Book Description
Our coasts are large, vast wildernesses that witness the mystical pageantry of life. They have given us monsters and myths, they are fathoms deep and full of whispers, home to unknown creatures and sprawling ecosystems. They are chasms of beauty and frontiers of possibility. From the space between land and sea, revealed only at low tide, comes a coruscating kaleidoscope of colours and brilliance: the intertidal zone. And the marine lifeforms of these zones are capable of superpowers. Yes, superpowers! Of the kind that comic book characters can only dream of. The Indian coastline hosts some magnificent intertidal species: solar-powered slugs, escape artist octopuses, venomous jellies, harpooning conus sea snails, to name just a few. It is as biodiverse as a forest wildlife safari, and twice as secretive. From bioluminescence and advanced sonic capabilities to camouflage and shapeshifting, these cloaked assassins are capable of otherworldly skill. Superpowers on the Shore by Sejal Mehta is a dazzling, assured look at some of the creatures with whom we share our world, our water, our monsoons, our beaches and the sandcastles therein. Come witness the magic of our intertidal superheroes, their fragile beauty and their iridescent drama. Put on your waterproof shoes, pack a bottle of whimsy, bring your sense of wonder. And prepare to be mesmerized

Book Description
Arthur turned and strode toward us. He was magnificent, and I will never forget that, in that moment, I first loved him. And I believe--had I known what the future held for us: all the trouble, torment, battle, and grief of our lives--I still believe that I would have yielded my heart into his keeping as I did then . . . In a sweeping epic of the imagination, Alice Borchardt enters the wondrous realm of Arthurian legend and makes it her own. The Dragon Queen is the first volume in a trilogy of novels that boldly re-imagines Camelot--and casts Guinevere as a shrewd, strong-willed, magical warrior queen. Born into a world of terrible strife, where war is constant and weapons are never far from the hands of men or women, Guinevere, daughter of a mighty pagan queen, is a threat to her people and a prize to the dreaded sorcerer Merlin. Sent into hiding, she grows up under the protection of a shapeshifting man-wolf and an ornery Druid. But even on the remote coast of Scotland, where dragons feed and watch over her, she is not safe from the all-seeing High Druid Merlin. He knows the young beauty's destiny, and he will stop at nothing to prevent what has been foretold. For if Guinevere becomes Queen and Arthur, King, they will bring a peace to the land that will leave the power-hungry Merlin a shriveled magician in a weary cloak. Yet Guinevere possesses power of her own--dazzling power to rival even that of Merlin. Summoned from her home by forces she cannot fathom, she travels from the Underworld to an Otherworld of the Past, at each step calling on ancient powers to aid her way. When young Guinevere proves her mettle to an embarrassed Merlin, even her faithful dragon protectors cannot prevent the evil that the sorcerer rains down. Seeking revenge, Merlin banishes Arthur to a world from which the only escape is death. Now Guinevere must face Merlin's wrath without him--and prove that she is worthy of being Arthur's Queen. From the glass-roofed Great Hall at Tintigal to the lush garden forts of Wales, Alice Borchardt details the travels of Guinevere in a rich fabric of prose. The Dragon Queen is a novel of great emotional depth, timeless romance, and soul-stirring adventure.

Book Description
These essays offer scholars, teachers, and students a new basis for discussing attitudes toward, and technological expertise concerning, water in antiquity through the early Modern period, and they examine historical water use and ideology both diachronically and cross regionally. Topics include gender roles and water usage; attitudes, practices, and innovations in baths and bathing; water and the formation of identity and policy; ancient and medieval water sources and resources; and religious and literary water imagery. The authors describe how ideas about the nature and function of water created and shaped social relationships, and how religion, politics, and science transformed, and were themselves transformed by, the manipulation of, uses of, and disputes over water in daily life, ceremonies, and literature. Contributors are Rabun Taylor, Sandra Lucore, Robert F. Sutton, Jr., Cynthia K Kosso, Kevin Lawton, Evy Johanne HA land, HA(c)lA]ne Cazes, Alexandra Cuffel, Mark Munn, Brenda Longfellow, Gretchen Meyers, Sara Saba, Scott John McDonough, Etienne Dunant, E.

Book Description
Princess Kumithra has lived a life of lies and awakens believing the day of her fairytale wedding has arrived. She is ready to marry her savior and hero Rarailmuir. Who saved her heroically in her youth and became the champion who stole her heart and slain a dragon. All goes well aside from the amusements of those nearest to her. She was going to have her fantasy fulfilled never aware of the problems of her kingdom. Suddenly darkness covers the island kingdom of Yoranthium and a legend of epic proportions unfolds. As the sky, land, and waters become a battleground of the heavenly cosmos and the deep dark hellish abyss in the seas of the world of Ishormot. Time falls to the wayside as temporal incursions caused by technology, mages, magics, demon witches, and spirits, have erased and changed kingdoms overnight. Plans of demons and cosmic horrors unfold and lives are lost in terrible tragedy. The once admired and mighty tropical idyllic kingdom of Yoranthium falls. The last light and bastion a beacon of hope and peace. The last hope for refugees fleeing oppression and wars caused by the nightmare of a cruel and evil world. A world that has been corrupted and falling into darkness. All Hope is Lost as many lives are lost and this story has just begun. Yoranthium Book One: Lost Hope is only the beginning of the series and a fast paced novel. There are other titles in this slated twenty book series as it's not just a world it moves beyond just some kingdoms that are explored. Aspects like Heaven, the deep dark abyss, an epic conflict of Angels and Demons unfold and mystical creatures such as Dragons, Mechanations, Yagrallmagrunds, Riarcks, Archangels, Eight Demons and the One Evil, of their God to be born, Impundalu, Altered Faefolken, Faefolken of the Dawn, and the vulnerable Elfaefolken get explored. How nature has a plan to deal with corruption and heal not only the world of Ishormot but other worlds in the Cosmos. A cosmic tale that ponders ideas of fancy on the meaning of space exploration. Delving into the very nature of the soul and DNA. Touching upon modern political spectrum. Time falls to the wayside and the Past Future interacts via Incursions with the Future Past. This series explores a wide range of thoughts and ideas in philosophy, ethics, morals, theology, mythology, Gothic Horror, including the yucky stuff (Romance) and so much more. All carefully in guise as stories and simple tales of an ever expanding world that is astonishing. A soft yet ridged Magics system that is comparable to Technology and Science with of course mumbo jumbo Mystical powers and lore. As Love and Hart is at the core of the only real power our hero's have against overwhelming odds of survival. I the Author have spent a life time in research and development for this epic tale. Traveling the world, always reading and learning and had lived in Japan and getting parking tickets in Perth. Just to pursue my need to study the world and visit museums and historical sights around the globe. It's about time I write this incredible story of Fantasy based on reality. It reads Fiction but if you see beyond the words you will find a deeper meaning in a simple story. Yoranthium could be considered a world healing book of our time.
