Book Description
Attention Readers: New Edition of the Original Publication by Highland Press - New Cover with Original Content Here What does a woman do when she finds herself and her children stranded alone in the wilderness, on the side of a mountain with winter looming? Jessica Maxwell finds out just how uncertain life can be when her husband leads them away from the wagon train in search of gold. Then he dies in the Rocky Mountains after destroying their wagon while trying to get through a treacherous pass. A Lakota Sioux Warrior appears at her campsite, offering help. Once past her initial fear of him, she grudgingly accepts, recognizing she needs his assistance to survive. What does a reclusive Lakota Warrior do when he is obliged to give aid to those he dislikes? Swift Eagle, guided by nightly visions, travels until he comes upon the family that his dream has shown him. Reasoning that the family will die without his help, he accustoms himself to the idea of contact with these white intruders into his land. A man who seeks solitude, the Lakota resists caring about the white family, but fails entirely in face of their need. The white woman's proud bearing, courageous spirit and underlying gentleness seep into his heart, no matter that he resists.

Fallen Leaves
Author: Will Durant
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476771561
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 3
Book Description
Praised as a “revelatory” book by The Wall Street Journal, this is the last and most personal work of Pulitzer Prize–winning author and historian Will Durant, discovered thirty-two years after his death. The culmination of Will Durant’s sixty-plus years spent researching the philosophies, religions, arts, sciences, and civilizations from across the world, Fallen Leaves is the distilled wisdom of one of the world’s greatest minds, a man with a renowned talent for rendering the insights of the past accessible. Over the course of Durant’s career he received numerous letters from “curious readers who have challenged me to speak my mind on the timeless questions of human life and fate.” With Fallen Leaves, his final book, he at last accepted their challenge. In twenty-two short chapters, Durant addresses everything from youth and old age to religion, morals, sex, war, politics, and art. Fallen Leaves is “a thought-provoking array of opinions” (Publishers Weekly), offering elegant prose, deep insights, and Durant’s revealing conclusions about the perennial problems and greatest joys we face as a species. In Durant’s singular voice, here is a message of insight for everyone who has ever sought meaning in life or the counsel of a learned friend while navigating life’s journey.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 226

In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards.

Gardens of the Moon
Author: Steven Erikson
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1429926589
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 498
Book Description
Vast legions of gods, mages, humans, dragons and all manner of creatures play out the fate of the Malazan Empire in this first book in a major epic fantasy series from Steven Erikson. The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting and bloody confrontations with the formidable Anomander Rake and his Tiste Andii, ancient and implacable sorcerers. Even the imperial legions, long inured to the bloodshed, yearn for some respite. Yet Empress Laseen's rule remains absolute, enforced by her dread Claw assassins. For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his squad of Bridgeburners, and for Tattersail, surviving cadre mage of the Second Legion, the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the many dead. But Darujhistan, last of the Free Cities of Genabackis, yet holds out. It is to this ancient citadel that Laseen turns her predatory gaze. However, it would appear that the Empire is not alone in this great game. Sinister, shadowbound forces are gathering as the gods themselves prepare to play their hand... Conceived and written on a panoramic scale, Gardens of the Moon is epic fantasy of the highest order--an enthralling adventure by an outstanding new voice. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
