Born with his family's gift, try as he may, things easily got "heated" when Dean got emotional. So he thought it was best to live with his head down. Nothing would happen if he could keep his head down. He thought things would be less volatile if he hung out with girls. Nothing would go wrong. Lies. All of them. After an attack that almost killed him and his friends, Dean must make a choice. To spend his life with his head buried in the sand or raise his head and look at the world as it is.
The Hour of the Sun asks what would happen if fantastical creatures were real? But instead of being whimsical and friendly they are resentful sociopaths. The core themes deal with power and its influence. The third-person narrative follows two friends. Anna is as straight man as a girl could be and Rachel has a sense of justice so strong that it's a pain for everyone else. We learn about beings of myths that live among us under the rule and protection of the dark lord. As they come of age and navigate this unknown world they must choose their factions and fight for their cause.
"Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty . . . weaves a brilliant analysis of the complex role of dreams and dreaming in Indian religion, philosophy, literature, and art. . . . In her creative hands, enchanting Indian myths and stories illuminate and are illuminated by authors as different as Aeschylus, Plato, Freud, Jung, Kurl Gödel, Thomas Kuhn, Borges, Picasso, Sir Ernst Gombrich, and many others. This richly suggestive book challenges many of our fundamental assumptions about ourselves and our world."—Mark C. Taylor, New York Times Book Review "Dazzling analysis. . . . The book is firm and convincing once you appreciate its central point, which is that in traditional Hindu thought the dream isn't an accident or byway of experience, but rather the locus of epistemology. In its willful confusion of categories, its teasing readiness to blur the line between the imagined and the real, the dream actually embodies the whole problem of knowledge. . . . [O'Flaherty] wants to make your mental flesh creep, and she succeeds."—Mark Caldwell, Village Voice

While grasshopper and locust plagues have decreased recently in North America, they continue unabated in many other parts of the world, including South America, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and western and southern Asia. Similarly, katydids attack cereals, orchards and other cultivated vegetation, and crickets damage tea, coffee and tuber crops among other plants. There have been considerable advances in our knowledge of these groups since other books addressing this subject were published. These other books ...
