Download or read book The Paua Tower written by Coral Atkinson and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in a pivotal moment in our history, this love story is about how we once were, or might have been. A tarot-reading Frenchwoman and a paua-shell memorial to a dead soldier play an important role in this gritty love story. Set in a central North Island town in New Zealand during the 1930s Depression, The Paua Tower explores the relationship of a group of people struggling to survive and make sense of a bitter time. It is the story of Vic Cowan, unemployed activist, and Stella Morgan, the sweetheart who must save herself; it tells of Jack Baldwin, the disabled bank manager who sees visions; and Roland Crawford the doubting clergyman. Faith is lost and found, corruption is rife and innocence destroyed, but through it all love blossoms and hope endures.

Download or read book Venetian Renaissance Fortifications in the Mediterranean written by Dragoş Cosmescu and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-12-23 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Renaissance was a revolution of ideas, arts and sciences alike, with Italy at its center. Venice was among the first states to embrace new concepts in fortification, which would dominate military architecture for centuries. In the age of large galley fleets and an expanding Ottoman Empire, the mighty defenses of the Republic of Venice protected faraway territories in the Mediterranean, and some of the largest and best preserved Renaissance fortifications are found on the former Venetian islands. This book illustrates in detail the impressive defenses of Cyprus, Crete and Corfu, their design and their war record. Walled towns and fortresses were constructed to the latest standards of military technology, with walls capable of withstanding the largest armies and the longest sieges, including the longest in history--22 years.

Download or read book Amethysts and Emeralds written by Daniel King and published by Interactive Publications Pty Ltd. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Times; color: #000000} Amethysts and Emeralds is a selection of Daniel King’s awardwinning poetry, much of which has been published in journals around the world. The poems embrace a wide variety of forms, from free verse to sonnet, roundel, villanelle, and sestina. Thematically, too, the poems are very varied, ranging from the realist “Head in the Sand”, published in the prestigious London Magazine, to a song lyric from Shadows of 1876: The Wild Birds have Returned, a CD of mystical country music songs about historical fi gures and events from the United States in the year 1876. Most of the poems, however, are of a religious and/ or mystical theme: indeed, a large subset of the poems concerns the genesis and future life of Kalki, the tenth and final avatar of the Hindu God Vishnu (the Preserver), incarnating this time and forever together with Shiva (the Destroyer).
