Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A merwoman and a goblin girl each take on dangerous quests in this hilarious fantasy adventure by a New York Times–bestselling author. In Xanth, almost everything is magic, and whatever isn’t is probably lying. The land is also more dangerous than the sea, but that isn’t going to stop Mela Merwoman, who is searching for a husband. With her options running low, she transforms into a human and leaves the safety of the sea to ask Good Magician Humfrey for assistance. But before Mela can begin her quest, she must first indulge in the landbound custom of wearing clothes, which means picking out what to wear . . . from the trees, of course. While Mela can pick her clothes, Gwenny Goblin cannot pick her family. Her awful half-brother, Gobble, will be the next chief of the goblin horde, if Gwenny doesn’t take the title first. To do so, she must prove her courage through stealing an egg that lies between a deadly roc and a hard place. With the help of Che Centaur and Jenny Elf—and maybe even Mela—Gwenny just might make it back home alive . . .

Download or read book Wonder and Science written by Mary Baine Campbell and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the early modern period, western Europe was transformed by the proliferation of new worlds—geographic worlds found in the voyages of discovery and conceptual and celestial worlds opened by natural philosophy, or science. The response to incredible overseas encounters and to the profound technological, religious, economic, and intellectual changes occurring in Europe was one of nearly overwhelming wonder, expressed in a rich variety of texts. In the need to manage this wonder, to harness this imaginative overabundance, Mary Baine Campbell finds both the sensational beauty of early scientific works and the beginnings of the divergence of the sciences—particularly geography, astronomy, and anthropology—from the writing of fiction. Campbell's learned and brilliantly perceptive new book analyzes a cross section of texts in which worlds were made and unmade; these texts include cosmographies, colonial reports, works of natural philosophy and natural history, fantastic voyages, exotic fictions, and confessions. Among the authors she discusses are André Thevet, Thomas Hariot, Francis Bacon, Galileo, Margaret Cavendish, and Aphra Behn. Campbell's emphasis is on developments in England and France, but she considers works in languages other than English or French which were well known in the polyglot book culture of the time. With over thirty well-chosen illustrations, Wonder and Science enhances our understanding of the culture of early modern Europe, the history of science, and the development of literary forms, including the novel and ethnography.
Download or read book Latham s Landing II Return to Cairn Isle written by Tara Fox Hall and published by Melange Books, LLC. This book was released on with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latham’s Landing is a cursed island mansion that dwells like a sitting spider on a long clear lake in the Northeast. Red granite stones make its skeleton. Lights form at night in its windows, though the electricity there has been off for some time. Winding out from the isle is a long narrow stone bridge that snakes to a house of glass known as The Sea Room. On some nights, The Sea Room also lights up, burning like a pyre of Hell as Cairn Isle welcomes new victims. Winds tend to come up out of nowhere, becoming tempests of lightning and rough waves in mere minutes that overturn boats with childish ease. Time passes differently there, the hours slipping away like minutes. Stories of ghosts and disappearances abound, and it is hard to say what is truth and what comes from fear. For the isle wears an unspeakable menace like a permanent cloak, and none who come close enough to see anything—and live to tell about it—ever tell all that they have seen. Until now. Frustrated that Cairn Isle has claimed another new batch of victims, retired police Chief Stahl strikes back, buying the property and flooding Cairn Isle, stopping the killings. Yet black hissing shadows and worse haunt the island shore, venturing inland. People begin to disappear. Island survivor Barb, reporter Cheer, pastor Maryanne and even the psychic Jean Bane join with Stahl in an effort to destroy the evil forces of Cairn Isle at all costs.
