Gregor ja salaisuuksien merkit
Nälkäpelin tekijän fantasiasarjan loppuhuipennus lähenee! Gregor ja kuningatar Luxa joutuvat sotaan, jossa on vaikea tietää, kuka on vilpitön ystävä ja kuka vaarallinen vihollinen. Suzanne Collinsin fantasiasarjan neljännessä osassa nuori Gregor sotkeutuu yhä syvemmälle New Yorkin alla sijaitsevan Alismaan kriisiin, kun hän ryhtyy kuningatar Luxan kanssa selvittämään uhkaavaa tilannetta. Yhdessä Gregorin pikkusiskon Bootsin kanssa he lähtevät jälleen vaaralliselle matkalle halki luolavaltakunnan, ja Gregorilla on syytä pelätä, etteivät he pääse enää koskaan kotiinsa Ylismaahan. Kun karmea totuus paljastuu, Gregor joutuu näyttämään todelliset kykynsä Alismaan sankarina. Yhdysvaltalainen Suzanne Collins (s. 1962) on aikamme suosituimpia nuortenkirjailijoita. Nälkäpeli-sarjallaan superbestseller-luokkaan nousseen Collinsin kirjoja on myyty yli 80 miljoonaa kappaletta 51 eri kielellä. Viimeinen Nälkäpeli-elokuva Matkijanärhi 2 saa ensi-iltansa syksyllä 2015.
Gregor ja Alismaan vitsaus
Alismaa New Yorkin alla kutsuu jälleen soturiaan. Jo kahdesta ennustuksesta hengissä selvinnyt Gregor ei henno jättää regalialaisia ystäviään pulaan, vaikka joutuukin tällä kertaa ottamaan mukaan paitsi pikkusiskonsa Bootsin myös äitinsä. Kaupunkilaisia ja muita elollisia, joiden suonissa veri virtaa, uhkaa tappava paiserutto. Ennustuksen mukaan Gregorin on retkikuntineen antauduttava vaaroja vilisevään seikkailuun, joka vie kadonneiden ystävien ja Alismaan kansoja jäytävän sodan syiden jäljille. Mutta osoittautuuko huimapäinen retki turhaksi? Piileekö kryptisen ennustuksen ratkaisu aivan silmien edessä? Nälkäpeli-trilogiallaan huikeaan maailmanmaineeseen ampaisseen ...
Rebel Girls
Visit theUnspun website which includes Table of Contents and the Introduction. The World Wide Web has cut a wide path through our daily lives.

The Kennamer Family (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The Kennamer Family Elbert P. Cantrell, of Gastonia, North Carolina, a great grandson of Noah Kennemur, says: I have been told that Noah Kennemur came from Holland. He used his old Dutch Bible and hymn book. Noah Kennemur had three unmarried daughters, two of whom lived to a good old age. I was at their home near Greenville, South Carolina, in 1878, and they showed me the old Dutch Bible and hymn book used by their father and mother. Larkin H. Kenne mur, a great-grandson of Noah Kennemur, writes that he (noah) came across the waters with a brother, and that they got separated somehow and lost trace of each other. Probably his brother settled in Alabama. About the Publisher Forgo...

Architecture in Words
What if the house you are about to enter was built with the confessed purpose of seducing you, of creating various sensations destined to touch your soul and make you reflect on who you are? Could architecture have such power? This was the assumption of generations of architects at the beginning of modernity. Exploring the role of theatre and fiction in defining character in architecture, Louise Pelletier examines how architecture developed to express political and social intent. Applying this to the modern day, Pelletier considers how architects can learn from these eighteenth century attitudes in order to restore architecture's communicative dimension. Through an in-depth and interdisciplinary analysis of the beginning of modernity, Louise Pelletier encourages today's architects to consider the political and linguistic implications of their tools. Combining theory, historical studies and research, Architecture in Words will provoke thought and enrich the work of any architect.
Rethinking Time
Questions about the temporality and historicity of knowledge have gained new urgency in the human sciences in recent decades. New modes of critical theorizing, coupled with a reshaping of the historical space of Western culture following the unification of Europe and intensified political and technological globalization, have highlighted the necessity of understanding the formation of historical consciousness from new angles. The "uses of history," the commodification of the past, the pathologies of memory, the chronological framework of historical narrative, and the technological forms of representing and maintaining tradition all now require cross-disciplinary interpretation. This volume g...
Gender and Authority across Disciplines, Space and Time
This edited collection investigates the relationship between gender and authority across geographical contexts, periods and fields.
