Book Description
When a bizarre magnetic shift turns ordinary talents into extraordinary magic, a team of allies bands together to protect themselves. But are these Unhidden capable of saving themselves from genocide? Anna Taylor thought she was just a good swimmer… until she starts growing scales and working water magic. Forced to flee an angry mob, she seeks sanctuary in a rural Ireland safehouse that offers less protection than she’d hoped, and she’s thrown headfirst into a perilous mission to defuse an explosive threat. To overcome the danger, Anna teams with a group of six unlikely allies. Max, a war-torn Vietnam vet with the power to command winds. Bintou, a linguistic genius who can decipher any language. Hiroki, a persuasive mastermind from Tokyo. Qacha, a fire-wielding chef. And Nokomis, a grandmother who can make any plant grow. The only thing they’ve got in common is the enemy. They’re not perfect. Still, they’ve got each other’s backs. Probably. They’ll have to keep their eye on Max. When a consortium of xenophobic zealots declares open season on their kind, Anna and her ragtag squad must combine their powers to avert their own extinction. If this unlikely team of misfits fails, more than their lives will be in danger. It could lead to the annihilation of all the Unhidden. Can Anna and her mostly merry band divert the tide of chaos and death hurtling toward them? Taming of the Few is the first installment of the Guardians of PHAE trilogy. Brace yourself for snarky banter, fantastic world-building, and heart-pounding tension that will keep you up all night. Start reading Taming of the Few to prepare to defend destiny like a badass! Trigger warnings: violence, war, PTSD, plague, profanity

Shark Trouble
Author: Peter Benchley
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 1588362078
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
Drawing on more than three decades of experience writing about sharks and other marine animals, the bestselling author of Jaws combines high adventure with practical information in a book that is at once a thriller and a valuable guide to being safe in, on, under, and around the sea. “Shark attacks on human beings generate a tremendous amount of media coverage,” Benchley writes, “partly because they occur so rarely, but mostly, I think, because people are, and always have been, simultaneously intrigued and terrified by sharks. Sharks come from a wing of the dark castle where our nightmares live—deep water beyond our sight and understanding—and so they stimulate our fears and fantasies and imaginations.” Benchley describes the many types of sharks (including the ones that pose a genuine threat to man), what is and isn’t known about shark behavior, the odds against an attack and how to reduce them even further—all reinforced with the lessons he has learned, the mistakes he has made, and the personal perils he has encountered while producing television documentaries, bestselling novels, and articles about the sea and its inhabitants. He tells how to swim safely in the ocean, how to read the tides and currents, what behavior to avoid, and how to survive when danger suddenly strikes. He discusses how to tell children about sharks and the sea and how to develop, in young and old alike, a healthy respect for the ocean. As Benchley says, “The ocean is the only alien and potentially hostile environment on the planet into which we tend to venture without thinking about the animals that live there, how they behave, how they support themselves, and how they perceive us. I know of no one who would set off into the jungles of Malaysia armed only with a bathing suit, a tube of suntan cream, and a book, and yet that’s precisely how we approach the oceans.” No longer. Not after you’ve read Shark Trouble.

Consumer Credit in the United States
Author: D. Marron
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230101518
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
It is commonly imagined that in recent years the rampant growth of consumer credit has lured American consumers into a crippling state of indebtedness, a state that has upended old cultural values of Puritan thrift and stimulated a frenzy of consumption. Drawing on the sociological concept of government and informed by a historical perspective, Marron presents a much more complex and nuanced reality. From its early antecedents in nineteenth century salary lending and instalment selling, she shows how the emergence and growth of consumer credit in the United States have always been subject to shifting regimes of control and regulation.
