Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Taking place nearly a century before the events of A Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R. R. Martin’s ongoing masterwork, A Song of Ice and Fire. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY LOS ANGELES TIMES AND BUZZFEED These never-before-collected adventures recount an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living consciousness. Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne, there was Dunk and Egg. A young, naïve but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals—in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg—whose true name is hidden from all he and Dunk encounter. Though more improbable heroes may not be found in all of Westeros, great destinies lay ahead for these two . . . as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits. Featuring more than 160 all-new illustrations by Gary Gianni, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a must-have collection that proves chivalry isn’t dead—yet. Praise for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms “Readers who already love Martin and his ability to bring visceral human drama out of any story will be thrilled to find this trilogy brought together and injected with extra life.”—Booklist “The real reason to check out this collection is that it’s simply great storytelling. Martin crafts a living, breathing world in a way few authors can. . . . [Gianni’s illustrations] really bring the events of the novellas to life in beautiful fashion.”—Tech Times “Stirring . . . As Tolkien has his Silmarillion, so [George R. R.] Martin has this trilogy of foundational tales. They succeed on their own, but in addition, they succeed in making fans want more.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Pure fantasy adventure, with two of the most likable protagonists George R. R. Martin has ever penned.”—Bustle “A must-read for Martin’s legion of fans . . . a rousing prelude to [his] bestselling Song of Ice and Fire saga . . . rich in human drama and the colorful worldbuilding that distinguishes other books in the series.”—Publishers Weekly
Download or read book Women of Ice and Fire written by Anne Gjelsvik and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-04-07 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George R.R. Martin's acclaimed seven-book fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire is unique for its strong and multi-faceted female protagonists, from teen queen Daenerys, scheming Queen Cersei, child avenger Arya, knight Brienne, Red Witch Melisandre, and many more. The Game of Thrones universe challenges, exploits, yet also changes how we think of women and gender, not only in fantasy, but in Western culture in general. Divided into three sections addressing questions of adaptation from novel to television, female characters, and politics and female audience engagement within the GoT universe, the interdisciplinary and international lineup of contributors analyze gender in relation to female characters and topics such as genre, sex, violence, adaptation, as well as fan reviews. The genre of fantasy was once considered a primarily male territory with male heroes. Women of Ice and Fire shows how the GoT universe challenges, exploits, and reimagines gender and why it holds strong appeal to female readers, audiences, and online participants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breathe Magic Into Your Yoga Practice A feeling of freedom, inner peace, feeling good in your body, clarity of mind-these are some of the things yoga can bring when you integrate its practices into your daily life. This beautifully illustrated book invites you to infuse the wisdom and tools of yoga with the soaring capabilities of your imagination, going beyond the mundane and into the realm of the extraordinary. What does yoga have to do with dragons? Well, in the symbolic sense, dragons can represent the energy of the breath, opening to its nourishing current like the spreading of wings. The movement of asana (yoga postures) on your mat can be like riding a dragon, requiring skill, strength, focus and courage. Dragons are wisdom-keepers, and yoga's wisdom is seemingly infinite. And the mystical energy of Kundalini-the rising serpent-could easily be represented by a dragon as well. Perhaps you even believe in dragons. Many people do, you know. Dragons have long symbolized power and transformation. To claim your power is to embrace your entire self, as well as the mission or purpose of your life. This book merges the realms of fantasy and reality, offering you a very readable yet incredibly detailed journey through the study of yoga. Though the theme of this book is light-hearted and unconventional, the subjects covered are comprehensive to the extent that this book has been used in teacher trainings and by yoga teachers to deepen their own knowledge. That said, a raw beginner receives a wonderfully accessible guide to the full spectrum of yoga as well, going beyond the physical asanas to the philosophies and meditative practices of yoga. When it comes to the physical practice of yoga, you'll find hundreds of photos and exceptional alignment instruction. As with the entire book, the asana section is designed so you can "Choose-Your-Own-Adventure." You are invited to do the poses that work for your body and just look at the pretty pictures if it isn't something you want to do right now. Beginners can focus on the single pose descriptions, and build simple sequences from the full ones offered. For the advanced and intermediate practitioners, you'll find creative and engaging sequences that will challenge you in the most delightful way Here is a Preview of What You Will Receive: Friendly, accessible instruction that allows you to start doing yoga right awayEasy to understand explanations of yoga's philosophical foundations, with encouragement to take what works for you and let the rest go, Step-by-step alignment cues to some of yoga's most fundamental (and fun) poses, Comprehensive yoga asana sequences that you can tailor to your own level of practice, A wealth of meditations and affirmations that gently but powerfully bring you a sense of clarity and calm, Energy healing techniques and visualizations, Step-by-step instruction on breathing practices (pranayama), A sense of personal empowerment, and much, much more Check Out What Others Are Saying . . .
