A century since the monarchy was overthrown the country of Albiyon has become a haven for its citizens, the young scholar Adairia included. Raised within the Albiyan university's walls she has dedicated her life to the pursuit of knowledge. Preferring to hole up in the library than seek adventure elsewhere, she has grown accustomed to her comfortable routine... until the day everything changes. When she unwittingly awakens a sleeping dragon's egg, Adairia is thrust into unfamiliar territory. Never having dreamed of dragons she is forced to seek out guidance from the exhilarating Isla, last direct descendent of the royal family and companion to a century's old dragon. Together they must navigate the surprises to come; for beyond the prospect of a new-born dragon Albiyon is about to face a dangerous conspiracy that threatens the peace of their realm.
Flames of Albiyon is a story of friendship, love, and acceptance that celebrates queer identity.

2017 Choice Outstanding Academic Title
In People of the Saltwater, Charles R. Menzies explores the history of an ancient Tsimshian community, focusing on the people and their enduring place in the modern world. The Gitxaa?a Nation has called the rugged north coast of British Columbia home for millennia, proudly maintaining its territory and traditional way of life.
People of the Saltwater first outlines the social and political relations that constitute Gitxaa?a society. Although these traditionalist relations have undergone change, they have endured through colonialism and the emergence of the industrial capitalist economy. It is of fundamental importance to this society to link its past to its present in all spheres of life, from its understanding of its hereditary leaders to the continuance of its ancient ceremonies.
Menzies then turns to a discussion of an economy based on natural-resource extraction by examining fisheries and their central importance to the Gitxaa?as’ cultural roots. Not only do these fisheries support the Gitxaa?a Nation economically, but they also serve as a source of distinct cultural identity. Menzies’s firsthand account describes the group’s place within cultural anthropology and the importance of its lifeways, traditions, and histories in nontraditional society today.
In 'ENCRYPTED' the author explores how God communicates to individuals in ways that only the individual desired for the message, gets it. He looks at how the individual can also communicate to God in a manner that only God understands, no matter whom else hears what is being said. In exploring this philosophy, the writer brings out numerous interesting arguments and discusses several Christian principles. Some of such principles have been misunderstood by many, some undervalued and yet some that have been taboo in some religious circles over the years. The book shares many provoking thoughts that will enrich the lives of its readers. It is a good read, written in simple language. E. G. Menzies uses contemporary, often relatable illustrations to bring across his points. The author intermingles technological, scientific and biblical concepts to show validity of his explanations. It is a fresh approach that makes one often go, ummh
Among the many topics discussed are those about prior association (everything we do has prior influence), there is nothing new under the sun and the epitome of every human concept has already been established by God. He shows stark examples of how some of the concepts we see arising today, such as the GPS, are based on principles already in place by God. He argues that as we create and build in this world, we are subconsciously seeking to advance a model here, of what our spirit knows already exist. The book also deals with the gift of tongues and its intended unique purpose. Speaking in tongues is a practice frowned upon by many over the years. The discussion of the gift in 'Encrypted' brings new light to its appreciable worth. The author shows that language, whichever one examined, has always had the handicap of limited scope for precise expression. He shows how speaking in tongues removes this encumbrance when communicating with God.
Encrypted explores God's power and the favor we have to be chosen by him, what it means to be God's elect. It explains in depth the significance of Christ as the word (logos), the power of words and how we can become like Christ, word. In doing so, it gives a powerful account of what it means to be born again. It discusses faith in a vivid, practical and comprehendible manner so compelling, it is hard not to see that one has a measure of faith and to feel encouraged to use it.
The book is well formatted to assist the reader to capture noteworthy points. Revision or summarizing a chapter is assisted by end of chapter notes called nuggets. 'Encrypted' is a well-written spiritual growth guide with no fluff.

Описание: The dread of death is a problem nearly as old as time itself. Our awareness of our own mortality has been famously referred to by William James as 'the worm at the core' of human existence, lingering in the shadows of our daily lives. It is something we must all grapple with. Yet, increasing scientific evidence suggests that 'death anxiety' may lie at the heart of a multitude of mental health conditions, driving numerous clinically-relevant behaviours. What can we learn about confronting mortality from the tales of individuals who have been gripped by mental illness and the dread of death? Tales from the Valley of Death explores the complex lives of individuals who have been crippled by death-related fears and related existential issues as revealed by candid interviews with their psychotherapist, internationally renowned clinical psychologist Professor Ross Menzies. Vivid first-hand accounts reveal their private histories, core thoughts, beliefs and attitudes that drove their mental health dilemmas. For some, the struggle has gone on for years as they tried different therapies and therapists. A platform for the wealth of mental and behavioural processes brought to life through these 10 fascinating tales is provided by Rachel Menzies, a leading researcher in death anxiety and daughter of Ross. Her engaging introduction on the history and psychological underpinnings of death anxiety bookends neatly with a comprehensive concluding examination of what these stories reveal about its causes and effects. As we listen in on the interviews, it is hard not to be struck by how fascinating these individuals are, how compelling their histories have been, and how hard they have fought to overcome their difficulties, bravely wading their way through the murky territory of the same existential dilemmas we all must face. Their fears range from sudden death by fire to assassins in the shadows, from anaphylactic shock to a multitude of diseases, from being attacked by dinosaurs lurking in kitchen cupboards to being pushed off cliffs and in front of trains. For many, the ultimate fear is the wrath of God while for others, a lack of meaning and a pervasive sense of pointlessness drove their mental difficulties. Tales from the Valley of Death shows us the many ways that the dread of death and fear of impermanence can strike at the heart of the human experience and the power of effective therapy to improve the lives of others.
