Book Description
The Knights of Excelter team up with Lockharst scientists to unravel the meaning of obscure coded equations. This leads to the opening of a portal into another dimension, an alien realm where Brandon Chadler suspects his father, an archaeologist, to have gone missing years ago. Mira's dream visions, Irish folklore of the Gomtrell community, and some ancient clay tablets offer clues that reveal substantial evidence supporting Allen Chadler's disappearance into this other dimensional realm. Follow the adventures of Captain Chadler, and his search team, as they explore a realm previously dismissed by the academic community of Scotwold and the normal world. A realm kept in utmost secrecy by the descendants of Irish and Scottish settlers from past centuries to the present. They discover the indigenous tribes of the canyons, the Ubolozimbe, in this new realm; a people who have learned to tolerate the presence of settlers on their sacred lands. Brandon and Mira's romantic relationship flourishes as they explore the sparkling realm of Gomtrellia, even as time is swiftly passing in Scotwold. And the only link to their previous life is through a mysterious boy with clairvoyant vision and the image of the Great Gray Owl. Sylas Mervinstone returns in this book with a vastly altered appearance due to an elixir of youth which he keeps under lock and key. The Dragon Lord breaks his own well-established rules to accommodate the under-aged Craig Zutherlan, the only person who can make contact with Mira through barriers of light, time, and space between dimensional realms.

Book Description
Drawing from engrossing survivors' accounts, many never before published, The Minsk Ghetto 1941-1943 recounts a heroic yet little-known chapter in Holocaust history. In vivid and moving detail, Barbara Epstein chronicles the history of a Communist-led resistance movement inside the Minsk ghetto, which, through its links to its Belarussian counterpart outside the ghetto and with help from others, enabled thousands of ghetto Jews to flee to the surrounding forests where they joined partisan units fighting the Germans. Telling a story that stands in stark contrast to what transpired across much of Eastern Europe, where Jews found few reliable allies in the face of the Nazi threat, this book captures the texture of life inside and outside the Minsk ghetto, evoking the harsh conditions, the life-threatening situations, and the friendships that helped many escape almost certain death. Epstein also explores how and why this resistance movement, unlike better known movements at places like Warsaw, Vilna, and Kovno, was able to rely on collaboration with those outside ghetto walls. She finds that an internationalist ethos fostered by two decades of Soviet rule, in addition to other factors, made this extraordinary story possible.

Women Without Wings is a study of the lives of three young women and their mothers who lived out their lives in a time when Vietnam standards of gentility dictated the conduct of all classes. These standards did indeed insure that women had clipped wings. Myra, Anne, and "Pet" are of marriageable age the summer they received invitations to a house party, the social event of the season. This event took the happy thoughtless days of the three teenagers to the realization they were caught within the structured world that defined their behavior and had the power to choose their life partner. As the story unfolds against the background of upper-class life in the years following the civil war, we see how circumstances begin to shape the lives of the three girls whose wings are symbolically clipped. We see each girl handling the situation differently. Myra defies, Anne manipulates the system, and "Pet" succumbs and in deteriorating health; dies. This message of mothers and daughters still resonate in a powerful way for women who, today, have wings.
