Download or read book Trevelyan written by Christine Baldock and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2023-03-03 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the end of the 18th century and the end of schooling for four Cornish youngsters. They share their aspirations for the future, not realising there is a price to be paid. Cornwall is the land of mystery, legends, folktale and myths. Tiny villages with narrow winding streets nestle around rocky cover ideal for landing and distributing contraband. The fishermen are dependent upon the sea in all its moods and are forced to subsidise their catch with smuggled French brandy, tobacco, tea, and silk. The only other possible occupations, the tin mines and the farmed estates, are in the hands of the wealthy few, like Lord Trevelyan. For most Cornishmen life is harsh. To fulfil her own hopes of a better life, one young girl Karenza, discovers there are secrets to be concealed and seemingly impossible promises to be honoured, played out against an austere and merciless Cornish landscape and the ongoing hostility of the French.
Download or read book Devils Grace written by C.A. Wittchen and published by Casey Wittchen. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tempest Laurier appears to be an average seventeen year old who fits right in as a high school senior, but she has a secret she’s been hiding since she was adopted as a small child. Although she cannot remember much of her life before her adoption, nightmares, sightings and odd things have always happened to her. With a memory of a hallway taken by fire and a closed door at its end, Tempest unwittingly discovers that danger reaches close to home. Finding herself caught in the middle, she sees things that no one else can, giving her clues into a conflict among two worlds of the Species within our world, laced with faeries and demons, truth and deception. This leads her onto a crumbling road of physical and psychological pain, along with loss as relationships are tried and truths are discovered. When Tempest’s adoptive “perfect family” starts to act differently toward her, she decides to search for her birth father, bringing more than demons out of the shadows. The one thing Tempest never saw coming is an ugly secret straight into the heart of what should be her normal human life as she struggles to link her past with her present before it kills her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Englishwoman falls for a handsome intruder in this “emotional, compelling and atmospheric” historical romance by the author of The Thief’s Daughter (Chicks, Rogues and Scoundrels). Cornwall, 1861. Beth Jago is an independent seamstress living in her own remote cottage in Cornwall’s River Valley. She has what appears to be an idyllic life—but appearances can be deceiving. Lately, Beth has been receiving mysterious threats from an unknown outsider. So when she finds a strange man in her home, she acts swiftly to protect herself. One frying pan to the head knocks the intruder out cold—and nearly kills him. Worst of all, the blow seems to have robbed the handsome stranger of his memory. Afraid he might die, Beth reluctantly nurses him back to health. Yet can she trust the man with no name who has entered her life? Or is he as dangerous as his nightmares suggest? As they grow closer, the threats become more severe. Perhaps they are somehow linked to the man with no past. Or perhaps the real danger is still outside waiting . . . and watching them both.

Download or read book Eskrima written by Krishna Godhania and published by Crowood. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eskrima, which is also known as Arnis (De Mano) or Kali, is the indigenous martial art of the Philippine Islands. Dynamic and flexible, with a wide range of training methods it can be practised by students of all ages and levels of fitness. Well known and respected as a highly practical weapons-based system, Eskrima is practised worldwide by civilians, law enforcement personnel and special units within the military. Eskrima uses training weapons (rattan sticks and daggers) from the earliest stages, alongside purely unarmed techniques. These training methods have been found particularly effective at increasing co-ordination and reflexes, providing a fast track to developing the qualities needed for practical self-defence. This fascinating book traces the history and evolution of this art form. It highlights Eskrima's essential principles and concepts. The instructional section illustrates how the Eskrimador is able to succeed in a wide range of combat situations involving fighting with both weapons and open-hands. Techniques, two-person flow drills, self-defence applications, training with specialized equipment, the philosophy of the art and 'self-defence and the law' are all covered in depth.
Download or read book Interfaces in Language written by John Partridge and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08-11 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume resulted from the first Interfaces in Language conference held at the University of Kent, England, as a result of the need perceived for the orthodox distinctions made between the various perceived divisions in language study, e.g. syntax vs. semantics vs. pragmatics vs. phonology vs. morphology, to be expanded into a wider concept of linguistic interfaces, for example language and music, language and politics, languages in mutual contact, languages in mutual conflict, and language and literature. Potential contributors at the conference were encouraged to define and explore the particular interfaces which interested them, to see where there was common ground, where distinctions were to be made and where grey areas invite further investigation. The results were startling: contributors responded from America, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Poland, Spain and Switzerland as well as the UK, with themes ultimately grouped under three headings which have been roughly retained in this volume. Many of the wide range of resultant perspectives are represented here, as well as those treated by colleagues prevented at the last moment from attending the conference. Categories and Orthodoxies addresses some of the most traditional interfaces, whilst Contact and Conflict examines clashes and coalescences between languages, languages and politics, the mutual interaction of variants of a language and the imposition or choice of a non-native language over its native counterparts; and Language and Cognition sees language behaviour as partly at least influenced by factors other than those formally identified as strictly linguistic.
