Описание:
Who is the lady with laser eyes under the water--a young man's demise?
Based on the terrifying real-life legend of Lake Ronkonkoma, Lady of the Lake proves that love can conquer even the scariest of challenges.
After a passionate night at the local lake with her dreamy boyfriend, Braden, Miley Monroe's life is turned upside down when Braden is dragged underwater by an undead woman with chilling red eyes. Not only has Braden been kidnapped by a mysterious specter--he is also being fingered for rape by Miley's doubtful father, a stern police officer determined to track down the missing teen and defend his daughter's honor.
Distraught and on the verge of giving up hope for Braden's return, Miley connects with a nerdy classmate named Quentin. He warns her that Braden has fallen victim to the Lady of the Lake, a Native American woman named Tuscawonta who killed herself in the lake after her star-crossed love affair with a handsome English settler named Hugh Birdsall went horribly awry. Looking to recapture the love she could never have, Tuscawonta has kidnapped scores of attractive young men from the lake's shores to serve as her companions in the afterlife.
Teaming up with Quentin's father, a genius scientist who works on top-secret government research projects, the trio devise a supernatural plot to bring love back from the dead and break the curse of Lake Ronkonkoma. Braden's life depends on their success.
Incredibly imaginative and chockful of thrilling twists and turns, Lady of the Lake will pull you under and make sure you never come up for air.

Описание: Our wars with the animals go way back. Beyond the light cast by our prehistoric campfires, the eyes glowing in the night seemed to represent a great hostile force. As we began to cultivate crops and husband a few favoured animals, we generally regarded other creatures as threats to our chosen few. Using the logic of war, we sought to maximize the populations of certain creatures, and the destruction of others. In the past, that war effort was our great crusade for the advancement of civilization as we knew it. The war had a frontier, a front line, and an ongoing battle on the home front. Expanding outward from our various cradles of civilization, we progressively "tamed" the forests and grasslands, converting them to monocrop plantations or pastures. Then we had to defend our monocrops from encroaching weeds, insects, and wild animals. In this immediately engaging, story- and fact-filled page-turner of a book, Brian Griffith looks at the range of ways we relate to animals and the stories we tell about them. He asks how we choose whether buddyhood, fearful respect, business-like predation, or genocidal war is the most appropriate response to each species we meet. He watches how our treatment of "inferior beings" affects our treatment of "inferior people", and traces some of the chain reactions we unleash when we try to weed out species we dont like. "Without much hope of making animals fit my personal preferences," he writes, "I wonder how good our relations can get".

Описание: Adopted by two loving male poet-scientist parents, and burdened with a strange power of empathy, Charissa grows up in Edmonton, finds love in the inner city, stands trial for eco-terrorism, escapes from a Caribbean prison and journeys homeward amid political turmoil and personal grief to find her lover, confront a friend, and save a child. Reviews of Charissa's Shoes: "Charissa's Shoes is a visionary novel that speaks to the reader on many levels. It is a very clever tale that provides deep insight into many complex issues ranging from environmental protection, to freedom of expression, to the principles of government, and to the not often perceived fragility of our western democracy." "Charissa's Shoes is a kind of bildungsroman for a nation. Combining elements of satire and fabulism, the narrative reaches back to a very recent moment in Canadian political history and projects one possible direction the future could have taken. For the time at least, Canada has averted such a prospect-though populist nationalism has begun rearing its unkempt head even here-but our neighbours to the south are just embarking on a dark journey of their own. This lucidly-written novel is both witty and penetrating. A cautionary tale well worth reading."
