Book Description
When Amelia is offered up to the Sun God as a sacrifice, she did not think she would end up trying to save the people who sacrificed her. Amelia is an outcast in her small closed community, Woodmere. Being unwed and unable to control her destructive powers makes her useless in the leader’s eyes. Still, nothing could prepare her when he drugs her and offers her up as a sacrifice to their Sun Ever. Gloom, the Forest Ever, takes his job very seriously. So, when strange symbols start appearing in both his and the humans' realm, he takes it upon himself to investigate. Finding a woman, bound and using powers he hasn't seen for over a hundred years sends him on a course he could never have imagined. Can Amelia harness her powers, and help Gloom to trust, so they can work together to find the betrayer in the city, or will this evil rise and spread and consume them all? Gloom’s Light is the first book in The Evers Saga, a young adult, fantasy romance series. With slow burn romance, long forgotten evils rising and powers emerging, these books are sure to be a favourite.

Book Description
Light pervades the world, and when it is not light, darkness emerges and is combated by electric illumination. Despite this globally shared human experience in which spaces appear radically different depending on time, season, and weather, social science investigation on the subject is meager. From Light to Dark fills this gap, focusing on our interaction with daylight, illumination, and darkness. Tim Edensor begins by examining the effects of daylight on our perception of landscape, drawing on artworks, particular landscapes, and architectural practice. He then considers the ways in which illumination is often contested and can be used to express power, looking at how capitalist, class, ethnic, military, and state power use lighting to reinforce their authority over space. Edensor also considers light artists such as Olafur Eliasson and festivals of illumination before turning a critical eye to the supposedly dangerous, sinister associations of darkness. In examining the modern city as a space of fantasy through electric illumination, he studies how we are seeking—and should seek—new forms of darkness in reaction to the perpetual glow of urban lighting. Highly original and absorbingly written, From Light to Dark analyzes a vast array of artistic interventions, diverse spaces, and lighting technologies to explore these most basic human experiences.

Book Description
Most of the poems herein dwell on light and shade, on gleam and gloom, but are also, in general, inspirational, reflecting life in a hilly countryside, its main local color. The first part of book reflects life around the Lake Nyos area just before and after the Lake Nyos explosion in August 1986. One of the main themes running through most of the poems is that which infers the light and love which ultimately grow from gloom. Gloom’s Sprout of Love, Felix Bongjoh’s eighth book of poetry take up themes of passion and compassion he has also traditionally treated in his earlier seven works, namely: (i)Chorus on a Bridge; (ii) Broken Gloss of Bliss; (iii) Nightfall at Dawn; (iv)When Dusk Hoots; (v) Weeds of Jewelry; (vi) Season of Flowers; and (vii) The Ineluctable Spin.

But when Jeda is scrutinized by the sinister Hod-ya she soon learns that she has been selected for the deadly "Scarth and Avangar" duels in Pitland.

Will Logon Xychirion intervene and send a brigade to attempt Jeda's rescue? Jeda's journey INTO THE GLOOM takes her from the emperor's dungeons through the menacing Ra-Amawl forest where an ancient evil roams, and ultimately toward the foul, depraved land of Pitland. Jeda soon discovers that evil is even more prevalent and powerful than she could have imagined. How can those who hope in goodness survive, much less overcome, wickedness?

Book Description
To English poets and writers of the seventeenth century, as to their predecessors, mountains were ugly protuberances which disfigured nature and threatened the symmetry of earth; they were symbols God’s wrath. Yet, less than two centuries later the romantic poets sang in praise of mountain splendor, of glorious heights that stirred their souls to divine ecstasy. In this very readable and fascinating study, Marjorie Hope Nicolson considers the intellectual renaissance at the close of the seventeenth century that caused the shift from mountain gloom to mountain glory. She examines various writers from the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries and traces both the causes and the process of this drastic change in perception.
