Book Description
The Third and Final Book of the Deathwind Trilogy Allie used to be terrified of the Deathwind--a mysterious force that cursed her to turn into a tornado with every storm. But now she's its master, charged with turning others into Outbreakers like her before the Deathwind unleashes and kills thousands. Even with the help of her boyfriend, Dorian, it's almost impossible to keep up with its demands. In order to gain full control of the Deathwind and find a cure for her affliction, she must make a permanent bond with either Dorian or her best friend, Tommy--and the choice won't be as easy as she thinks. Allie will also meet a new foe, one that will stop at nothing to gain the power that she now holds. To save herself, Allie must go to war with the worst of her kind and face the evil in herself--a growing urge to give in to the darker, destructive side of her nature. The clock is ticking. Salvation--or death--is only days away.

Loner, misfit, wild. Everything about the new guy at school, Cayden, should push me away. And when the wolves appear in the woods around town, one of them shares Cayden's dark hair, red highlights, and his wild, noble eyes. Deep down, I know the explanation for his amazing hearing, graceful walk, and his ability to fight off guys twice his size. I should fear him, but he draws me in. I'm alone, too, having lost parents at a young age. Only Cayden understands what it's like to be different. But Cayden warns me off as his eyes yearn for me. Turns out he's right to. Other werewolves exist, savage ones who hate human life and noble Wolves like Cayden. They'll attack anyone who dares enter his life. And now they're settling in my hometown. It won't be long before they destroy my home. Staying away from Cayden is the safe thing to do. But without me, he'll go up against the savage werewolves alone. And I can't let him do that.

Ritual Civilization and Mythological Coding
Author: Qicui Tang
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811543933
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
This book places Li Ji (the Book of Rites) back in the overall context of “books,” “rites” and its research history, drawing on the interrelations between myth, ritual and “materialized” symbols to do so. Further, it employs the double perspectives of “books” and “rites” to explore the sources and symbols of the capping ceremony (rites of passage), decode the prototypes of Miao and Ming Tang, and restore the discourse patterns of “people of five directions.” The book subsequently investigates the formation and function of the Yue Ling calendar and disaster ritual, so as to reveal the human cognitive encoding and metalanguage of ritual behavior involved. In the process, it demonstrates that Li Ji, its textual memories, archaeological remains and “traditional ceremony” narratives are all subject to the latent myth coding mechanism in China’s cultural system, while the “compilation” and “materialized” remains are merely forms of ritual refactoring, interpretation and exhibition, used when authority seeks the aid of ritual civilization to strengthen its legitimacy and maintain the social order.

Down to Earth
Author: Ted Steinberg
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199315019
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1150
Book Description
In this ambitious and provocative text, environmental historian Ted Steinberg offers a sweeping history of our nation--a history that, for the first time, places the environment at the very center of our story. Written with exceptional clarity, Down to Earth re-envisions the story of America "from the ground up." It reveals how focusing on plants, animals, climate, and other ecological factors can radically change the way that we think about the past. Examining such familiar topics as colonization, the industrial revolution, slavery, the Civil War, and the emergence of modern-day consumer culture, Steinberg recounts how the natural world influenced the course of human history. From the colonists' attempts to impose order on the land to modern efforts to sell the wilderness as a consumer good, the author reminds readers that many critical episodes in our history were, in fact, environmental events. He highlights the ways in which we have attempted to reshape and control nature, from Thomas Jefferson's surveying plan, which divided the national landscape into a grid, to the transformation of animals, crops, and even water into commodities. The text is ideal for courses in environmental history, environmental studies, urban studies, economic history, and American history. Passionately argued and thought-provoking, Down to Earth retells our nation's history with nature in the foreground--a perspective that will challenge our view of everything from Jamestown to Disney World.
