Henley with The Brilliant Darkness Series." ★★★★★ It hasn’t been long since Fennel, a Sightless Groundling, and Peree, her Lofty Keeper, fell in love and learned the truth: the Scourge, and their world, is not what it seems. Fenn and Peree are determined to guide their people to the protected village of Koolkuna. First, they must convince them that everything they believe is a lie. Not everyone wants to uproot their lives in the forest, and those who stay behind will be left terribly vulnerable. Fenn and Peree’s resolve to be together despite their people’s disapproval, and the constant threat of the Scourge’s return, pushes both groups to the breaking point. Unable to tell friend from foe, Fenn must again decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice to ensure the people of the forest’s future. Only this time, the price of peace may be too high to bear. "Captivating." ★★★★★ The Defiance is book two of the Brilliant Darkness fantasy romance series.

Download or read book The Echelon written by Ramona Finn and published by Relay Publishing. This book was released on with total page 1288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On an Earth ravaged by toxic waste and violent mutants, one girl with power in her blood will rise to save them. Only the Decemites—carefully selected children injected with nanobots and trained to survive the treacherous terrain Earth has become—can survive the outside long enough to collect resources for the domed city of Echelon. Decemites who serve long enough have a chance at a better life. But few live to experience their reward. Myla’s only ever known the stratified life inside the dome. As the secret child of a forbidden Decemite relationship, she has abilities like no one else, abilities she’s had to keep hidden her entire life. But when her Decemite sister goes missing on a mission, Myla’s search to bring her home will uncover the truth about the Outside and the secrets the leader of Echelon has been keeping. No normal human is supposed to be able to survive outside the dome, but rebel Outsiders prove that wrong. By her side is Lock, the Decemite golden boy and unlikely companion in her quest. As she grows closer to Lock, a rebel boy, Ben, shows her the lies that Echelon has been keeping. He draws her deep into the rebel world and a life she never could have imagined. As she uncovers the ugly truths about Echelon, Myla will have to make a choice: can she ever go back to her old life, or is her only chance at freedom to tear down the only world she’s ever known?

Download or read book A Road to Extinction written by Jonathan Lawley and published by Envelope Books. This book was released on 2024-06-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jarawa, one of the oldest tribes of human beings in the world, are at risk of extinction because of a road that now runs through their forests in the Indian-administered Andaman Islands, in the Bay of Bengal — and no one seems to care. Tourists take the road each day to try and get selfies with the tribespeople, who came from what is now Botswana over 60,000 years ago. Once proud of their independence, the Jarawa are now tempted with biscuits and trinkets, as if they were exotic animals in a human safari park. They cannot survive like this, and are already suffering from their loss of privacy. In this astonishing EnvelopeBooks publication, Jonathan Lawley returns to what was once a penal colony, built by the British to house mutineers from 1857 Indian Rebellion. He asks what responsibility colonial administrators like his own grandfather may have had for the sad plight of these palaeolithic hunter-gatherers, and what the Indian government should now be doing to protect them. Sumptuously illustrated with the author’s never-before-seen archive photographs and highly recommended by leading figures in the British media and government.

They lied… Welcome to Echelon, a domed city that protects the survivors of a ravaged Earth. Here, the wealthy elite live in Sky, high above the poor dwellers of Dirt. And Dirt children known as Decimites are injected with nanobots, allowing them to survive in a world ravaged by toxins. Forced to gather resources from Outside, their enhancements grant them a chance for a better life. But few live long enough to enjoy it… Dirt Dweller Myla wasn’t chosen to be a Decemite. But she still carries the nanobots in her blood—a secret she has revealed only to a chosen few. When Myla’s young sister disappears after her first mission Outside, Myla must leave the safety of her dome to find her. Lock, a Decimite champion, joins Myla on her journey. But as they venture across the perilous wasteland, they meet Ben, a human living beyond the dome. This young rebel shows Myla that life Outside is nothing like what she was told. To find her sister, she’ll need both Ben and Lock’s help. But if Lock discovers the secret hiding in Myla’s blood, the penalty is death…

A journey outside the domed city proved that was a lie. Now all the other lies told by Lady Lazrad, the leader of Echelon, are unravelling, leading Myla down a path to open rebellion. At her side are Ben and Lock, one a rebel boy, the other a nanobot infused Decemite who fled Echelon with her. They’ve both helped her grow as a person and into her power, but her heart is confused what she wants from either of them. With death hanging over her, Myla knows the only way to save the people of Echelon and those outside the city that Lazrad is determined to annihilate is to reveal the iron fisted ruler’s treachery and remove her from power.

I am sad to see all the characters go." ★★★★★ Fennel and Peree are finally together and safe from the Scourge in the protected village of Koolkuna. Except, on the day of their partnering ceremony the children of the village are stolen away—Fenn's loyal companion, Kora, among them. Fenn and Peree join a small search party led by rival Kaiya, the one person who stands a chance of finding the children thanks to her mysterious past. As they travel away from the safe waters of Koolkuna and into the Scourge-infested wilds, Fenn endures Kai's scorn, her subtle designs on Peree, and the squabbling of the group, but nothing in her life so far has prepared her for the fierce warrior women who will steal others' children to preserve their own existence—the Fire Sisters. If Fenn is to survive the threat of the Scourge, rescue the children from the Sisters, and have a hope of making a life with Peree in Koolkuna, she must face her fear of failure and loss and become the leader she's destined to be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Judith Neiswander explains that during these years liberal values - individuality, cosmopolitanism, scientific rationalism, the progressive role of the elite and the emancipation of women - informed advice about the desirable appearance of the home. In the period preceding the First World War, these values changed dramatically: advice on decoration became more nationalistic in tone and a new goal was set for the interior - "to raise the British child by the British hearth." Neiswander traces this evolving discourse within the context of current writing on interior decoration, writing that it is much more detached from social and political issues of the day."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Flinders Petrie written by Margaret S. Drower and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1995-06-01 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flinders Petrie has been called the “Father of Modern Egyptology”—and indeed he is one of the pioneers of modern archaeological methods. This fascinating biography of Petrie was first published to high acclaim in England in 1985. Margaret S. Drower, a student of Petrie’s in the early 1930s, traces his life from his boyhood, when he was already a budding scholar, through his stunning career in the deserts of Egypt to his death in Jerusalem at the age of eighty-nine. Drower combines her first-hand knowledge with Petrie’s own voluminous personal and professional diaries to forge a lively account of this influential and sometimes controversial figure. Drower presents Petrie as he was: an enthusiastic eccentric, diligently plunging into the uncharted past of ancient Egypt. She tells not only of his spectacular finds, including the tombs of the first Pharaohs, the earliest alphabetic script, a Homer manuscript, and a collection of painted portraits on mummy cases, but also of Petrie’s important contributions to the science of modern archaeology, such as orderly record-keeping of the progress of a dig and the use of pottery sherds in historical dating. Petrie's careful academic methods often pitted him against such rival archaeologists as Amélineau, who boasted he had smashed the stone jars he could not carry away to be sold, and Maspero and Naville, who mangled a pyramid at El Kula they had vainly tried to break into.
