Pages : 560
Book Description
One touch kills. But not at first. Even so, you may wish it had. Beyond Astura is a grand science fiction-epic fantasy reminiscent of The Wheel of Time, The Belgariad, and The Lord of the Rings series all rolled into one. In the third novel of the series, “The Flow of Power”, all sentient beings face a mind afflicting evil, a deadly foe no one could prepare for. The existence and power of the insidious, and alien, One Mind can no longer be denied as it closes in on Crystalyn Creek. She is the only being—a mere human—that has ever thwarted its raw hunger to feed on the emotions and memories stemming from brain neurons throughout its long lifespan. With her sister Jade as the unwilling host, the parasitic creature is far stronger than it ever has been. Defeating such evil without harming her sibling becomes a desperate trial of instinct and survival. With the power of the great river of magic dwindling, Crystalyn’s symbol magic is crucial against the alien’s aggression, with its horde of controlled people and a black dragon. Meanwhile, a young and untrained User of magic makes his way across the land unknowingly tied to Crystalyn’s fate. Even with their collective strength, it may not be enough for anyone to survive what came from the cold darkness of space. Whether of Dark or Light affinity, human or nonhuman, all must stand against it or succumb to a state of mind worse than death…

Book Description
This volume looks at sustainable protection and sustainable use of cultural and natural heritage, particularly in view of the current challenges of the 21st century. For more than 40 years the World Heritage Convention has regulated the protection of the cultural and natural heritage of humankind, particularly in that heritage shall be protected if it is threatened by modern development. The international community has also adopted sustainability and sustainable development, as objectives to facilitate the protection of cultural and natural heritage. Sustainable heritage protection and use must therefore be preserved in the face of the global challenges it faces and must be perceived in terms of societal, political and corresponding economic paradigms.

Walter's World
Author: K.A. Meechan
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1039141773
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
Walter is a rat of the Norway Clan, with an ancient lineage going back millions of years and across continents. When his clan settled in Halifax, Nova Scotia, hundreds of years ago, they quickly made it their home, with their burrows and lifestyle changing—evolving—right along with the city itself. With his own family of ten pups and his mate, Poppy, Walter lives beneath the historic Old Town Clock, and ventures out each night to provide them with whatever food he can scrounge up in the areas around the Harbourfront and the Public Gardens. Providing for his family is his number-one priority, which means taking care of his own safety as well as theirs. After all, if something were to happen to him, who would take care of his pups and his mate? Perhaps that’s why he’s let himself get so comfortable in the familiar area surrounding the Old Town Clock, playing it safe rather than venturing any further, looking for adventure or greener pastures. But when his cousin Ralph shows up, boasting of an endless bounty of food and opportunity to be found a little further afield—for those brave enough to go and get it—Walter starts to question his choices and what is truly best for his family. In spite of the inherent dangers, including the rumoured re-emergence of the Eurasian Clan—a long-time violent nemesis of the Norway Clan—Walter gives in to the urge to explore with his cousin, seeking adventure and new possibilities for himself and his family. But when his mate wants to get in on the fun, the danger starts to feel very real indeed. A highly entertaining, adventurous story about inclusion, empowerment, and respect, as well as the value of family and diversity, this is the perfect chapter book for young readers, age 7 to 14.
