The Carver
THE GIRL IN THE RED HOOD has been looking for her mother for six months, searching from the depths of New York’s subways to the heights of its skyscrapers . . .
THE PRINCE looks like he’s from another time entirely, or maybe he’s just too good at his job at Ye Old Renaissance Faire . . .
THE ACTRESS is lighting up Hollywood Boulevard with her spellbinding and strikingly convincing portrayal of a famous fairy. Her name may be big, but her secrets barely fit in one world . . .
Fifteen-year-old Crescenzo never would have believed his father’s carvings were anything more than “stupid toys.” All he knows is a boring life in an ordinary Virginia suburb, from which his mother and his best friend have been missing for years. When his father disappears next, all Crescenzo has left is his goofy neighbor, Pietro, who believes he’s really Peter Pan and that Crescenzo is the son of Pinocchio. What’s more: Pietro insists that they can find their loved ones by looking to the strange collection of wooden figurines Crescenzo’s father left behind.
With Pietro’s help, Crescenzo sets off on an adventure to unite the real life counterparts to his figurines. It’s enough of a shock that they’re actually real, but the night he meets the Girl in the Red Hood, dark truths burst from the past. Suddenly, Crescenzo is tangled in a nightmare where magic mirrors and evil queens rule, and where everyone he loves is running out of time.
The Chinese Sailing Rig - Design and Build Your Own Junk Rig, 3rd Edition
The Clichéist
The Cold Panes of Surfaces
--Emily Schultz, Broken Pencil
The Colonial State: Theory and Practice
The aim in this work is to address, through historical narrativization of some specific moments of colonial state building, the question: What, in theory, are the historical specificities of the ‘colonial’ state as distinct from other state forms? An attempt is made in this book, to weave together the discourse of state theory and the narrative of state practices. This approach is based on the argument that theory was not something out there to guide practice. Empirical evidence suggests a more complex picture of interaction between the two where, within parameters structured by theory, the practice in turn produces and structures theory at each conjuncture.
The Crisis of 1974
This book on the Indian Railway Strike of 1974 looks at the history of the time, the role of the rank and file in the strike, and the fate of the strike itself. Even as one of the most distinctive aspects of the strike was the autonomy of the rank and file, the significance of the struggle had much to do with the nature of the time. The country was in the midst of a general political crisis, sections of the peasantry were in revolt, and there were expressions of solidarity from the industrial working class. However, the strike leadership was not resolute and decisive, and failed the rank and file. In the absence of a political vanguard, the uprising was left without a determined subject.

The Dragonfly Club
The Earl's Childe
My chore after dinner is to feed my kelpie. A kelpie, if you don't know, is a carnivorous faerie horse. Until I accidentally gave him a piece of my soul, this particular kelpie had killed two kids near the hundreds-of-years-old castle my family and I live in. Heather MacArthur had a hard enough time dealing with the arrival of a kelpie into her life, but that was only the beginning. Summoned as liaison between humans and faerie, Heather is informed by the fey nobles that another danger has arrived in the area and is claiming rights to the MacArthur lands: a particularly mad daoine síth named Calbraith, that even the kelpie finds cruel and unusual. As luck would have it, twenty students have also just arrived at the MacArthur family castle for her mother's riding camp. It will take Heather, her whole family, the royal family, and a few friends she didn't realize she had, to keep Calbraith from enslaving--or killing--all of them.

The Field Trip
Anti-conspiratorialist author and lecturer Chasen Derrick has landed a lucrative but highly suspect teaching post at the exclusive Dysart Academy in Southern California. When the dean of students asks him to lead a field trip to England, Chasen reluctantly agrees, and the first few days of the tour go smoothly.
That is, until the mass abduction. The fire. The shootings. And the medieval torture.
Now the FBI, Scotland Yard, MI5, and a five-hundred-year-old secret group known as the Apollo Society are searching the country for Chasen and the only student he’s managed to hold on to: a kid as challenging and obnoxious as King Henry VIII himself.
With a debilitating case of OCD and a panic disorder that threatens to flare up around every British memorial, Chasen is forced to confront his beliefs about conspiracy theories…and his skewed understanding of guilt and forgiveness.
Propelled by plot twists and fast-paced suspense, The Field Trip takes readers on a humorous adventure exploring what is true in a world where things aren’t always as they seem.
The Forlorned
When Tom Doherty first laid eyes on the lighthouse he knew it was damned.
An advertisement lured him to the island, offering a job renovating the old lighthouse and ramshackle buildings. What he didn't know was that he was the only applicant. None of the locals wanted the job – no one dared.
Isolated and alone, Tom soon discovers why. Messages from disembodied voices; ghostly visitations and escalating horrors draw Tom deeper into the island's evil past—a darkness that forces Tom to unbury the truth and bring demons of his own into the light.
The Forlorned will soon be a Motion Picture. More information on the upcoming movie release can be found on IMDb.
The Global Anglican Communion
This volume, endorsed by Anglican bishops and scholars around the world, is important reading for those preparing for the Global Anglican Future Conference in Jerusalem in June 2018 – and for those in other traditions too.
Author Stephen Noll has been a watchman and participant in Anglican affairs over the past quarter century, as a priest and educator in the USA and Uganda. This highly readable anthology of his writings, often written in the heat of the battle, chronicles the departure of the Anglican establishment in North America and England from classic Christian teaching on Scripture, marriage, and church order. Professor Noll concludes:
“I want to commend to readers the vision of a renewed and reformed Global Anglican Communion, a communion of churches that builds on the heritage of the Church of England and represents the emerging leadership of formerly colonial Anglican churches, whereby the oversight of doctrine and discipline has shifted from Canterbury to the Global South.”

The Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is one of the wonders of the world. Its 277-mile length is protected by 1.2 million acres of national park. The walking trails are equally awesome. Many are serious endeavours only for the most experienced trekkers.
The American South-West hosts a profusion of national and state parks and wildernesses. It boasts a seemingly endless variety of deep canyons, deserts high and low, snow-capped mountains and raging rivers. The Grand Canyon is only the largest of these canyons; the smaller Zion and Bryce National Parks are less famous, but lose nothing in comparison.
Come and view this magnificent corner of the United States. Join in touring these parks on foot. Walk the high country of Zion and veer down into the valley from atop its towering red walls. Weave amidst the hoodoos of Bryce and descend into the hidden depths of the Grand Canyon. Walkers can easily steer clear of crowds and enjoy the backcountry in relative isolation.

From the lack of educational support for vegetarianism, to special interest food industry groups, to the biggest myth of all—the protein myth—perpetrated across the media wires today, Dr. Null single-handedly demystifies vegetarianism and tells us precisely what it takes to overcome the numerous psychological, emotional, societal, economic and political roadblocks in order to succeed at this very significant lifestyle choice—one, he notes, that is crucial for humanity’s survival.

The KD Shindig
The novel opens with the wedding of Kristin Nicol and Darren Maundeville in a small, historic cathedral in Northern Ireland. The guests returning to England, the author follows this toxic soup of friends and relatives for a year, opening a window onto the peaks and troughs of their lives: Maggie and Richard Dearlove, a reasonably happily married couple; Joanna Centofani, a self-adoring actress; the green-eyed Rosemary Icthus; the steely Mr. Cameron Scattergood and his antithetic wife, Ruth; the love-loathe duo Johnny Nicol and Charity B. as well as various other interrelated characters. The reader will sympathise, agonise and be antagonised! The dark humour is evident throughout the novel - and although there are some characters who have only one scene within the book, sometimes these are drawn with more verve and wit than many of the others. The timescale is not linear either, sometimes jumping back and dealing with different characters to keep the reader's interest. Plus the underlying story of spying, double-dealing and outright underhandedness definitely makes this story worth a second read. Philip Musson has captured a totally different world from the one that most of us know; from the glamorous couple the reader is introduced to at the beginning of the book, to the self-centred actress whose masterly comeuppance during a talk show is well worth a second read. The other vignettes that form part of the book are equally compelling especially the girl who lobs a snowball into the face of the publisher who has just rejected her script without even reading it. The KD Shindig is just that, a selection of scenes from the main characters lives, some of which the reader returns to, others that only appear once throughout the course of the novel and yet all these individual stories make up the whole flavour of the book which intertwines many stories to make a surprisingly cohesive whole.
The Last Ark
In a vision of things to come, Pope Kefa is given the call to build THE LAST ARK – a series of small survival camps set up in remote areas all around the world.

The Return: A Titan Novel
The Fates are cackling their bony asses off...

He's got to play protector while keeping his hands and fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new assignment might be the most challenging yet.
Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy's deal might be, but it's a good bet that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree.

But it might be the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the golden-eyed, secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing of all.

Lee is drawn to Margot, too, but between her boyfriend who keeps trying to “save” the architectural treasures of old Saint Louis and her daughter, a some-time actress and full-time con artist, Lee has troubles of her own. When Margot’s children ally with a volatile community activist and pledge to tear down Margo’s beloved historic mansion to make way for affordable housing, Margot cuts them out of her will and the battle lines are drawn.

The Secret Behind "The Rape of Nanking": A Spiritual Confession by Iris Chang
IS THE RAPE OF NANKING A BOOK BASED ON FACTS?
China has been rapidly gaining strength in recent years and is about to establish its status as a hegemony. At the same time, the Chinese government is taking the Nanking Massacre up to a whole new level in the international society. In June 2014, the Chinese government filed an application with UNESCO to register the history materials regarding the Nanking Massacre and the comfort women as “Memories of the World.”
The Rape of Nanking, which came out in 1997, is a book that greatly contributed to creating this trend. Due to the book, the term “Nanking Massacre” has recently resurfaced and spread rapidly throughout the world, starting with the United States.
However, The Rape of Nanking has been brought up and argued by many experts as a ludicrous book, from the time it was published. The photos used in the book as records of cruel acts by the Japanese army are all photos that have been taken from elsewhere, completely irrelevant to the Japanese soldiers and Nanking.

The Stone Age
The game of curling has been an intrinsic part of life on the Prairies since the 1800s. The smallest towns are home to a rink, a league, and even a local bonspiel. The Stone Age: A Social History of Curling on the Prairies chronicles the sport's development from a crude game played by fur traders on a frozen river, to the sophisticated Olympic sport it is today. In the early years, curling survived and adapted to a wave of immigration, railway expansion, two World Wars, and a depression, gathering countless fans along the way.
Since the 1950s, curling has experienced an explosion in the number of men, women, juniors, and seniors who have taken up the game - both on the Prairies and across Canada - along with increasingly lucrative bonspiels, intense media coverage, and its share of controversy. The Stone Age looks at this important legacy of success both on and off the ice. It also highlights the careers of curlers such as Bob Dunbar, curling's first superstar, Sylvia Fedoruk, Joyce McKee, Ernie Richardson, Sandra Schmirler, all of whom made vital contributions to the development of the sport.
Thanks to four-time Canadian Women's champion Vera Pezer's long and outstanding involvement in the game, she brings character and colour to The Stone Age, with her personal stories of the events, players, and reporters who brought curling from the Prairies to the world stage.
The Stone Agewill be of interest to curling fans and Prairie history aficionados. It explores the impact of the sport on the cultural and social life of the Canadian Prairies and why it developed in a substantially different direction here than in its native Scotland or even Eastern Canada. More than that, for anyone with a love of the sport and history, The Stone Age provides a purely entertaining read.

The Underground
After destroying the Southeastern System, Vee and her companions make their way north to continue in the fight against The Tax.
Discovering the Union’s war has already reached New England and has left the region destitute and its people on the verge of starvation, Vee joins forces with a group of brilliant inventors who are working to form an independent government below the ruins of New York City. Eager to make amends for what she feels is her fault, Vee will do just about anything to help the city recover from the losses they saw at the hands of her own army.
But when she’s coerced into assassinating the local Master and discovers he’s not at all what she expected, Vee is made to wonder what exactly it is that defines a person as good or bad. Is it who people are that makes them evil, or is it what they do?
With her own morality hanging in the balance, Vee must decide if the path she’s chosen is the right one for the children after all, and, if it is, just how far is she willing to go to see them to freedom?
