process he calls identifying the \"business logic\" of a program. He talks a little bit about three-tier database design (though dbAnywhere and similar programs get glossed over) and discusses CORBA from a conceptual point of view. Van Haecke also covers Remote Method Invocation (RMI) and security in more depth than most books offer; the automotive-flavored sample application included for RMI is hardly typical of the usual dry fare employed to explain the subject. Van Haecke, a Sun Microsystems consultant, shines when he explains complicated database topics. This book includes a great discussion of serving multimedia from a database, including a complete sample application for that purpose. All the source code appears on the companion CD-ROM along with Bongo 1.0, JDK 1.1.1, and some other tools. If you already have a decent grasp of JDBC and want guidance through the hairier aspects of Java database work, this is the book for you." ]

[ "Review", "\"I  found", "Silverthorn", "to be as  exciting and absorbing as", "Magician", "in every way. The excellent characterization  wedded to a tight and well-tumed plot makes it one of  the outstanding fantasy offerings of the season.\"  --Andre Norton", "From the Paperback edition.", "--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.", "Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.", "PrologueTwilightThe sun dropped behind the peaks.The last rays of warmth touched the earth and only the rosy afterglow of the day remained. From the east, indigo darkness approached rapidly. The wind cut through the hills like a sharp-edged blade, as if spring were only a faintly remembered dream. Winter's ice still clung to shadow-protected pockets, ice that cracked loudly under the heels of heavy boots. Out of the evening's darkness three figures entered the firelight.The old witch looked up, her dark eyes widening slightly at the sight of the three. She knew the figure on the left, the broad, mute warrior with the shaved head and single long scalp lock. He had come once before, seeking magic signs for strange rites. Though he was a powerful chieftain, she had sent him away, for his nature was evil, and while issues of good and evil seldom held any significance for the witch, there were limits even for her. Besides, she had little love for any moredhel, especially one who had cut out his own tongue as a sign of devotion to dark powers.The mute warrior regarded her with the blue eyes unusual for one of his race. He was broader of shoulders than most, even for one of the mountain clans, who tended to be more powerful of arm and shoulder than their forest-dwelling cousins. The mute wore golden circle rings in his large, upswept ears, painful to affix, as the moredhel had no lobes. Upon each cheek were three scars, mystic symbols whose meaning was not lost upon the witch.The mute made a sign to his companions, and the one to the far right seemed to nod. It was difficult to judge, for he was clothed in an all-concealing robe, with a deep hood revealing no features. Both hands were hidden in voluminous sleeves that were kept together. As if speaking from a great distance, the cloaked figure said, \"We seek a reading of signs.\" His voice was sibilant, almost a hiss, and there was a note of something alien in it. One hand appeared and the witch pulled away, for it was misshapen and scaled, as if the owner possessed talons covered with snakeskin. She then knew the creature for what it was: a priest of the Pantathian serpent people. Compared to the serpent people, the moredhel were held in high regard by the witch.She turned her attention from the end figures and studied the one in the center. He stood a full head taller than the mute and was even more impressive in bulk. He slowly removed a bearskin robe, the bear's skull providing a helm for his own head, and cast it aside. The old witch gasped, for he was the most striking moredhel she had seen in her long life. He wore the heavy trousers, vest, and knee-high boots of the hill clans, and his chest was bare. His powerfully muscled body gleamed in the firelight, and he leaned forward to study the witch. His face was almost frightening in its near-perfect beauty. But what had caused her to gasp, more than his awesome appearance, was the sign upon his chest.\"Do you know me?\" he asked the witch.She nodded. \"I know who you appear to be.\"He leaned even farther forward, until his face was lit from below by the fire, revealing something in his nature. \"I am who I appear to be,\" he whispered with a smile. She felt fear, for behind his handsome features, behind the benign smile, she saw the visage of evil, evil so pure it defied endurance. \"We seek a reading of signs,\" he repeated, his voice the sound of ice-clear madness.She chuckled. \"Even one so mighty has limits?\"The handsome moredhel's smile slowly vanished. \"One may not foretell one's own future.\"Resigned to her own likely lot, she said, \"I require silver.\"The moredhel nodded. The mute dug a coin from out of his belt pouch and tossed it upon the floor before the witch. Without touching it, she prepared some ingredients in a stone cup. When the concoction was ready, she poured it upon the silver. A hissing came, both from the coin and from the serpent man. A green-scaled claw began to make signs, and the witch snapped, \"None of that nonsense, snake. Your hot-land magic will only cant my reading.\"The serpent man was restrained by a gentle touch and smile from the center figure, who nodded at the witch.In croaking tones, her throat dry with fear, the witch said, \"Say you then truly: What would you know?\" She studied the hissing silver coin, covered now in bubbling green slime.\"Is it time? Shall I do now that which was ordained?\"A bright green flame sprang from the coin and danced. The witch followed its movement closely, her eyes seeing something within the flame none but she could divine. After a while she said, \"The Bloodstones form the Cross of Fire. That which you are, you are. That which you are born to do . . . do!\" The last word was a half-gasp.Something in the witch's expression was unexpected, for the moredhel said, \"What else, crone?\"\"You stand not unopposed, for there is one who is your bane. You stand not alone, for behind you . . . I do not understand.\" Her voice was weak, faint.\"What?\" The moredhel showed no smile this time.\"Something . . . something vast, something distant, something evil.\"The moredhel paused to consider; turning to the serpent man, he spoke softly yet commandingly. \"Go then, Cathos. Employ your arcane skills and discover where this seat of weakness lies. Give a name to our enemy. Find him.\"The serpent man bowed awkwardly and shambled out of the cave. The moredhel turned to his mute companion and said, \"Raise the standards, my general, and gather the loyal clans upon the plains of Isbandia, beneath the towers of Sar-Sargoth. Raise highest that standard I have chosen for my own, and let all know we begin that which was ordained. You shall be my battlemaster, Murad, and all shall know you stand highest among my servants. Glory and greatness now await.\"Then, when the mad snake has identified our quarry, lead forth the Black Slayers. Let those whose souls are mine serve us by seeking out our enemy. Find him! Destroy him! Go!\"The mute nodded once and left the cave. The moredhel with the sign on his chest faced the witch. \"Then, human refuse, do you know what dark powers move?\"\"Aye, messenger of destruction, I know. By the Dark lady, I know.\"He laughed, a cold humorless sound. \"I wear the sign,\" he said, pointing to the purple birthmark upon his chest, which seemed to glow angrily in the firelight. It was clear that his was no simple disfigurement but some sort of magic talisman, for it formed a perfect silhouette of a dragon in flight. He raised his finger, pointing upward. \"I have the power.\" He made a circular motion with his upraised finger. \"I am the foreordained. I am destiny.\"The witch nodded, knowing death raced to embrace her. She suddenly mouthed a complex incantation, her hands moving furiously through the air. A gathering of power manifested itself in the cave and a strange keening filled the night. The warrior before her simply shook his head. She cast a spell at him, one that should have withered him where he stood. He remained, grinning at her evilly. \"You seek to test me with your puny arts, seer?\"Seeing no effect, she slowly closed her eyes and sat erect, awaiting her fate. The moredhel pointed his finger at her and a silver shaft of light came forth, striking the witch. She shrieked in agony, then exploded into white-hot fire. For an instant her dark form writhed within the inferno, then the flames vanished.The moredhel cast a quick glance at the ashes upon the floor, forming the outline of a body. With a deep laugh he gathered up his robe and left the cave.Outside, his companions waited, holding his horse. Far below he could see the camp of his band, still small but destined to grow. He mounted and said, \"To Sar-Sargoth!\" With a jerk on the reins he spun his horse and led the mute and the serpent priest down the hillside.", "From the Paperback edition.", "--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.", "About the Author", "Raymond E.

Where one misplaced step could extinguish the flame that flickers within the mortal shell. Some navigate the mazes laced with obstacles. While others languish in despair. Falling victim to vices that were instilled from the day lungs first inhaled this toxic air." ]

Promenade... Through the Present Future: City of Culture of Galicia
5
1
[ "In 1999 the Xunta de Galicia called an International Architecture Competition to build the City of Culture of Galicia on Mount Gaiás in Santiago de Compostela. Twelve proposals by renowned national and international architects' studios were initially submitted to this competition for ideas. The architects who submitted their ideas for defining the architectural complex and its uses were Ricardo Bofill, Peter Eisenman, Manuel Gallego Jorreto, Annette Gigon and Mike Guyer, Steve Holl, Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskind, Juan Navarro Baldeweg, Jean Nouvel, Dominique Perrault, César Portela, and Santiago Calatrava (who later withdrew his project). Out of all these ideas, the final project to be selected for development was the design by Eisenman Architects, as - to quote the Jury - it was, “unique both in concept and plasticity, and exceptionally in tune with the site's location“. Located in Santiago de Compostela, a historic city that is an emblem of the European cultural tradition and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985, the City of Culture of Galicia stands on top of Mount Gaiás, a formidable architectural landmark for the new century. Conceived as a large-scale cultural hub devoted to hosting the best of cultural expressions of Galicia, Spain, Europe, Latin America and the World, this new “city” will contribute with its inclusive and pluralistic approach to meeting the challenges of the information and knowledge society. Its unique buildings, connected up by streets and plazas equipped with state-of-the-art technology, create a space of excellence for reflection, debate and actions oriented towards the preservation of heritage and memory, towards study, research, experimentation, production and dissemination in the field of literature and thinking, music, drama, dance, film, the visual arts, audiovisual creation and communication. This book invites readers to stroll around a new city where past, present, and future cultures coexist: “A new cultural Babylon will open its doors to readers.”" ]

I have filled these memoirs with a retrospective of my art--pleasant ephemera, family papers, genealogies, love stories, newspaper clippings, church history, scripture, and vintage photographs presented in a scrapbook format. I correlate these wonderful stories with highlights of relevant American history--black and white. My husband, Tom, and I have rich legacies of captivating recorded family history that has survived. We can date his freeborn family back before 1779 and my enslaved family to 1815. When I was a little girl, it was always a special event when I sat with my grandaunt Florena Bell Brown on her sunporch to hear the ancient stories about our family. This rich oral family history impacted and inspired my life because my family was \"up from slavery\" and found American prosperity in such profound ways that it will amaze you. Knowing where we as a family came from gave me an appreciation for our history and the struggle to achieve goals and to never give up the way they didn't. I also found out how we fit into God's divine plan as one of the oldest continuously living things on earth called--the family!", "Working with such giants in the art, communication, and collectibles industries--such as the Hallmark Greeting Card Company and the Franklin Mint--gave me enormous comprehensive experiences early in my art career. Perhaps you might recognize some of the art that I showcase from my portfolio that also advances my storyline like a documentary. Through C. R. Gibson, Thomas Nelson, Enesco, American Express, Seeds Evangelical, and many other major corporations, my illustrations have appeared and been collected in millions and millions of forms and homes throughout the years." ]

The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government (1)
4.1
4
[ "Jefferson Finis Davis (1808-1889) was an American politician who served as President of the Confederate States of America for its entire history from 1861 to 1865 during the American Civil War. During his presidency, Davis was never able to find a strategy that would defeat the larger, more industrially developed Union. Davis's insistence on independence, even in the face of crushing defeat, prolonged the war, and while not exactly disgraced, he was displaced in Southern affection after the war by the leading general, Robert E. Lee. After Davis was captured in 1865, he was charged with treason (although never convicted) and was stripped of his eligibility to run for public office. A West Point graduate, Davis prided himself on the military skills he gained in the Mexican-American War as a colonel of a volunteer regiment, and as U. S. Secretary of War under Franklin Pierce. As Davis explained in his memoir, The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government (1881) he believed that each State was sovereign and had an unquestionable right to secede from the Union." ]

Market Drayton in 1851
4.7
5
[ "This set of articles about Market Drayton in 1851 is the collective work of the members of the Local History Group of Market Drayton U3A: Meriel Blower, Peter Brown, Kunigunda Gough, David Jenkins, Bill Page, Ian Picton-Robinson, Grace Russell, Chris Sharp and Ros Wells. Each member of the Group chose a subject or subjects which particularly interested them and conducted their research in their own way. The articles were then lightly edited by Peter Brown, mainly to minimise duplication and to try to ensure consistency. This book does not pretend to be a compre¬hensive portrait of the Market Drayton area in 1851. Many relevant topics have been omitted or covered only sketchily — sometimes because the source material was not readily available, sometimes because nobody in the Group possessed the necessary background knowledge or interest. Nevertheless, we hope the reader will find much of interest about the town and its surrounding area in a time of transition." ]

Saint Augustine: Select Letters (Loeb Classical Library #239)
4.8
10
[ "Augustinus", "(354–430 CE), son of a pagan, Patricius of Tagaste in North Africa, and his Christian wife Monica, while studying in Africa to become a rhetorician, plunged into a turmoil of philosophical and psychological doubts in search of truth, joining for a time the Manichaean society. He became a teacher of grammar at Tagaste, and lived much under the influence of his mother and his friend Alypius. About 383 he went to Rome and soon after to Milan as a teacher of rhetoric, being now attracted by the philosophy of the Sceptics and of the Neo-Platonists. His studies of Paul’s letters with Alypius and the preaching of Bishop Ambrose led in 386 to his rejection of all sensual habits and to his famous conversion from mixed beliefs to Christianity. He returned to Tagaste and there founded a religious community. In 395 or 396 he became Bishop of Hippo, and was henceforth engrossed with duties, writing and controversy. He died at Hippo during the successful siege by the Vandals. From Augustine’s large output the Loeb Classical Library offers that great autobiography the Confessions (in two volumes); City of God (seven volumes), which unfolds God’s action in the progress of the world’s history, and propounds the superiority of Christian beliefs over pagan in adversity; and a selection of Letters which are important for the study of ecclesiastical history and Augustine’s relations with other theologians." ]

Rocambole: Volume 1—The Dark Side
4.8
5
[ "Rocambole is a mystery adventure epic by the French author, Pierre Alexis Ponson du Terrail (1829 - 1871). It is the story of an adventurer and criminal who started life on the wrong side of the law, redeemed himself, and then devoted his life to doing good. The Rocambole saga has been acknowledged for transitioning the old-fashioned gothic novel to modern heroic fiction thus starting the genres of adventure crime fiction novels. Before there was a Sherlock Holmes, Scarlet Pimpernel, Hercule Poirot, the Saint, Arsene Lupin, and James Bond, there was Rocambole. The stories take the reader back to the nineteenth century, an era of elaborate styles and extravagant wealth as well as extreme poverty and ghetto life. Most of the stories take place in nineteenth century London and Paris with their cobblestone streets, carriage traffic, gas-lit narrow streets, and shadowy characters. Other stories take the reader to imperial Spain, tsarist Russia, revolutionary Ireland, exotic India, and pioneering Australia. The epic itself is the personal account of a young boy who grew to become an old man and who led in evil and good lives in stories full of interesting characters, creative plots, heroic adventures, and exciting cliffhangers. It will be hard not to dislike Rocambole’s early life despite his charismatic personality just as it would be hard not to admire him when the innocent love of one who thought he was her brother transforms him to embracing a nobler life. The original Rocambole stories filled seventeen books. This is the only English adaptation of the full story. It will be published in three volumes. The first volume, The Dark Side, tells of Rocambole’s sinister life and introduces all the characters who were Rocambole’s enemies, several of whom became life-long friends after his redemption. It will be followed by the second volume, Redemption, and the third volume, Crusade. This adaptation maintains all the major plots of the original saga but eliminates minor subplots and characters and replaces them with original material to bridge the gaps. A short video trailer can be seen on YouTube under the title: “Rocambole Lives”." ]
