Book Description
The story behind D-Day begins in 1939 when Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, attacked Poland and ignited World War Two. The following year, the Germans occupied France and Western Europe and launched a vicious air war against Britain. In 1941, they invaded the Soviet Union. Seemingly unstoppable, the Nazis now held virtually all of Europe. They imposed a ruthless system of control and unleashed the horror of the Holocaust. However, by 1943, the tide had begun to turn in favor of the Allies, the forces opposed to Germany. In the east, despite huge losses, the Soviets began to force the Germans back.

A children's book packed with action and adventure, magic and fantasy, perfect for middle-grade children (boys and girls) and teens of 9-12, and 11-14.

Why is he following Arthur and his friends? And who is the new teacher who's arrived at school? Arthur and his friends find themselves sucked into an epic world of magic, mystery and danger. A world where people travel through time, animals take control, and rivals are willing to resort to murder. Myth and legend, fantasy and adventure have never seemed so real, or so dangerous. Excalibur is waiting. THE GOLDEN SWORD is the first in this epic fantasy series.It's Arthurian, but not as you know it.Finalist in the 2014 Wishing Shelf Independent Book Awards;2015 IndieBRAG Medallion honouree;Nominated for the 2015 Holyer an Gof Awards. 'This novel has the type of cross age-appeal as say, Harry Potter or Percy Jackson. Kids will love it, but so will the adults!'Indie Book Reviews. A thrilling mystery and fantasy book with action & adventure. Ideal for boys and girls and teenagers aged 10 to 14. The second and third in THE CAMELOT INHERITANCE series have now been released: THE TIME SMUGGLERS and MERLIN'S VOW continue the story of Arthur's quest - and the story of four teenagers, some ancient knights ... and a dragon (a very tiny one), pitted against time-defying enemies. Camelot is calling. A SNAPSHOT INTO ROSIE'S LIFE When I was about 10 -14 years old, I loved reading action & adventure stories and mysteries filled with magic. I used to haunt our local library, borrowing anything with a vaguely magical theme. It had to be well-written with a gripping story, action-filled and a page-turner. (My all-time favourite author? C.S.Lewis.) So the seeds were sown. One day I'd write books for children too! The next question: So is this book for boys or girls? The answer: For both! Boys and girls between the ages of 10-14, teens and preteens, have read and loved it; although lots of adults are enjoying it too! If you love a fast-paced fantasy, then THE CAMELOT INHERITANCE series could be right for you. I'd be absolutely delighted (and honoured) if you like it enough to leave a review.

Girls with Swords
Author: Lisa Bevere
Publisher: WaterBrook
ISBN: 0307457826
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
A passionate call for Christian women to effectively "wield the sword" of their God-given feminine strength against any evil that threatens them and those they love. What if you discovered you have been entrusted with an invisible, invincible, and incorruptible weapon? Would you use it? In a day of worldwide trafficking, gendercide, discrimination, and other hostility against women, Lisa Bevere points to a biblical foundation to present a model of feminine strength that will empower women to live confidently. Drawing on the many references to swords throughout Scripture, the author constructs a revealing and compelling female paradigm that will impact every area of a woman's self identity, spiritual awareness, relationships, and life vision and mission. Long known for her passionate and articulate expression of biblical womanhood, Bevere presents fresh imagery--as enticing and strong as polished steel--to prepare women boldly for the challenges they face in today's world. It's not enough to just be wise and strong: Now a woman must know how to wield her sword. Creatively forging the imagery of swords, the Word of God, and the Cross, Girls with Swords will teach you: • How to speak the language of heaven on earth • What it means to intercede • What it means to carry your cross • What it means to be discerning • How to disarm the enemy • Why women are the enemy’s target—and why God needs them to be heroes It’s time to take up your sword and be a hero.

Mycenaean Greece and the Aegean World
Author: Margaretha Kramer-Hajos
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 131679072X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
In this book, Kramer-Hajos examines the Euboean Gulf region in Central Greece to explain its flourishing during the post-palatial period. Providing a social and political history of the region in the Late Bronze Age, she focuses on the interactions between this 'provincial' coastal area and the core areas where the Mycenaean palaces were located. Drawing on network and agency theory, two current and highly effective methodologies in prehistoric Mediterranean archaeology, Kramer-Hajos argues that the Euboean Gulf region thrived when it was part of a decentralized coastal and maritime network, and declined when it was incorporated in a highly centralized mainland-looking network. Her research and analysis contributes new insights to our understanding of the mechanics and complexity of the Bronze Age Aegean collapse.
