Book Description
If Gargoyles Could Talk: Sketches of Duke University is a compilation of 71 articles written by Duke University Archivist William King about the rich and varied history of Duke University. Chronologically the articles cover the history of Duke University from the period when it was Union Institute and Trinity College in Randolph County (1838-1892) through the movement of Trinity College to Durham (1892-1924), to what is now called Duke University (1924- ). This comprehensive text covers events and topics significant to the history of Duke University and to the history of higher education. Topics covered include Duke family and campus individuals, buildings and construction, educational programs and professional schools, athletics, and other topics of general interest. The subjects are colorful and varied: a "forgotten" president; a visit by Booker T. Washington (his first to a white southern college); the origin of the Blue Devil mascot; Russian Studies at Duke; the stone setters who built the campus; student dance bands in the 1930s; the employment of German Jewish émigrés who fled Nazi Germany; the campus controversy over tobacco through the years; Richard M. Nixon; the vote by the trustees to divest of investments in South Africa; and Julian F. Abele, the African American chief designer of the firm that designed the original Georgian and Gothic University campuses. The aim of the book is to contribute new historical information discovered in the university archives and to emphasize that the modern research university is built upon its predecessor institution, Trinity College. If Gargoyles Could Talk will appeal not only to alumni and friends of Duke University but also to anyone interested in the history of the region or higher education.

Book Description
An extraordinary debut novel of love that survives the fires of hell and transcends the boundaries of time. On a burn ward, a man lies between living and dying, so disfigured that no one from his past life would even recognize him. His only comfort comes from imagining various inventive ways to end his misery. Then a woman named Marianne Engel walks into his hospital room, a wild-haired, schizophrenic sculptress on the lam from the psych ward upstairs, who insists that she knows him – that she has known him, in fact, for seven hundred years. She remembers vividly when they met, in another hospital ward at a convent in medieval Germany, when she was a nun and he was a wounded mercenary left to die. If he has forgotten this, he is not to worry: she will prove it to him. And so Marianne Engel begins to tell him their story, carving away his disbelief and slowly drawing him into the orbit and power of a word he'd never uttered: love.

Book Description
Experience the fan-favorite Broken Destiny series for the first time in one convenient collection. New York Times bestselling author Jeaniene Frost takes on you a journey where mythical secrets, otherworldly danger, and undeniable passion is just the beginning… The Beautiful Ashes Ivy has always seen things that she cannot explain. Strange things. Otherworldly things. But when her sister goes missing, Ivy discovers the truth is far worse—her hallucinations are real, and her sister is imprisoned in a realm beyond Ivy’s reach. The one person who can help her is the dangerously attractive rebel who’s bound by an ancient legacy to betray her. The Sweetest Burn Conquering a supernatural realm turned out to be easier than getting over a broken heart. But her initial victory has made Ivy a target for revenge, forcing her to reunite with the dangerous — and dangerously sexy — Adrian. Ivy isn’t sure which will be harder: finding the hallowed weapon that will repair the crumbling walls between demon and human realms, or resisting Adrian, who’s decided that come hell or high water, he will make Ivy his… The Brightest Embers Adrian’s dark lineage has made him the most powerful of his kind, yet even his incredible abilities might not be enough now. Ivy and Adrian’s scintillating bond has been tested before, but never with so much on the line. Now fate will come head-to-head against true love, and nothing they’ve endured can prepare Ivy and Adrian for the choices they’ll face… Originally published in 2014, 2017, and 2017
