Описание:
Haida Elders and activists tell the epic story of the 1985 War in the Woods when, despite 72 arrests, they stared down the logging trucks and stopped clear-cutting on Athlii Gwaii (Lyell Island), leading to the creation of Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site.
"This is Haida land, you all know that, and we're here to uphold the decision of the Haida Nation. This is Haida land and there will be no further logging in this area." Kilsli Kaji Sting, Miles Richardson Jr., on the line at Athlii Gwaii, 1985.

Описание:
We have all read fairy tales about kings and queens, princes and princesses, dragons and castles.
It's all true They really existed Well, except for the dragons. Dragons didn't really exist. Somebody just made that part up (Also the talking fish.) But the kings and princesses and castles definitely existed.
For much of history, most people lived under monarchies. That meant they took one person and everyone had to do anything he said, until that person died, and then they'd just do the same thing with his son or sometimes daughter. Sort of like a game of Simon Says, except the same person always gets to be Simon, and the game goes on forever. This was referred to as "government."
There are two common mistakes people make about kings. One is to think that they were always there: that there's just something odd about humans that makes them want to give one person all the power. No. That's wrong. The other mistake is to think maybe people long ago behaved that way, but that's because people long ago were slightly stupid, and hadn't figured out how to hold elections or online surveys, but we certainly don't have anything like kings now. That turns out not to be true either. It might seem to be, because we no longer have anyone dressed in elaborate costumes who can order somebody's head chopped off - at least, in most places, we don't - but as we'll see, things haven't changed nearly as much as we like to think.
One thing no one can deny: kings are fun to think about. That's why people like to dress up as them, or play games where they get to be kings or queens, or why there are so many books and stories about them. So why write another one? Well, mainly to ask: why do we find kings and queens so interesting? What is it we really like about them, and what is it we'd find annoying or even terrifying if one was actually around? Where did they come from and why do they never seem to go away? Is it possible to keep all the things we like about kings and queens and get rid of all the other ones?
This book, then, is an illustrated collection of questions and answers to help us get to the bottom of all this. But it's also meant to be entertaining because, let's face it, kings and queens are pretty entertaining. We'll see what happens when some people get to do absolutely anything they want, and other people try to come up with all sorts of clever strategies to keep them out of trouble. We'll see what happens when servant girls conquer the world, mummies pretend they're still alive, and parents build make-believe towns for their children. But we don't want to give too much away.
This book investigates the interaction between complex transformational socio-economic processes, migratory vectors, and the role of ethnic belonging. It outlines the hitherto unexamined determining factors of the mass emigration of the Pontic and Urum Greeks of Georgia. The author addresses the following questions: How, if at all, did ethnic affiliation influence the decision-making process to emigrate? Therefore, should this migration be considered as a "repatriation" process, or should it rather be analyzed in the context of labor migration? The study triangulates qualitative and quantitative analyses of 47 interviews, spatial analysis, as well as materials on Georgia’s and the destination countries’ socioeconomic realities. This enables a clear understanding of the circumstances that stimulate emigration, the routes, and the experience of living abroad.

Описание:
Some days the will to continue fighting this battle may feel impossible, there are countless circumstances that leave us feeling powerless. But in those very moments, what seems like a hindrance/threat to our lives may be the platform God uses for his Glory to be displayed through us. As we stumble along, we often wonder, where is God? Why is he allowing me to go through this? We feel stuck and broken. The reality is however, that God does his best work in our darkness and whatever journey God begins in your life and heart, he promises to finish- in his perfect timing. I wrote this book due to my own experiences with depression/anxiety.

Описание: "A richly-imagined tale of the struggle between the persistence of goodness and the corruption of power within the heart of a single youth-an absorbing follow-up to Blood Seed, the first book in the series." ---Debra Doyle, PhD, co-author of Knight's Wyrd, winner of the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award Born in a land devastated by a reign of terror, Teller is snatched as an innocent boy into the brutal lord's subterranean stronghold. Mind-probes twist his memories of home, and he grows up into an eighteen-year-old dark rebel. He simmers with hatred for the extended family he believes abandoned him and the lord's four Vols whose mission is to corrupt and redefine him. A mysterious parchment hints of a chosen one with a name similar to his-and a connection to the twin brother he barely remembers. When he discovers within himself the legendary power of fire, the beautiful slave Liasit demands he decide who he truly is. But of the three names among which Teller must choose, one will break his heart, another will break his will, and the third will condemn what is left of his soul. What readers are saying: "Firmly rooted in the fantasy genre yet laced with intrigue, political purpose, and moral and ethical issues."..."Wow Just wow "... "Pacing, action, tension, conflict: it's all here"..."I don't often read fantasy, but I'd read this entire series straight through."..."full of raw emotion"..."I can't wait to read the next two books "...written by "a master of description who keeps all five senses a-tingle."
Описание: What is "the shadow" in these stories? It's what lurks in the dark, and it's different for everyone. -For Isabel, it's the whisper from the basement that invites her to come on down. -For second-grader Emma, it's the tortured spirit that has haunted her family for generations. -For Deacon William, it's the damaged android that frightens visitors in the retreat house halls. All ten short stories in this collection are about how the different characters deal with what they find in the dark. Two of these stories received recognition from Writer's Digest and others won awards or were published. They ask: -What's inside the car that prowls a lonely street at night? -Can Brent save himself from the deadly creature he's sure his wife has become? -Donald teaches a night class, but what's behind those thick glasses he turns upon his shyest student? Night Cruiser offers an unusual perspective. With a background in pastoral ministry, the author bases her stories on insights from psychologist Carl Jung's concept of the Shadow, from J.R.R. Tolkien's belief that even the worst catastrophe can be redeemed, and from the faith of the medieval woman mystic Julian of Norwich. If you're intrigued by the thing that takes shape at the foot of your bed at night, if you enjoy a little sly humor, if you crave tales that offer hope, and if you like stories that make you wonder, take a ride on the Night Cruiser
