Selected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title
Originally published in 1988. In the decades after 1404, traditionally maritime Venice extended its control over much of northern Italy. Citizens of Vicenza, the first city to come under Venetian rule, proclaimed their city firstborn of Venice and a model for the Venetian Republic's dominions on the terraferma.
In Firstborn of Venice James Grubb tests commonplace attributes of the Renaissance state through a rich case study of society and politics in fifteenth-century Vicenza. Looking at relations between Venetian and local governments and at the location of power in Vicentine society, Grubb reveals the structural limitations of Venetian authority and the mechanisms by which local patricians deflected the claims of the capital. Firstborn of Venice explores issues that are political in the broadest sense: legal institutions and administrative practices, fiscal politics, the consolidation of elites, ecclesiastical management, and the contrasting governing ideologies of ruler and subjects.

Описание:
In this story, the main character (who is known as the Bumbler) gets left behind. He is noticeably very alone and very scared. But he expands his horizon to find one of the most loveliest and supportive friends he could have ever met-a yellow flower (his singing wonder). Throughout the book, the flower encourages the Bumbler to find love within himself and use that power to succeed, to find happiness. Once he does so, they set off into a world of adventure. Another message that this story revolves around is teaching young kids to think differently, not only see differently. Different, in this story, is a positively uplifting concept. All that happens within these pages are meant to make kids believe in one another and themselves.

Описание: Over the eons, an endless struggle between the forces of order and chaos has shaped the world of Azeroth and its inhabitants. The orcish Horde's violent invasion of the Eastern Kingdoms stands as one of history's most tumultuous periods. Through the Burning Legion's demonic machinations, the once-noble orcs were transformed into a nearly unstoppable foe and let loose upon Azeroth's unsuspecting denizens. Yet even in the face of the Horde's unparalleled fury, brave heroes risked everything to rise up in defense of the . . .
Rise of the Horde: Before the savage orcs began their rampage across Azeroth, they were a proud shamanic race native to the world of Draenor. The cunning demon Kil'jaeden saw lethal potential in the clan-based orcs, and thus he set about molding them into the Horde--a single, brutal force driven by an all-consuming thirst for destruction. But the foul demonic magic that granted the Horde its immense strength began consuming the orcs from within, ultimately threatening to destroy everything that they once were.
The Last Guardian: Long ago a group of magi known as the Council of Tirisfal was formed to fight a secret war against the sinister demons of the Burning Legion. To this end, the council imbued a single champion with enormous power to act as the world's guardian. Medivh was one such Guardian of Tirisfal, and he was expected to be the greatest who had ever lived. Yet he was destined to follow a much darker path. From birth a mysterious evil had tainted the core of his being, and his subsequent struggle against the darkness within himself would precipitate the orcish Horde's invasion of Azeroth . . . and change the world forever.
Tides of Darkness: During the First War, the orcish Horde laid waste to the once-great human kingdom of Stormwind. From the ashes of this terrible defeat, however, hope emerged. Anduin Lothar, Champion of Stormwind, rallied the survivors of his ruined homeland and valiantly led them to Lordaeron in the hopes of uniting the human nations into a mighty Alliance that could stand against the Horde and its ruthless new leader, Orgrim Doomhammer. Yet as formidable as Lothar believed the Alliance would be, many humans feared that no force would ever be capable of stopping the Horde's merciless onslaught.
Beyond the Dark Portal: In the aftermath of the Second War between orcs and humans, the Dark Portal, a gateway connecting Azeroth to Draenor, was destroyed. The orcs, however, did not abandon their lust for war. Led by the mysterious orc shaman Ner'zhul, a fresh wave of Horde fighters flooded into Azeroth. Even more unsettling was that small bands of orcs intent on something other than mere conquest began scouring Azeroth for powerful artifacts desired by their sinister leader. To counter the Horde's dark schemes, only one option remained for the Alliance: a suicide mission into the orcs' ruined homeworld of Draenor.

Описание:
Trinity Academy, one of the best career schools in the United Planets, is set up with three programs of training-it is one of a kind. But some say the school has forgotten its past and the foundation it was built on. Now, for the first time in many generations, a student from each of the three founding families will enter school at the same time. They do not know each other at first; however, something or someone will draw them together to save the academy. Aurora does not want to go to the Trinity Academy even if they now allow girls in the protector program, but when her dad is kidnaped, her mom sends her there anyway. Not fitting in with the other protectors, Aurora finds a princess and a knight to be friends with. Just like her, they too seem not to fit in earning them the name of the "Odd Ones." Aurora and her friends do not mind the name until strange things start to happen at the academy, and they are blamed for it. After the start of the school year, Aurora is handed a letter from her dad that he was in the middle of writing when he was kidnapped. In the letter, Aurora is told about a secret that is hidden in a labyrinth. Aurora's dad tells her that she needs to find the labyrinth in order to protect the Trinity Academy. Aurora and her new friends, along with their creatures, go out to find what the labyrinth holds. Even if the labyrinth holds the key to saving the academy, the friends will have to navigate both tunnels and portals to find the truth. Aurora and her friends will also have their academic classes to study for as well as withstanding the attacks that threaten everyone on the planet and have left some students brutally wounded.
