Book excerpt: Connie Willis draws upon her understanding of the universalities of human nature to explore the ageless issues of evil, suffering, and the indomitable will of the human spirit. “A tour de force.”—The New York Times Book Review For Kivrin, preparing to travel back in time to study one of the deadliest eras in humanity’s history was as simple as receiving inoculations against the diseases of the fourteenth century and inventing an alibi for a woman traveling alone. For her instructors in the twenty-first century, it meant painstaking calculations and careful monitoring of the rendezvous location where Kivrin would be received. But a crisis strangely linking past and future strands Kivrin in a bygone age as her fellows try desperately to rescue her. In a time of superstition and fear, Kivrin—barely of age herself—finds she has become an unlikely angel of hope during one of history’s darkest hours.

Along the way, Jesse spins a series of fairy tales from threads of memories, weaving together the past, present, and future into stories of brave girls, of cunning lads, of love in the face of wickedness, and of hope in the midst of despair.

Download or read book History of International Relations and Russian Foreign Policy in the 20th Century Volume II written by Boris F. Martyn and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-08 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume, focusing on 1945-1991, unpacks the reasons for the Cold War and takes the reader through its ebbs, flows and unexpected end. How did the allies of World War II become enemies? The authors argue that the Cold War controversy could have been avoided, or at least mitigated, had the sides been guided by healthy pragmatism instead of ideology and megalomania. Contradictory relations between the superpowers, regional wars and conflicts, and the scramble to escape a nuclear Holocaust—all of this reads sometimes as a good detective story. Perestroika and Glasnost, useful as they might be, came too late to radically improve the poisonous atmosphere of enmity in East-West relations. The end of the Cold War did not mean the end of rivalry. Good will in this case did not guarantee good outcomes. As civilizational, cultural, personal and religious contradictions begin to replace economic and social divides, we need to be fully aware of our past if we are to do our best to resolve these issues.

Now he must face a new one; transforming two baby twins into strong and capable warriors who will be able to protect the world from a threat that has risen from the ashes of the Guardian War. The strongest of the twins, Micael, has shown potential to become the world's greatest warrior. He has been trained and trained well. However, despite the training, Micael may not have the strength to stand against the forces of darkness that have conspired against Kadema. After the mastermind of the Exiles unleashes a strategy that cripples the Guardian Knights, Marcus and Micael are forced to decide on a plan of desperation; seek out a traitorous army once loyal to Luxius, the deceased Master of the Exiles. If Micael fails in his quest to ally himself with the Banished Army, then his life and those of his companions will be forfeit. However, if Micael is successful, then the world will see the might of an army not seen in nearly one hundred years. However even if the Banished Army agrees to aid Kadema, the combined strength may not be enough. The Exiles have constructed a new weapon, which is capable of destroying hundreds of thousands of lives in an instant. Even more terrifying is the mastermind's ultimate goal. If they are successful, the combined strength of Micael, Marcus and their allies will not be enough to stop the annihilation of the entire planet. Dawn of the Guardian is the first book in the ongoing Doomsday Warriors Saga.

This book was released on 2023-04-14 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collected Studies CS1062 This volume brings together a selection of the major articles of Alexandra F. Johnston, which along with similar volumes by the late David Mills, Peter Meredith and Meg Twycross makes up a set of "Shifting Paradigms in Early English Drama Studies". Alexandra Johnston, the founding director of the research project, Records of Early English Drama, is one of these four key scholars whose work has had a profound influence on the study of medieval and early modern English drama. This collection of essays focuses especially on the York plays: on the Mercers’ documents that initiated the project itself; on the theology and christology of the plays; on the relationship between the plays and contemporary administrative bodies, both civic and national; and on the performance of the York plays in modern times. A further group of articles considers documentary evidence for the wide range of drama and mimetic ceremony in the Midlands and the West Country, reinforcing our understanding that these events took place predominately on a local parish level. The collection is rounded out with a survey of the immense changes that our reading of early English drama have undergone over the past half century.
