She Is The Darkness
Author: Glen Cook
Publisher: Tor Books
ISBN: 1466831073
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 615
Book Description
Glen Cook's She is the Darkness is the second book in the fast-paced Glittering Stone military fantasy series. The wind whines and howls with bitter breath. Lightning snarls and barks. Rage is an animate force upon the plain of glittering stone. Even shadows are afraid. At the heart of the plain stands a vast grey stronghold, unknown, older than any written memory. One ancient tower has collapsed across the fissure. From the heart of the fastness comes a great deep slow breath like that of a slumbering world-heart, cracking the olden silence. Death is eternity. Eternity is stone. Stone is silence. Stone cannot speak but stone remembers. So begins the next movement of Glittering Stone.... The tale again comes to us from the pen of Murgen, Annalist and Standard Bearer of the Black Company, whose developing powers of travel through space and time give him a perspective like no other. Led by the wily commander, Croaker, and the Lady, the Company is working for the Taglian government, but neither the Company nor the Taglians are overflowing with trust for each other. Arrayed against both is a similarly tenuous alliance of sorcerers, including the diabolical Soulcatcher, the psychotic Howler, and a four-year-old child who may be the most powerful of all. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book Description
THE O'MALLEY TRILOGY Every daughter lives a trilogy: her own story intertwined with her mother's and her grandmother's. Like every woman, twenty-two year-old Eve Roberts is afraid she'll grow up to be her mother. She wants to be better. But after her boyfriend dumps her, independent Eve returns home for advice and comfort. Amy, her mother, wants to help but is limited by her abilities, unevenly strengthened by her adversities and still healing from a bad divorce. The two women spend a weekend together on a Florida beach in brisk, humorous, and sometimes painful dialogue about the family's history and how it has defined the choices they have made. They uncover patterns and experiences handed down from generation to generation, irrevocably changing the course of each daughter's life. Amy considers her passage from daughter to mother, from young to old, from beautiful to aging. The past becomes clear; the future is hard to see. On the same beach, young Eve begins to see her life as full of possibilities-if she can stand on her own. Both women know that they must somehow separate from the past without letting go of each other if they are to be the women they aspire to be. Alternating chapters in a narrative voice between Eve and Amy, this powerful story reverberates with the memories of the mother/daughter relationships of both women as they struggle to understand their relationship and reaffirm their love.

Music and the Politics of Negation
Author: James R. Currie
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253005221
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Over the past quarter century, music studies in the academy have their postmodern credentials by insisting that our scholarly engagements start and end by placing music firmly within its various historical and social contexts. In Music and the Politics of Negation, James R. Currie sets out to disturb the validity of this now quite orthodox claim. Alternating dialectically between analytic and historical investigations into the late 18th century and the present, he poses a set of uncomfortable questions regarding the limits and complicities of the values that the academy keeps in circulation by means of its musical encounters. His overriding thesis is that the forces that have formed us are not our fate.
