Book Description
The world I know is flooded. You don't go in the water. You don't touch it. If you do, it will get you, drag you down, and you're gone. Harry Iskinder knows the rules. Don't touch the water, or it will pull you under. Conserve food, because there's no arable land. Use Sundered slaves gently, or they die too quickly to be worthwhile. The Sundered create food. The Sundered create shelter. They're also dying out. In a world lost to deadly flood, Harry searches for the mythical cure, the Hope of Humanity - but the Hope isn't what he thinks, and neither are the slavish Sundered Ones. When he claims the magnificent and powerful Sundered named Aakesh, Harry quickly finds himself in deep and dangerous water.

The Koreans
Author: Michael Breen
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466864494
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
The rise of South Korea is one of the most unexpected and inspirational developments of the latter part of our century. A few decades ago, the Koreans were an impoverished, agricultural people. In one generation they came out of the fields and into Silicon Valley. In 1997, this powerhouse of a nation reeled and almost collapsed as a result of a weak financial system and heavily indebted conglomerates. The world is now watching to see whether the Koreans will be able to reform and continue their stunning growth. Although Korea has only recently found itself a part of the global stage, it is a country with a rich and complex past. Early history shows that Koreans had a huge influence on ancient Japan, and their historic achievements include being the first culture to use metal movable type for printing books. However, much of their history is less positive; it is marred with political violence, poverty, and war--aspects that would sooner be forgotten by the Koreans, who are trying to focus on their promising future. The fact that Korean history has eluded much of the world is unfortunate, but as Korea becomes more of a global player, understanding and appreciation for this unique nation has become indispensable. In The Koreans, Michael Breen provides an in-depth portrait of the country and its people. An early overview of the nature and values of the Korean people provides the background for a more detailed examination of the complex history of the country, in particular its division into the Communist north and pro-Western south. In this absorbing and enlightening account of the Koreans, Michael Breen provides compelling insight into the history and character of this fascinating nation.

Classical Arabic Humanities in Their Own Terms
Author: Beatrice Gruendler
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 904742381X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 648
Book Description
The volume brings together approaches to different elements of Arabic-Islamic civilization, mainly in the areas of linguistics, literature, literary theory, and prosody, but also including religion, ritual, economics, and zoology. Contributions also touch upon the adjacent areas of the Old Iranian, Persian, Greek and Byzantine written traditions. Some take as their points of departure specific Arabic words (cat, giraffe) or morphemes; others explore literary genres, subgenres (oration, ode, macaronic poem, travel narrative) or figures within them (the trickster, the devil). Cultural concepts such as wishing, gift-giving or discourse are treated, as are aspects of broader phenomena, such as the role of gender in dream interpretation or the relative merits of luxury goods and mass-produced commodities.

Tinna's Might
Author: Miranda Mayer
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1469793229
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
An innocent childhood friendship is twisted by a dark fixation. Jealousy leads a young man to betray the girl he wants to win and drives a powerful mage to risk his sanity and his soul for the sake of love. Twenty years after the Dragon Burnings decimated humankind, the unexpected and unwelcome arrival of her mother sets Tinna's teeth on edge. When her own daughter disappears, and invasion threatens her world, Tinna faces a choice no mother should have to make. If she, and she alone, can save her people and their way of life from the brutality of the Thran, what will become of Avria? Can she trust a man she hardly knows to track down the ones who have stolen her child? Once again, Tinna finds herself at the mercy of the enigmatic Keepers. Wise but indecipherable, remote yet manipulative, they demand enormous sacrifice while offering little in the way of practical guidance. One child lost and another one still unborn, charged with shaping the remnants of a people who crave only peace into an army capable of withstanding the berserk and deadly Thran, Tinna must summon all of the might remaining to her. Can she stand up to her own doubt and trepidation? Must she forsake her own daughter to wage a war she never wanted? Dare she give herself over to the will of the Keepers, knowing they want far more of her than a mother should have to give?
