Book Description
The essential history of an iconic European city, by Cambridge academic Elizabeth Drayson. 'An admirable achievement... [Drayson has] expertise as a scholar and command as a storyteller' BBC History Magazine 'A glittering homage to one of the world's most beautiful and storied cities' Dan Jones 'Beauty built on blood and brutality... A fascinating new tome' Daily Mail From the early Middle Ages to the present, foreign travellers have been bewitched by Granada's peerless beauty. The Andalusian city is also the stuff of story and legend, with an unforgettable history to match. Romans, then Visigoths, settled here, as did a community of Jews; in the eleventh century a Berber chief made Granada his capital, and from 1230 until 1492 the Nasrids – Spain's last Islamic dynasty – ruled the emirate of Granada from their fortress-palace of the Alhambra. After capturing the city to complete the Christian Reconquista, the Catholic monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella made the Alhambra the site of their royal court. In Lost Paradise, Elizabeth Drayson takes the reader on a voyage of discovery that uncovers the many-layered past of Spain's most complex and fascinating city, celebrating and exploring its evolving identity. Her account brings to the fore the image of Granada as a lost paradise, revealing it as a place of perpetual contradiction and linking it to the great dilemma over Spain's true identity as a nation. This is the story of a vanished Eden, of a place that questions and probes Spain's deep obsession with forgetting, and with erasing historical and cultural memory.

Book Description
"Brian Linn provides a treatment of military operations in the Philippines. From the pitched battles of the early war to the final campaigns against guerrillas, Linn traces the entire course of the conflict. More than an overview of Filipino resistance and American pacification, this is a detailed study of the fighting in the "boondocks."" "In addition to presenting a military history of the war, Linn challenges previous interpretations. Rather than being a clash of armies of societies, the war was a series of regional struggles that differed greatly from island to island. By shifting away from the narrow focus on one or two provinces to encompass the entire archipelago, Linn offers a more thorough understanding of the entire war."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

"You are my mate? " Allen asked. "Ye... Yes," I nodded. "No, thanks... I don't want you," His words pierced my heart like a sharply silver blade. "How can the Moon Goddess mate me with a weak thing like you, you don't have a wolf, remember?" He snarled. I’m Aria, I do not have a wolf. I was treated like a curse and a plague when my mother died because of me. The only thing that kept me going was the hope of finding my mate. But my world crumbled when I found I was mated to the future Alpha King, my worst enemy, Allen. He rejected me without a second thought, but I can not accept his rejection without a wolf. I was broken and decided to end my life, but the attempts of ending my life only started my journey of discovering myself! Years have passed, and I become strong and gorgeous, it is time for me to return to revenge on everyone that contributed to my pain! When I accept my first mate’s rejection formally, I feel a strange pull toward the golden eye Lycan Prince...
