His treacherous guardian schemes to get his hands on the stone, and those Filippo meets on his way are prepared to kill for it. Always a breath away from disaster, Filippo travels from Venice to Hindustan, but will he be in timeto find his father alive?

The Blood of Kings: Dynasty and Ritual in Maya Art

1992 y.
Publisher: George Braziller
Description: Though Maya script, symbolism, and mythology are not yet fully understood, research from the last 25 years is showing that the Maya, once seen as `simple` peaceful people, are now thought to have lived in rival city-states waging war to capture prisoners who were often sacrificed to enhance the power of rulers. This exhibition catalog is organized along eight themes that recur in Maya art. The 123 spectacular color plates, along with black-and-white photographs and 200 drawings, are intimately bound to the text: they are the pictorial representations of the sacred objects and places that imbued Maya political and religious life with meaning. The authors have built on important recent research to shed new light on the Maya code and symbolism, this is an important contribution to our understanding of the Classic Maya.

Everyone she gets close to seems to sicken or die. Doctor Phillips has a theory: the blood of the vampire flows through Harriet`s veins, and she is draining the life out of those she loves. Are the misfortunes that seem to follow Harriet merely coincidence? Or is she really afflicted with the curse of the vampire? One of the strangest novels by the prolific Florence Marryat, `The Blood of the Vampire` was the `other vampire novel` of 1897, appearing the same year as Dracula. Marryat`s novel is fascinating not only for its sensational plot and bizarre characters, but also because of its engagement with many of the issues that hauntedЕ [detailed...]

Description: Turning conventional wisdom on its head, The Blue Way shows why socially progressive companies that make political contributions to `blue` politicians and causes outperform `red` companies.The idea that progressives are better at businesses than conservatives will surprise most people - including many progressives. But as The Blue Way shows, in nearly every sector of the economy, blue companies are the top performers. As a result, an investor who places his money in stocks of blue companies will do better than one who chooses red companies or who chooses to invest in the market as a whole. In The Blue Way, Daniel Adamson and Joe Andrew, cofounders of Blue Investment Management, identify the companies that have the most progressive social values - fair wages, equal opportunity, environmental responsibility - and also contribute to progressive political causes (or are at least neutral). They describe the portfolio they have built around those companies, which to date has out-performedЕ [detailed...]
