The Flames of Wrath
I've seen so many lives ended. I have, myself, visited horrors beyond reprieve upon countless souls. I have seen cities of fantasy and ships not unlike boats that fly through the air. I have observed magic in its rawest forms, spoken with ethereal beings, worlds-no, entire solar systems-away. I have stood in the waters of the Lethe and drank its poison. I have betrayed those I loved and committed crimes against nature's balance. I have stood against the Beasts that would tear all life apart, and I have witnessed multi-thousand-year-old dynasties fall. And never once did I imagine that things would turn out quite like they have. But I suppose I should start at the beginning...

A Tiger's Tale
This thoughtful and inventive novel is about a woman who has everything except peace of mind. It traces how she chooses many friends to give her courage and hope to overcome her fear on a road to find peace; two in particular influence her; one is a modern history university lecturer, the other a slightly rebellious but romantic South African. Step by step she finds a way forward on a path, which leads her to South Africa and to the eventual resolution of her problem.At heart this is a romance tinged with sadness: a story of two people searching for and briefly finding love and happiness.

Serials and Series
While many fans remember The Lone Ranger, Ace Drummond and others, fewer focus on the facts that serials had their roots in silent film and that many foreign studios also produced serials, though few made it to the United States. The 471 serials and 100 series (continuing productions without the cliffhanger endings) from the United States and 136 serials and 37 series from other countries are included in this comprehensive reference work. Each entry includes title, country of origin, year, studio, number of episodes, running time or number of reels, episode titles, cast, production credits, and a plot synopsis.
Still Counting the Dead
The tropical island of Sri Lanka is a paradise for tourists, but in 2009 it became a hell for its Tamil minority, as decades of civil war between the Tamil Tiger guerrillas and the government reached its bloody climax. Caught in the crossfire were hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren, doctors, farmers, fishermen, nuns and other civilians. And the government ensured through a strict media blackout that the world was unaware of their suffering. Now, a UN enquiry has called for war-crimes investigations. Those crimes are recounted here to the wider world for the first time in sobering, shattering detail.
The New Irish Studies
The New Irish Studies demonstrates how diverse critical approaches enable a richer understanding of contemporary Irish writing and culture. The early decades of the twenty-first century in Ireland and Northern Ireland have seen an astonishing rate of change, one that reflects the common understanding of the contemporary as a moment of acceleration and flux. This collection tracks how Irish writers have represented the peace and reconciliation process in Northern Ireland, the consequences of the Celtic Tiger economic boom in the Republic, the waning influence of Catholicism, the increased authority of diverse voices, and an altered relationship with Europe. The essays acknowledge the distinctiveness of contemporary Irish literature, reflecting a sense that the local can shed light on the global, even as they reach beyond the limited tropes that have long identified Irish literature. The collection suggests routes forward for Irish Studies, and unsettles presumptions about what constitutes an Irish classic.
The Pursuit of Pleasure
But just as there have been suspicions of the dangers of pleasure, there have also been its supporters who assert its vital and joyful centrality to human experience. The Pursuit of Pleasure favors an agnostic approach borrowed from natural science."--BOOK JACKET.
