Predatory Practices
WHAT'S A CAT GOTTA DO TO MAKE SOME CASH AROUND HERE? When the K'Nes finally overthrew their human occupiers six months ago, it should have been a new chapter in the life of businesscat Miao K'Rrowr K'Heth... but since then, he's been demoted, swindled out of his savings, and lost the love of his life. Heth is determined to get it all back, and soon... but high reward means high risk. Desperate enough to take the most dangerous smuggling jobs, wheeling and dealing his way through human space, Heth is reluctantly drawn into the three-way civil war raging among the humans - a war that threatens to spill over onto the K'Nes, a species of hyper-capitalistic floating felines who just want to be left alone to make money. With war raging outside and troubling corporate conspiracies vying for power within K'Nes society, does this little cat have what it takes to save his species, get the girl, and make some cash on the side? Stocks will rise, bullets will fly, and empires will fall before his predatory practices are through.
The Tcholla

After a single day on Houkura, Finn, Danika and Robb discover a world of magic and unheard of mystical creatures.Their confrontation with the dark mage Boltza made them realise that it was more important to bring Boltza to justice for Arcken and Gryff than to try to find a way back to Earth. But before they can seek help from the Ryder People, Gredat succumbs to the Catarbie illness, and the Lousham make a sudden appearance, at Finn's expense. Without prior experience dealing with evil magic wielders, the group realises that their only chance of defeating the dark mage lies with the help of the Tcholla. Elsewhere on Houkura, Tarheen believes he killed his parents. Enduring various forms of torture from an unknown sadistic dark mage, he is unaware that Krysta and Zoltan have survived and are tracking him.

Fife
Fife's most famous buildings include Dunfermline Abbey, with its sturdy Norman nave; St Andrews cathedral, the focus of the old University town on the North Sea coast; the foursquare post-Reformation kirk at Burntisland; the palace of Falkland, where James V became Britain's first patron of Renaissance architecture on the grand scale; and the little royal burghs along the coastal fringe, each with its harbour and its strings of vernacular houses presided over by the kirk and tollbooth. Cupar, at the centre of Fife's long peninsula, is the seat of local government and one of the most charming and prosperous of Scottish towns. Less well known are Fife's tower houses like Scotstarvit, the old seaboard castles of St Andrews and Ravenscraig, the picturesque Balgonie Castle and the thoroughly domesticated Kellie Castle. Of Fife's churches one of the most beautiful is Dairsie; and three centuries of inventive design in burial monuments come to an unexpected climax in a work by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in the MacDuff cemetery, East Wemyss.
From Slavery to Agrarian Capitalism in the Cotton Plantation South
Reidy has produced one of the most thoughtful treatments to date of a critical moment in southern history, placing the social transformation of the South in the context of 'the age of capital' and the changes in the markets, ideologies, etc. of the Atlantic world system. Better than anyone perhaps, Reidy has elaborated both the large and small narratives of this development, connecting global forces with the initiatives and reactions of ordinary southerners, black and white.--Thomas C. Holt, University of Chicago "Joseph Reidy's detailed analysis of social and economic developments in central Georgia during and after slavery will take its place among the standard works on these subjects. Its discussions of the expansion of the cotton kingdom and of the changes after emancipation make it necessary reading for all concerned with southern and African-American history.--Stanley Engerman, University of Rochester "Successfully places the experience of one region's people into the larger theoretical context of world capitalist development and in the process challenges other scholars to do the same.--Rural Sociology

Each dark poem reveals a new horrifying dream-vision, each filled with Lovecraft’s signature blend of cosmic horror and alienation. Also included is Lovecraft's incomplete short story "The Book", where he tried to translate this weird poetry cycle into prose—but, unfortunately, never finished.
Bel Air
