Book Description
Discovered to possess a terrible, forbidden power, Korel's destiny is changed forever. Finding himself the victim of a heinous plot to discredit him, 17-year-old Korel is expelled from both his family and his home. Finding himself enslaved, Korel quickly rises up the ranks due to his quiet nobility, stoic sense of virtue, and sharp intelligence. But just when Korel finds himself with a small measure of comfort and stability in his new life, his budding romance with the beautiful Arinnea is dashed to pieces in an explosion of evil. Barely escaping with his life, Korel is once again forced to flee across the plains with only his warrior training, his unbeatable strength, and his memories as his companions. Living in both the present and the past, Korel is condemned to wander throughout the land, encountering creatures dark and dangerous that hold powers strange and terrible. He comes to wonder-no matter how many perils he escapes with his wit, cunning, and almost superhuman might-if he can ever escape his own past. In The Korellian Odyssey: Requiem, author Vance Bachelder introduces an epic tale of one man doomed to wander the earth. Korel's is a story of unrequited love, false prophesies, cunning enemies, a jealousy strong enough to rip a family apart, and the deep, personal shame of a betrayal that can never be atoned for.

My Life
Author: Leon Trotsky
Publisher: Wellred Books
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 719
Book Description
Since My Life was first published it has been regarded as a unique political, literary and human document. Written in the first year of Trotsky's exile in Turkey, it contains the earliest authoritative account of the rise of Stalinism and the expulsion of the Left Opposition, who heroically fought for the ideas and traditions of Lenin. Trotsky's exile is the culmination of a narrative which moves from his childhood, his education in the "universities" of Tsarist prisons, Siberia and then foreign exile - to his involvement in the European revolutionary movement and his central role in the tempestuous 1905 revolution and the Bolshevik victory in October 1917 and the civil war which followed. The work concludes with his deportation and exile. With an introduction by Alan Woods and a preface by Trotsky's grandson, Vsievolod Volkov.

Pages : 428
Book Description
The single comprehensive treatment of the field, from the leading members of the Society of Ethnobiology The field of ethnobiology—the study of relationships between particular ethnic groups and their native plants and animals—has grown very rapidly in recent years, spawning numerous subfields. Ethnobiological research has produced a wide range of medicines, natural products, and new crops, as well as striking insights into human cognition, language, and environmental management behavior from prehistory to the present. This is the single authoritative source on ethnobiology, covering all aspects of the field as it is currently defined. Featuring contributions from experienced scholars and sanctioned by the Society of Ethnobiology, this concise, readable volume provides extensive coverage of ethical issues and practices as well as archaeological, ethnological, and linguistic approaches. Emphasizing basic principles and methodology, this unique textbook offers a balanced treatment of all the major subfields within ethnobiology, allowing students to begin guided research in any related area—from archaeoethnozoology to ethnomycology to agroecology. Each chapter includes a basic introduction to each topic, is written by a leading specialist in the specific area addressed, and comes with a full bibliography citing major works in the area. All chapters cover recent research, and many are new in approach; most chapters present unpublished or very recently published new research. Featured are clear, distinctive treatments of areas such as ethnozoology, linguistic ethnobiology, traditional education, ethnoecology, and indigenous perspectives. Methodology and ethical action are also covered up to current practice. Ethnobiology is a specialized textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduate students; it is suitable for advanced-level ethnobotany, ethnobiology, cultural and political ecology, and archaeologically related courses. Research institutes will also find this work valuable, as will any reader with an interest in ethnobiological fields.
