Book Description
In the year 1823, the kingdom of Ashkara emerges from the ashes of a devastating war, with its young and enigmatic queen, Amara, at the helm. Determined to restore her kingdom to its former glory, Queen Amara forges an alliance with the neighboring tribes and unveils a revolutionary plan to establish a formidable female army, known as the Phoenix Guard. Leading the charge of the Phoenix Guard is Commander Zara, a warrior with an untamed spirit and an unyielding sense of justice. Haunted by a tragic past, Commander Zara seeks redemption through her unwavering loyalty to Queen Amara and her commitment to protecting the innocent. As the kingdom rebuilds, Commander Zara urges Queen Amara to explore new paths of prosperity that do not rely on the oppressive slave trade. Unbeknownst to them, a clandestine organization known as the Shadow Syndicate plots to exploit the kingdom's vulnerabilities. Led by a charismatic but ruthless figure, they manipulate rival kingdoms to join their cause and overthrow Queen Amara's reign. As the threat looms larger, Commander Zara must confront not only the external enemies but also the internal turmoil that threatens to consume her. The arrival of Adia, a spirited and gifted young warrior, breathes new life into the Phoenix Guard. Adia challenges traditions and brings fresh perspectives on how to defend the kingdom, igniting a spark of hope within the ranks. As Commander Zara and Adia form an unlikely alliance, they embark on a treacherous journey to uncover the truth behind the Shadow Syndicate's machinations, leading them through treacherous terrains and into the heart of ancient legends. As Ashkara braces for the ultimate battle, Commander Zara and her newfound allies must navigate a web of betrayal, deceit, and magical intrigue. They must confront their darkest fears and unravel the mysteries of their own origins to save their kingdom from the encroaching darkness. The path to victory is paved with sacrifices, as they discover the true meaning of loyalty, honor, and the resilience of the human spirit. "The Phoenix's Oath" is a captivating tale of resilience, redemption, and the unbreakable bonds forged in the crucible of adversity. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, the characters must find their inner strength and rise like a phoenix from the ashes, promising to protect their kingdom and its people at any cost. This thrilling story explores themes of self-discovery, courage, and the enduring power of hope in a world on the brink of transformation.

Proof!
Author: Amir Alexander
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 0374714126
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
A “lucid and convincingly argued” narrative of how ancient geometric principles continue to shape the contemporary world (Publishers Weekly). On a cloudy day in 1413, a balding young man stood at the entrance to the Cathedral of Florence, facing the ancient Baptistery across the piazza. As puzzled passers-by looked on, he raised a small painting to his face, then held a mirror in front of the painting. Few at the time understood what he was up to; even he barely had an inkling of what was at stake. But on that day, the master craftsman and engineer Filippo Brunelleschi would prove that the world and everything within it was governed by the ancient science of geometry. In Proof!, the award-winning historian Amir Alexander traces the path of the geometrical vision of the world as it coursed its way from the Renaissance to the present, shaping our societies, our politics, and our ideals. Geometry came to stand for a fixed and unchallengeable universal order, and kings, empire-builders, and even republican revolutionaries would rush to cast their rule as the apex of the geometrical universe. For who could doubt the right of a ruler or the legitimacy of a government that drew its power from the immutable principles of Euclidean geometry? From the elegant terraces of Versailles to the broad avenues of Washington, DC, and on to the boulevards of New Delhi and Manila, the geometrical vision was carved into the landscape of modernity. Euclid, Alexander shows, made the world as we know it possible.

Introduction to Game Analysis
Author: Clara Fernández-Vara
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 135114006X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
This accessible textbook gives students the tools they need to analyze games using strategies borrowed from textual analysis. As the field of game studies grows, videogame writing is evolving from the mere evaluation of gameplay, graphics, sound, and replayablity, to more reflective writing that manages to convey the complexity of a game and the way it is played in a cultural context. Clara Fernández-Vara’s concise primer provides readers with instruction on the basic building blocks of game analysis—examination of context, content and reception, and formal qualities—as well as the vocabulary necessary for talking about videogames' distinguishing characteristics. Examples are drawn from a range of games, both digital and non-digital—from Portal and World of Warcraft to Monopoly—and the book provides a variety of exercises and sample analyses, as well as a comprehensive ludography and glossary. In this second edition of the popular textbook, Fernández-Vara brings the book firmly up-to-date, pulling in fresh examples from ground-breaking new works in this dynamic field. Introduction to Game Analysis remains a unique practical tool for students who want to become more fluent writers and critics not only of videogames, but also of digital media overall.
