Download or read book Wrath of the Blue Lady written by Mel Odom and published by Wizards of the Coast. This book was released on 2010-01-26 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author Mel Odom returns to the magical world of the Forgotten Realms with this action-packed, high-seas adventure Long ago, Liou Chang wrote of magic, portals—and how to use them both to one's advantage. Now, Shang-Li and his father search for the Shou monk's lost works, desperate to prevent his knowledge from being twisted to evil ends. If in the wrong hands, such knowledge could spell disaster for all of Faerûn. Their quest takes them to the dangers of the high-seas, where they discover a sunken ship beneath the Sea of Fallen Stars—and the dark sorceress who sank it. Allying with the vilest monsters of Faerûn, the Blue Lady wants to expand her empire beneath the waves, overcome the surface, and destroy the enemies who imprisoned her in the deep. And to do so, she will need what Shang-Li and his father seek—the ancient books they are trying so hard to protect from creatures like her. The Wrath of the Blue Lady is the fourth and final installment in The Wilds, a series of standalone novels set in iconic Dungeons & Dragons settings. Magically distorted landscapes, jungle islands teeming with reptilian monsters, wide frontiers touched by another plane, or deep under the surface of the sea–adventure is waiting.
Download or read book Against the Tide written by Cornelia Dean and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1999-05-19 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans love to colonize their beaches. But when storms threaten, high-ticket beachfront construction invariably takes precedence over coastal environmental concerns—we rescue the buildings, not the beaches. As Cornelia Dean explains in Against the Tide, this pattern is leading to the rapid destruction of our coast. But her eloquent account also offers sound advice for salvaging the stretches of pristine American shore that remain. The story begins with the tale of the devastating hurricane that struck Galveston, Texas, in 1900—the deadliest natural disaster in American history, which killed some six thousand people. Misguided residents constructed a wall to prevent another tragedy, but the barrier ruined the beach and ultimately destroyed the town's booming resort business. From harrowing accounts of natural disasters to lucid ecological explanations of natural coastal processes, from reports of human interference and construction on the shore to clear-eyed elucidation of public policy and conservation interests, this book illustrates in rich detail the conflicting interests, short-term responses, and long-range imperatives that have been the hallmarks of America's love affair with her coast. Intriguing observations about America's beaches, past and present, include discussions of Hurricane Andrew's assault on the Gulf Coast, the 1962 northeaster that ravaged one thousand miles of the Atlantic shore, the beleaguered beaches of New Jersey and North Carolina's rapidly vanishing Outer Banks, and the sand-starved coast of southern California. Dean provides dozens of examples of human attempts to tame the ocean—as well as a wealth of lucid descriptions of the ocean's counterattack. Readers will appreciate Against the Tide's painless course in coastal processes and new perspective on the beach.

Download or read book The Hungry Tide written by Amitav Ghosh and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2005 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hungry Tide is a very contemporary story of adventure and unlikely love, identity, and history, set in one of the most fascinating regions on the earth. Off the easternmost coast of India, in the Bay of Bengal, lies the immense labyrinth of tiny islands known as the Sundarbans. For settlers here, life is extremely precarious. Attacks by deadly tigers are common. Unrest and eviction are constant threats. Without warning, at any time, tidal floods rise and surge over the land, leaving devastation in their wake. In this place of vengeful beauty, the lives of three people from different worlds collide. Piya Roy is a young marine biologist, of Indian descent but stubbornly American, in search of a rare, endangered river dolphin. Her journey begins with a disaster, when she is thrown from a boat into crocodile-infested waters. Rescue comes in the form of a young, illiterate fisherman, Fokir. Although they have no language between them, Piya and Fokir are powerfully drawn to each other, sharing an uncanny instinct for the ways of the sea. Piya engages Fokir to help with her research and finds a translator in Kanai Dutt, a businessman from Delhi whose idealistic aunt and uncle are longtime settlers in the Sundarbans. As the three of them launch into the elaborate backwaters, they are drawn unawares into the hidden undercurrents of this isolated world, where political turmoil exacts a personal toll that is every bit as powerful as the ravaging tide. Already an international success, The Hungry Tide is a prophetic novel of remarkable insight, beauty, and humanity.
