Crown of Caphedra
The city of Caphedra long stood as a centre of commerce and a seat of conquest, until the murder of its king sends the land spiraling into a dangerous war of succession. Now, as the power-hungry zealots of a queen race to clash with the army of a prince and his vindictive Lord Marshal, this once grand city faces destruction. Can a nobleman's scheme to champion a tormented princess provide another path, despite her mysterious affliction? And what ancient forces might truly be contesting over the heirs of the royal kingdom? Drawn into the middle, three friends must navigate the perils of duty, devotion, and duplicity before victory can be declared, and the sought-after crown of this crumbling capital awarded. Ian Robert Ross is a fantasy and science fiction author living in Ottawa, Canada. Crown of Caphedra is his first novel-length work of fiction and marks his debut into the world of epic fantasy. It was written to serve as a foundation for his upcoming works to expand upon the Kingdom of Caphedra and the Path of the Four Pillars.
Forgotten Heroes of Comedy
In this long overdue and affectionate salute, celebrated comedy historian Robert Ross pays tribute to some of the finest, funniest and most fascinating names in comedy from both sides of the Atlantic. Monty Python’s Terry Jones wrote the foreword. With the passionate input of such comics as Tim Brooke-Taylor, Hattie Hayridge, Roy Hudd, Michael Palin, Ross Noble, Chris Addison and Bernard Cribbins, Ross honours these legends of humor who, for a variety of reasons, didn't quite reach the heady heights of stardom or, once they had, couldn't cope with the pressures.

Negotiating Cooperation
In the 1970s and 1980s the United States and China developed cooperative relations to enhance security against the USSR. Conventional wisdom claims Washington and Beijing agreed to 'shelve' conflictual issues; where conflict occurred, diplomatic error or domestic politics are blamed. This book shows, however, that US-China cooperation was fragile precisely because of ongoing conflicts, notably that over Taiwan. The author disputes Kissinger's claim that only he and Nixon understood Taiwan's unimportance. China never found the US stance on Taiwan acceptable, and the issue required constant attention. The book shows how the two powers built cooperative relations despite Taiwan. It explains how negotiations were conducted, and why the two powers at times compromised and at times accepted the status quo. It examines why relations on occasion became acrimonious and why the acrimony subsided.--China Review International "Columbia University"
