Good-Bye, Lover
All she ever desired was to play her fiddle . . . But her love of music may cost her everything. In 1880, seventeen-year-old Honora (Nora) Gallagher captivates Ireland's attention when news of her father's untimely and tragic death spreads across the countryside. According to her father's will, Nora must now find and marry a suitor within a year if she is to inherit her family's estate, Kings Castle, or be forced to hand it over to a distant and unfamiliar cousin. Distraught, Nora must now choose between following her dream of studying music in Dublin or saving her beloved home through a rushed marriage. The combination of her father's mysterious death, missing family money, and an abrupt end to the castle's Fair Day program leads Nora to question the motives of people she once trusted. Nora quickly realizes there is only one solution to such a tangled mess: sacrifice. Nora is forced to choose—will she remain loyal to her father and the servants who are counting on her or will she follow her heart and chase her dream?
Information Cultures in the Digital Age
For several decades Rafael Capurro has been at the forefront of defining the relationship between information and modernity through both phenomenological and ethical formulations. In exploring both of these themes Capurro has re-vivified the transcultural and intercultural expressions of how we bring an understanding of information to bear on scientific knowledge production and intermediation. Capurro has long stressed the need to look deeply into how we contextualize the information problems that scientific society creates for us and to re-incorporate a pragmatic dimension into our response that provides a balance to the cognitive turn in information science.

Two Sagas of Mythical Heroes
Inherited through the line of the berserker Angantýr and his war-loving daughter Hervor, the ever-lethal, shining sword Tyrfing and its changes of hands frame the uncanny story of The Saga of Hervor and Heiđrek. A second heroic saga, Hrólf Kraki and His Champions, recounts the daring deeds of the members and entourage of the ancient Danish house of Skjoldung. Passed down orally in pre-Christian Norse times, transmitted in writing in medieval Iceland, and here wielded by the hand of Jackson Crawford, the tales told in this volume retain their sharp edges and flashes of glory that never fail to slay.

The 2$ Spring
Victor Peters is back with another spell bound story set in the exotic backgrounds of China and the Middle East. Once again Peters plays in the playground of the ultra rich and powerful people of various continents where people of all races, creed and social level fight for ultimate power. This is a story of an International global power game and revenge, of economic maneuvers in order to gain that little edge over the competition and of political bickering and infighting that more often than not leads to cataclysmic events. The author has a unique gift of capturing the twists and ironies of fate. His insights into the ambitions and passions of his characters are brilliant. The girls are gorgeous and ready to protect Peters, some for love and others for selfish motives.
The 2 $ Spring
In the duration of a hot Summer in Europe, Victor Peters, out of sheer boredom, will engage in a slew of new adventures that will span the World from Beijing, Hong Kong, Tripoli, Geneva, Paris, Munich, Frankfurt to Washington, New York and other International locations. As in the first book of the series, The Crash of the Rising Sun, this new book comes in two parts and shed some light on some World events that took place around that time. This is a work of fiction loosely based on some Historical events.
Mourning Become...
This work demonstrates that much of what we have traditionally understood about concentration camps run by the British during the South African War originates with the testimony solicited from Boer proto-nationalist circles. Using detailed archival evidence, Stanley shows that much of the history of the camps results from a deliberate imposition of "post/memory"--a process by which "memory" shapes and supports a racialized nationalist framework.

The Scope of Information Ethics
The field of information ethics (IE)--a subdivision of ethics--was developed during the 1980s, originating and maturing in library science and slowly working its way into other disciplines and practical applications. Some years later, a secondary field emerged, emphasizing theoretical and philosophical concepts, with little focus on real-world applicability. The first of its kind, this comprehensive overview of IE evaluates the production, dissemination, storage, accessing and retrieval of information in an ethical context in areas including the humanities, sciences, medicine and business. A leading figure in the field, the author is concerned with misconduct (falsification, fabrication, plagiary), peer review, the law, privacy, imaging and robotics, among other matters.
