Lyralites
LYRALITES by A. A. Nowlin A. A. Nowlin's LYRALITES: In the Shadows of Evil is a flight of fantasy to a world of unknowns...a world where the two groups of inhabitants--the Lyralites and the Levors--live as mortal enemies and continue the age old saga of 'good versus evil.' While quite similar in appearance, the Lyralites are an amphibious group of cave dwellers living in the waters of Talia; and the Levors cannot exist in the ocean, but live on the land and can fly through the air. This struggle all takes place on a mysterious planet called Dasara, which can only be imagined in the evening sky from Earth. In the year 2025, a group of travelers in a resupply spaceship from Earth are diverted ...

Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity
The Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity brings the ecological turn to sociocultural understandings of self. The editors introduce a broad, insightful assembly of original theory and research on planetary positionalities in flux in the Anthropocene – or what in this Handbook cultural ecologist David Abram presciently renames the Humilocene, a new “epoch of humility.” Forty international authors craft a kaleidoscopic lens, focusing on the following key interdisciplinary inquiries: Part I illuminates identity as always ecocultural, expanding dominant understandings of who we are and how our ways of identifying engender earthly outcomes. Part II examines ways ecocultural identities ...
Technology of Breadmaking
Not another book on breadmaking! A forgiveable reaction given the length of time over which bread has been made and the number of texts which have been written about the subject. To study breadmaking is to realize that, like many other food processes, it is constantly changing as processing methodologies become increasingly more sophisticated, yet at the same time we realize that we are dealing with a food stuff, the forms of which are very traditional. We can, for example, look at ancient illustrations of breads in manuscripts and paintings and recognize prod ucts which we still make today. This contrast of ancient and modern embodied in a single processed foodstuff is part of what makes br...
Os Limites da Renúncia a Direitos Fundamentais nas Relações entre Particulares
DA INTRODUÇÃO 1. Enquadramento do tema Escolhemos para este estudo o tema dos limites da renúncia a direitos fundamentais nas relações entre particulares. Em termos muito gerais, temos como objectivo determinar os limites dentro dos quais o titular de um direito fundamental pode validamente dele dispor, enfraquecendo a sua posição jurídica subjectiva perante outro ente privado. A problemática da renúncia a direitos fundamentais, seja na relação Estado/cidadãos, seja nas relações entre particulares, é um tema com uma grande actualidade, na medida em que contende com uma série de questões controvertidas que hoje se colocam e para as quais não existe (e provavelmente nunca ex...
The Leatherback Turtle
The most comprehensive book ever written on leatherback sea turtles. Weighing as much as 2,000 pounds and reaching lengths of over seven feet, leatherback turtles are the world’s largest reptile. These unusual sea turtles have a thick, pliable shell that helps them to withstand great depths—they can swim more than one thousand meters below the surface in search of food. And what food source sustains these goliaths? Their diet consists almost exclusively of jellyfish, a meal they crisscross the oceans to find. Leatherbacks have been declining in recent decades, and some predict they will be gone by the end of this century. Why? Because of two primary factors: human redevelopment of nestin...
North Arrow
Fiction. These seventeen stories ranging in length from a single paragraph to fifty pages explore issues of voice and silence, identity and its erasure in a style that is often poetic, frequently dark and somber, and occasionally humorous. From many different narrative perspectives, the author offers a jeremiad of sorts, urging readers to examine their own virtues and vices before venerating or condemning others. The title story, for example, describes the difficulties faced by a young woman veterinarian in the Netherlands. Not all of her problems originate with the men she meets who are skeptical about a woman's ability to work with large farm animals. In this bildungsroman of thematic oppo...
