Book Description
Volume three of the official history of Canada's Department of External Affairs offers readers an unparalleled look at the evolving structures underpinning Canadian foreign policy from 1968 to 1984. Using untapped archival sources and extensive interviews with top-level officials and ministers, the volume presents a frank "insider's view" of work in the Department, its key personalities, and its role in making Canada's foreign policy. In doing so, the volume presents novel perspectives on Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and the country's responses to the era's most important international challenges. These include the October Crisis of 1970, recognition of Communist China, UN peacekeeping, decolonization and the North-South dialogue, the Middle East and the Iran Hostage crisis, and the ever-dangerous Cold War.

Book Description
Dishonesty and deceit: consorting with djinn corrupts the truest of hearts. The Three Realms are in turmoil. Amid the chaos of war, the indigo djinn is scheming to raise the dark god. Humanity’s one hope is to find the Eye of Mahktos, an broken relic lost in the mists of time. It alone can suppress the djinn before he unleashes Sothmak’s devastating power on the world. But the royals act alone and unless they unite, the Eye of Mahktos will remain strewn across the land, powerless to do good, a weapon for harm. In Terlaan, Prince Vinsant fights to prevent Majoria Levi usurping the crown. In Myklaan, Lady Jordayne dabbles in black magic to keep the mahktashaan from seizing control. In Verdaan, Princess Kordahla struggles to protect her unborn child from a shah with ambitions to all three thrones. Steeped in magic and mystery, Eternal Eye concludes The Three Realm’s heroic battle against the armies of darkness.

Reason and science gave the Recindian Compact wonders like steam engines, telegraphs, and gunpowder. The world had order. It made sense. Until one night two multi-colored bands of light split the sky, spanning the horizons like rings around the planet. Soon after, unnatural storms assaulted the Compact's cities. Whispers spread of ghoulish creatures haunting Compact forests. And then a message from a legendary race called the Mystics - "ally with us to fight the growing evil, or we all perish."

She and Severin have settled into some semblance of a normal life, living in rural North America with their two kids, Connor and Kaie.

Until, their twelve year old daughter, Kaie, goes missing. Are monsters ever afraid of the dark? When Kaie finally awakens, she is no longer a child, and she is no longer in familiar surroundings. The Forbidding awaits. Echoes of madness surround her. The Belows warn of doom. Legend holds that whatever is born or brought into the Belows must remain there.

Book Description
This volume reproduces nineteen chapters and articles published between 1991 through 2008, on Manichaeism, and its contacts with Augustine of Hippo, its most famous convert and also best-known adversary. The contents are divided into four parts: perceptions of Mani within the Roman Empire, select aspects of Manichaean thought, women in Manichaeism, and Manichaeism and Augustine. Though these chapters and articles reproduce their originals, adjustments have been made to include cross-referencing, newer editions, and the like, all with the aim of rendering them more accessible to a new readership among those who follow the fortunes of Mani’s religion in the Roman Empire and/or the “Manichaean” aspects of Augustine of Hippo.
