Book Description
A dying king, a favoured daughter and a secret hidden in the shadows. The Raven Queen of Rocfeld is expected to be chosen by the gods from amongst the three princesses. One is favoured by the people, one is favoured by the Silent Sisters and one is favoured by her father, but who will be favoured by the gods? The gods will mark their choice with raven hair, but as the days turn into weeks without a new queen, speculation and suspicion grows. The youngest daughter, Meg raised to put her duty first, has determined the gods will make the right decision. But Rocfeld is not what it was. The harder Meg tries to help her kingdom, the more dangerous her world becomes. Her eldest sister makes decisions as though she is already queen. Enemies hide in the shadows whispering of magic and death, and her allies may not be as they appear. If you like epic battles, vengeful gods and determined princesses, then you will love Georgina Makalani’s sword and sorcery series.

Book Description
This box set includes all five books in the Sever the Crown series from USA Today bestselling author Lindsey R. Loucks and award-winning author Mysti Parker. Prepare to get lost in a vampire reverse harem romance series that will leave you breathless and begging for more! ◆ Start with Book One: Emergence Together, they'll sever the crown - or maybe the head that wears it. Wren has a dark obsession—to find her mother's murderers before they find her. Every new singing gig brings her closer to crossing their names from her list. When a detective shows up with a new lead, she jumps at the chance with fangs bared. But to get the information they need, they'll have to bust someone out of jail. Sure. No problem. Ashe has just been framed for high crimes against the Southern Vampire Clan—but he's not exactly innocent either. While waiting for his fate, a five-pointed star tattoo appears on his wrist, similar to the tattoo of a stunning platinum-haired vampire. The sudden attraction between them is undeniable. Better yet, she's just offered to free him. Sounds like a great deal. So what's the catch? Turns out, as their enemies close in, the catch could very well be their lives. ◆ Book Two: Defiance - Everyone knows it's not a true vampire cult party until someone gets staked. ◆ Book Three: Obsession - Wren's world has caught fire. But she'll be damned if she lets it burn. ◆ Book Four: Relentless - Wren's fourth mate just might be the death of her...that is if the world doesn't end first. ◆ Book Five: Ascension - 3...2...1...It's a race against time in an epic war for the throne.

The Contested Crown
Author: Khadija von Zinnenburg Carroll
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022680223X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Following conflicting desires for an Aztec crown, this book explores the possibilities of repatriation. In The Contested Crown, Khadija von Zinnenburg Carroll meditates on the case of a spectacular feather headdress believed to have belonged to Montezuma, emperor of the Aztecs. This crown has long been the center of political and cultural power struggles, and it is one of the most contested museum claims between Europe and the Americas. Taken to Europe during the conquest of Mexico, it was placed at Ambras Castle, the Habsburg residence of the author’s ancestors, and is now in Vienna’s Welt Museum. Mexico has long requested to have it back, but the Welt Museum uses science to insist it is too fragile to travel. Both the biography of a cultural object and a history of collecting and colonizing, this book offers an artist’s perspective on the creative potentials of repatriation. Carroll compares Holocaust and colonial ethical claims, and she considers relationships between indigenous people, international law and the museums that amass global treasures, the significance of copies, and how conservation science shapes collections. Illustrated with diagrams and rare archival material, this book brings together global history, European history, and material culture around this fascinating object and the debates about repatriation.

The Documentary Film Book
Author: Brian Winston
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1838718753
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
Powerfully posing questions of ethics, ideology, authorship and form, documentary film has never been more popular than it is today. Edited by one of the leading British authorities in the field, The Documentary Film Book is an essential guide to current thinking on documentary film. In a series of fascinating essays, key international experts discuss the theory of documentary, outline current understandings of its history (from pre-Flaherty to the post-Griersonian world of digital 'i-Docs'), survey documentary production (from Africa to Europe, and from the Americas to Asia), consider documentaries by marginalised minority communities, and assess its contribution to other disciplines and arts. Brought together here in one volume, these scholars offer compelling evidence as to why, over the last few decades, documentary has come to the centre of screen studies.

Morphological Plant Modeling: Unleashing Geometric and Topological Potential within the Plant Sciences
Author: Alexander Bucksch
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2889452972
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
An increasing population faces the growing demand for agricultural products and accurate global climate models that account for individual plant morphologies to predict favorable human habitat. Both demands are rooted in an improved understanding of the mechanistic origins of plant development. Such understanding requires geometric and topological descriptors to characterize the phenotype of plants and its link to genotypes. However, the current plant phenotyping framework relies on simple length and diameter measurements, which fail to capture the exquisite architecture of plants. The Research Topic “Morphological Plant Modeling: Unleashing Geometric and Topological Potential within the Plant Sciences” is the result of a workshop held at National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) in Knoxville, Tennessee. From 2.-4. September 2015 over 40 scientists from mathematics, computer science, engineering, physics and biology came together to set new frontiers in combining plant phenotyping with recent results from shape theory at the interface of geometry and topology. In doing so, the Research Topic synthesizes the views from multiple disciplines to reveal the potential of new mathematical concepts to analyze and quantify the relationship between morphological plant features. As such, the Research Topic bundles examples of new mathematical techniques including persistent homology, graph-theory, and shape statistics to tackle questions in crop breeding, developmental biology, and vegetation modeling. The challenge to model plant morphology under field conditions is a central theme of the included papers to address the problems of climate change and food security, that require the integration of plant biology and mathematics from geometry and topology research applied to imaging and simulation techniques. The introductory white paper written by the workshop participants identifies future directions in research, education and policy making to integrate biological and mathematical approaches and to strengthen research at the interface of both disciplines.
