Book Description
Fourteen generations have passed since a newborn prince was cast into the currents as a sacrifice to the sea gods. But the Lord of Creation had other plans. To save her people from extinction, Lolani Aeramiel once stole a child, brought to her by the Mermaids of the Eryn, who rescued him from certain death, and for three years protected him under a pact with the Creator Himself, until the princess was betrayed. But instead of rallying her people to revenge, Lolani abdicated the throne, but left an Heir who would unite the Creator's people under one banner. Following a brutal confrontation with her childhood nemesis, Breena Everly, town misfit, and everyone's favorite patsy is led into the ancient burial grounds of a long-forgotten people, by a voice that reveals the distant past where she discovers a terrible secret involving a lost woman everyone believes is dead. When she returns home to a storm-ravaged village, she finds that she is suspected of summoning the storms and after healing the victims of the Elemental attack that destroyed her village, she is forced to flee the only home she had ever known. Alone and on the run, Breena must determine what the Lord of Creation revealed to her in the mountain. Will she accept the truth of her heritage, or will she forge her own path?

The Middle East
Author: Gary S. Gregg
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195346750
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 471
Book Description
For over a decade the Middle East has monopolized news headlines in the West. Journalists and commentators regularly speculate that the region's turmoil may stem from the psychological momentum of its cultural traditions or of a "tribal" or "fatalistic" mentality. Yet few studies of the region's cultural psychology have provided a critical synthesis of psychological research on Middle Eastern societies. Drawing on autobiographies, literary works, ethnographic accounts, and life-history interviews, The Middle East: A Cultural Psychology, offers the first comprehensive summary of psychological writings on the region, reviewing works by psychologists, anthropologists, and sociologists that have been written in English, Arabic, and French. Rejecting stereotypical descriptions of the "Arab mind" or "Muslim mentality,' Gary Gregg adopts a life-span- development framework, examining influences on development in infancy, early childhood, late childhood, and adolescence as well as on identity formation in early and mature adulthood. He views patterns of development in the context of recent work in cultural psychology, and compares Middle Eastern patterns less with Western middle class norms than with those described for the region's neighbors: Hindu India, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Mediterranean shore of Europe. The research presented in this volume overwhelmingly suggests that the region's strife stems much less from a stubborn adherence to tradition and resistance to modernity than from widespread frustration with broken promises of modernization--with the slow and halting pace of economic progress and democratization. A sophisticated account of the Middle East's cultural psychology, The Middle East provides students, researchers, policy-makers, and all those interested in the culture and psychology of the region with invaluable insight into the lives, families, and social relationships of Middle Easterners as they struggle to reconcile the lure of Westernized life-styles with traditional values.
