Enter a mysterious world, where words hold a place of high esteem and incredible influence. Whisper Hollow: BELIEVE takes us on a journey of miraculous revelation. Before there were fables or any stories of old, there was the adventure from which all adventures come. One book was created and left unwritten. Believed to possess greater powers than words alone, it was passed down through the ages, inspiring yet twelve more. All were stored in a wooden box dubbed the ?Trunk of Life??guarded by good, desired by evil. All people and faeries alike believed in the power of those books and the need to preserve them for the future so that they would inspire others.
As a 15-year-old, Parvin escaped her home planet of Gods Victorious Warriors, when its repressive government executed the rest of her family. Now living on the planet Universityworld, the former runaway teaches mathematics and is known as Professor Parvin Priddlikachorn. Her husband, Professor Siddithamon Priddikachorn, nicknamed Pretty, teaches planetary geology and hails from the planet Pradang. The couple have a 17-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter. Parvin thinks the time is right to run for office, so she seeks a seat in the third house of a four-house planetary legislature. Her son and his girlfriend help with her campaign, but Pretty tries to discourage his wifes political ambitions. It happens that Parvins home world has a long-standing order of execution out on her. Universityworld is harboring a covert cell of its assassins, The Righteous Fists of God, which is headed by an officer in their planets secret police. One of its crew, Neto, is enrolled as a student, but unknown to everyone is that his professor is the subject of their search. Meanwhile, a controversial figure hopes to win control of the fourth house.

This is the second volume of the widely acclaimed Art of the Cut book published in 2017. This follow-up text expands on its predecessor with wisdom from more than 360 interviews with the world’s best editors (including nearly every Oscar winner from the last 30 years). Because editing is a highly subjective art form, and one that is critical to the success of motion picture storytelling, it requires side-by-side comparisons of the many techniques and solutions used by a wide range of editors from around the world. That is why this book compares and contrasts methodologies from a wide array of diverse voices and organizes that information so that it is easily digested and understood. There ...

The selective formation of bondings between molecules is one of the major challenges in organic chemistry, and the so-called aldol reaction is one of the most important for this purpose. These reactions are a highly useful tool for developing such novel substances as natural products and pharmaceuticals. Likes its highly successful and much appreciated predecessor, "Modern Aldol Reactions", this ready reference provides a systematic overview of methodologies for installing a required configuration during an aldol addition step, but shifts the focus so as to cover the latest developments. As such, it presents a set of brand new tools, including vinylogous Mukaiyama-aldol reactions and substrate-controlled aldol reactions, as well as asymmetric induction in aldol additions. Furthermore, new developments in existing stereoselective aldol additions are described, such as the deployment of supersilyl groups or organocatalyzed aldol additions. All of these methodologies are presented in the context of their deployment in the total synthesis of natural products.
