Book Description
The Touchwood Chronicles blurs the lines between reality and the otherworld. Get ready to be captivated by a trilogy steeped in Celtic lore and spirituality! This semi-biographical novel is a perfect blend of entertainment, education, and spiritual awakening. Journey with the author as he explores a world of mystical experiences beyond traditional religious frameworks, weaving together cutting-edge metaphysical and scientific developments to create an enchanting holistic worldview. In the second book of the Touchwood Chronicles, follow Corin as he realizes his dream of a self-sufficient life in remote Ireland. There, he encounters a fellow druid living off the land and reconnects with the beguiling High Priestess from the first book, who reveals ancient magical secrets. However, Corin is plagued by ominous dreams and a growing sense that someone—or something—is urgently trying to reach him. In desperation, he seeks the guidance of a mysterious alchemist on the druid isle of Anglesey, unveiling a hidden world that exists in plain sight for those with open hearts. These are the real-life confessions of a modern-day Wiccan who later founded the Australian College of Druidry, famously dubbed the real-life Hogwarts by the press. But what is true, and what is fiction? It's up to you to decide! By the enigmatic author of the ground-breaking trilogy: The Touchwood Chronicles

The Biology of Hagfishes
Author: Jørgen Mørup Jørgensen
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401158347
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 577
Book Description
The hagfishes comprise a uniform group of some 60 species inhabiting the cool or deep parts of the oceans of both hemispheres. They are considered the most primitive representatives of the group of craniate chordates, which - apart from the hagfishes that show no traces of verte brae -includes all vertebrate animals. Consequently the hagfishes have played and still playa central role in discussions concerning the evolution of the vertebrates. Although most of the focus on hagfishes may be the result of their being primitive, it should not be forgotten that, at the same time, they are specialized animals with a unique way of life that is interesting in its own right. It is now more than 30 years since a comprehensive treatise on hagfishes was published. The Biology of Myxine, edited by Alf Brodal and Ragnar Fange (Universitetsforlaget, Oslo, 1963), provided a wealth of information on the biology of hagfishes, and over the years remained a major source of information and inspiration to students of hagfishes.

Publisher: McGraw Hill
ISBN: 0077171926
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 817
Book Description
This one-semester text is designed for an upper-level majors course. Vertebrates features a unique emphasis on function and evolution of vertebrates, complete anatomical detail, and excellent pedagogy. Vertebrate groups are organized phylogenetically, and their systems discussed within such a context. Morphology is foremost, but the author has developed and integrated an understanding of function and evolution into the discussion of anatomy of the various systems.

Fish Physiology: Primitive Fishes
Author:
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080549527
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
Primitive fishes are a relatively untapped resource in the scientific search for insights into the evolution of physiological systems in fishes and higher vertebrates. Volume 26 in the Fish Physiology series presents what is known about the physiology of these fish in comparison with the two fish groups that dominate today, the modern elasmobranchs and the teleosts. Chapters include reviews on what is known about cardiovascular, nervous and ventilatory systems, gas exchange, ion and nitrogenous waste regulation, muscles and locomotion, endocrine systems, and reproduction. Editors provide a thorough understanding of how these systems have evolved through piscine and vertebrate evolutionary history. Primitive Fishes includes ground-breaking information in the field, including highlighs of the most unusual characteristics amongst the various species, which might have allowed these fishes to persist virtually unchanged through evolutionary time. This volume is essential for all comparative physiologists, fish biologists, and paleontologists. - Provides an analysis of the evolutionary significance of physiological adaptations in "ancient fishes" - Offers insights on the evolution of higher vertebrates - The only single source that presents an in-depth discussion of topics related to the physiology of ancient fishes

This Broken World

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 772
Book Description
NEW EPIC FANTASY FROM AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR CHARLES E. GANNON. A young man must face dangers from without and within—and question everything he believes to be true. Since boyhood, Druadaen expected he’d ascend to the command of an elite legion and become the leader his father predicted he would be. However, fate had something different in store. Assigned instead to a small group of outriders tasked with watching nearby kingdoms, Druadaen discovers that the world beyond his homeland is riddled with impossibilities. How do humanoid raiders, known as the Bent, suffer staggering losses and yet return as a vast horde every decade? How do multi-ton dragons fly? How have fossils formed in a world which sacrists insist has existed for only ten millennia? Determined to solve these mysteries, Druadaen journeys into the dank warrens of the Bent, seeks out a dragon’s lair, and ventures into long-buried ruins in search of ancient scrolls. But, whereas legends tell of heroes who encounter their greatest perils during just such forays into the unknown, Druadaen’s most lethal enemies might lurk in even more unusual places: The temples and council chambers of his own homeland. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). About Charles E. Gannon: “Chuck Gannon is one of those marvelous finds—someone as comfortable with characters as he is with technology, and equally adept at providing those characters with problems to solve. Imaginative, fun, and not afraid to step on the occasional toe or gore the occasional sacred cow, his stories do not disappoint.”—David Weber “If we meet strong aliens out there, will we suffer the fate of the Aztecs and Incas, or find the agility to survive? Gannon fizzes with ideas about the dangerous politics of first contact.”—David Brin “Chuck Gannon writes the kind of science fiction we all grew up on: rousing, mind-expanding, pulse-pounding sagas of spaceships and aliens. He's a terrific writer, and we're lucky to have him.” —Robert J. Sawyer “[A] strong [writer of] . . . military SF . . . [much] action going on in his work, with a lot of physics behind it. There is a real sense of the urgency of war and the sacrifices it demands.” —Locus

Revisioning Beckett
Author: S. E. Gontarski
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1501337653
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Revisioning Beckett reassesses Beckett's career and literary output, particularly his engagement with what might be called decadent modernism. Gontarski approaches Beckett from multiple viewpoints: from his running afoul of the Irish Censorship of Publications Acts in the 1930s through the 1950s, his preoccupations to “find literature in the pornography, or beneath the pornography,” his battles with the Lord Chamberlain in the mid-1950s over London stagings of his first two plays, and his close professional and personal associations with publishers who celebrated the work of the demimonde. Much of that term encompasses an opening to the fullness of human experience denied in previous centuries, and much of that has been sexual or decadent. As Gontarski shows, the aesthetics that emerges from such early career encounters and associations continues to inform Beckett's work and develops into experimental modes that upend literary models and middle-class values, an aesthetics that, furthermore, has inspired any number of visual artists to re-vision Beckett.
