Pages : 528
Book Description
Gordon Dahlquist transfixed readers across the world with his dazzling literary debut, the epic Victorian tale The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters. Now the internationally bestselling author continues an adventure like no other, featuring three heroes you will never forget. Awakening from a fevered delirium, Celeste Temple finds herself in a fishing village on the remote Iron Coast. She has no idea where her companions, Cardinal Chang and Doctor Svenson, might be—nor whether any of her enemies survived the dirigible crash that marked her last conscious moment. And while her body seems intact, she cannot say the same for her mind. For she must contend not only with the possibility that peril awaits her but with the memory of her traitorous fiancé’s murder at sea…along with thousands of other memories that now live within her—courtesy of a bewitching glass book. Hunted by murderous opportunists and cruel mercenaries of every kind, Miss Temple, Chang, and the Doctor are soon propelled into a quest that will draw them one by one into a realm of reckless, lawless terror. At every turn lies another enigma—and the stench of indigo clay, the raw material used to enslave even the most steadfast soul. Now they alone stand in the path of a diabolical conspiracy involving the books—one that will mean an alarming new world where once-free-roaming minds are wiped completely clean… if they live long enough. As Miss Temple, Cardinal Chang and Dr. Svenson uncover the devilish schemes of their deadly enemies, the terrifying secrets contained in The Dark Volume will be revealed one by one. For the blue glass is more lethal than they’d ever imagined—and those who possess it, as well as those who pursue it, are playing with fire. Pulsing with electrifying suspense, this uniquely thrilling feat of the imagination will grip readers in its dark thrall long after the final page is devoured.

A Shot in the Dark: A History of the U.S. Army Asymmetric Warfare Group
Author: Paul J. Cook
Publisher: Vernon Press
ISBN: 1648899005
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
This book presents the U.S. Army Asymmetric Warfare Group (AWG) as an example of successful change by the Army in wartime. It argues that creating the AWG required senior leaders to create a vision differing from the Army’s self-conceptualization, change bureaucratic processes to turn the vision into an actual unit, and then place the new unit in the hands of uniquely qualified leaders to build and sustain it. In doing this, it considers the forces influencing change within the Army and argues the two most significant are its self-conceptualization and institutional bureaucracy. The work explores three major subject areas that provide historical context. The first is the Army’s institutional history from the early 1950s through 2001. This period begins with the Army seeking to validate its place in America’s national security strategy and ends with the Army trying to chart a path into the post-Cold War future. The Army’s history is largely one of asymmetric warfare. The work thus examines several campaigns that offered lessons for subsequent wars. Some lessons the Army took to heart, others it ignored. As the AWG was a direct outgrowth of the failures and frustrations the Army experienced in Afghanistan and Iraq, the book examines these campaigns and identifies the specific problems that led senior Army leaders to create the AWG. Finally, the work chronicles the AWG’s creation in 2006, growth, and re-assignment from the Army staff to a fully-fledged organization subordinate to the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command in 2011 to its deactivation. This action resulted not from the unit’s failure to adapt to a post-insurgency Army focusing on modernization. Rather, it resulted from the Army failing to realize that while the AWG was a product of counterinsurgency, it provided the capability to support the Army during a period of great strategic and institutional uncertainty.

The Oxford Handbook of Light in Archaeology
Author: Costas Papadopoulos
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191092339
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1005
Book Description
Light has a fundamental role to play in our perception of the world. Natural or artificial lightscapes orchestrate uses and experiences of space and, in turn, influence how people construct and negotiate their identities, form social relationships, and attribute meaning to (im)material practices. Archaeological practice seeks to analyse the material culture of past societies by examining the interaction between people, things, and spaces. As light is a crucial factor that mediates these relationships, understanding its principles and addressing illumination's impact on sensory experience and perception should be a fundamental pursuit in archaeology. However, in archaeological reasoning, studies of lightscapes have remained largely neglected and understudied. This volume provides a comprehensive and accessible consideration of light in archaeology and beyond by including dedicated and fully illustrated chapters covering diverse aspects of illumination in different spatial and temporal contexts, from prehistory to the present. Written by leading international scholars, it interrogates the qualities and affordances of light in different contexts and (im)material environments, explores its manipulation, and problematises its elusive properties. The result is a synthesis of invaluable insights into sensory experience and perception, demonstrating illumination's vital impact on social, cultural, and artistic contexts.

The Risen, the Chosen, and the Dark
Author: Jessica Lynn Campos
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 160477925X
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
It was shadow. A dark mass that was both visible and invisible, opaque and transparent - a shadow with dimension - darkness with volume. An ominous sound of hushed mutters seemed to sigh out from within the darkness itself as the Hunter continued to expand it. The misty shadows stretched forth, as if to get a feel for the surroundings. This was where the Dark Ones got their name.. For over fifty years, a war has been raging. Threatened by the Dark Ones, Man has agreed to a system of partnerships, forming a new way of life with phoenixes, winged horses, and dragons. Children are taught at a young age to fight for what is right and to trust in the One. As war ravages the land, eight children will learn how to defend themselves, their friends, families, and homelands. The son of a king, the daughter of a queen, a descendant of an underground fighter, and a child of the forest will choose four others and unite, unwittingly setting a prophecy in motion as the Dark Ones initiate a new offensive. Will the eight be able to halt this advancement, or will more of the world fall into darkness? Jessica Lynn Campos is an engineering student at Oklahoma State University. Between classes, she enjoys reading, playing games and guitar, and, of course, writing. Her ideas stem from a strong Christian faith and from watching the world around her, especially her family. Her mother, father, sister, and three brothers were the inspiration for many of the characters. They were also her support when she looked to publish. She gives credit to God, who made everything fall into place at the right time. Without Him, nothing would be possible. Gal 6:17
