A Fistful Of Sky

Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comThe LaZelle family of southern California has a secret: they can do magic. Real magic. As a teenager, a LaZelle undergoes `the Transition`--a severe illness that will either kill him or leave him with magical powers. If he`s lucky, he gains a talent like shape-changing or wish-granting. If he`s unlucky, he never experiences Transition. If he`s especially unlucky, he undergoes Transition late, which increases his chances of dying. And if he survives, he will bear the burden of a dark, dangerous magic: the ability to cast only curses. And curse he must, for when a LaZelle doesn`t use his magic, it kills him. In Nina Kiriki Hoffman`s A Fistful of Sky , Gypsum LaZelle is unique among her brothers and sisters: she has not undergone Transition. She resigns herself to a mundane, magic-bereft existence as a college student. Then one weekend, when her family leaves her home alone, she becomes gravely ill… --Cynthia Ward Book DescriptionGypsum LaZelle is the middle… [detailed...]

Questions such as these are integral to the work of writer Kuroshima Denji (1898-1943), one of modern Japan?s most dedicated antimilitarist intellectuals. Best known for his Siberian stories of the late 1920s?vivid descriptions of agonies suffered by Japanese soldiers and Russian civilians during Japan?s invasion of the newly emerged Soviet Union?Kuroshima also wrote powerful narratives dealing with the hardships, struggles, and rare triumphs of Japanese peasants. His only full-length novel, a shocking description of economic and military aggression against China, is superbly translated here as Militarized Streets. This volume makes much of Kuroshima?s most highly acclaimed work available for the first time in English. [detailed...]

A Fool`s Guide To Landlording

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionYou have to be a cold hearted SOB to be a successful landlord. Find out what happens to a naive, kind hearted couple that entered this shark den with all the right intentions, only to be bloodied and battered by manipulative, devious tenants. Written in a witty, comical tone, the book provides lots of practical, useful advice for people interested in entering this business. However, plenty of warnings are given, as are outright pleas for you to `stay away`. Fully a quarter of thetext is devoted to `laugh out loud`, true horror stories that make for a great read, regardless of your interest in rental property. All the other books in this genre are generally positive on being a landlord, and many merely suffice to sell the author?s ideas or training materials. This book is not trying to sell any such thing. Instead, this text seeks to entertain, inform, and tell the truth about managing rental property. And the truth is frightening. [detailed...]

Paddy Ashdown
A Fortunate Life

Description: No other British political leader of the postwar generation has led a life as varied, adventurous, and dramatic as Paddy Ashdown. He has been an officer in the Royal Marine Commandos, a diplomat, an MP and leader of his party, and an international peacemaker in war-torn Bosnia. In this sprawling autobiography that addresses his years in politics, he writes with authority about topics as diverse as tracking down infiltrating Indonesian forces in the jungles of Sarawak, landing a raiding party from a submerged submarine, the difficulties of learning Chinese, negotiating with Tony Blair, and bringing stability to a country wracked by civil war. While deadly serious when discussing his family, his country, his party, and the Bosnian people, Ashdown also has a refreshing gift for self-deprecating wit and has wealth of anecdotes. This is the self-portrait of a man who has lived life to the fullest for the benefit of a nation. [detailed...]

Known for depicting alienation, frustration, and the victimization of the individual by impenetrable bureaucracies, his works have given rise to the term `Kafkaesque,` which people use to describe similar situations in their own lives. Although his influence has been enormous and he has secured a lasting place in contemporary culture, his writings often are inscrutable, especially for readers approaching them for the first time. Designed for undergraduates, specialists, and general readers, this encyclopedia details his life and works. Included are more than 800 alphabetically arranged entries on his works, characters, themes, family members, acquaintances, and other topics, such as: Abraham, Absurd, Animals, Bureaucracy, Colonialism, Death, Don Quixote, Sigmund Freud, Guilt, Irony, … [detailed...]

A Free Nation Deep in Debt: The Financial Roots of Democracy

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: For the greater part of recorded history the most successful and powerful states were autocracies, yet now the world is increasingly dominated by democracies. In A Free Nation Deep in Debt , James Macdonald provides a novel answer for how and why this political transformation occurred. The pressures of war finance led ancient states to store up treasure, and treasure accumulation invariably favored autocratic states. But when the art of public borrowing was developed by the city-states of medieval Italy as a democratic alternative to the treasure chest, the balance of power tipped. From that point on, the pressures of war favored states with the greatest public creditworthiness, and the most creditworthy states were invariably those in which the people who provided the money also controlled the government. Democracy had found a secret weapon and the era of the citizen creditor was born. Macdonald unfolds this tale in a sweeping history that starts in biblical times, passes… [detailed...]
