Isle of Storms
In the wake of a devastating attack, Dragon’s Nest and its newly-proclaimed heroes seek to secure the safety of the weakened town, looking to sea for potential allies. Brought together by circumstance, Jack, Allie, and Tanner join forces once more, traveling to the island of Nisaim off the western coast of Covorum, hoping to secure the aid of the island’s self-proclaimed captain Lenmoir, and to dissuade Lenmoir from any designs he might have on the vulnerable Dragon’s Nest. Nisaim holds more players than the three companions anticipate, however, and even the most promising offer of friendship may be nothing more than a play for dominance of not only Nisaim, but the entire region.
GIDDY
PREFACE Neither our old nest, our shanty house, nor the piece of the picture I drew in the cellar is left. Years take everything away from a person. This is me, who engraved a memory inside me. It is something that neither years nor anything else can remove. As you grow, your memories grow with you, take shape, become more valuable as you grow, and in the end you cannot hold it in your hand. While you think it is just a simple scribble, it becomes the center of your life, in the middle of your chest, everything valuable is deep inside you. Love is a deep pain that no one can name. There are those that are lost in silence as much as those that are written and drawn. The socks I always pull up...

Collaborative Planning in Supply Chains
This book deals with collaborative planning, an approach to supply chain planning which aims to coordinate planning tasks of independent supply chain partners while respecting their local decision authority. It gives an introduction to collaborative planning, shows how it is embedded in the broader subject matter of supply chain management, and reviews findings of related literature. At its core, it provides a step-by-step description of a negotiation-based, practice-oriented approach to collaborative planning at the medium-term level of master planning between two supply-chain partners, a supplier and a single customer. Subsequently, this basic concept is extended to cover supply chains with multiple partners and planning on a rolling basis. Implications of collaborative planning on supply contracts are sketched out, and incentives for cooperative behavior by the supply-chain partners are analyzed by applying concepts of game theory.
The Cult of the Hyper-Worm
Cill was different, that much he knew but of his past he had no memory. While he remained on the farm, herding Bopes, with his friend Balton and his daughter Senya he knew he was safe but the time was rapidly coming when he knew he would have to leave, to head to the city where, perhaps, the answers to the riddle of his life lay. Even if he chose to hide, the time of safety was drawing to a close. Grayheme the rebel had disappeared and the brotherhood scoured the land for any sign of his passage, all the while squeezing the population for heavier and heavier taxes. With a time of census drawing close and the priests threatening to invade his secluded life, Cill new that he would have to face his past, discover the secret of his life and, almost certainly, confront the Cult of the Hyper-Worm.
Stone Mirror
A Turkish farmer finds a large obsidian mirror on top of a mound. How did it get there? What did it mean for its creator, and what does it mean for us? In this teaching novel by writer Rob Swigart, the story toggles back and forth between a Neolithic village—and the changing fortunes of the family who finds this wondrous tool—and modern archaeologists whose excavated treasure stirs journalists, governments, and goddess worshippers alike. Through an engrossing tale across millennia, Swigart’s novel provides both a basic reconstruction of Neolithic lifeways and a primer on contemporary archaeological politics and practice. For archaeology students, and for anyone curious about artifacts past and present, Stone Mirror will be a fun, informative introduction both to archaeology and to the people they study.
