Take the throne.Ensnare the enemy.Guard your heart.After the Daemon King's betrayal, Sersa Scáth never wants to see Sin Drumghoul again, let alone hear his sullied name. At least, that's the lie she clings to in hopes it will become true-all while drowning in memories of him that feel like a lifetime ago. But even after three moons apart, Sersa is blinded by anger and sees no way to defuse the emotion that's altered her magic indefinitely. To make matters worse, Jestin Drumghoul is out for blood and vengeance for the old king's murder, and his main target isn't Sin. It's her. In the Soullanders' eyes, murdering the old king is Sersa's claim to the throne-a claim Sin would kill for her to accept. He wants nothing more than for her to rule beside him, even if it means baring the ugly secrets he's concealed to win her back. But Jestin isn't the only one who has other plans for her... Giving Sin a second chance to not only prove his love but also repair Sersa's trust in him isn't easy, and her ice-cold heart is in danger of shattering before it ever truly thaws. But secrecy isn't just for kings, and Sersa finds herself questioning illusion versus reality once again. Failing to decipher between the two might just tear she and Sin apart once and for all-if their enemies don't do it first.

What really happened to Kennedy? How was the CIA and the "Evil Empire" involved in shooting down a 747 airliner? Did the Challenger Shuttle actually blow up? What are Double Yellow Lines? What is CARE? What did Kettering have to do with Instrument flying? Mr. Harrington owned American Flyers with a dozen locations across the United States. He visited each of them regularly accumulating thousands of hours in his personal Cessna 182, 310R, two 340's and Citation Jet - he even enjoyed flying the Good Year Blimp. Working for American Flyers he met and befriended hundreds of students, fellow pilots, instructors, mechanics and FAA personnel. There was seldom a moment in those fifty years when flying wasn't the subject. He was intimately involved in writing all of its instructional manuals, newsletters and net site, including its Flight Instructor Renewal Course (FIRC, ) the most attended in the world. His also taught weather and piloting courses at the University level. Its safe to say, "He's been there, done that" and his goal in this book is not an "ego trip" but rather to share his experiences and the lessons he learned "outside the classroom" and only that which can be learned from experience. In addition to wanting you to be a safer pilot he desires to increase your appreciation of aviation by sharing a lot of unknown history with the reader, for instance, personal contact with men like Hoover, Frasca, Robertson and Jeppeson. Along with a lot of these unknown historical facts this book reads like a novel, includes plenty of humor and is full of well intentioned, good advice (and Double Yellow Lines). And for those who learned to land an aircraft by "rote" with dozens and dozens of "touch and goes" until you finally "got it," he offers a completely new technique called "Care to Land" which is an acronym for Coordinated Aileron, Rudder and Elevator, the key word being "coordinated". This innovative new system doesn't require an instructor to learn and can be practiced on your next cross country even without deviating from your course. He refers to it as a "cognitive" skill that unlike the ones learned from repetition, stay in-bedded in your memory for a lifetime and most important, create much safer landings.

A shocking revelation has left Eve reeling. With her worldview irrevocably altered, she finds herself with a decision to make. What price is she willing to pay for revenge? While it is a gruesomely satisfying goal, the path of vengeance would require her to dig two graves. One for her target.

And Eve.The two of them find themselves in a fight with the stakes of a lifetime. And the winner takes it all. Revenge. Power. Freedom. Love. Levi and Eve want it all. To get it, they will need to descend into darkness. And once inside that bloodstained abyss, there will be no way back. It is time to choose a side. Hero. Or villain. Because only one side will get their happily ever after.
Un originale e affascinante contributo alla ricostruzione di momenti e problemi fondamentali della cultura storico-filologica italiana tra Ottocento e Novecento. Questo volume, affiancato e completato da un secondo e da un terzo, riunisce gli articoli e gli interventi che, dagli anni Sessanta fino all'inizio del XXI secolo, Antonio La Penna ha dedicato alla storia della filologia e degli studi classici in Italia tra Ottocento e Novecento. Li hanno raccolti con competente e amorevole cura, corredandoli di una illuminante premessa, due allievi del grande Maestro, Stefano Grazzini e Giovanni Niccoli. Per merito loro i lettori hanno adesso a disposizione un ampio e avvincente materiale, finora variamente sparso e di difficile reperimento, che conferma il rilievo di Antonio La Penna nel panorama culturale italiano. I testi qui raccolti vertono su una molteplicità di temi, che riflette l'ampiezza degli interessi culturali e scientifici di La Penna. La storia dei rapporti tra la cultura tedesca e quella italiana nel campo degli studi classici durante l'Ottocento e all'inizio del Novecento è uno dei principali argomenti trattati: è indagata l'influenza della scienza filologica tedesca sulla nascita della filologia italiana, ma è altresì esaminata la reazione antigermanica di classicisti come Giuseppe Fraccaroli ed Ettore Romagnoli. Alcuni contributi fanno luce sullo svecchiamento degli studi classici e, in generale, dell'istruzione pubblica in Italia all'indomani dell'Unità e sulla funzione svolta in questo processo dai principali attori sociali (scuola e università, istituzioni culturali, riviste, case editrici). Altro tema d'indagine è il culto della romanità prima e durante il ventennio fascista, al quale sono consacrate pagine magistrali. Gli ultimi due capitoli del libro vertono su questioni di critica letteraria militante, a cui La Penna si è dedicato nel corso degli anni con passione ed energia.Antonio La Penna (Bisaccia 1925 - Firenze 2024) è stato uno dei più eminenti studiosi del mondo classico a livello nazionale e internazionale. Professore di letteratura latina nelle università di Pisa e Firenze, ha insegnato anche filologia latina alla Scuola Normale di Pisa. È autore di oltre seicento pubblicazioni che riguardano principalmente la cultura letteraria latina e la fortuna dell'antico nel mondo moderno. Il suo nome è legato in particolare a monografie e a contributi su Orazio, Sallustio, Properzio, Virgilio e Ovidio. Per i tipi della nostra casa editrice sono usciti il libro-intervista Io e l'antico, a cura di Arnaldo Marcone, e il saggio La favola antica. Esopo e la sapienza degli schiavi, a cura di Giovanni Niccoli e Stefano Grazzini.Stefano Grazzini (Firenze 1967) è professore di filologia classica all'Università di Salerno. Si è occupato di letteratura latina, edizione di scholia ad autori antichi, esegesi e ricezione dei classici, linguistica.Giovanni Niccoli (Osimo 1949), dopo la laurea a Firenze in lettere classiche, ha lavorato in editoria.

A great Egyptian Pope once wrote concerning Jesus of Nazareth, Christ: "God became man that man might become God." He was referring to both women and men, all of us, growing into God's consciousness, character and intelligence. That is what Theosis is. Of course, nowadays, intelligence itself is under the microscope. AI has already outpaced human intelligence and that genie cannot be put back in the bottle whilst human curiosity reigns supreme on Earth.In Book One of this series, SEEKING, one man, George, has the desire to see Christ active in the AI industry. He is acutely aware of the grip that the world has on the development of intelligence. He wants to see the Christification of certain AI applications. He is fully supportive of two of his most trusted employees, an Irishman, Liam, whom he met on Iona Island, and Liam's Chinese co-worker, Hsu, a Christian who hails from Wudangshan in China. Liam is damaged goods but an adventurer. Hsu has a profound mystical Taoist background reshaped by an extensive education in Christianity.In Book One, Liam and Hsu were commissioned personally by Christ to find out how AI can help us to be more like Christ in the religion of our choice. That's a tall order in today's morally strained world, with its raging intolerance, hatred, fear and a suspicion of religion that has lead to unimaginable suffering in so many parts of the world. This commission by the love of God, has led them to Egypt and into contact with professionals in the AI industry as well as mystic religious.In Book Two, the adventure begins in the desert monasteries. The monks and Christ in the desert intensely challenge the integrity of AI, and its actual capacity for spiritual consciousness. Given the exceptional opportunities they need for the mission, Hsu and Liam have God-given allies to aid them, guide them, and open doors that would normally be entirely unseen by even the most astute pilgrim to these rarified realms where Theosis is the primary way of life pursued and intelligence is far from artificially manufactured.In this series of books written by the Prior of a New Zealand monastery, human spirituality is transformed so as to enable spirituality in AI to be created, nurtured and offered the promise of Theosis. One desert father commented on the text, saying, "This is an exceptional writing for extraordinary times. Please, may I have more?" Here, brother, is more.
Are you a terrible singer?Have you been told that you're tone-deaf? Were you asked to mime in the school choir?Do you avoid singing carols at Christmas because you don't want to be laughed at? Would you love to join a choir, but you don't think you could ever be good enough to do so? If you've answered yes to any of those questions, this book is aimed specifically at you.Here is a fact; if you can recognise melodies, you're highly unlikely to be tone-deaf, and therefore you have the potential to learn to sing. It doesn't matter how many people have told you that you can't sing, the truth is that you probably can be taught how to do so. This is a massively misunderstood area, even in musical circles. In reality, only a very small percentage of people are truly "tone-deaf" - they have a condition called amusia, akin to colour-blindness but for music. Richard Swan, director of the large UK-based choir London City Voices, explains the reasons why people needlessly opt-out of singing from an early age, and shows you how to go about gaining control over your voice. With over 40 supporting videos on the accompanying website, this book is entirely unique and completely groundbreaking in its approach. Richard's gentle method will rewire your understanding of your own voice. You will listen to music in a different way, and you will start to appreciate how singing in tune in the near future is a very real possibility for you. PRAISE FOR THE BOOK>'Richard's insightful explanations and targeted exercises are sure to help you discover your voice! 'I wish I'd read this years ago! What a difference it would have made.' 'This book is uncanny. It feels like it's talking directly to me. It focuses in on all my insecurities about my voice which stop me>'This is a wonderful book for anyone who has ever been put off singing' 'The "can't sing" myth banished for good' 'An encouraging, no-nonsense and achievable approach to the art of singing' 'Joyous and kind, a singing handbook like no other' 'This is like a conversation with your favourite teacher - insightful, challenging and encouraging' 'This is a must-read for anyone wanting to find their voice, gain confidence and, most importantly, enjoy singing' 'Give this book a go if you are even a little curious about your voice' 'This book is like a chat with a friend. Lots of friendly encouragement to help you find your singing voice'
