There are poltergeists creating constant disruptions and, in the cellar, a terrifying ghost. Lloyd's survival has always depended on his fighting spirit, and he sets about confronting the mayhem surrounding him. In his quest to remove the curse, he finds he possesses a rare power, which leads him to link what is happening to a nearby ravaged stone circle. But can he do anything to remove the curse from Sarson Hall, and can he bring peace once more to the old building and its occupants?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Ruskin's 'The Stones of Venice' is a seminal work that delves into the intricacies of Venetian architecture and the city's rich history. Divided into three volumes, Ruskin meticulously examines the architectural styles, construction techniques, and symbolic meanings behind the buildings of Venice. His writing style is both descriptive and analytical, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the significance of each structure. Set against the backdrop of the 19th century, Ruskin's work reflects the Romantic fascination with the past and the urge to preserve cultural heritage. This book not only serves as a guide to Venetian architecture but also offers profound insights into the relationship between art, history, and society. John Ruskin, a renowned art critic and social thinker, was inspired to write 'The Stones of Venice' after visiting the city in the mid-19th century. His passion for architecture and dedication to the preservation of cultural heritage shines through in this comprehensive study. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in art history, architecture, or the cultural significance of Venice.

The Empire stands at the brink of total collapse. But they have saved their most heinous plan for last. First a plot is hatched that could destroy the New Republic in a bloodbath of genocide and civil war. Then comes the shocking news that Grand Admiral Thrawn--the most cunning and ruthless warlord in history--has apparently returned from the dead to lead the Empire to a long-prophesied victory. Facing incredible odds, Han and Leia begin a desperate race against time to prevent the New Republic from unraveling in the face of two inexplicable threats--one from within and one from without. Meanwhile, Luke teams up with Mara Jade, using the Force to track down a mysterious pirate ship with a crew of clones. Yet, perhaps most dangerous of all, are those who lurk in the shadows, orchestrating a dark plan that will turn the New Republic and the Empire into their playthings.

Download or read book Stone Vessels and Values in the Bronze Age Mediterranean written by Andrew Bevan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-08-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The societies that developed in the eastern Mediterranean during the Bronze Age produced the most prolific and diverse range of stone vessel traditions known at any time or anywhere in the world. Stone vessels are therefore a key class of artefact in the early history of this region. As a form of archaeological evidence, they offer important analytical advantages over other artefact types - virtual indestructibility, a wide range of functions and values, huge variety in manufacturing traditions, as well as the subtractive character of stone and its rich potential for geological provenancing. In this 2007 book, Andrew Bevan considers individual stone vessel industries in great detail. He also offers a highly comparative and value-led perspective on production, consumption and exchange logics throughout the eastern Mediterranean over a period of two millennia during the Bronze Age (ca.3000–1200 BC).
