A stunning sequel that expands an already vast universe. Withervale burns. After a terrifying encounter with the Red Stag, Lago-Sterjall and the wayfarers venture to Zovaria, but all they find in the Pink Capital is betrayal. Chased by enemies within and without, they take refuge in a land of magical beauty: the Moordusk Dome. A mischievous and seductive caracal prince lurks in the domed land of felids, and he has set his eyes on Lago. But Lago's heart beats to the tune of the mountains, yearning for the lover he was forced to leave behind. The adventurers embark on a search for one of the missing animal spirits, the wise Mamóru. The ancient mammoth may hold the key to unlock the knowledge of the distant past, the only hope to defeat the growing army of the Negian Empire. Like treasure chests waiting to be opened, more domes await, holding within them as many riches as dangers. The wayfarers travel on, in a quest to uncover the very consciousness of nature. Noss is waiting for them. Masks of the Miscam is the second installment of the Noss Saga, an epic LGBTQ+ fantasy series.

Once a staple of American society, military schools are a dying breed, with fewer than thirty remaining. Historically, most military academies existed in the South and along the East Coast. However, Colonel Thomas A. Davis pushed this tradition westward when he founded the San Diego Army and Navy Academy in 1910. Davis pioneered a novel education and leadership training structure for young men that predated the Boy Scouts and JROTC Program. From this single institution sprang the Brown Military Academy, Davis Military Academy, San Diego Military Academy and more. Author Alexander Mui chronicles the endurance of this revered academy through countless trials, wars, economic depressions and the nationwide military school decline until it remained the last traditional military academy west of the Rocky Mountains.
The Complete Tradesman redresses the relative paucity of studies on the history of retailing before 1800. Based upon extensive research into diverse trade sources, Cox takes issue with the surprisingly resilient stereotype of the 'dull' and 'out of date' shopkeeper in the early modern period, showing that the retailing sector was well adapted to the social and economic needs of the day and quick to exploit new opportunities. Chapters cover not only distribution, shop design, customer relations and networks between tradesmen, but also attitudes to retailing, official controls, and the response to novelty. By throwing light on subjects hitherto overlooked and challenging existing whiggish preoccupations with progress towards modern retailing systems, this study signals a new approach to the history of retailing. The focus is placed on assessing how far tradesmen, especially shopkeepers, satisfied and stimulated contemporary desires for consumer goods.
