Book Description
The greatest dark wizard, long thought dead, has risen anew; in his wake marches the vast army of the Feral Brood. None could have foreseen the total evil set to descend upon Darkin. A long age of peace has left the land devoid of heroes. Slavery has taken hold of the world's commerce. All hope rests in the rebellious spirit of one slave. Alien bloodlust besieges Adacon late one night-an impulse drives him to murder his guards and set out to find and kill his oppressers. Escaping into wilds unknown, he realizes the great peril awaiting him. A strange hermit appears from under a sand dune, claiming to know "magic." He believes that if they work together, they can build a band of warriors powerful enough to change the fate of the world. Can they find any still harboring valor and chivalry in their hearts?-or will their quest be for nought, ending in the ruin of the world?

Book Description
Perfect for fans of Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake or Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, this riveting novel set in a postapocalyptic America brings us a chilling look at survival in the face of a catastrophic climate disaster and the collapse of civilization as we know it. The rain began nineteen years ago, and it never stopped: more than a foot of rain per day until almost the whole of North America was underwater. Those who survived the first year were forced to take drastic measures, and those who held to the veneer of civilization were few and very far between. Seventeen-year-old Tanner grew up after the rain began. She and her adoptive caretaker, Russell, have long sought a fabled Colorado refuge, a dream that has kept them going through years of brutal trials as they try to stay one step ahead of the “face eaters”—people addicted to a mysterious drug that drives them to murder and cannibalism. When the rain began, Rook Wallace was a meteorologist who joined a company called Yasper that, years after its emergency funding dried up, continues its stated mission to help survivors by maintaining a trade network among isolated island communities. But when Rook learns the insidious truth of what keeps the Yasper mission going, he is forced to risk everything that remains of his former life to try to stop it. As Tanner’s and Rook’s stories converge in time and geography, readers will be thrilled by this literary postapocalyptic tale for fans of Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven and Josh Malerman’s Bird Box.

Book Description
While this book is basically a novel chronicling the life of Jesus's so-called lost years, it contains many truths that have long been forgotten or seriously ignored. However, a great deal has already been written about His life in sources other than Christian. It must be stressed that the master Jesus is revered by most religions and has joined the ranks of the ten Celestial Avatars, who have come to assist mankind throughout history: e.g., Malseini, Rama, Krishan, and now Kalki, in His triple incarnations as Sai. It was from these "other" that I have sourced a great deal of my research for this book. Down through the ages, it has been repeated that the Jews crucified Jesus. I dispute this, as Jesus never had reason to feel in any danger from His own people—the Jewish people. He was a Jew and not a Gentile. Neither was He a Nazarene, for that is a name given to one not of the Jewish faith, or one who had converted from Judaism, and not taken to be from a place called Nazareth. The danger came from the Roman authority of the time and their fellow travelers—wealthy Jewish merchants—for the latter had protection under the Roman/Jewish treaty. That treaty also allowed for the Romans to put on trial and execute criminals on behalf of the Jews, for Jews were not allowed, by their own laws, to perform the act of killing except in the form of sacrificial animal slaughter as offerings to their God. The Jewish people became the scapegoats for centuries to come by those who chose to sidestep the responsibilities for their actions and blame others. The truth is that the Romans exercised a brutal regime throughout the Middle East. But it was when Jesus overturned the tables of trade and banking, which were being practiced within the confines of the temple in Jerusalem, that His fate was sealed. While Jesus is known today by that name. He was called by different names at different times and cultures—e.g., Yessu, Yusa Asaph, ISha Natha, Issa or Isa in Tibet. Asaph denotes that He healed lepers. At birth, He was Immanuel, later Joshua. In Aramaic as Jesu, in Urdu as Yusu, to the Greeks as Iesous, and the Romans as Iesus. I chose to call Him Yeshus, the Help of Yahveh.

Book Description
Public relations as described in this volume is, among other things, society’s solution to problems of maladjustment that plague an overcomplex world. All of us, individuals or organizations, depend for survival and growth on adjustment to our publics. Publicist Edward L. Bernays offers here the kind of advice individuals and a variety of organizations sought from him on a professional basis during more than four decades. With such knowledge, every intelligent person can carry on his or her activities more effectively. This book provides know-why as well know-how. Bernays explains the underlying philosophy of public relations and the PR methods and practices to be applied in specific cases. He presents broad approaches and solutions as they were successfully carried out in his long professional career. Public relations is not publicity, press agentry, promotion, advertising, or a bag of tricks, but a continuing process of social integration. It is a field of adjusting private and public interest. Everyone engaged in any public activity, and every student of human behavior and society, will find in this book a challenge and opportunity to further both the public interest and their own interest.
