From acclaimed fantasy author Mindee Arnett comes an epic, adventurous story of a young mercenary magic-user trying to escape the oppressive island of Riven--and a young noblewoman trying to change it forever.Mars Darksvane wants out.

And when his last mission ends in tragedy, Mars finally decides it's time to escape to the mainland. No magic, no history, a new life on his own.But Una has other ideas. If Mars wants his freedom, he's going to have to perform a final job: protecting Fura Torvald--the heiress of the rich

Giorgio Agamben tackles our crisis-ridden world in a series of powerful philosophical essays. "Which house is burning?" asks Giorgio Agamben. "The country where you live, or Europe, or the whole world? Perhaps the houses, the cities have already burnt down--who knows how long ago?--in a single immense blaze that we pretended not to see." In this collection of four luminous, lyrical essays, Agamben brings his characteristic combination of philosophical acuity and poetic intensity to bear on a world in crisis. Whether surveying the burning house of our culture in the title essay, the architecture of pure exteriority in "Door and Threshold," the language of prophecy in "Lessons in the Darkness," or the word of the witness in "Testimony and Truth," Agamben's insights throw a revealing light on questions both timeless and topical. Written in dark times over the past year, and rich with the urgency of our moment, the essays in this volume also seek to show how what appears to be an impasse c

Mariana's well-received book, Agartha - The Earth's Inner World, had just been released (2010) when she had a visitation from her cosmic friend and source of inspiration, Jan Fridegård, who told her that he, too, had been to Agartha. He gave an account of his experiences there in the company of his dear friend and companion Lydia, whom we've met in a couple of previous books.

One Saturday evening, sisters Pip and Maisie are sitting in the warm snug of their grandparent’s cottage on the edge of a forest in Scotland. Maisie is restless and longs for adventure, but life at the cottage is always slow.

John Keats is among the greatest English poets. (He himself imagined he would be counted so!) For some readers, his odes define the essence of poetry. We also discover in Keats a great composer of sonnets. Here, for the first time published in a separate edition, are all sixty-four sonnets, the first written when Keats was eighteen, the last just five years later. Reading these poems, you'll experience the wonder of Keats's growing poetic powers; you'll feel the "shock of recognition" when you come upon the great ones. Presented with an introduction by Edward Hirsch, and accompanying explanatory notes, the sonnets stand out as a triumph of their own."Between 1814 and 1819, John Keats wrote sixty-four sonnets. He was eighteen years old when he composed his first sonnet; he was turning twenty-four when he completed his last one. He restlessly experimented with the fourteen-line form and used it to plunge into (and explore) his emotional depths. You can sit down and read these poems in a

This book systematically explores carbon nitride-based semiconductors for photocatalytic hydrogen production through water splitting. Beginning with fundamental concepts of hydrogen generation, it details modifications to pure g-C3N4 and interfacial engineering designs before examining various composite materials: CeO2/g-C3N4 nanocomposites demonstrate enhanced charge separation, while CoO nanoparticle integration improves visible-light absorption. The text analyzes N-doped ZnO/g-C3N4 heterojunctions, MnO2-loaded architectures for oxidative stability, and oxygen-deficient LaVO4/g-C3N4 systems. Advanced configurations include Co-C3N4/BiPO4 dual-cocatalysts, atomically dispersed Co-N4 sites in 2D frameworks, and B/P-doped variants for bandgap modulation, concluding with molten-salt synthesized Fe@C3N4 nanosheets. Each system's synthesis, characterization, mechanistic pathways, and hydrogen evolution performance are rigorously evaluated, culminating in forward-looking perspectives for nex
