Airk Azdajah, the rightful King of the White Clan of dragon shifters, spent half a millennium being tortured by the false High King Pytheios. The only reason he’s alive is a curse: the man who kills Airk will be consumed in his own fire. So Airk was kept alive—barely—and unable to shift in his prison cage, driving the creature half of him into madness. Airk escaped, but he'll never be truly free. Because what good is a king who can never let his feral dragon loose, never fly, and never lead his people? Angelika Amon is the last unmated phoenix. The problem? She has no powers. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Angelika hates being dormant, especially now that her three sisters are blissfully mated to p...
The work of the pioneering figure in British high-tech architecture.
Challenging existing lexical-semantic accounts, this book presents a compositional approach to the concept of factivity and its acquisition. Factive sentences such as 'John forgot that he bought wine' presuppose the truth of the embedded complement. The author argues that a satisfactory characterization of factivity can only be accomplished if its multiple dimensions are acknowledged. A thorough examination of the empirical data demonstrates that factivity, rather than being a property of the matrix predicate, results from the complex interaction of lexical-semantic, syntactic, and discourse-semantic factors. Focusing on English, the predictions of this compositional approach to factivity ar...

Meira Amon is the most reserved of the phoenixes, finding computers easier to deal with than people and their messy emotions. But she wants revenge against the Rotting King Pytheios for the murder of her parents just as much as her sisters. Offering herself as a queen for their ally, dragon shifter King Gorgon of the Black Clan, only makes sense. Just one problem... Samael Veles worked his lowborn ass off to become the fiercest warrior of the Black Clan. He has pledged his life to protect his king at all costs. Yet somehow, in the middle of war, he took one look at a woman in a reflection and gave up his heart. When that woman turns out to be the phoenix promised to mate his king and help bring peace to their kind, he has no choice but to accept it. Until her fire unexpectedly destroys the king after they’ve wed. Now Samael must choose between his loyalty to his clan and protecting the queen who might be his mate from his people’s wrath, one of which will unlock a destiny no one could have ever imagined... Each book in the Inferno Rising series is STANDALONE: * The Rogue King * The Blood King * The Warrior King
In dem vorliegenden Buch wird der Versuch unternommen, einem Phänomen auf die Spur zu kommen, welches im öffentlichen Diskurs bislang gerade einmal als Randthema in Erscheinung tritt, dem Neurolinguistischen Programmieren. Der Autor geht in seinem Buch zum einen der Frage nach, was hinter den drei Buchstaben dieses NLP eigentlich steckt, aber auch, wie dessen stillschweigender Siegeszug, vorbei an den zahlreichen gesellschaftlichen Debatten, zustande kommen konnte. Anhand einiger entscheidender Punkte wird sowohl das manipulative Wesen des NLP offengelegt, als auch seine ideologische Struktur diskutiert und damit der Versuch unternommen, den Bürger für die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit dem NLP zu sensibilisieren und ihn gleichzeitig aufzufordern, in diesem Zusammenhang sowohl seiner Intuition als auch seinem gesunden Menschenverstand zu vertrauen, um die wirkliche Strategie hinter den modernen Kommunikationsmethoden zu erkennen.
