the battle reaches its stunning conclusion in this final volume of the tir Alainn trilogy. With the eastern barons under his control and a growing army of black-cloaked torturers, Adolfo is headed toward the Mother's Hills - the wellspring of magic in Sylvalan, as well as home to the reclusive witches of the House of Gaian.

Dancing to a Different Rhythm
Despite many volumes being written about South Africans involved in the struggle for democracy, few are first-hand accounts by the women who stood side by side with their men on the front lines. This book is a woman’s perspective on what life was like in the struggle as she simultaneously raised a family and pursued a career, while striving to retain an identity of her own. Zarina Maharaj’s story takes us from her childhood in Johannesburg, which set the tone for the rest of her unconventional life, to self-imposed exile in London, Mozambique and Zambia.

The Power of the Actor
In The Power of the Actor, a Los Angeles Times bestseller, premier acting teacher and coach Ivana Chubbuck reveals her cutting-edge technique, which has launched some of the most successful acting careers in Hollywood. The first book from the instructor who has taught Charlize Theron, Brad Pitt, Elisabeth Shue, Djimon Hounsou, and Halle Berry, The Power of the Actor guides you to dynamic and effective results. For many of today’s major talents, the Chubbuck Technique is the leading edge of acting for the twenty-first century. Ivana Chubbuck has developed a curriculum that takes the theories of the acting masters, such as Stanislavski, Meisner, and Hagen, to the next step by utilizing inner pain and emotions, not as an end in itself, but rather as a way to drive and win a goal. In addition to the powerful twelve-step process, the book takes well-known scripts, both classic and contemporary, and demonstrates how to precisely apply Chubbuck’s script-analysis process. The Power of the Actor is filled with fascinating and inspiring behind-the-scenes accounts of how noted actors have mastered their craft and have accomplished success in such a difficult and competitive field.

Ilusão
"Uma história contemporânea, cheia de humor. Jorge é uma espécie de actor que vive de expedientes (anúncios, dobragens, figuração), à espera da sua oportunidade; o grupo de teatro a que pertence não se entende sobre o próximo projecto. Quando a mulher, uma professora de Português profundamente deprimida, entra em furor pedagógico, abre espaço e põe em marcha uma série de acontecimentos que terão para Jorge a importância de uma única, ténue revelação. Esta é a história de uma separação, mas também de uma paixão obsessiva, de uma viagem patética, de um projecto que corre bem demais, e de outras peripécias. Ilusão (ou o que quiserem) é um romance satírico sobre um homem à procura da realidade, no meio de tantos, tantos fantasmas, vozes sem corpo, corpos sem voz, e da multidão de desconhecidos que faz parte da nossa vida de todos os dias."
