Download or read book Pegasus written by Robin McKinley and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-11-02 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because she was a princess, she had a Pegasus… Princess Sylviianel has always known that on her twelfth birthday she too would be bound to her own Pegasus. All members of the royal family have been thus bound since the Alliance was made almost a thousand years ago; the binding system was created to strengthen the Alliance, because humans and pegasi can only communicate formally, through specially trained Speaker magicians. Sylvi is accustomed to seeing pegasi every day at the palace, but she still finds the idea of her binding very daunting. The official phrase is that your pegasus is your “Excellent Friend.” But how can you be friends with someone you can’t talk to? But everything is different for Sylvi and Ebon from the moment they meet at her binding—when they discover they can talk to each other. They form so close a bond that it becomes a threat to the status quo—and possibly to the future safety of their two nations. For some of the magicians believe there is a reason humans and pegasi should not fully understand each other…

Download or read book Survivor written by Mark Wales and published by Macmillan Publishers Aus.. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A powerful, honest story of courage, redemption and finding purpose' - Bear Grylls Forging resilience Finding purpose Mastering transformation How do you rebuild your life when you've hit rock bottom? Mark Wales thought his life would end in a cornfield in Afghanistan. Mark and his SAS troops emerged from that scorched battlefield twelve hours later, his mentor gunned down, his dream career now a nightmare. Over four deployments of intense warfighting, Mark watched the line between right and wrong become blurred. When he left the SAS he was adrift, crippled by guilt. On a mission to rebuild himself, Mark turned his life around. He fought his way into the gates of a US Ivy League business school and into the boardrooms of top-tier international corporations. He spent years navigating failure in a quest to find new meaning in life. With every setback Mark counterattacked, discovering the tactics and tools needed to become more resilient, and to find happiness, belonging and purpose. Told with gripping suspense, humour and touching warmth, Survivor is Mark's extraordinary life in and out of the SAS, a story of resilience and a testament to the power of transformation. 'Searing, humbling and uplifting ... Mark Wales is a true inspiration' - Major General John Cantwell AO, DSC LONGLISTED FOR THE MARGARET AND COLIN RODERICK LITERARY AWARD 2022 Praise for Survivor 'In Special Forces it is often said the thinking is at least as important as the fighting. Through these pages Mark Wales is shown as a thinking soldier. And further, a person of magnificent generosity, taking us to rarely trespassed ground, the battlefield within.' Chris Masters, Gold Walkley award-winning journalist and author 'Mark Wales is one of those men to whom we have outsourced the responsibility to kill - and be killed - so we may live as we do. If you read one book about the SAS, Afghanistan, those Australians who fought the war on our behalf and the price they have paid for it, this is it. The power is in the story. In this one, discover your own and be inspired to be a better person and a better Australian.' Hon Dr Brendan Nelson AO, former Director of the Australian War Memorial and former Minister for Defence 'Searing, humbling and uplifting by turns, this story vibrates with the energy of a former SAS officer and his empowering search for peace and a new life. This man is a remarkable package: elite warrior, hungry entrepreneur, and a survivor determined to overcome his emotional wounds. Mark Wales is a true inspiration.' Major John Cantwell AO, DSC, bestselling author of Exit Wounds and retired Australian Army general 'Mark's book is a great lesson that even the strong can feel weak, and that allows the weak to feel strong in the face of adversity. Survivor is action-packed and reminds us all that a veteran's sacrifice is not for a period of time in a foreign land. It is here and it is eternal.' Merrick Watts, comedian and joint winner of SAS Australia (2020) 'A powerful, honest story of courage, redemption and finding purpose after experiencing so much horror and hardship with the Australian SAS in Afghanistan' Bear Grylls OBE, British adventurer, author and SAS veteran

Download or read book Shared Knowledge written by Class of 2020 and published by Badger & Seal. This book was released on 2021-08-16 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lot of people know a lot of stuff, and most of us don't get to share the best bits with other people. So this book gets together twenty-one recent graduates to share something they think you should know. Among other things you can learn: Why you should care about Japan's ageing population How a baby is made (after the fun bit) How the English and Scottish dealt with 'witches' Why we should think about disasters a bit differently How performance analysis works in sport Our editors graduated from university in 2008, during the last once in a lifetime financial armageddon. The idea behind this book was to allow recent graduates (who are hitting the real world a full twelve years after it went wrong last time) an opportunity to do something interesting with their time. Our experience tells us the next few years’ worth of graduates will spend a long time being called lazy and stupid for the crime of being born about twenty-one years before it all went pear-shaped. So, for our authors, at least, they will have something to point at that they have achieved to disprove that. But mostly we just wanted to get together twenty-one chapters worth of stuff we didn’t know before.

Left homeless after his human could no longer care for him, a lonely grey housecat seeks sanctuary in the barn during a bitter autumn storm. The next morning, he is asked a question that will change the course of his life: “Are you planning to stay?” So begin the adventures of Fluff and Clarence and the successive generations of kittens that join them in learning about the wonders—and dangers—of barn life, the importance of finding home and family, and the joy that can be found again after loss. The prequel to No Ordinary Cats and based on the real cats from the author’s childhood, No Ordinary Barn Cats is a humorous, touching, and genuine tale of rural prairie life, the lives of these special animals, and the undeniable impact they have on us—and each other.

Book excerpt: If advances in medical technology now allow babies to be born earlier and survive premature birth, what of the psychical impact of this emergence into the world? What consequences can premature birth have for babies, for their families, and for the medical staff around them? In this exciting and inspiring study, the author describes the work she has undertaken over the past twenty years in a neonatal intensive care unit.
