The Veil of Darkness Drops...
In this riveting third installment of the epic adventure of the Quest of the Staff and the Sword Saga, Luke has destroyed his nemesis, the hooded man. Luke tightens his grip on his kingdom, while a division threatens to tear at the fabric of hope in Quoin Ataraxis. Millions of half-dead soldiers, whom Luke raised from the dead, ensure that Luke's power will grow, with seemingly no one to stop him. Luke entices his people to worship, celebrate, and serve him. But just as Luke's power seems unstoppable, a mysterious stranger steps out of the shadows, confounding Luke's plans. With his frustration growing, Luke journeys to search out allies in his battle against enemies of his kingdom. Luke retrieves thousands of scrolls and tablets, hidden in an ancient tower. These scrolls reveal dark secrets forgotten long ago. His castle rests upon the richest source of darkness, from which the darkest of weapons are forged. The scrolls reveal designs to build these dark weapons. With the help of these scrolls, Luke is able to summon warriors out of long-forgotten dark chasms, achieve powers of sorcery the world has never known, and establish his throne as Dark Lord in The Dark Kingdom.

Описание:
Despite high degrees of cultural and ethnic diversity as well as prevailing political instability, Guinea-Bissau’s population has developed a strong sense of national belonging. By examining both contemporary and historical perspectives, A Creole Nation explores how creole identity, culture, and political leaders have influenced postcolonial nation-building processes in Guinea-Bissau, and the ways in which the phenomenon of cultural creolization results in the emergence of new identities.

Описание: "With its provocative title, Jack Kohl has composed a highly nuanced novel and thriller. In it, one reads of the conflicts, perils, devotion, strength, and yes, joy of contemplating a career as a concert pianist. Mr. Kohl has certainly grappled with the inner life of an aspiring pianist, in which all of us can relate."
-David Dubal, faculty, the Juilliard School, WQXR host, and author of The Essential Canon of Classical Music and The Art of the Piano
On a cold dark night in early March 1970, two boats are discovered tied to a pier and bobbing gently in the still waters that ebb and flow between the separate coasts of Connecticut and the north shore of Long Island, New York. Aboard one of the seemingly abandoned boats, its engine still running, are found two healthy baby boys-and three corpses. What strange music of life gave birth to this bizarre piece of business? And what is it that finally-and perhaps fatally-leads to the separation between the two young boys as they grow from adolescence into adulthood? These, and many other questions, will provide ample accompaniment to readers of Jack Kohl's mysterious debut novel, That Iron String.
Named in honor of the New England towns from where their families hailed, Portsmouth ("Port" for short) Gourd has not seen his cousin, Boston, for several years. While both have grown into well-trained classical pianists with the high stress of various regional music competitions in common, the wayward Boston has emerged over time as the flashier and more prodigious player of the two. Port has remained in the small town of Pauktaug, traveling by train to Manhattan in order to attain a master's degree in classical piano.
Life with Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle Harry is comfortable if not predictable, but something is missing. Then comes the day when, at the Gourd's three-floor suburban home that serves also as a funeral parlor, a disassembled grand piano arrives by delivery truck-along with the news that Boston is finally returning home. Weeks go by, though, and he does not arrive. All that does arrive are a series of mailed letters-all unread by Port, until the night when his recently-divorced high school crush reappears in his life and feelings long thought dead are reawakened. What transpires will both bemuse and astound readers, as the battle between life and music becomes a wrestle between love and death.
The first novel by a professional pianist in his own right, That Iron String resounds masterfully between the known and unknown, the sacred and profane, the comedic and tragic, the present ... and the past.
Описание: A landmark global history that makes us rethink how the Cold War ended and our present era was born
This book offers a bold new interpretation of the revolutions of 1989, showing how a new world order was forged--without major conflict. Based on extensive archival research, Kristina Spohr attributes this in large measure to determined diplomacy by a handful of international leaders, who engaged in tough but cooperative negotiation to reinvent the institutions of the Cold War. She offers a major reappraisal of George H. W. Bush and innovative assessments of Mikhail Gorbachev and Helmut Kohl, as well as Margaret Thatcher and Fran ois Mitterrand. But, she argues, Europe's transformation must be understood in global context. By contrasting events in Berlin and Moscow with the brutal suppression of the pro-democracy movement in Beijing, the book reveals how Deng Xiaoping pushed through China's very different Communist reinvention. Here is an authoritative yet highly readable exploration of the crucial hinge years of 1989-1992 and their consequences for today's world.

Описание:
In this compelling and comprehensive look at the rise of Evo Morales and Bolivia’s Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS), Linda Farthing and Benjamin Kohl offer a thoughtful evaluation of the transformations ushered in by the western hemisphere’s first contemporary indigenous president. Accessible to all readers, Evo’s Bolivia not only charts Evo’s rise to power but also offers a history of and context for the MAS revolution’s place in the rising “pink tide” of the political left. Farthing and Kohl examine the many social movements whose agendas have set the political climate in Bolivia and describe the difficult conditions the administration inherited. They evaluate the results of Evo’s policies by examining a variety of measures, including poverty; health care and education reform; natural resources and development; and women’s, indigenous, and minority rights. Weighing the positive with the negative, the authors offer a balanced assessment of the results and shortcomings of the first six years of the Morales administration.
At the heart of this book are the voices of Bolivians themselves. Farthing and Kohl interviewed women and men in government, in social movements, and on the streets throughout the country, and their diverse backgrounds and experiences offer a multidimensional view of the administration and its progress so far. Ultimately the “process of change” Evo promised is exactly that: an ongoing and complicated process, yet an important example of development in a globalized world.
