Serena had crossed a country to find him, guided by her determination to become a master wizard. She knew he could be her teacher—but she never expected the charismatic, seductive power that was Merlin's. Nor had she dreamed of the fire he ignited in her body and soul, a flame that burned even hotter than the powerful talent she possessed but did not yet understand. Their love forbidden by an ancient law, Serena and Richard will take a desperate gamble and travel to a long-lost world to change the history that threatens to separate them.

Download or read book The Wizard of Washington written by M. Holli and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-03-28 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have tended to point to John F. Kennedy's 1960 bid for the presidency as the first time a candidate relied extensively on public opinion polls to drive a campaign. Polling has come to define American politics, and is perhaps most clearly embodied in Bill Clinton, the post poll-driven president in history. Melvin G. Holli dismisses this notion, however, and reveals that presidential reliance on public opinion polls dates back to the New Deal Era, when Franklin Roosevelt employed a first-generation Finnish-American named Emil Hurja to conduct polls for this 1932 and 1936 presidential campaigns. Holli shows us how Hurja convinced the Democratic National Committee to allow him to apply the new science of polling FDR's presidential campaign of 1932. Roosevelt's triumph at the polls in that year and again in 1936, as well as the spectacular 1934 Democratic mid-term congressional victory was legendary. Holli restores Hurja to his rightful place in American history and politics, showing us that the Washington press corps were right on target when they dubbed Hurja the 'Wizard of Washington'.

Lenny sets out on a journey of self-discovery in the Kingdom of Duscany where he is known as Prince Leonard of the Bugowards, but he prefers to be called the Wizard of Seattle. He plans to repair the ancient castle of King Gunber who built it after the fall of Eskeling a thousand years before. Since his magic abilities have been growing greatly, he sets out to prove his worth. Jenna, Master Sorcerer Scapita's niece, volunteers to help with the logistics of obtaining food during his stay at the castle, but she's interested in him as a man and his magic. Before long, she's mastered the wizors to repair wood and stone. Together they accomplish many repairs to the castle; however, a shadowy apparition shows them the way to a hidden dark mirror that brings trouble with it. When their friend Master Sorcerer Skeldon arrives, he becomes rightfully concerned when he learns of the mirror and what it could represent. When Jenna suddenly vanishes, Skeldon calls for help in the form of King Cavindal, Scapita and Guena, Jenna's teacher and an accomplished sorceress. Before long, Skeldon, Lenny and his Bugoward girlfriend Zada vanish into the mirror. King Cavindal and the King of the Bugowards worry over the existence of the black mirror, but could it actually be a threat to the security of the Kingdom of Duscany itself?
Download or read book Skid Road written by Murray Morgan and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skid Road tells the story of Seattle “from the bottom up,” offering an informal and engaging portrait of the Emerald City’s first century, as seen through the lives of some of its most colorful citizens. With his trademark combination of deep local knowledge, precision, and wit, Murray Morgan traces the city’s history from its earliest days as a hacked-from-the-wilderness timber town, touching on local tribes, settlers, the lumber and railroad industries, the great fire of 1889, the Alaska gold rush, flourishing dens of vice, the 1919 general strike, the 1962 World’s Fair, and the stuttering growth of the 1970s and ’80s. Through it all, Morgan shows us that Seattle’s one constant is change and that its penchant for reinvention has always been fueled by creative, if sometimes unorthodox, residents. With a new introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning book critic Mary Ann Gwinn, this redesigned edition of Murray Morgan’s classic work is a must for those interested in how Seattle got to where it is today.

Download or read book Emerald City written by Matthew W. Klingle and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the environmental history of Seattle and what it tells us about making cities that are both scenic and just for all At the foot of the snow-capped Cascade Mountains on the forested shores of Puget Sound, Seattle is set in a location of spectacular natural beauty. Boosters of the city have long capitalized on this splendor, recently likening it to the fairytale capital of L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz, the Emerald City. But just as Dorothy, Toto, and their traveling companions discover a darker reality upon entering the green gates of the imaginary Emerald City, those who look more closely at Seattle's landscape will find that it reveals a history marked by environmental degradation and urban inequality. This book explores the role of nature in the development of the city of Seattle from the earliest days of its settlement to the present. Combining environmental history, urban history, and human geography, Matthew Klingle shows how attempts to reshape nature in and around Seattle have often ended not only in ecological disaster but also social inequality. The price of Seattle's centuries of growth and progress has been paid by its wildlife, including the famous Pacific salmon, and its poorest residents. Klingle proposes a bold new way of understanding the interdependence between nature and culture, and he argues for what he calls an "ethic of place." Using Seattle as a compelling case study, he offers important insights for every city seeking to live in harmony with its natural landscape.
