Book excerpt: The sons of the fallen angel Gulielmus thought they were just taking out some supernatural trash in Eastern North Carolina. A year later, the effects of their brawl reverberate half a country away in New Mexico. Fortunately, the trouble surfaces in the best possible place: on the ranch of one of Maria’s oldest shapeshifter families. THE COUGAR’S PAWN Cougar shifter Mason Foye’s father died, leaving him the heir apparent of the alpha position of a group of mutinous cats. Now the absentee goddess who originated the species is sending him on an ill-timed mate hunt. And for once, her message is clear: convince stranger Ellery Colvard to become his mate, or else. THE COUGAR’S TRADE Hank Foye can’t find the logic in the goddess La Bella Dama pairing a shapeshifter group’s second-in-command with a meek and quiet human nurse. Given the chaos at home on the ranch and inside the Cougar group, Miles Bennet is a liability. He may have escaped being cursed, but he still has to get his house and heart in order. And Miles isn’t going to make it easy for him. THE COUGAR’S BARGAIN Hannah Welch doomed cougar shifter Sean Foye to spend the rest of his life in his animal form when she refused to accept him as a mate. To make peace with her new community, she bargains with La Bella Dama to free Sean from his furry affliction. The price? Finding him a more suitable mate. But now Hannah’s not so sure she should give him up. THE COUGAR’S WISH A desperate entity trapped in a hellmouth pleads for cougar shifter Belle Foye’s help. Former soldier Steven Welch’s job is to keep her away from the hellmouth by any means necessary. It’s just his luck that the bold and reckless alpha’s sister has taken a shine to him…and that his own secret supernatural situation could compromise everything they’re working for.
Download or read book Levels of Selection in Evolution written by Laurent Keller and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the groundbreaking work of George Williams, W. D. Hamilton, and Richard Dawkins, evolutionary biologists have recognized that natural selection generally does not operate for the good of the group, but rather for the good of lower-level units such as the individual, the cell, even the gene. One of the fundamental problems of biology is: what keeps competition between these various levels of natural selection from destroying the common interests to be gained from cooperation? In this volume twelve prominent scientists explore this question, presenting a comprehensive survey of the current theoretical and empirical research in evolutionary biology. Recent studies show that at many levels of biological organization, mechanisms have evolved to prevent potential conflict in natural selection. Editor Laurent Keller's aim in this book is to bring together leading researchers from all biological disciplines to outline these potential conflicts and discuss how they are resolved. A multi-level approach of this kind allows important insights into the evolution of life, as well as bridging the long-standing conceptual chasm between molecular and organismal biologists. The chapters here follow a rigorous theoretical framework, giving the book an overall synergy that is unique to multi-authored books. The contributors, in addition to the editor, are H. Charles J. Godfray, Edward Allen Herre, Dawn M. Kitchen, Egbert Giles Leigh, Jr., Catherine M. Lessells, Richard E. Michod, Leonard Nunney, Craig Packer, Andrew Pomiankowski, H. Kern Reeve, John Maynard Smith, and Eörs Szathmáry.

Download or read book The Desert and the Sea written by Michael Scott Moore and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Scott Moore, a journalist and the author of Sweetness and Blood, incorporates personal narrative and rigorous investigative journalism in this profound and revelatory memoir of his three-year captivity by Somali pirates—a riveting,thoughtful, and emotionally resonant exploration of foreign policy, religious extremism, and the costs of survival. In January 2012, having covered a Somali pirate trial in Hamburg for Spiegel Online International—and funded by a grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting—Michael Scott Moore traveled to the Horn of Africa to write about piracy and ways to end it. In a terrible twist of fate, Moore himself was kidnapped and subsequently held captive by Somali pirates. Subjected to conditions that break even the strongest spirits—physical injury, starvation, isolation, terror—Moore’s survival is a testament to his indomitable strength of mind. In September 2014, after 977 days, he walked free when his ransom was put together by the help of several US and German institutions, friends, colleagues, and his strong-willed mother. Yet Moore’s own struggle is only part of the story: The Desert and the Sea falls at the intersection of reportage, memoir, and history. Caught between Muslim pirates, the looming threat of Al-Shabaab, and the rise of ISIS, Moore observes the worlds that surrounded him—the economics and history of piracy; the effects of post-colonialism; the politics of hostage negotiation and ransom; while also conjuring the various faces of Islam—and places his ordeal in the context of the larger political and historical issues. A sort of Catch-22 meets Black Hawk Down, The Desert and the Sea is written with dark humor, candor, and a journalist’s clinical distance and eye for detail. Moore offers an intimate and otherwise inaccessible view of life as we cannot fathom it, brilliantly weaving his own experience as a hostage with the social, economic, religious, and political factors creating it. The Desert and the Sea is wildly compelling and a book that will take its place next to titles like Den of Lions and Even Silence Has an End.

Download or read book The Welsh Guards written by John Retallack and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 1981-02-20 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the youngest of the Regiments in the Household Division, the Welsh Guards have established a reputation on both the battlefield, and on the parade ground, that is fully equal to the proud standards for which Guardsmen have long been famous. The Welsh Guards were formed in 1915, and they saw much hard fighting in both World Wars. Of the first thirty years of their existence, almost a third were spent at war and as a result tradition and regimental spirit were quickly forged. Such is the variety of a modern soldier's life that in the years since the Second World War, the Welsh Guards have been employed in sixteen different countrys, (in some of them two or three times) as diverse as texas and the snows of artic Norway. This swift account takes their story from the regiment's foundation in 1915, from their baptism of fire at loos, through another World War, and on to the tragic business of trying to preserve lives, and some sort of life, in the internecine bitterness of Northern Ireland.
