A Spell for Chameleon (The Parallel Edition... Simplified)
Author: Piers Anthony
Publisher: Del Rey
ISBN: 0345536444
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
Piers Anthony’s bestselling Xanth series is one of the cornerstones of fantasy, a lively and whimsical interpretation of a genre often criticized for taking itself too seriously. Anthony’s first Xanth novel, A Spell for Chameleon, was initially edited to target a more traditional audience. Now, in an eBook exclusive, A Spell for Chameleon has been reworked line by line—its language matching the simpler, playful way with words that made Piers Anthony an enduring fan favorite. Xanth is an enchanted land where magic rules, a land of centaurs and dragons and basilisks where every citizen has a unique spell to call their own. For Bink of North Village, however, Xanth is no fairy tale. He alone has no magic. And unless he gets some—and fast!—he will be exiled. Forever. But the Good Magician Humfrey is convinced that Bink does indeed have magic. In fact, both Beauregard the genie and the magic wall chart insist that Bink has magic as powerful as any possessed by the King, the Good Magician Humfrey, or even the Evil Magician Trent. Be that as it may, no one can fathom the nature of Bink’s very special magic. This is even worse than having no magic at all . . . and he still faces exile!

THE ACCLAIMED SEQUEL TO THE CHOSEN In desperation, the Ruling Lord Suth searches within the sacred walls of Osrakum for Carnelian, his son, and Osidian, the God Emperor elect. He suspects the Empress Ykoriana is behind their disappearance and knows that if they are not found soon it is her other son, Osidian's brother Molochite, who will rule - with fearful consequences for the Three Lands. Captive of the tribes of the Earthsky, Carnelian is - for the moment - safe, and succumbs readily to the seasonal rhythms of tribal life, he is convinced by unexpected discoveries that it is fate that has bought him there.He grows to love these simple people and hopes for sanctuary among them. But the dark forces Carnelian helped unleash in Osrakum begin to cast their shadow over his adopted home. He is witness to the awful oppression that the Masters - whom the tribesmen call the Standing Dead - have been inflicting on them for millennia. But even more terrible is the presence Carnelian has unwittingly brought with him. Potent and terrifying, it threatens everything he now holds dear in this new-found world. With The Standing Dead, Ricardo Pinto gives us a tumultuous new chapter in the Stone Dance of the Chameleon trilogy and confirms his place as one of fantasy's most singular and literate voices.

The Chameleon
Author: Merrick Rosenberg
Publisher: Take Flight Learning
ISBN: 099641102X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Imagine what it would be like to understand the actions and motivations of others - and to know how to apply such knowledge to be a better spouse or parent and a more effective leader, teacher, coach, or salesperson. The Chameleon by Merrick Rosenberg is enjoyable and transformative as it helps readers gain deeper self-awareness, maximize personal strengths, and strengthen relationships. The Chameleon contains 22 fables based on the four personality types as represented by an Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl. Guided by an all-knowing chameleon, the characters help readers gain meaningful insights into understanding themselves and others. The Introduction fable provides an overview of the four personality styles. The remaining fables chronicle the bird's interactions over a one-year period. Each fable is followed by a "Chameleon Wisdom" section that expands on the fable's lessons and provides practical applications of the story's moral. These deeper insights include examples of how to employ the styles to increase effectiveness at work, deepen personal relationships, parent with compassion, and generally live a more fulfilling life.
