Book Description
The saga continues . . . Once again, our small group of Jook and the humans they are protecting within the walls of the compound face peril from the ever-rising population of Ruv Bengalo. Adding to the unshakable danger, Shandor discovers an imprisoned Jook in Black Jack’s lair who is near death. He must coordinate an immediate rescue attempt though he is outnumbered in hostile territory. Meanwhile, back on the compound, as the wolfsbane continues to grow, Susannah feels threatened by Fifika’s secret knowledge of an ancient potion made from the flowers of the poisonous plants. If survived by the drinker, the potion assures that they can be bitten by a werewolf and be “turned.” There hasn’t been a successful turn in centuries; attempts result in horrific death. The young bloodline’s terror at the thought of feeding a human being the deadly botanicals is compounded by her suspicion that Giselle will volunteer to be the guinea pig. Susannah fears her friend’s life will slip through her fingers. It is high summer, and soon the wolfsbane will bloom.

Book Description
Robert howled again, and this time a single voice replied. Long, haunting sounds, beautifully modulated. They chilled Jo. Seconds later came a more distant wailing chorus. "We've got company," Robert said. "Two different groups." All three raised their binoculars. "There" said Jo, pointing. When Dr. Jo Settle, a Michigan Tech University biology professor, becomes involved with PhD student Robert Peterson, she is unaware of his scheme to steal and relocate two packs of wolves from Wisconsin to a wilderness area in West Virginia. But events quickly spin out of control, thrusting Jo from the placid groves of academe into a terrifying battle of wits and weaponry in the Appalachian coal country. Jo's brother Cal, a Civil War park docent recovering from failure in both his marriage and the dot-com bubble, tries to help his sister navigate the treacherous dilemma with Robert. Jo's mentor, Theo Rosenbloom, head of Tech's biology department, and Robert's lifelong friend Hassan, a second-generation Arab American, also become caught up in Robert's intrigue. Home Range combines a page-turning crime novel with a sober environmental sensitivity. Driving the plot are issues from today's news: What does it mean to be an immigrant in America? In fact, who is a native and who is an American? Do we have a duty to protect native species and our environment? And what do we lose for ourselves and our descendants if we don't?

And I will not have you think other vice!” Unable to hide her anger, she leans back in the chair with her arms on her armrests, but what should look relaxed was revealed by her hands, she held on so tightly that her knots were completely white. “What is wrong whit me taking over a seat, that no one sits in?” I sit back down. “The seat you are trying to take over was my mother's, and I'd rather die than see a woman like you sit in it!” she looks at me mockingly, "Are you sure?" she mocks me with laughter in her voice "You'd rather see a young half-witch in your mother's place than me?"

The Wolf

Publisher: Boydell & Brewer
ISBN: 1837650152
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 435
Book Description
New insights into the changing human attitudes towards wild nature through the depiction of wolves in human culture and heritage. Few animals arouse such strong opinion as the wolf. It occupies a contested, ambiguous, yet central role in human culture and heritage. It appears as both an inspirational emblem of the wild and an embodiment of evil. Offering a mirror to different human attitudes, beliefs, and values, the wolf is, arguably, the species that plays the greatest role in shaping our views on what nature is or should be. North America and, more recently, Europe have witnessed a remarkable return of the grey wolf (Canis lupus, and its close relative the Eurasian wolf, Canis lupus lupus) to eco-systems. The essays collected here explore aspects of this recovery, and consider the history, literature and myth surrounding this iconic species. There are chapters on wolf taxonomy, including the coywolf, the red wolf, and the many faces of the dingo. We also meet the Tasmanian wolf and encounter Nazi Werewolves from Outer Space. The book explores the challenges of separating fact from fiction and superstition, and our willingness to co-exist with large carnivores in the twenty-first century. Biologists, historians, anthropologists, cultural theorists, conservationists and museologists will all find riches in the detail presented in this wolf collection.

The American Discovery of the Norse
Author: Erik Ingvar Thurin
Publisher: Bucknell University Press
ISBN: 9780838754122
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
"The interest of a group of American writers in the Norse (Viking Age Scandinavians) began to develop in the late 1830s, reaching its high point at mid-century and tapering off after the Civil War as the members of the group neared the end of their careers (only one of the authors discussed, Julia Clinton Jones, joins the club at the end of the period)." "This period, defined as the original phase of the American discovery of the Norse, features two essayists, Emerson and Thoreau, who refer to the Norse in writing on a variety of topics. Fiction is represented by Melville alone (American writers of fiction like Stowe and Hawthorne shun the Norse). Neither the essayists nor Melville uses Norse themes as their primary subject. That is reserved for the poets: Lowell, Whittier, Taylor, Longfellow, and Julia Clinton Jones."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

A Poemers Poemerings

Book Description
I chose the title “A Poemers’ Poemerings” because it means (for me), that of someone to whom is always writing, about something, anything, and its odd and catchy at the same time, and it’s the main title for the series that I am writing in volumes, too many to put all into one book. I think of my poems, “all”, as individual artworks, all their own, a completeness – from start to finish, a journey, a path, a message that will inspire, mesmerize, intrigue, and take you to that deepness that hasn’t been felt or known of your own self. Allow yourself to think for out there to see what each one is telling you! Envision the poem and let yourself see the answers to your own thoughts of these pieces of artworks.
