Book excerpt: Vera a young girl, deeply in love, had gone back to her parents in the village. She had sought a quiet place to study for her upcoming exams....when all hell broke loose. Will she be able to survive the harrowing ordeals she endures? Milo, a young man, had just completed his law studies, hazy with love, describes Vera: 'Her graceful walk resembles the soft falling of the snow undisturbed by the wind. Her eyes derive a magic light that sips through my body and rests in my heart. Her gentle soul is like a fresh drop of dew from the eyes of the parting night onto young leaves of a sapling.' When he hears what has befallen Vera, Milo embarks on a rescue mission. Will he be in time to save her....or too late?This is an honest account of an enthralling story. It looks at the excessive pain, terror and death caused by humans to other fellow humans. But at the same time, it highlights the way ordinary people from opposite sides, being aware of the futility of this war, help one another.
Book Synopsis Christopher Nicholas by : Cas Erchamion
Download or read book Christopher Nicholas written by Cas Erchamion and published by Western English Services. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The world burned. Our home drowned. I fell into twilight. I dreamed of a tiny ripple born in the heart of a storm. Resonating in the rage of an ancient enemy returned from exile, it became a wave. Echoing misery suffered by alienation, it gained tidal strength and lapped against the walls of an island sanctum, heralding both threat and blessing. Tall, strong and singular in purpose, the once tiny ripple grew into a tsunami, rolling quietly across the ocean like a rogue continent towards a peaceful coastline. Unheeded, unexpected, the mighty surge collided against the will of an indomitable foe. The devastation left in its wake was a small price to pay for the calm that followed. The meek could inherit, at least for a short while, the earth." - Usher Ravenscrawl, Archivist of Twilenos. Raised and educated in a realm far removed from civilization, Nicholas finds himself forced into exile and pursued by a misanthropic entity. Venturing to remote corners of the world in an effort to avoid capture, he learns more of past events that shaped the fate of humanity over millennia. Armed only with an odd assortment of birthday gifts, which lack any kind of resemblance to a weapon, Nicholas is, nevertheless, forced into conflict far earlier than his benefactors intended. Artfully rendered into an impromptu adventure around the ancient world, this historical fiction/fantasy weaves a genesis myth about a folklore icon's youthful struggle. Despite his fears, Nicholas draws inexorably towards a confrontation he has little chance of surviving.
Book Synopsis Assault in Norway by : Thomas Gallagher
Download or read book Assault in Norway written by Thomas Gallagher and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An exciting and dramatic episode.”—Library Journal “Cliff-hanging suspense.”—Christian Science Monitor Assault in Norway is the classic account of a legendary raid on the Nazi war program. By 1942 Germany had a seemingly insurmountable lead over the Allies in developing an atomic bomb. Contributing to this situation was its access to a crucial ingredient: “heavy water,” found in great abundance at a fortresslike factory in occupied Norway. Allied hopes of stalling the Nazi nuclear program soon focused on sabotaging the cliffside plant—a suicidal mission. But a team of brave Norwegian exiles, trained in Britain, infiltrated their homeland and, hiding in the wilds, awaited the opportunity to launch one of the war's most daring commando raids. Basing his gripping narrative in large part on interviews with the commandos themselves, Thomas Gallagher recounts in vivid detail the planning and execution of Operation Gunnerside. Assault in Norway recalls the intrigue found in such wartime classics as David Howarth's We Die Alone and The Sledge Patrol, and the mission it recounts inspired the 1965 Hollywood film The Heroes of Telemark.

Download or read book Glozel written by Alice Gerard and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alice Gerard has crossed the Atlantic a dozen times in the last ten years in her efforts to help solve the mystery of the controversial French site of Glozel, which has been called the "Dreyfus Affair" of archaeology. Accusations of fraud made by members of the archaeological establishment have contributed to the stormy history of the site during the last 80 years. Glozel describes the exhaustive attempts Alice and her husband have made, working with other researchers, to understand the tombs, the tablets covered with unknown writing, the bones engraved with reindeer, and the phallic idols found at the site. In the process the Gerards made and lost good friends, became informed about a number of esoteric subjects, and finally developed a theory that might explain Glozel. The story is not finished; they hope the site will be recognized as authentic while Emile Fradin, who discovered the first artifacts in 1924, is still alive.

Book Synopsis Reclaiming the Forest by : Åshild Kolås
Download or read book Reclaiming the Forest written by Åshild Kolås and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reindeer herders of Aoluguya, China, are a group of former hunters who today see themselves as “keepers of reindeer” as they engage in ethnic tourism and exchange experiences with their Ewenki neighbors in Russian Siberia. Though to some their future seems problematic, this book focuses on the present, challenging the pessimistic outlook, reviewing current issues, and describing the efforts of the Ewenki to reclaim their forest lifestyle and develop new forest livelihoods. Both academic and literary contributions balance the volume written by authors who are either indigenous to the region or have carried out fieldwork among the Aoluguya Ewenki since the late 1990s.
Book Synopsis Dreaming of Animals by : Valerie Harms
Download or read book Dreaming of Animals written by Valerie Harms and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the links between the "inner" world of our imagination, emotions, and thoughts and the "outer" world where we encounter animals? Can it be that the psychological and ecological are one and the same? This book shows how their convergence might alter our perception of "community." Currently the connection between people and animals appears dysfunctional because of the accelerated loss of species. Since we will not save what we do not love, this book seeks to restore the honor and importance of animals. Dreams, including daydreams (thoughts, ideas, cultural myths) and sleep dreams, have positive and negative consequences in the world. In order to help heal ourselves and the Earth, this book dives deeply into the lives of many animals, documents our relationship to them over time, and shows how to work with dreams and dialogues. A great emotion, transforming in effect, is released when we take the beauty and power of dream animals to heart.
Book Synopsis Mammals of Ungava and Labrador by : Scott A. Heyes
Download or read book Mammals of Ungava and Labrador written by Scott A. Heyes and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1882 the Smithsonian Institution Arctic scientist, Lucien McShan Turner, traveled to the Ungava District that encompasses Northern Quebec and Labrador. There he spent 20 months as part of a mission to record meteorological data for an International Polar Year research program. While stationed at the Hudson's Bay Company Trading Post of Fort Chimo in Ungava Bay, now the Inuit community of Kuujjuaq, he soon tired of his primary task and expanded his duties to a study of the natural history and ethnography of the Aboriginal peoples of the region. His ethnography of the Inuit and Innu people was published in 1894, but his substantial writings on natural history never made it to print. Presented here for the first time is the natural history material that Lucien M. Turner wrote on mammals of the Ungava and Labrador regions. His writings provide a glimpse of the habits and types of mammals that roamed Ungava 125 years ago in what was an unknown frontier to non-Inuit and non-Innu people.
