ISBN: B00NS88E3G
Title: The Cycle of Arawn Pdf The Complete Trilogy
Author: Edward W. Robertson

Dante Galand is young. Penniless. Alone. But devoted to learning the dark magic of his world.His quest will take him from the city gutters to a foreign land of sorcerers. To a war for independence. And finally, to another war—this time, for his people's very survival.A USA Today bestselling series, THE CYCLE OF ARAWN is a complete trilogy of 1600 pages—over half a million words of strife, civil war, friendships made and broken, and one man's obsession to become the greatest sorcerer since the days of the gods.

These books are a great buy, it took me a while to get into the books and I nearly gave up twice so glad I didn't, this set its really good in a refreshing way, it focuses on friendships so nice not to have love triangles and steamy affairs, and all the books are a long read so feel you get plenty of value for your money.Do buy this you will not be disappointed.Full of introspection, long winded and ridiculously padded out. Boring.This could easily have been a short novel. I would have given it zero stars if i could.A Pretty Good Fantasy Cycle THIS REVIEW INCLUDES 3 DIFFERENT REVIEWS FOR EACH BOOK IN THIS OMNIBUSTHIS IS BOOK 1.What I would have liked to know before I bought this book. (minor spoilers)Note: This book has a lot of crude language that might be offensive.1. What type of book is it: adventure, action, drama, etc? This is a dark fantasy epic adventure.2. What is the story about, in general? The story tells the early years of Dante. As he search for the truth of the gods and magical power, he must dodge dedicated shadowy assassins. Along his travels he encounters wizards, thieves, friends, enemies and discovers himself.3. What/Who is the target audience? Young adult and adult males. Those with a love for dark epic fantasy might love it as well.4. How is the proofreading? I did see one or two mistakes but nothing excessive or predominant.5. Is there character development or exploration? Yes to both. Along Dante's path, he will come to many moral dilemmas. He will fail some and he will pass others. These choices build the character of Dante's personality and expose his very human failures to reader scrutiny.One nagging annoyance was that most everyone talked the same, and VERY crudely. All characters have a degree of biting sarcasm. All characters enjoy back and forth repertoire with an equal amount of intellect and viciousness. It's like the same character spoke out through different dresses. Thus, if you don't like how one character speaks ... you probably won't like how ANY of them speak.The antagonists are great. They aren't blatantly evil, they are just ... people. They have a particular view of the world and they want to impose that view. Very well done.6. Are the characters likable? In my opinion, yes. Though, I can see how their `attitude' might be grating and how their very crude and filthy language might dissuade some readers. I enjoyed the freshness of their general anti-hero compositions. These characters care about preserving the life of the innocent, yet are almost diabolically selfish in their ambitions. Honor is a commodity, not a rule. Lies are common coin.7. Do you have to suspend disbelief? I honestly did not feel that I had to strain my disbelief to extremes. There are a few minor things I might consider silly, or even dumb, but they were perfectly within the realm of possibility.8. Does the story keep its pacing? I am of two minds about this. I honestly felt that scene changes were abrupt, but also appreciated the author for speeding things along. For example, there are lengthy trips that are narrowed down to single paragraphs. Like `2 weeks of travel later..." and things like that. Though I missed a little of the flavor text, I like that there was no wasted page time. You'll have to decide if this thrills or smears your enjoyment.I honestly feel that the author tries to avoid as many cliches as possible, except those done well enough to advance compelling pacing and story drama. Kudos.9. Is the book worth the asking price? I bought this book as part of the 3 book Omnibus. I found it very cheap.In conclusion: An interesting world building, adventure and swashbuckling fantasy story. The characters are generally likable, but lack the individualistic verbal nuances that would round out their compelling merits and flaws. In addition, everyone talked very crudely and harshly. This will not be greeted well by some readers. There are no `white knights' in these pages, just people doing the best they can. There aren't any truly evil antagonists, just people doing what they think is right, given their ambitions. The proofreading is not perfect, but not a deal breaker. The price, in the combo omnibus form, is quite cheap. This is a good first saga book, even if I felt the great characters and story lacked much to offer anyone outside the target audience. The language makes me feel this book is definitely not for children.3.5 StarsSPOILER WARNING. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ BOOK 1 READING BEYOND THIS POINT WILL HAVE SPOILERSWhat I would have liked to know before I bought this book. (minor spoilers)1. What type of book is it: adventure, action, drama, etc? This is an epic adventure fantasy book.2. What is the story about, in general? The story is about Dante and Blays as they endeavor to free the Norren from Gask's slavery in the hopes of forging a City-State at Narashtovik.3. What/Who is the target audience? Young Adults and Adult male readers. This one has some romance, but somehow it doesn't seem to appeal too much to female readers, regardless of it.4. How is the proofreading? Same as the 1st book. Some mistakes here and there, perhaps a few more than the 1st book, but not deal breakers.5. Is there character development or exploration? I think so. Mostly I like how the Blays character evolves. He expands his circle of friends and also finds a core of honor more inclined towards `goodness' than mere `personal code'. Dante continues down his `path of daggers', making choices that are never wholly good and never wholly evil. The relationship between Dante and Blays also evolves. The rest of the characters did not change much.6. Are the characters likable? Sure, as long the reader understands that the style of conversations will ALWAYS be crude, inelegant and something you might hear in a low class bordello. People continue to talk as if they were facets of the same character in different dresses.7. Do you have to suspend disbelief? Nope. Everything was well within the scope of the created world. Some actions puzzled me, but they aren't unbelievable.8. Does the story keep its pacing? I felt a little exasperated with the jumping from area to area and with the character interactions. I did not feel synergy between them. The conversations felt forced ... perhaps even bordering on the feeling of `theater'. I fully enjoyed the contention between pragmatism and benevolence (with murderous pragmatism usually winning) that persists through the book.As in the 1st book, I have to appreciate, even if it made the pacing a little clunky, that the author tries not to waste time with inconsequential nuances.9. Is the book worth the asking price? As part of the Omnibus, I felt the book was well worth the cost. Good purchase.In conclusion: This 2nd book continues the rough and dirty inelegant epic fantasy adventure of the 1st book. The language, along with forcefully sarcastic and theater character synergy, are my only real gripes with this story. It is deliberately nasty, as if the author wants to strip away all forms of elegance and romanticism from the typical epic fantasy adventure. If that is the intent, he achieved his goal. Regardless of how I feel about that style, the story IS epic and well done, with a fair bit of action and intrigue thrown into the mix for good measure. Heck, there is even some romance. The proofreading remains `good' to `ok'. I was tangled in an error here and an error there. The price, as part of the omnibus, is quite cheap and welcomed. This story might irritate the reader because of its style and deliberately crude manner, but for others it might be a breath of fresh air in an overly romanticized genre.4.0 StarsSPOILER WARNING. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOK, READING BEYOND THIS POINT WILL HAVE SPOILERS!!!What I would have liked to know before I bought this book. (SOME SPOILERS)Note: Some of the observations in this book are copy pasted from my review of the 2nd book, as they continue to be true. An area has a SPOILER WARNING. Please skip if you don't want any spoilers.1. What type of book is it: adventure, action, drama, etc? This is an epic adventure fantasy book.2. What is the story about, in general? The story is about the broken friendship of Dante and Blays as a manifestation of great Netherpower appears in the world, and brings the possibility of ruination.3. What/Who is the target audience? Young Adults and Adult male readers.4. How is the proofreading? Same as the 1st and 2nd book. Some mistakes here and there.5. Is there character development or exploration? To be honest, there is little character development. The characters have already been thoroughly exposed with both their merits and flaws. There IS character exploration of Dante and Blays, but somehow I felt they were acting a little childish. It felt more like character devolution.6. Are the characters likable? The characters are less likable in this book than the other two because they forget to be ... well ... intelligent. There are some rather extreme actions and decisions in this installment that felt thoroughly beyond the scope of the main protagonists. Dante.7. Do you have to suspend disbelief? (SPOILER WARNING. Skip to #8 to avoid) For the first time I have to say, yes. Blays' and Dante's paths are completely divergent, yet they somehow end up at the same place at the same time at the critical moment, in another nation. WOW. Now that's a coincidence for the ages.The interaction between Blays and Dante is ... really childish. I cannot, in good conscience, believe that Dante would betray Blays to the King of Gask. I cannot believe it when Dante didn't even speak with Blays in the first place to try and clear matters up. It doesn't match their constructed personalities in the least. Also, Dante put a BOUNTY to find Blays? A bounty large enough to attract attention from all over the fractured kingdoms? Doesn't anyone think this to be extreme, even borderline insane? Last, the resurrection of Blays ... son of a gun. I understand why it was done, to show that Dante wasn't all monster, but seriously, a resurrection?8. Does the story keep its pacing? I felt a little exasperated with the jumping from area to area and with the character interactions. I did not feel synergy between them. The conversations felt forced ... perhaps even bordering on the feeling of `theater'. I fully enjoyed the contention between pragmatism and benevolence (with murderous pragmatism usually winning) that persists through the book.As in the first two books, I have to appreciate, even if it made the pacing a little clunky, that the author tries not to waste time with inconsequential nuances.A few things simply didn't add up in this installment. Events lined up PERFECTLY to solve each other across the distances of three kingdoms. I find that too coordinated to retain pacing and credulity. It was simply to snug: square peg into square hole.9. Is the book worth the asking price? As part of the Omnibus, I felt the book was well worth the cost. Good purchase.In conclusion: This 3rd book continues the rough and dirty inelegant epic fantasy adventure of the 2nd book. The characters acted very strangely and sometimes bordered on illogical insanity. Some actions felt `over the top' and forced. Said actions didn't quite match the personalities of the protagonists in the least. It's as if they got dumber the more experience they obtained, less prudent. Unbelievable. Some story events are too perfectly aligned to solve each other, so neat as to lack artistry. The language continues to be deliberately inelegant and crude; not a flaw but something to note. Regardless of how I feel of that style, the story IS epic, with a fair bit of action and intrigue thrown into the mix. The proofreading remains `good' to `ok'. I was tangled in an error here and an error there. The price, as part of the omnibus, is quite cheap and welcomed. The combination of too perfect aligned distant events and questionable actions by the protagonists zap enjoyment from this read, in quantity. Nevertheless, it is still far above many books out there.3.1 StarsI CALCULATED THE TOTAL AVERAGE FOR MY FINAL OMNIBUS RATING.3.6 Stars

Longitude Download

ISBN: 080271529X
Title: Longitude Pdf The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time
Author: Dava Sobel
Published Date: 2007-10-30
Page: 208

“This is a gem of a book.” ―Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times“A simple tale, brilliantly told.” ―Washington Post Book World“As much a tale of intrigue as it is of science…A book full of gems for anyone interested in history, geography, astronomy, navigation, clockmaking, and--not the least--plain old human ambition and greed.” ―Philadelphia Inquirer“Only someone with Dava Sobel's unusual background in both astronomy and psychology could have written it. Longitude is a wonderful story, wonderfully told.” ―Diane Ackerman, author of A Natural History of the Senses“The marine chronometer is a glorious and fascinating object, but it is not a simple one, and its explanation calls for a writer as skilled with words as the watchmakers were with their tools; happily such a writer has been found in Dava Sobel.” ―Patrick O'Brian, author of The Commodore and the Aubrey/Maturin seriesDava Sobel is the bestselling author of Longitude, Galileo's Daughter, and The Planets, coauthor of The Illustrated Longitude, and editor of Letters to Father. She lives in East Hampton, New York.

The dramatic human story of an epic scientific quest and of one man's forty-year obsession to find a solution to the thorniest scientific dilemma of the day--"the longitude problem."

Anyone alive in the eighteenth century would have known that "the longitude problem" was the thorniest scientific dilemma of the day-and had been for centuries. Lacking the ability to measure their longitude, sailors throughout the great ages of exploration had been literally lost at sea as soon as they lost sight of land. Thousands of lives and the increasing fortunes of nations hung on a resolution. One man, John Harrison, in complete opposition to the scientific community, dared to imagine a mechanical solution-a clock that would keep precise time at sea, something no clock had ever been able to do on land.

Longitude is the dramatic human story of an epic scientific quest and of Harrison's forty-year obsession with building his perfect timekeeper, known today as the chronometer. Full of heroism and chicanery, it is also a fascinating brief history of astronomy, navigation, and clockmaking, and opens a new window on our world.

Precise Writing on Precision Longitude is west to east, east to west. But it's not that simple because, for example, the equator is wider around the earth than the Tropic of Capricorn or the Arctic Circle. Although latitude is fixed by the earth and Columbus could sail a "straight line" in 1492 relative to a fixed latitudinal parallel, longitude made sailors feel they were on a train and looking at another train, trying to determine which one just began moving.After reading a book about Mason and Dixon and all of the incredibly (for me) complex math and astronomy involved, I was slow to begin this book. Author Dava Sobel, however, cuts through all the more complicated principles like a good pre-calculus teacher. I would even suggest this book could appeal to adventurous 8th graders. The history is impressive. The Harrison family were watchmakers, but as very precise and diligent watchmakers competitive with the Royal Society and haughty astronomers like Nevil Maskelyne. John Harrison had size, cost, material, temperature fluctuations, moisture, waves, and many more atmospheric obstacles to confront while those relying on lunar readings went much further to produce much less. For the record, I had never heard of John Harrison. His predecessors include Halley, Tycho Brahe, and Galileo, whose attempts to time the speed of light is briefly retold here.This is summer reading, a hero's tale, good defeating bad, The Little Engine that Could. If you or your child is interested in sailing, navigation, astronomy, inventions, machining, or how the British came to rule the word for a time, this is a book to read and re-read.I was left hoping for more detail and depth I was left hoping for more detail and depth. This story is sort of a biography about a person whom the author explains there is not much known. The subject's work product is and has been well known and studied at length, but there are not enough details about the technology included in this book. At the end of the book the author explains that she purposefully omitted information that she did not think her readers are smart enough to consider. The premise of using a clock to compute longitude is mentioned repeatedly through the first half of the book, but an explanation of the operating principal and technique is only finally hinted at in the later stages of the book. The idea is that at any instant one can correlate "local" time to some known "reference" time as it occurs at some specific reference location and compute the local angle of longitude in relation to the reference location. The clocks being discussed are the devices used to reliably transport the "reference" time for comparative use in other locales. I have been aware of the technique for a long while and it became a guessing game to anticipate when the idea was finally going to be presented to, and shared with, readers. I think that many readers will enjoy the book much more if the premise is described, in detail, in an earlier portion of the story so that it is more obvious why one may appreciate all the great efforts made in the field of horology to achieve a series of incremental advances in performance and reliability. This book reads like a book report or a term paper rather than as a comprehensive book. It seems as if the author knows her subject well, but did not benefit from effective editing and/or insightful guidance regarding the perspective of a reader when formatting the story line into book form. I am surprised that some other more satisfying explanation of the history and circumstances has not been offered as a replacement for this book and its best seller status.One of the most fascinating books I have read In the age of GPS it is hard to believe that there was a time when sailors could not navigate the seas in safety. This book is so interesting and easy to read, yet it explains the discovery of how to determine Longitude in a way that is fascinating for adults and excellent for young teenagers as well. I always have three copies of the Illustrated book on hand. I give them as gifts all the time. I read this book while I was traveling and I had the opportunity to visit the The Royal Naval Museum, in Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard, England, that houses these wonderful clocks. One of my favorite books.

Wicca Download

ISBN: 0875421180
Title: Wicca Pdf A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner
Author: Scott Cunningham
Published Date: 1988
Page: 218

Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner is the essential primer from one of the best known authors on Wicca. Focusing on the importance of individualism in your spiritual path, Cunningham explains the very basics of Sabbats (holy days), ceremonies, altars, and other nuts and bolts of Wicca that a solitary practitioner may have trouble finding elsewhere. While Wicca shouldn't be your sole point of reference when considering Wicca as your way of life, it is one of the best starting points. --Brian Patterson Scott Cunningham practiced magic actively for over twenty years. He was the author of more than fifty books covering both fiction and non-fiction subject matter; sixteen of his titles are published by Llewellyn Publications. Scott's books reflect a broad range of interests within the New Age sphere, where he was very highly regarded. He passed from this life on March 28, 1993, after a long illness.

Cunningham's classic introduction to Wicca is about how to live life magically, spiritually, and wholly attuned with nature. It is a book of sense and common sense, not only about magick, but about religion and one of the most critical issues of today: how to achieve the much needed and wholesome relationship with our Earth. Cunningham presents Wicca as it is today: a gentle, Earth-oriented religion dedicated to the Goddess and God. Wicca also includes Scott Cunningham's own Book of Shadows and updated appendices of periodicals and occult suppliers.

Blessings from the High Priest Scott Cunningham was one of Wicca’s finest practitioners I’ve ever had the honor to meet. His devotion, dedication, and determination for providing tested, tried, and true methods of Wiccan Spirituality continue to inspire new generations. A Guide For The Solitary Practioner is top shelf quality. It seemed Scott’s life purpose was to inform and help everyone wanting to learn the true path of Wicca. I am 7th generation. Also, I encourage the use of Scott’s books to my students and coven family. It was Scott’s dream for his writings, and teachings to be considered an American Tradition. We are in reality his students, friends, practitioners solitary or covens continuing his standards for the American Traditions. His love of nature, his love and compassion for his close friends, his partner, and his family are inspirational. His knowledge has become a part of our Traditions.Scott Cunningham, there is a Brighter Star in the midnight’s morning sky and we know you are there. Thank you for giving us these books of wisdom. We share the American Traditions beginning from you. Merry meet and merry part, we give our blessings from the heart. )O(Beginner Must-Have Anyone looking to step into the craft should look no further than this book. Cunningham has such a wonderful voice! He guides the reader but refrains from judgement or narrow rules. It's a great beginner's guide and will leave you wanting more.

I think it's very important simply cause there is a strong emphasis on being a part of a coven in most other books. I still don't feel safe coming out into the real world and feel like people would laugh at me for calling myself a Witch. I'm grateful for this book, it makes me feel safe.

Destruction of Black Civilization Download

ISBN: 0883780305
Title: Destruction of Black Civilization Pdf Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B.C. to 2000 A.D.
Author: Chancellor Williams
Published Date: 1987
Page: 384
The Destruction of Black Civilization took Chancellor Williams sixteen years of research and field study to compile. The book, which was to serve as a reinterpretation of the history of the African race, was intended to be ""a general rebellion against the subtle message from even the most 'liberal' white authors (and their Negro disciples): 'You belong to a race of nobodies. You have no worthwhile history to point to with pride.'"" The book was written at a time when many black students, educators, and scholars were starting to piece together the connection between the way their history was taught and the way they were perceived by others and by themselves. They began to question assumptions made about their history and took it upon themselves to create a new body of historical research. The book is premised on the question: ""If the Blacks were among the very first builders of civilization and their land the birthplace of civilization, what has happened to them that has left them since then, at the bottom of world society, precisely what happened? The Caucasian answer is simple and well-known: The Blacks have always been at the bottom."" Williams instead contends that many elements—nature, imperialism, and stolen legacies— have aided in the destruction of the black civilization. The Destruction of Black Civilization is revelatory and revolutionary because it offers a new approach to the research, teaching, and study of African history by shifting the main focus from the history of Arabs and Europeans in Africa to the Africans themselves, offering instead ""a history of blacks that is a history of blacks. Because only from history can we learn what our strengths were and, especially, in what particular aspect we are weak and vulnerable. Our history can then become at once the foundation and guiding light for united efforts in serious[ly] planning what we should be about now."" It was part of the evolution of the black revolution that took place in the 1970s, as the focus shifted from politics to matters of the mind.

Why is it So? I recommend this book. As a man who has traveled extensively from country to country many of the claims that the writer make, in my opinion are valid. I find this book very enlightening and eye opening to the realism of the world. Why is it so that after years of promises, rallies, demonstrations, committees at the government and local levels nothing truly has changed...the picture just shifted to give the appearance of change. Why is it so that there is little to no history of the black people or the kingdoms built by us?I just can't... I wouldn't waste money on this. I've never written a bad review, but this book was not factual at all. It is misleading Black people even more.I am so glad I bought this book! Empowering book. I have a Masters in African Studies from UCLA and with the exception of Mali, Songhay and Ghana empires, nothing in this book was taught to us. I was self-confident and comfortable in my dark skin before reading this book but after reading this book, I feel so proud of my history...a history I never knew existed.
