Book Description
How did life get to be so boring? Kara Marks has a mundane career and a mundane life and wishes for a little excitement—and gets far more than she bargained for. A dark stranger begins to visit Kara in her dreams. Night after night the man returns and treats her to passion so great she is left wanting and needing every morning. The dreams are so real that she begins to wonder if she’s losing her mind. Soon she learns that not only is the mystery man of her dreams, Adan, flesh-and-blood, but he’s brought very real danger to her doorstep, danger that could mean her life. Adan Valnez is on a mission to find an important artifact before an evil force obtains it. When he meets Kara, what he locates is trouble in the form of a passionate woman. He is drawn to her nightly, and he can’t seem to hold himself back. He can’t stop thinking of her, can’t stop going to her. Even though he visits her every night, he can’t allow her to remember him when he’s not there. But when evil finds what it has been looking for—a pendant Kara has had since she was a child—everything changes. Now it’s a race to save the artifact, save a world, save Kara’s life, and to save an eternal love. Author Note: Blackstar: Future Knight is a novel that has been previously published by a small epublisher and also under the title Come to Me under the pseudonym Jaymie Holland. Romance, action, adventure, paranormal, sexy, futuristic, fantasy, Sci-Fi

The Rise & Fall of the Mounted Knight
Author: Clive Hart
Publisher: Pen and Sword History
ISBN: 1399082078
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
The medieval mounted knight was a fearsome weapon of war, captivating and horrifying in equal measure, they are a continuing source of fascination. They have been both held up as a paragon of chivalry, whilst often being condemned as oppressive and violent. Occupying a unique place in history, knights on their warhorses are an enigma hidden behind their metal armor, and seemingly unreachable on their steeds. This book seeks to understand the world of the medieval knight by studying their origins, their accomplishments and their eventual decline. Forged in the death throes of the Roman Empire, the mounted knight found a place in a harsh and dangerous world where their skills and mentality carved them into history. From the First Crusade to the fields of Scotland, knights could be found, and their human side is examined to see how these men came to both rule Europe, and ride into enduring legend. The challenges facing the mounted knight were vast and deadly, from increasingly professional and competent infantry forces to gunpowder, the rise of political unity and the crunch of finance. The factors which forced the knight into the past help to define who and what they were, as well as the legacy that they have left indelibly imprinted on the world. The standout feature of this book is the focus on the equine half of the partnership, from an author who practices the arts of horsemanship on a daily basis, including combat with sword and lance. The psychology of the horse, refined by the experience of actually training warhorses, has helped the author to add to the body of academic work on the subject. This insight opens up the world of the mounted knight, and importantly and uniquely, challenges the perception of what he and his horse could really do.

The Future of University Education
Author: Michał Izak
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319468944
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
This collected volume of essays offers glimpses of the future of university education. While universities consider the spirit of theoretical exchange and intellectual pursuit to be a defining trait of their identity, this book argues that this heritage is disappearing under the influence of the short-term demands of societies and markets. Universities used to be sites of dissent, civil courage and societal conscience, but have now instead become little more than pseudo-businesses, rendering them incapable of remaining critical or independent. However, with more people going to university every year, there is a strong resistance to the notion that the university as a collegial and critical institution is dead, among academics as well as the broader public. With contributions from scholars across the world, this edited collection explores the ramifications of marketization on universities, and provides glimpses of what higher education will look like in the future. It will be of great interest to teachers and students in higher education, as well as policy makers and those interested in the current and future state of higher education.
