Reluctant Hero

Someone is taking the Seeded. Can a psychic hacker crack the digital world and unearth the conspiracy before it's too late? The Seed grants extraordinary powers to a select few-the Seeded. For Nekoka-a genius catgirl blessed with multiple Seeded powers, cool tech, and loyal friends-every day is Mardi Gras. But her carefree days in the Big Easy come to an end when her best friends decide to bind their New Orleans Seeded group with rules and duties by going official. Nekoka, a free-range hedonist, rebels against any leash, and she storms off to Portland. She's nobody's hero. But she's soon caught performing heroics when she saves lives in a freeway pileup involving abducted Seeded. As she hacks secure networks about the mysterious incident, she uncovers a sinister plot to gather low-powered Seeded, and she's faced with a choice: confront the sadistic horrors head-on and risk capture, or hightail it to safer pastures. But the situation is critical. If Nekoka leaves, friends and frenemies could die. Journey through the shadows where friendship, sacrifice, and determination forge heroes in the face of impending darkness.

"While vacationing in Egypt Jeanette Walker, a cynical scientist jaded by swarms of tour groups and knick -knack shacks, is lured by a teenage tour guide to visit a newly discovered tomb. No other tourists there! Inside the chamber, she tumbles down a shaft and 3000 years back in time. Now, in a world where deities walk the streets and prophecy heats up the air, Jeanette is desperate for normal and the simple pleasures of sanitation and refrigeration. However, a slave master hawking a cat-headed girl derails her homebound mission, and Jeanette penniless in the ancient world steals the girl, bringing down the tireless fury of the slaver. Saddled with a newly awakened mummy and the cat-headed girl, Jeanette contrives a plan to free them from the slaver's ire, but will she have to dive into the belly of the beast to succeed?"--Page 4 of cover.

Jade legacy

La magica giada, la misteriosa sostanza un tempo prerogativa dei guerrieri Ossa Verdi di Kekon, è ora nota in tutto il mondo. Governi, boss criminali e mercenari vogliono avere accesso ai poteri che conferisce - ma anche atleti, registi cinematografici, medici. La lotta per il controllo della giada si fa così ancora più feroce, e cambierà per sempre i destini della famiglia Kaul e dei guerrieri Ossa Verdi. Sconfitti dalla guerra e da un tragico destino, i Kaul si dibattono tra rancori e antiche ferite mentre i loro avversari diventano ogni giorno più potenti e il paese è lacerato dalle lotte tra fazioni e dalle interferenze straniere. Il clan deve imparare a distinguere gli amici dai nemici, mettere da parte cruente rivalità e compiere terribili sacrifici... Ma anche gli indissolubili legami di sangue e lealtà potrebbero non essere sufficienti a garantire la sopravvivenza dei clan Ossa Verdi e della nazione che hanno giurato di proteggere.

On the island of Kekon, the Kaul family is locked in a violent feud for control of the capital city and the supply of magical jade that endows trained Green Bone warriors with supernatural powers they alone have possessed for hundreds of years. Beyond Kekon's borders, war is brewing. Powerful foreign governments and mercenary criminal kingpins alike turn their eyes on the island nation. Jade, Kekon's most prized resource, could make them rich - or give them the edge they'd need to topple their rivals. Faced with threats on all sides, the Kaul family is forced to form new and dangerous alliances, confront enemies in the darkest streets and the tallest office towers, and put honor aside in order to do whatever it takes to ensure their own survival - and that of all the Green Bones of Kekon. Jade War is the second book of the Green Bone Saga, an epic trilogy about family, honour and those who live and die by the ancient laws of blood and jade.

Signs of Life

In this anthology we see from the point of view of patients, care-givers and family members. Physician and writer Sarah Sasson has curated a collection that is international and unforgettable. In a Californian cafe, a music-lover develops psychosis while drinking green tea. In a Ghanaian paediatric ward, a doctor cares for a boy with kidney disease, while definitive treatments remain out of reach. In Melbourne a mother watches as her son resists being taken to respite care. This is not a book about death and dying. This is a book about life and how we live it. These stories reveal what is truly valued in this world, and speak to the ferocity with which we love.

Academic Well-Being of Racialized Students

Canadian universities have an ongoing history of colonialism and racism in this white-settler society. Racialized students (Indigenous, Black and students of colour), who would once have been forbidden from academic spaces and who still feel out of place, must navigate these repressive structures in their educational journeys. Through the genres of essay, art, poetry and photography, this book examines the experiences of and effects on racialized students in the Canadian academy, while exposing academia’s lack of capacity to promote students’ academic well-being. The book emphasizes the crucial connections that racialized students forge, which transform an otherwise hostile environment into a space of intellectual collaboration, community building and transnational kinship relations. Meticulously curated by Dr. Benita Bunjun, this book is a living example of mentorship, reciprocity and resilience.

Jade City

La giada è la linfa vitale dell'isola di Kekon: estratta, venduta, rubata, e soprattutto usata da secoli dai guerrieri Ossa Verdi come la famiglia Kaul per potenziare le loro abilità marziali e difendere l'isola dagli invasori stranieri. Ormai le guerre sono finite e la nuova generazione di Kaul, a capo del clan Zero Vette, vuole solo proteggere i propri affari e dominare il mercato della giada. È un mondo in rapido cambiamento nel quale le antiche tradizioni d'onore non hanno più posto. E quando spunta una nuova droga che permette a chiunque di maneggiare la giada, la tensione tra il clan Zero Vette e i rivali della Montagna esplode con violenza. È in gioco il destino di tutte le Ossa Verdi, e dell'intera Kekon.
