Romance

Circle of Magic Book One - Sandry's Book By Tamora Pierce In the Palace of Black Swans, Zakdin, capital of Hatar: Blue eyes wide, Lady Sandrilene fa Toren watched her near-empty oil lamp. Her small mouth quivered as the flame at the end of the wick danced and shrank, throwing grim shadows on the barrels of food and water that shared her prison. When that flame was gone, she would be without light in this windowless storeroom. "I'll go crazy," she said flatly. "When they come to rescue me, I'll be raving mad." She refused to admit that, with this room locked from the outside and hidden by magic, a rescue was hopeless. "I'll draw the mob away from here, far away," Pirisi had whispered through the keyhole, speaking in her native Tradertalk. "You'll be safe until the smallpox has run its course. Then I'll return for you." But her nurse had never returned. Right outside the door, the mob had caught and killed her because she was a hated Trader. With Pirisi dead, no one would even know where

The Eternity Artifact

L. E. Modesitt

The prolific Modesitt (<I>Flash</I>) employs four different narrative perspectives in this slow-moving tale of far-future intergalactic human civilizations, with often compelling if sometimes repetitive results. The enlightened, progressive government of the Comity persuades artist Chendor Barna, cultural historian Liam Fitzhugh, shuttle pilot Jiendra Chang and assassin Goodman/Bond to join an exploratory space voyage to a mysterious, uninhabited terraformed world named Danann. At a site on Danann so old that the atmosphere is solid ice, the four discover a marvelous artifact that allows them to speculate on its implications for the technological level of the unknown aliens who created it and the changing nature of the universe. This revolutionary discovery, however, leads to conflict between the Comity and the worlds of the Zionist Covenant and Muslim Sunnis, who want to prevent access to advanced technologies and suppress knowledge of ancient alien life-forms. Readers who like both hard science and realistic sociology will be rewarded. <I>(Oct.)</I> <BR>Copyright &copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The Radiance of Being: Complexity, Chaos and the Evolution of Consciousness

Allan Combs

From the introduction, the author states that his intent "is to serve as part guide and part fellow traveler on a quest into the labyrinthine realms of science and traditional wisdom in search of the roots of consciousness." The book is arranged into three sections: first is an introduction of ideas, beginning with the nature of consciousness and the mind; the second section reviews important theories of the evolution of consciousness; the third section begins with an evaluation of previous theories and goes on to examine consciousness and the higher reaches of human nature. Included is a glossary of technical terms.

Terrilian III: The Warrior Rearmed By Sharon Green CHAPTER 1 I sat beside the pretty little blue pond, just in the shade of a nearby tree, trying to rid myself of the gray mood of brooding. Constructive thought is almost impossible in that kind of mood, but it had descended on me the night before and I couldn't seem to shake it. With all the problems I had, I should have been spending my time considering solutions, but all I felt capable of tackling right then was sitting still and breathing in the fresh, clear air. My mind was so close to being shut down from self-centered consideration, I nearly missed the faint, unfamiliar mind trace. It was near enough to cause me to focus on it immediately, but I hadn't been wrong in my first, fleeting impression: there was a small, frightened animal somewhere in the grass near me. On that planet it could have been something a lot more harmful, but I hadn't been as frightened as I once would have been. I'd been growing on Rimilia, but I still had

The Time of Their Lives: The Golden Age of Great American Book Publishers, Their Editors and Authors

Al Silverman

From upstarts like Barney Rosset's Grove Press to stalwarts like Harper (in various incarnations) under the decades-long direction of Cass Canfield, the great houses of what Silverman sees as publishing's heyday are nostalgically portrayed, from the end of WWII through the early 1980s. Silverman, former longtime head of the Book-of-the-Month Club, calls his book a love letter to editors, and though he's frank about people's foibles (like Alfred and Blanche Knopf's mercurial tempers), the tone is largely sentimental. Based on interviews with all the principals, he recounts feats of editorial genius, like how Tom McCormack made <i>All Things Great and Small</i> a blockbuster, which also made St. Martin's a publishing force. And there are stories about the ones that got away (Simon Michael Bessie passed on <i>Lolita</i>), the struggles of women to move up the editorial ladder and the dissolution of great editorial teams as money got tight and houses were sold. It's difficult to see the book's appeal to industry outsiders, but for insiders in a difficult publishing era, it's a delight to share these recollections of the days before Wall Street ruled Publishers Row. <i>(Aug.)</i> <br />Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

THE PARROT SHAH Once upon a time . . . hundreds of years ago, there lived a brave young Shah. His counsellor was a very old wise Minister called Saleb. Like all his subjects, the Shah worshipped the God of Reason. Every day, he went to the temple he had built close to the palace. In response to the prayers, the God gave the Shah good advice on the difficult art of government. Indeed, the kingdom had never been so well ruled and had become very prosperous. One day, at the end of his first visit, the Shah was amazed to hear the God's deep voice say: "You no longer need my advice. You are wise enough. You can keep on praying to me, but this is the last time you will speak to me. But before I leave you to Fate, I will grant you a wish. Anything you ask will be given to you." On his knees before the statue, the Shah thought for a long time before replying. Then he said: "Oh, God who rules over us all, thank you for all you have done for me and my people.

The Wise Men From the East: Tracing the Origin of Sumerians and their civilisation

Matthias Ifejika

Matthias Ifejika writes as if he was one of the wise men from the east who gave the world civilisation. As an independent researcher, he has followed every clue left behind by the Sumerians including several investigations from the academia, to trace their origins. Although he has a Masters Degree in Science, his keen interest in language, culture and history drove him into linguistics and philology.

ASSYRO-BABYLONIAN MYTHOLOGY INTRODUCTION From the beginning of the third millennium B.C., a flourishing civilisation existed on the lower banks of the Tigris and the Euphrates, due to two neighboring peoples: the Akkadians and the Sumerians. The land of Sumer was situated around the upper end of the Persian Gulf, which in those days probably extended much further inland than it does to-day, although this belief has recently been challenged. The towns of Eridu to the south and Nippur to the north marked its extreme limits: other towns were Lagash, Umma, Erech, Larsa and Ur. The Sumerians had probably come from central Asia or the Siberian steppes. The land of Akkad, which lay immediately to the north of Sumer, was peopled by Semites who had probably come from northern Syria. The site of the city, Agade, from which it took its name, has not yet been identified. Its other principal towns were - from south to north - Borsippa, Babylon, Kish, Kutha and Sippar.

The Wise Men From the East: Tracing the Origin of Sumerians and their civilisation

Matthias Ifejika

Matthias Ifejika writes as if he was one of the wise men from the east who gave the world civilisation. As an independent researcher, he has followed every clue left behind by the Sumerians including several investigations from the academia, to trace their origins. Although he has a Masters Degree in Science, his keen interest in language, culture and history drove him into linguistics and philology. He has written extensively on several subjects and has a collection poetry and short stories. He is working on his second book, which will solve the puzzles of Sumerian grammar. He lives in London.

MYTHOLOGY OF THE TWO AMERICAS INTRODUCTION Although American mythology is extremely varied, there are analogies from one end of the continent to the other which allow of its being considered as a whole. At the base of all American religions we find totemism; and the totem is an object, a being, a force of Nature, which is generally looked on as the ancestor of a group or clan or an individual, who take its name and identify themselves with it. In exchange for the totem's help and protection all its representatives owe it a certain amount of deference and worship, rather as if it were an ancestor. But to make the totem favourable they have to multiply its effigies, make offerings and show it respect; in exchange for which they acquire rights over the totem which helps and protects them. In some of the more advanced civilisations, other and more evolved cults were attached to these primitive beliefs. Totemism itself became more complicated.

"Praise for the first edition. . . ...an excellent textbook for a graduate statistics course on nonparametric regression or as an introduction for someone wanting to learn about this area." ---Journal of the American Statistical Association ..."an important contribution to the dissemination of knowledge about nonparametric regression....Eubank's effort is highly tractable and contains many pragmatic tips without unduly sacrificing theoretical rigor. ...the second edition does include the many advances in nonparametric regression that have occurred since the eighties.... It is worthwhile to highlight the following merits of this book. Each chapter opens with a motivation for the topic understudy, and it identifies similarities with or differences from the classic parametric regression approach. Discussions of computation aspects are included wherever appropriate. Illustrative examples and exercises are abundant in each chapter.... ...the book was very well written, and...recommend[ed] to serve as reference and/or a textbook." ---Technometrics "The book is a masterpiece: it is very clearly written, easy to follow and summarizes prominent research in approximation theory, based on mathematical statistics. ...strongly recommend[ed]...." ---Bulletin GEodEsique

Vegetable Production and Practices

Gregory E. Welbaum

Successful vegetable production in a modern competitive market requires an understanding of many more factors than the biology of crops and the production techniques involved. This major new textbook brings the science and practice of vegetable production right up to date by addressing modern culture techniques and the recent challenges of consumer demand facing producers today. It introduces vegetable production from the perspective of producing high quality produce that satisfies the needs of the modern consumer. <br /><br />Beginning with the basics of how vegetables are grown using high and low input methods, including organic and sustainable production techniques, the book goes on to introduce and discuss many topics covered less comprehensively in older texts. <i>Vegetable Production and Practices</i> also introduces the use of molecular biology for genetic improvement of crops.<br /><br />Issues specific to individual vegetable crops are addressed by family, including their diseases, harvesting, quality attributes and other issues of increasing importance to consumers, including the role of vegetables in human health.

Particles scanned with the ecoSCOPE microscope. The blue frame is a 1 mm contrast grid. Particle (ecology) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In marine and freshwater ecology, a particle is a small object. Particles can remain in suspension in the ocean or freshwater. However, they eventually settle (rate determined by Stokes' law) and accumulate as sediment. Some can enter the atmosphere through wave action where they can act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Many organisms filter particles out of the water with unique filtration mechanisms (filter feeders). Particles are often associated with high loads of toxins which attach to the surface. As these toxins are passed up the food chain they accumulate in fatty tissue and become increasingly concentrated in predators (see bioaccumulation). Very little is known about the dynamics of particles, especially when they are re-suspended by dredging. They can remain floating in the water and drift over long distances. The decom

JUMPING OFF THE PLANET David Gerrold [13 jan 2002—scanned, proofed and released for #bookz] MOM AND DAD "I've got an idea!" Dad said. "Let's go to the moon." "Huh—?" I looked up from my comic. "I mean it. What do you kids think? Do you want to go to the moon?" "Yeah, sure," I said, not believing him any more than I had all the other times he'd dangled promises in front of my nose. In the last thirteen years, or at least as much of them as I could remember, he'd promised me the stars, the sky, and a trip to Disneyland. The only time I saw the stars was on TV, the sky was brown, and I still hadn't ridden the Matterhorn bobsleds and probably never would, at least not until I paid for the trip myself. So when he asked me if I'd like to go to the moon, it sounded like just another one of those things that adults say for no other reason than to use up air. Is it just me, or is there something about grownups? What happens when you turn twenty-one? Does the brain shrivel up a

The Sacrifice of Tamar

Naomi Ragen

Returning to familiar terrain in her third novel (after Jephte's Daughter and Sotah), Ragen again examines the lives of ultra-orthodox Jews and the severe consequences that can befall even the most faithful when they take a serious, albeit human misstep. Most of the story takes place in a Brooklyn neighborhood resembling Borough Park, although, as in her previous books, dramatic fanfare occurs in Israel, too. Pious Tamar both adores and is in awe of her warm and brilliant husband, Josh. She is looking forward to an intimate evening after her ritual visit to the mikvah (here Ragen offers a tediously detailed description about Jewish conjugal laws), but that evening she is raped by a black man. She does not tell her husband about the attack, and when she discovers she is pregnant, she does not abort the fetus, because she is not sure whether the rapist or Josh is the father. In trying to make the reader understand why Tamar would choose silence and sustain the pregnancy, Ragen flashes back to Tamar's youth, particularly her relationship with two friends who play pivotal roles throughout her life: Hadassah, the beautiful, rebellious daughter of the neighborhood's primary religious leader, and Jenny, who comes from a secular background but easily adapts to Orthodox observance. The interplay between the girls as they take tentative steps into the secular world of the late 1960s provides some charming scenes, and the final chapters prove moving and dramatic when later consequences of Tamar's deceptive silence shatter her family's life. While Ragen is an able storyteller and handles dialogue deftly, her plots are becoming hackneyed. It's an insular and provincial world that she has chosen to portray, and here she adds little that is new or eye-opening to the reader. <BR>Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Gods of the Runes: The Divine Shapers of Fate

Frank Joseph

At last we have a handy reference, lavishly illustrated, that tells the reader which god or goddess corresponds with which rune, for the entire Futhark. <i>Gods of the Runes</i> should be in every occultists library. (<i>John Tiffany, editor of The Barnes Review</i>)<br /><br />Fully illustrated, Mr. Joseph's work enables access to a personal connection with the 24 Norse deities, the Gods of the Runes. If your interests lie in this direction, I would highly recommend this book. (<i>Inner Light Magazine, UK, January 2011</i>)<br /><br />. . . Joseph has found something quite unique about the runes and their use in the modern world. (<i>Living Traditions Magazine, January 2011</i>)<br /><br />[<i>Gods of the Runes</i>] . . . gifts us, with a bold new understanding of the runes that resonates deeply with the primal spirituality from which they emerged. The system is easy to learn, a joy to work with and very rich in depth. (<i>Thor the Barbarian, The Barbarian Chronicals, February 2011</i>)<br /><br />It is always a pleasure to review works by Frank Joseph. In this case a double pleasure . . . Mr. Joseph brings a welcome new insight into runology due to his deep research into the origins of the symbols themselves, their names, and the Norse gods they embody in a compressed form. . .This work is enhanced by the exquisite illustrations of well-known fantasy artist Ian Daniels. (<i>Jennifer Hoskins, New Dawn Magazine, May 2011</i>)<br /><br />Frank Josephs <i>Gods of the Runes: The Divine Shapers of Fate</i> is a charming and unconventional introduction to runes. Joseph explores the celestial origins of the runes by revealing the major myths of the twenty-four Norse Gods and Goddesses on which the runes are based. Each runes God or Goddess is introduced with an engaging story displaying their personalities and key attributes. Ian Daniels provides stunning illustrations of each God or Goddess, including eight full color illustrations, deepen your understanding of this ancient art. (<i>Witches Almanac, December 2013</i>)

The Berserker's Return: Book III of the Berserker's Saga (Volume 1)

John P. Ribner

Novelist, playwright, and writer, J.P. RIBNER lives in Metro Detroit with his wife and their three children. He plans to begin <i>Into Surtrs Fire</i>, the fourth novel in The Berserkers Saga. He also plans to pen a screenplay adaptation of <i>Legacy of the Bear</i>, among other projects.

Fantasy

Berserkir A Berserkir is a warrior who is blessed with the anger of the gods. In this rage, he loses all control and becomes a killing ma- chine, striking down foes with the strength of twice four men. They have no need for armour, since neither iron nor fire can touch their skin while in this feverish rage. People have tried calming the fires within a Berserkir consumed with Modr by pushing them into vats of ice-cold water, but the water was turned to steam by the fiery anger of the Berserkir’s breast. Throw- ing naked women in the path of a Berserkir has also failed to calm the heavenly rage. In some cases, a Berserkir has been known to transform himself into a mighty bear. After the rage wears off, the warrior is in a weakened state for a time. It is said that a king sent five Berserkirs to conquer a neighbouring kingdom and they accomplished their task, slaying all of the opponent’s armies. This rage is spiritual in nature, since it is a lesser form of what the god Thor posse

[version history and scanning notes] Time Pressure Spider Robinson For all my North Mountain friends, hippies, locals and visitors, and for Raoul Vezina and Steve Thomas from Deathkiller, ©1996 PROLOGUE I guarantee that every word of this story is a lie. ONE It was a dark and stormy night . . . Your suspension of disbelief has probably just bust a leaf-spring: how can you believe in a story that begins that way? I know it's one of the hoariest cliche[aas in pulp fiction; my writer friend Snaker uses the expression satirically often enough. "It was a dark and stormy night—when suddenly the shot rang out. . . ." But I don't especially want you to believe this story—I just want you to listen to it—and even if I were concerned with convincing you there wouldn't be anything I could do about it, the story begins where it begins and that's all there is to it.

Naro the Ancient Spider: The Creation of the Universe (Myths of the Heavens)

Susan Joyce

Grade 2-4-- Although Naro the Ancient gets top billing, the central character is her son, Naro the Younger, who enters the unfinished universe his mother left, using power and knowledge to make life possible. Inspired by an Oceanic creation story, this telling falls well short of the concision and poetic force of myth. If events in myth are to seem inevitable, here readers feel they are merely arbitrary; the narrative doesn't move forward inexorably, but halts and wanders. Stylistic awkwardness (" 'The earth and sky have not been separated,' he said exasperated.") is a further impediment. Joyce, apparently reluctant to face a central moment--when the younger creative power slays the older--makes matricide appear accidental. The book's weaknesses are not compensated for by the murky art and unprofessional layout. --Patricia Dooley, Univ . of Washington, Seattle<BR>Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
