On her wedding day, Caroline receives an unexpected gift. An uninvited guest delivers a deed to Heart Island, its gardens and castles. Rodger, Caroline's husband of less than one hour, depends on his police instincts and special training to protect his wife, as they change honeymoon destinations. Following a tour guide through the castle, Caroline recognizes her own facial structures in a family photo. Under a greenhouse, in an earthen womb, a sundial is discovered. The orphanage Caroline was adopted from provided a locket, which she always wears near her heart. When the sundial reveals itself as a time-travel machine, built by her father, the locket is the key to changing the time and events. The terrorist Caszone, from THE WEAVERS, keeps his appointment arranged by FBI agents and hero-husband Rodger Calvert. Terrorists will not allow rumors about the island to trouble them.

Book Description
Lost in the dusty Inca ruins of Peru at age 6, tattooed by head-hunters in the jungles of Borneo at age 12, luxuriated lasciviously and flirted with pro-Castro revolutionaries in a corrupt pre-Castro Havana, wrestled a Bengal tiger, lived beneath the iron curtain's shadow in occupied Trieste, witnessed the astounding mid-hurricane Atlantic rescue of hundreds of passengers and sailors from a burning ship. An atypical upbringing meant atypical experiences. Stephen Baldwin's ordinary world involved living with very rich and very famous relatives and friends, including Adlai Stevenson, Richard Nixon, and the Washington Post's Phil and Kaye Graham. He explored virtually unknown temples in Angkor and Rangoon, routinely crisscrossed oceans in luxury liners that fully lived up to their promise, ran with the bulls in Pamplona when he was 20, was instrumental in saving thousands clinging to life after a cataclysmic tidal wave and cyclone in Bangladesh, then in setting up an underground railway for Bengali leaders escaping from Pakistani genocide, finally escaping to carry that story to the outside world. It is true that there are few undiscovered wildernesses today. Transportation and communication advances have blazingly brought everything close to us, but in that process nearly everything has been rendered commonplace. Yet much of the world was neither close nor common a mere 60 years ago, and Stephen had a front row seat to the spectacle-sometimes getting too close to the fire. Shadows Over Sundials chronicles the astonishing adventures of a Foreign Service brat who later worked in poor countries for The Ford Foundation, Population Council, and United Nations, spearheading international development, then went on to tackle seemingly intractable problems in inner-city education, first as a New York City Teaching Fellow in a failing South Bronx elementary school, finally as Board Chair of a charter school he helped establish there to do it better. Mr. Baldwin is married to Barbara Radloff, has five children, and lives in New York City and Redding, Connecticut.

Book Description
In Modernism, Romance and the Fin de Siècle Nicholas Daly explores the popular fiction of the 'romance revival' of the late Victorian and Edwardian years, focusing on the work of such authors as Bram Stoker, H. Rider Haggard and Arthur Conan Doyle. Rather than treating these stories as Victorian Gothic, Daly locates them as part of a 'popular modernism'. Drawing on work in cultural studies, this book argues that the vampires, mummies and treasure hunts of these adventure narratives provided a form of narrative theory of cultural change, at a time when Britain was trying to accommodate the 'new imperialism', the rise of professionalism, and the expansion of consumerist culture. Daly's wide-ranging study argues that the presence of a genre such as romance within modernism should force a questioning of the usual distinction between high and popular culture.

Book Description
Talbert investigates miniature sundials which can be adjusted for the owner's whereabouts. They incorporate a list of locations and latitudes for ready reference, data that offers insight into Romans' worldviews. To some perhaps, these sundials were primarily symbols of scientific awareness as well as imperial mastery of time and space.

Book Description
Brought to light after centuries buried in profound silence, The Advice of Dreams is the story--told here for the first time--of Tynan and the Caledonians, people unremembered by history, and their ardent struggle for life, meaning, freedom, and happiness. Amidst a violent clash of cultures, Tynan is torn from his rural life and flung into the shifting crosscurrents of his generation. Challenged by deeply ingrained personal and social barriers, caught in a maelstrom of political intrigue, swept up in a vast armed confrontation; he becomes an unlikely key in the desperate struggle for his homeland; and a broad kingdom fought over by two ancient enemies. Set in an era roiled by war, revolution, and the conflict of ideas; told in the vivid detail of a contemporary eyewitness; and rendered in remarkable imagery, The Advice of Dreams evokes a world and its people, telling a tale that will fascinate those who respond to the romance of the past. A story from a time and place long vanished, The Advice of Dreams resonates with the valor of the human spirit and speaks of those who fought for something worth fighting for.
