[ "Dean Ottati works for a large corporation and seeks real meaning in his life, beyond the hardball negotiations that make up his long workday. He feels that capitalism has made us all poorer—slaves of the clock, pursuing the illusory. To find real substance, he runs—on trails and roads and beaches, alone or with friends, constantly challenging himself physically and intellectually. He peels back layers of hardness from his heart. He finds a new balance in the forces of family, work, love, solitude, money, happiness, and time. Ottati’s quest takes him on a fascinating path toward a common-sense enlightenment.", "Now available in paperback." ]

[ "When Kim Philby fled to Moscow in 1963, he became the most notorious double agent in the history of espionage. Recruited into His Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service at the beginning of World War II, he rose to become the chief liaison officer with the CIA in Washington after the war. The exposure of a group of British double agents known as the Cambridge Five led to the revelation that Philby had begun spying for the Soviet Union years before he joined the British intelligence service. He eventually fled to Moscow and spent the last twenty-five years of his life in Russia.", "In", "Young Philby", ",", "Robert Littell recounts the little-known story of the spy's early years, exploring the evolution of a mysteriously beguiling man who kept his masters on both sides of the Iron Curtain guessing about his ultimate loyalties.

[ "From humble beginnings and a difficult childhood, Pat Benedict achieved the rank of commander in the Navy Nursing Corps. She spent several years in Africa as a Lay Missionary Helper during a leave from the Navy.

After retirement she went on to work with LAPD in the area of youth gangs and also with Oklahoma City PD.

[ "The battle of Franklin, Tennessee, November 30, 1864, was, on some parts of the line, the bloodiest of the Civil War. Never on any field did braver men go. Nor did men ever dare and do more than was done by the Confederates to whom it fell to bear the heat and burden of that fateful day. That much will be demonstrated in the following narrative so plainly that the assertion may hereafter be accepted as a historic truth; for no statement of material fact will be made which the writer is not prepared to authenticate." ]

[ "Esta obra aborda en profundidad tres de las preguntas más fascinantes que la ciencia actual tiene planteadas: el origen del universo, la emergencia de la vida y la aparición de nuestra especie. La investigación sobre estos tres orígenes no sólo alcanza las fronteras del conocimiento científico sino que lo trasciende e involucra a otros campos de la cultura y el pensamiento. En este libro, marcadamente  interdisciplinar, cada parte ha sido escrita por un experto en el origen correspondiente: un cosmólogo, un bioquímico y un paleoantropólogo. Con ello, la obra viene a llenar un vacío en la literatura científica en español y es esperable que tenga una amplia aceptación entre distintos tipos de lectores. Los accesibles textos,  que a la vez son rigurosos y están muy actualizados, se completan con un buen número de ilustraciones muy sugerentes, y van precedidos por un prólogo escrito por el reputado investigador Ricard Solé." ]

[ "Hilal Elver offers an in-depth study of the escalating controversy over the right of Muslim women to wear headscarves. Examining legal and political debates in Turkey, several European countries including France and Germany, and the United States, Elver shows the troubling exclusion of piousMuslim women from the public sphere in the name of secularism, democracy, liberalism, and women's rights. After evaluating political actions and court decisions from the national level of individual governments to the international sphere of the European Court of Human Rights, Elver concludes that judges and legislators are increasingly influenced by social pressures concerning immigration andmulticulturalism, and by issues such as Islamophobia, the \"war on terror,\" and security concerns. She shows how these influences have resulted in a failure on the part of many Western governments to recognize and protect essential individual freedoms.Employing a critical legal theory perspective to the headscarf controversy, Elver argues that law can be used to change underlying social conditions shaping the role of religion, and also the position of women in modern society.", "The Headscarf Controversy", "demonstrates how changes in law acrossnations can be used to restore state commitments to human rights." ]

[ "About the Author", "Hilal Elver", "is a research professor at the University of California Santa Barbara, where she has been Distinguished Visiting Professor since January, 2002. Previously she was the UNEP Chair on Environmental Diplomacy at the Mediterranean Academy of Diplomatic Studies in Malta, and taught at theUniversity of Ankara, Faculty of Law, where she received her law degree and Ph.D. She also has an SJD from UCLA Law School. Her publications focus on international environmental law and human rights, specifically in relation to women's rights." ]

All rights reserved.", "\"Golden Prague,\" \"Prague the hundred-towered,\" \"the most beautiful city in Europe\": such clichés are certainly true, though they tell only part of the story. Ocher in color, many of the city's buildings can gleam like gold, especially in the glow of the late afternoon sun; the skyline is punctuated by the uncountable towers, turrets, and steeples; and Prague's beauty is incontestable.The site is superb, with rock bluffs above a broad and curving river, and steep slopes rising through orchards and woodland. Human activities have enhanced what Nature provided so generously, crowning the heights with great churches and palaces, emphasizing the slopes with terraced gardens, precipitous streets, and flights of stairs, and marking the course of the river with a sequence of foaming weirs and bold bridges. Over a thousand years of history is expressed in stone: the foundations of the first Christian churches can still be seen, while below the sidewalks of the Old Town are vaulted cellars that once formed the ground floor of medieval merchants' houses. In the 17th and 18th centuries the Baroque style transformed the city's appearance. In the 19th century came great landmarks such as the National Museum and National Theater -- testimony to the Czech nation's self-confidence -- followed by the extravagances of art nouveau. Even the radical architects of the first half of the 20th century managed to insert their innovative buildings into the urban scene with a minimum of disturbance. In spite of (or perhaps as a result of) military defeats, occupation, and denial of citizens' rights, the four distinct quarters that form Prague's historic core are in a near-perfect state of preservation. They are the Castle district (Hradcany), the Lesser Town (Malá Strana) at its foot, the Old Town (Staré mesto) across the river, and the New Town (Nové mesto) laid out in the 14th century.Beyond is a ring of rundown suburbs, largely 19th-century, then an outer circle of high-rise housing projects and satellite towns built during the last 40 years. These suburbs are where most Praguers live. For many, life after Communism remains gray, the struggle to make ends meet greater than ever. Others have embraced the new freedom with alacrity; there's an obvious enjoyment in the previously forbidden pleasures of making and spending money. The continuing stream of visitors from abroad adds an extra element of vibrancy and has vastly improved the places to eat and to stay. Entrepreneurs are everywhere, opening shops, cafés, and bars. There's excitement in the air, particularly among the young, as Prague claims its rightful place in a Europe from which it has been long excluded." ]

From the British tea planters and army officers in India who first witnessed the game in the early 1800s to the Indian Army, which made an enormous contribution to keeping polo alive after Independence, this fast-paced and exciting sport has attracted a legion of loyal fans. Traditionally a royal sport, the Indian princely states of Patiala, Jodhpur and Jaipur did much to advance the popularity of polo in the early twentieth century, producing some truly iconic players. In the 1980s the sport was revived by another princely stateUdaipur." ]

Unlike most high contrast children books that are used for such development this book uses 21 specially designed fractals.These fractals add another layer to the infants development, further enhancing their focus, ability to track, and their ability to scan. The mathematical algorithms used to generate these fractals are meant to mimic the patterns that occur in nature and infants respond better to natural images which sets these book apart from all the others on the market. Using fractals for this kind of development is new, exciting, and revolutionary.Start with Book 1 for baby's first five months, then start to incorporate Book 2 (which will be published late 2021/early 2022) for further development." ]

[ "If you are frightened by the Book of Revelation, confused by its complexity and convinced you can't understand it, this book is for you. There is a liar in the world and a Truth-Teller. The book of Revelation gives us a very clear picture of these opposing beings, and invites us to make a choice. The choice is unmistakable and the results of each are very logical. The Book of Revelation is the conclusion of God's salvation plan, and the book itself is a gracious revealing of the only way we can be \"ready\" for the inevitable end of the world as we know it. It would be a shame if we arrived at the end only to give in to fear when Revelation tells us who can keep us safe; who can make us \"ready\". This book, a summary of the message of Revelation, follows the \"Be Ready\" seminar. Jon's first book, Revelation Plain and Simple, is a compilation of a detailed 42 sermon series through the entire Book of Revelation. Both books are available on Amazon.com. Pastor Jonathan MacKinney is a graduate of Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. He pastored two Evangelical Free Churches in Minnesota before planting Chandler Bible Church in Chandler, Arizona. He retired from the local church ministry in 2016 and now travels with his wife, Jan, to take the message of Revelation wherever people are willing to listen. They have 3 children and 5 grandsons." ]

[ "From the Author", "This book is the result of teaching over 20 seminars on the book of Revelation. The \"Be Ready\" seminar seeks to preserve the message of Revelation; that we be informed ahead of time of the changes that will inevitably take place in our world. We don't know the time and we don't know the identity of our deceitful adversaries, but Revelation tells us the nature of their deception so that we might not be sucked in by it. This book is a great deal shorter than my first book, \"Revelation Plain and Simple.\" That is because it seeks just to proclaim the message that Jesus gave to His church in the book of Revelation. Jesus calls us to be ready, to be alert, and He gave us this revelation so that we would recognize the deceiver no matter when he is active. And in the end, that deception will be powerful. But the truth of God will rescue us." ]

[ "With a Forward by Gary Anderson, director of the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel.", "Have you ever wondered, while sitting in traffic or waiting to board a crowded airplane, what it was like to travel the rails? In his new book,", "Famous Name Trains: Travelling in Style with the CPR", ", former CPR archivist David Laurence Jones goes back in time to describe what it was like to travel on some of the CPR's famous \"name trains,\" like the", "Pacific Express", ", the", "Imperial Limited", ", and the", "Canadian", ". Jones evokes both the practical interiors of the early colonist cars with their communal sleeping arrangements and wooden bench seats, and the luxury of the higher-end cars that looked and felt like rolling men's clubs with wooden veneers, plush carpets, and upholstered chairs. These first-class cars would later become five-star hotels on wheels. Jones tracks the evolution of the passenger train, detailing improvements in engine strength, heating, lighting, interior design, and innovative sleeping arrangements. Although the focus of the book is the CPR's famous name trains, Jones talks about other CPR enterprises that fed into and contributed to the railway. These included the dining halls and mountain chalets built at railway divisional points across the country, the rustic bungalow camps operated in both Ontario and within the Canadian Rockies, and the CPR's iron steamships that sailed the Great Lakes. Steamships like the", "Algoma", ",", "Alberta", ", and", "Athabasca", "provided passenger service between Owen Sound and what is now part of Thunder Bay, connecting passengers to CPR trains heading west. As the reader will find out, the steamships have their own stories to tell, both romantic and tragic." ]

[ "Review", "\"Jones, for years an archivist with the Canadian Pacific Railway, is the right man for the job: an informed fan's notes about the generations of CPR trains (the Pacific Express, the Trans-Canada Limited, the Canadian and many others). He writes easily, whether about the joy of riding the trains as a child or the patronizing attitudes experienced by black sleeping-car porters. The book is well laid out for browsing, with copious photographs, artifacts (a children's breakfast menu with cartoon beavers in circus hats) and, of course, the railway's brilliant marketing posters.\"-", "The Globe and Mail", "\"Anyone remotely interested in trains should pick up a copy of David Laurence Jones's", "Famous Name Trains: Travelling in Style with the CPR", ", which is chock full of interesting anecdotes, colourful poster images and historical photos....Jones, the son of a \"long-time railway man\" as well as the CPR's manager of internal communications, is an ideal teller of these train tales.\"--", "Westworld magazine", "\"These magnificent, romantic trains each have their own story to tell, laying the tracks for the history of the passenger train across the country. The photographs of the trains, dining halls, sleeping cars, menus, and advertising, as well as a history of the Great Lakes steamships that connected passengers to the trains heading West, make a great holiday gift.\"-", "Good Times (Toronto)", "\"The black-and-white pics and period posters are fantastic.\"-", "Alberta Venture", "About the Author", "David Laurence Jones is manager of internal communications at Canadian Pacific Railway.

[ "How You Lose is a remarkable work of fiction in which a constellation of artfully linked stories follows a young woman named Melody, the man who shot her—Alex—and several people whose lives intersect briefly with Melody’s in a succession of meaningful coincidences. A wise and penetrating debut novel about the life-altering repercussions of a crime—for the perpetrator and victims alike—How You Lose plumbs the psychological depths of empathy, redemption, and identity. Distinguished not only by its compelling themes and all-too-human characters, How You Lose is remarkable for its elegant orchestration of the stories: They stand alone, but as the book progresses, they build into a whole that emerges as a deeply resounding and unified depiction of both the fragility and resilience of the human condition." ]

[ "From Publishers Weekly", "Fifteen linked short stories make up this strong debut novella, which explores a young woman's life after a trauma that she's determined to overcome. In the first story, 18-year-old protagonist Melody Wells returns to the now-empty Denver house where a burglar killed her father and shot and left her for dead. Several other stories follow Mel over the next 13 years, during which time she travels to escape her pain and becomes a writer; Amberchele's clear, vigorous prose brings Mel's resilient spirit to life. It's a shock to get inside the mind of the killer, Alex Pitts, former druggie and eternal lost soul, as he tries to escape from prison in the title story. Another, entitled \"State Hospital,\" revisits Pitt in a psychiatric unit after the crime. The stories about Mel's friends are less effective, but Amberchele hits the literary bull's-eye with Mel, particularly in the narratives where she meets the man she seems destined to marry, \"Hardly Friends\" and \"Do I Know You?\" These clear and nuanced narratives pack a cumulative wallop, although Amberchele seems to be such a natural storyteller that this might have been a more focused book with a conventional linear approach. What makes it work is the author's ability to convey Mel's sense of loss and wrenching agony as she moves toward her cathartic meeting with Pitts in the final story, the outcome of which is rendered all the more poignant by the fact that Amberchele himself is currently serving time in prison.Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.", "From Library Journal", "Two of the short stories comprising this debut novel won first prizes in the annual PEN Center writing awards for prisoners. The stories are linked by reappearing characters and occasionally interconnecting relationships. The most vividly drawn character, Mel, is a young woman shot by the narrator, Alex, during a bungled robbery in which her father was murdered. Mel recovers from her injuries but is forever changed by the shootings: unable to form close relationships and lacking all faith in possessions and ultimate safety, she now researches and writes books on the homeless and illegal immigration. Other characters include a divorced former executive who may have purchased Mel's family home and his ski-bum girlfriend, Toni, herself involved with a compulsive liar, a dope-running adventurer named Dwight. Not to be forgotten is the collection of aging prisoners in the run-down maximum-security facility with Alex. The chapters describing Mel's trip with a pilot smuggling migrants in the United States and Dwight's final run-in with federales in Mexico soar beyond the usual confines of this genre. Highly recommended for a broad audience. Reba Leiding, James Madison Univ. Lib., Harrisonburg, VA Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.", "From", "Booklist", "A young woman named Melody is nearly killed in a home invasion. Her father is killed, shot in the head. The killer goes off to jail. Melody is left to come to terms with what happened as she recovers from a gunshot wound to the head. How these events happened is explained in a series of related short stories that the author describes as a \"novel in stories.\" Author Amberchele, who writes from prison, shows an impressive, deft touch. Each story has its own substance and tone. \"Hardly Friends,\" which illuminates Melody's manic, potentially self-destructive hitchhiking in Mexico, is wonderfully edgy. \"Where Fathers Go\" is a sepia-toned reverie of a man recalling a childhood summer. \"So I Told Him\" is a quirky tale of a chance meeting of high-school acquaintances. Most of the stories could stand on their own. Collectively, though, they are something special: a poised and graceful \"novel of stories\" that is more than the sum of its parts.", "Thomas Gaughan", "Copyright © American Library Association.

[ "New scientific paradigms typically consist of an expansion of the conceptual language with which we describe the world. Over the past decade, theoretical physics and quantum information theory have turned to category theory to model and reason about quantum protocols. This new use of categorical and algebraic tools allows a more conceptual and insightful expression of elementary events such as measurements, teleportation and entanglement operations, that were obscured in previous formalisms. Recent work in natural language semantics has begun to use these categorical methods to relate grammatical analysis and semantic representations in a unified framework for analysing language meaning, and learning meaning from a corpus. A growing body of literature on the use of categorical methods in quantum information theory and computational linguistics shows both the need and opportunity for new research on the relation between these categorical methods and the abstract notion of information flow. This book supplies an overview of how categorical methods are used to model information flow in both physics and linguistics. It serves as an introduction to this interdisciplinary research, and provides a basis for future research and collaboration between the different communities interested in applying category theoretic methods to their domain's open problems." ]

Under the guidance of the White Eagle, Matt Clayton might just have a chance.", "Spirit of the White Eagle", "is a classic Western, with nods to legends like Kit Carson, Wyatt Earp, and Doc Holliday.

He served as a combat engineer in the Vietnam War, and has since worked in construction, as well as holding local office and serving as a member of the Local Volunteer Rescue Squad. Taylor's passion for Westerns has persisted since his youth, and he continues to read any and all accounts of both the real-life and fictionalized characters of the Wild West. His own family has numerous ties to that time period: a distant relative who was among the first Texas Rangers, Taylors who were heroes and outlaws across the West, and a family lineage that counts Cherokee Indians among its ancestors. Inspired by this passion for Westerns, Taylor has recreated that time and place in Spirit of the White Eagle, the first of many stories of the West." ]

In LIARS & THIEVES, he's sent to post guard duty at a farmhouse in Virginia's remote Blue Ridge Mountains, where top government operatives are debriefing a star defector: the ultimate KGB insider, a man with records on every operation and every dirty trick the shadowy intelligence agency has ever run, from Lenin to Putin. Carmellini arrives to find the guards shot dead, and a ruthless team of commandos - American commandos - slaughtering everyone in sight, then setting the house on fire. He escapes a hail of bullets and a deadly mountain car chase with what seems to be the sole survivor, a beautiful and mysterious translator who steals his car and leaves him for dead at the first chance. What secrets did the defector know? Who would have killed to prevent him from talking? And how could a hit team act so fast, so efficiently, and so murderously without intimate, inside knowledge of the debriefing? Smart money says someone in the U.S. government is behind the massacre and is now after Carmellini. And that begs the biggest question of all: in a world where nothing is as it seems and no one is who he pretends to be, who can Carmellini trust? Finding out will be terrifying.

[ "With intelligence, insight, and humor, Odette Harper Hines describes her life—a life that reversed the pattern of the Great Migration by beginning in prosperity in the urban North and moving into the small-town South. Recorded by Judith Rollins over eight years, this intimate narrative is an unusual collaboration between two African American women who represent two generations of civil rights activists.", "Born in New York into a comfortable family, Hines' activism began I the Abyssinian Baptist Church in her teens and continued throughout her life as she witnessed the Great Depression in Harlem, worked on the WPA Writers Project, became publicity director of the NAACP, and volunteered for the Red Cross in Europe during WWII. When she moved to Louisiana in 1946, she continued to challenge racial injustice and risked her life to house civil rights workers in the early 1960s (Rollins, among them). She later started and directed the Headstart Program in her parish.", "Throughout this narrative, Hines describes her relationships with such figures as Mary McLeod Bethune, Adam Clayton Powell, Walter White, Thurgood Marshall, Ella Baker, Marcus Garvey, Claude McKay, Ralph Ellison, and many others. Yet Hines' memoir is not only about her public life. She courageously reveals her personal life and private pain. Twenty-eight photographs— mostly from Hines' family album—accentuate this oral history that is, as Rollins states in her Introduction, \"a complex and textured portrait of an extraordinary twentieth century American woman.\"" ]

[ "Amazon.com Review", "In the 1960s, Judith Rollins was working for CORE in Louisiana, where she was housed by a remarkable woman--Odette Harper Hines, whose lifelong activism benefited the NAACP, the WPA Writers Project, and the Red Cross along with countless people on whose behalf she worked for racial justice. Recorded by Rollins over eight years, this is a spirited oral history of an extraordinary woman whose public life intersected with such figures as Walter White, Thurgood Marshall, Ralph Ellison, and many others.", "From Publishers Weekly", "This oral history of civil-rights activist Odette Harper Hines is not the usual account of sit-ins, marches, triumphs and tragedies?it offers a more intimate look in which Hines reveals many sides of her life as a daughter, sister, wife, mother and worker as well as activist. Hines was from a large, prosperous family in the Bronx, New York. Although there was no family history of community activism, Hines became involved in her early teens with the Abyssinian Baptist Church and later with the NAACP, the Red Cross, CORE and Headstart. Along the way she befriended such figures as Mary McLeod Bethune, Thurgood Marshall, Adam Clayton Powell, Marcus Garvey, Ralph Ellison and Claude McKay. It wasn't only her encounters with the great that shaped her life, however, and Hines doesn't shrink from mentioning the humiliations of racism she faced daily. What makes this such a striking and rich narrative is Hines's honesty. Most activists will not question the results of their work, but Hines does. She discusses her involvement in promoting school integration, then questions whether, given the resulting loss of jobs for good black teachers and persistent communication gap between white teachers and black children, it was good for the black community. Rollins relates Hines's story in a powerful yet entertaining style. By the end, readers will feel that not only have they met Hines?they know her. Illustrated. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.", "From Library Journal", "This very well done book narrates the life of Odette Hines, who grew up in New York City in the 1920s and 1930s then married and moved in the 1940s to a small Louisiana community, where she still lives. While a young woman, she was part of the Work Projects Administration Writers' Project, worked as publicity director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and served as a Red Cross volunteer in Europe in World War II. Among her colleagues and friends were Ralph Ellison, Thurgood Marshall, Paul Robeson, and many other notables. Hines was a life-long activist for Civil Rights. Her story is fascinating because of her participation in so many historical events. It is most compelling, however, for the perspective it offers on racism and activism.

She pocketed the bolt cutters she’d used to sever the electricity to the farm’s flood lamps and enjoyed the cool shadows that washed over her skin like a gentle caress. She’d chosen a farm on the outskirts of Ferrington, far from the main street, where the entire town had gathered for the evening. It was a sweltering summer night, and the flood lamps had made her shirt and pants stick to her skin. Not anymore.", "Unlike most people, Leta longed for shadows. Ever since she was a child, she’d had an affinity for the darkness. She liked that anything could be out there, a whole world full of possibilities hidden from sight. And one of those possibilities was why she was in Ferrington.", "Ferrington was a small rural region around three hundred miles from Downtown Kardelle, near the easternmost point of the nation. Not long after edem had first been detected, a group of farmers emigrated from the agricultural nation of Delften to plant crops and rear livestock. Ferrington was known for its mineral-rich soils, a positive side effect of edem. Crops flourished, the torlu berry in particular. Used in jams, jellies, fermented tonics and even vitamin supplements, torlu berries had become Telene’s principal agricultural export. But in the last few years, other nations had retracted their trade deals and refused all immigration requests until the Regency stopped the spread of edem.", "In the hundred years since the veil had been discovered, many people had fled Telene, searching for safer shores. The monarchs had provided monetary incentive for people to stay. In turn, they’d nearly bankrupted the government.", "Some people, veil worshippers, believed the only solution was to master the use of edem for industry and the economy. But the monarchs refused to put society at risk and allow the veil to grow.", "Leta believed edem could be better understood. Ever since her mother had died, she’d taken it upon herself to know everything about the time-altering substance. And while the Regency worried itself only over what edem could do and its consequences, Leta wanted to know more about where it came from.", "At school, Leta had been taught that the veil was like a tear in the world’s surface and what lay beneath was edem. That never made much sense to her; there had to be more to the veil than a liquidy pool. When her teachers provided no satisfying answers, it further fueled Leta’s fascination.", "Leta’s father often blamed her veil obsession on her mother. And it was true, like her mother’s, Leta’s mind never yielded. Her mother had curated a library full of books on edem theory. At night, Leta used to ask her mother to throw a blanket over the permalamp and read myths of the veil to her. Her mother would oblige, teaching her that darkness itself was nothing to fear and that edem was not as dangerous as everyone believed. She taught Leta that edem was trying to help by carrying out the wishes of the person who wielded it, and that we needed to learn how to master it rather than outright condemn it. Although she never allowed her daughter to touch edem, she merely helped Leta to be at peace with its presence.", "As Leta walked through the fields, she thought about her mother’s final moments. Had she walked this exact path? What had she been thinking of before she died? Did she have a moment of clarity, or was she terrified of what was to come? And would she be happy knowing Leta had continued her investigations?", "These stories, or conspiracies—as Cayder liked to refer to them—were a connection between mother and daughter that lingered in the darkness. Investigating these stories was the only way Leta knew how to keep her mother’s memory alive. In the harsh daylight, the memory of her mother’s face was hazy. In the dark, she could still hear her voice filling her head with dark fairy tales.", "Leta first read about edem creatures in a book she’d borrowed from the school library, not from her mother’s collection. When she had asked her mother about the creatures that supposedly roamed the region of Ferrington at night, her mother had said they were just another tall tale.", "As Leta got older and continued her own investigations, she began to question whether these were tales at all.", "Leta had never wanted to visit Ferrington. For years it hurt to even think of the place that had taken her mother’s life. Then, six months ago, Leta found a piece of paper stuck in the back of one of her mother’s books. The letter detailed a sighting of an edem creature by a local farmer in Ferrington that was dated mere days before her mother had died near that farm. Leta began to wonder if there was more to her mother’s death.", "Had she been attacked by one of these creatures that reportedly broke into homes in the middle of the night, searching for food—their hunger never satiated? What were the creatures, supposedly made of edem, looking for? Naysayers claimed the only things plaguing Ferrington were the windstorms that got trapped in the valley, not creatures from another world.", "Cayder would be furious if he knew where Leta was right now, but she had to find out if there was any truth to the stories.", "This time, her source was reliable.", "“I’ll find out the truth,” Leta whispered into the black. “I promise, Mother.”", "With the electric buzz of the flood lamps gone, Leta could hear the swish of tails and scratching of claws as small creatures scurried through the fields. But she couldn’t hear anything unusual.", "What does an edem creature sound like, anyway?", "she asked herself.", "In the distance, she could see a small flicker of fire in the center of town. The town’s populace had gathered for Edemmacht—a celebration commemorating when farmers from Delften first arrived in Ferrington and discovered the rich soil. The festivities mostly included torlu berry pie competitions and drinking excessive amounts of torlu tonic around a bonfire.", "The fire was for ceremonial purposes only; after all, flood lamps were installed in nearly every corner of the town, and the night was already blisteringly hot. Legends stated that fire would keep the edem creatures—the hullen—away. The", "hullen", "was Delft for the “living dark,” and while many locals thought the stories to be old superstition, others blamed any strange goings-on in the town on the edem creatures. Broken windows, frightened livestock, unexplainable noises at night. And the constant flickering of lights.", "Leta was relying on the excessive drinking at Edemmacht to ensure her plan went off without a hitch. She wouldn’t leave until she had her answers.", "As she approached the cage she’d set up that afternoon, she saw a small blue bird sitting inside, so still, she thought the bird was already dead.", "“I’m sorry,” she whispered, taking the bird into her gloved hands. “I don’t want to hurt you.”", "She’d asked around town about the stories of the hullen. Most had laughed off her questions and blamed the windstorms. But one woman had told her to head to a small bar on the main street. There she would find Ritne Arden.", "Leta was not disappointed. The old farmer had been easy to spot, a glass of torlu tonic in his hand, sitting in the corner of the brightly lit bar, his skin like old cracked leather.", "“Ritne?” Leta had asked as she took the seat next to him.", "The man looked up slowly from his drink, his eyes bloodshot and glassy. “You come to laugh at an old man?” He spoke with a slight Delft accent, his vowels clipped.", "“No, I was told you could tell me about the—”", "“Shhh.” He pulled her close by the crook of her arm. “Don’t say the word. It’s not safe.”", "Leta unlatched his skeletal hands from her. “We’re safe. There’s no edem.”", "Ritne’s eyes flashed about the bar. “I’m not worried about that. I’m worried about . . .” He lowered his voice to a whisper. “The Regency.”", "He nodded over to an agent who stood watch off to the side of the room.", "“Oh?” Leta leaned forward even though Ritne’s breath smelled like a vat of fermenting torlu berries and made her eyes water. “What about them?”", "He smacked his chapped lips together. “Why do you want to know?”", "“My mother was killed in this town seven years ago,” Leta said. “I think she was out here investigating the existence of the hullen.”", "“Your mother worked for the Regency?”", "She nodded. “If these creatures are real, why are the Regency keeping them a secret?”", "“No one believes me.” Ritne downed the remainder of the liquid from his glass.", "“", "I", "believe you.” Although she didn’t. Not yet. She needed proof there was more to edem. More to the veil. Then her father would have to listen.", "Ritne’s eyes lit up. “You’ve seen the hullen?”", "“No,” Leta admitted. “But I want to.” She needed to. She needed to make sense of", "that", "night. The truth would make up for everything else she’d done.", "Ritne told her she needed to offer a sacrifice for the hullen to appear. A sacrifice of flesh, blood and bone.", "That was why she was now standing in the middle of the dark, a bird in one hand, edem curling around the other.", "“I’m sorry,” she said again to the bird. She didn’t have a weapon, but edem would take care of that. She hoped edem would make the bird’s death as swift and as painless as possible.", "She closed her eyes as the edem coiled around her free hand like a serpent.", "I can do this. I can do this.", "She heard the sound of an animal shrieking and a loud bang in the distance.", "--This text refers to the", "paperback", "edition.", "From School Library Journal", "Gr 7 Up-Since his mother's death in an edem-summoning accident when he was 10, 17-year-old Cayder Broduck has dedicated his life to making sure edem criminals get the justice they deserve. Edem-time-and-space warping magic that exists only in shadows-has posed a threat to the nation of Telene for over 100 years, ever since the veil opened on the edge of the sea and poured edem into the world. Using edem is strictly prohibited by Telene's iron-fisted government, and Cayder has taken on an apprenticeship with the nation's top public defender to learn the other side of the law. But when three high-profile edem-related murders happen in quick succession and all three cases drop in his lap, Cayder soon realizes that justice is not always so black-and-white, especially when he finds out one of the criminals is his own sister. Scholte's third novel is a mash-up fantasy/legal drama/heist story whose parts don't become a cohesive whole. Several aspects of the worldbuilding are interesting, but aren't explored deeply enough to create a sense of immersion. The cast of characters is diverse, with several characters described as having dark skin, but shallow; it's difficult for readers to sympathize or be involved with the characters due to their lack of fleshing out. However, the plot contains just enough hooks to keep readers wondering what will happen next and find out who-or what-is behind these murders. VERDICT An interesting but not-fully-realized fantasy legal drama. Recommended for shelves that are light on those genres, but feel free to skip.-Tyler Hixsonα(c) Copyright 2011.

I would be delighted for you to use my words on your web site to help encourage others. I would add also that I now view having had the fibroids as a great blessing. My determination to find an alternative to female castration led me to your web site. That is when I discovered the fibroids were my body's way of communicating that I had some emotional healing to do, and I needed to take much better care. I followed the teachings, and now am physically healed as well as the wonderful feeling of being set free. God Bless you for the work you do, and Thank you. Gaynor - San Diego (letter on file with author) --Gaynor - San DiegoWith the exercises in the book I have been able to identify the actual cause of the problem by seeing a pattern to all the seemingly unrelated bizarre incidents of my childhood. As a result I can now grasp the stem of the nettle to pull it out by the roots and I feel for the first time I have a chance to begin again as me. On the strength of the above, I have three friends all buying copies of your book and none of them have fibroids. I don t mind in the least you using my comments I am grateful to you for the help you ve provided. More is still unravelling in my head everyday and making sense of other issues too. What your book has done is worth every penny regardless of whether the fibroid completely disappears or not the impact is already greater than the fibroid itself (I have one the size of a large grapefruit plus other small ones). --Ms. P.H (direct email to author) details can be provided for confirmation purposes if required.A friend of mine is reading your book and finding it tremendously helpful, and I would like to order it for another friend (I don't believe fibroids are her main problem, but she has other serious health issues which your book may well help with) --Ms. J.B (direct email to author)I have been working through the writing exercises in the book and have found as a result little miracles have been happening.

Rather than viewing global capitalism as an eluctable natural force, these essays seek to show how a dialectic of power and resistance is at work in the contemporary global political economy, producing and contesting new realities and creating conditions in which new forms of collective self determination become thinkable and materially possible.

When individuals choose their careers, mates or networks to belong to and to identify with, they are influenced by rapid technological developments, economic uncertainty and other ongoing changes in society. On the other hand, by their choices they also construct new social realities. The book addresses lifestyles and social change in connection with a wide range of issues: belonging to different movements and networks; changes in gender order, work and partner choices; changes in home cultures and ways of residing; emerging translocal belonging and cross cultural relationships; consumption choices and construction of identities.
