Book Synopsis Second Rising by : Carolyn Jane Dale
Download or read book Second Rising written by Carolyn Jane Dale and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-07 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel in the environmental literature genre, Second Rising combines a mystery, a love story, and a fight against injustice. The narrator, Lauren, is a young chef who buys a restaurant in the town of Quicksilver in the Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest. She soon becomes entangled in the community's fight to preserve their farmlands and way of life, which includes roaming the forests of nearby Mount Baker. A technology mogul has bought vast swathes of land for a project he keeps secret while wresting control of the local government and promising residents new jobs and prosperity. Aligned with international agribusiness, he closes the forests and threatens the local organic farmer who supplies Lauren's restaurant; even the local wild salmon run is endangered. As the community divides into bitter struggle, some choose active resistance, including a bombing and the suspicious death of the mogul's security chief; but Lauren finds strength through her deepening connection to the land. Help arrives in mysterious ways: The town's legendary White Deer appears in the forest, Tibetan monks arrive to make a mandala and spread its blessings, and local Kulshan Indians arrange for Lauren to journey to the Southwest and bring back blue corn with an ancient heritage. Lauren is falling more in love with Grant, a geologist who works for the tech mogul but must make an ethical break when he discovers his employer's true motives. The community is also pulling together, and while a reclusive shape-shifter is at work, and a gemologist nurtures seeds from old amber, more practical residents gather to organize a new city based on innovative ideas and approaches. Inspired by the question, How shall we live, if we truly believe the earth is alive? the characters are buoyed by energy that flows when they act as part of the earth's living systems.Through struggles and crises, the townspeople prevail in the optimistic conclusion. The novel, 436 pages, evokes motifs of European, Asian, and Native American mythologies and vividly describes the land, mountain, and rivers as characters themselves.

Book excerpt: The coming of the Blood Moon will lead two Lycan packs into war, spur two rival brothers into conflict, and spark an act of vengeance so evil that its effects will be felt for generations. One woman stands at the center of it all... After years of waiting, the Blood Law is at last avenged. Lycan Alpha Lucien Mondragon takes revenge on his brother, Rafael. Lucien is poised to slay Rafael's life mate, the Lycan/Slayer half-breed Falon- but cannot complete the kill. For Falon's mystical powers and fiery nature awaken a heart Lucien thought long dead. Instead of ending her life, Lucien defiantly marks Falon as his own, tormenting his brother to insanity and spurning Rafael's blood thirst for his own revenge. Though terrified by the savage Lucien, Falon finds herself inexplicably drawn to his primal rage and strength by a desire she cannot resist. Torn between the true love she has for Rafael and the burning hunger she holds for Lucien, Falon knows that the will of her heart will lead her to her destined life mate. But it may also doom the Alpha brothers-and the Lycan race-to extinction...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dragons are rising... and behind the beasts is a sinister group, led by the will of their ancestors, waiting for centuries, until the time to rise. The four Dragon Lords lurk in shadow and mystery, guiding events to bring about their rise to power and the domination of the known world. Their power grows with each passing day. The terror of their vicious beasts fills every land with fear and darkness. But behind the scenes, carefully hidden, an unlikely group of brave souls rises as well. Their aim: to destroy the Dragon Lords and their fearsome beasts before every land is subjected to their evil. Led by a young man haunted by a childhood encounter with a great red dragon, each of them is destined to discover that danger not only rises from the Dragon Masters, but also from their own sordid pasts. They know the danger. But they also know what will happen to their families and the land they love if the evil of the Dragon Lords is not stopped. FROM THE AUTHOR: These books come from stories I told to my older three kids when they were small. Bedtime, road trips, and many other times I remember hearing kids ask, "Dad, can you tell us a Hon story?" I did... and they finally convinced me to put them into book form, although these stories are much more than they heard in our bedtime tales. I'm a retired pastor, turned author and internet entrepreneur. I love my Lord, my family, and my life. I'd love to get to know you, too.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a long list of activities and events to attend, cousin Thomas paints a picture of city life that makes Jessie’s world seem a little dull in comparison. When her mother suggests they invite Thomas to visit their island, Jessie wonders glumly what she could possibly write in her letter that would sound as exciting as zoos, planetariums or video arcades. But as Jessie looks out over her island home, she sees a world of endless variety, from killer whales in the strait and bald eagles soaring overhead to anemones in tide pools and tiny hermit crabs on the shore. She thinks of countless days spent exploring, fishing, swimming and canoeing.

Book Synopsis The Intonational Phonology of Swabian and Upper Saxon by : Frank Kügler
Download or read book The Intonational Phonology of Swabian and Upper Saxon written by Frank Kügler and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-07-11 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study employs an autosegmental-metrical model of intonation to propose an intonational grammar of Swabian and Upper Saxon German, respectively. The analysis is guided by the assumption that each dialect exhibits a specific distinct intonation. The phonological analysis is comparative in nature: the implementation of accents are compared between the dialects in terms of tonal alignment and excursion. In fact, the phonetic data present evidence for the phonological analysis in that the individual tonal categories differ significantly from each other. In addition, a functional analysis of the intonation contours provides further evidence for the phonological analysis. Based on the assumption that nuclear contours convey intonational meaning, these meanings are analysed and compared. A certain meaning can be attributed to intonation contours that differ phonologically between the two dialects. However, the general shape of contours and its association with meaning has been proved to be identical in the two dialects and compared to a similar analysis of intonational meaning of British English. This comprehensive study of dialect intonation contributes to improve our understanding of intonational phonology.

Book Synopsis Puccini's Turandot by : William Ashbrook
Download or read book Puccini's Turandot written by William Ashbrook and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1991-04-23 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unfinished at Puccini's death in 1924, Turandot was not only his most ambitious work, but it became the last Italian opera to enter the international repertory. In this colorful study two renowned music scholars demonstrate that this work, despite the modern climate in which it was written, was a fitting finale for the centuries-old Great Tradition of Italian opera. Here they provide concrete instances of how a listener might encounter the dramatic and musical structures of Turandot in light of the Italian melodramma, and firmly establish Puccini's last work within the tradition of Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, and Verdi. In a summary of the sounds, sights, and symbolism of Turandot, the authors touch on earlier treatments of the subject, outline the conception, birth, and reception of the work, and analyze its coordinated dramatic and musical design. Showing how the evolution of the libretto documents Puccini's reversion to large musical forms typical of the Great Tradition in the late nineteenth century, they give particular attention to his use of contrasting Romantic, modernist, and two kinds of orientalist coloration in the general musical structure. They suggest that Puccini's inability to complete the opera resulted mainly from inadequate dramatic buildup for Turandot's last-minute change of heart combined with an overly successful treatment of the secondary character.
