Book Description
The Echoes of the Past Will Build the Future The Red Tipped Mountains have been shrouded in myth and mystery for centuries. No one dares venture up them—until now. The Council has deemed Thea the only one capable of tracking down the last tablet needed to complete the Wild Hunt spell, and it just so happens to be deep in the alps. She will have to rely on herself and her teammates—some familiar, some not—as she navigates through unknown territory. Ambushes, predators that deceive, monsters that devour, and the unrelenting cold are but a taste of what the mountains have in store for her. She will come face-to-face with beings as old as time, truths long buried, and above everything else: dragons. Will she make it back in time for the Wild Hunt spell, or will the mountains—and all that is lurking within them—swallow her whole? Meanwhile, vengeful blood mages are colluding in the shadows with ferals, and war is about to befall the city. One spell may turn the tide, but Thea will first have to face the cold reality of what happened the night of the Blood Moon Festival. She will need all of her wit, resolve, and determination to see this mission through. A mission that could very well be her last.

Book Description
"In this innovative work, Ming Dong Gu examines Chinese literature and traditional Chinese criticism to construct a distinctly Chinese theory of fiction and places it within the context of international fiction theory. He argues that because Chinese fiction, or xiaoshuo, was produced in a tradition very different from that of the West, it has formed a system of fiction theory that cannot be adequately accounted for by Western fiction theory grounded in mimesis and realism."--BOOK JACKET.

Beijing - A Concise History
Author: Stephen G. Haw
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134150326
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
Stephen Haw sets out the history of the city of Beijing, charting the course of its development from its early roots before 2000 BC to its contemporary position as capital of the People’s Republic of China. Stephen Haw, a well-established author on China, outlines the establishment of the earliest cities in the years before 1000 BC, its status as regional capital during most of the long Zhou dynasty, and its emergence as capital of the whole of China after the conquest of the Mongol invaders under Chenghiz Khan and his successors. He considers the city’s assumption of its modern name ‘Beijing’ under the Ming dynasty, conquest by the Manchus and the turbulent years of civil war that followed the collapse of the Qing dynasty in 1911, culminating in the communist revolution and Beijing’s resumption of the role of capital of China in 1949. Overall, Stephen Haw gives an impressive account of the long and fascinating history of a city that is growing in prominence as an urban centre of global significance.
