"It's time for the world to feel the fire of a Dark Elf's heart."Shaken and scarred from their deadly encounter with the Dark Elves, Mara and Silmanus embark on a journey south to the Dark Elf kingdom, Vanaria, in an effort to halt whatever plot the Dark Elves have set in motion. Accompanied only by a group of trusted friends, they will have to rely on skill, wits, and shaky alliances if they are to overcome the inescapable dangers and grievous trials of their quest."You're a pirate," Mara said flatly."And you're an outlaw," Calixta retorted.Meanwhile, after their harrowing escape from the Dark Elf cells, Jeddo, Amber, and their fellow escaped prisoners wait restlessly in Fort Vanguard to warn the Fire Dwarves of Pyradia about the Dark Elves and to rescue a friend left behind. But the horrors of the Dark Elf prisons have yet to fade, a grim reality Amber and Jeddo must face as a series of unforeseeable events pushes them down a path they do not want to travel.Jeddo's stomach started to twist as he realized what had to be done, bile burning its way up his throat behind his pounding heart.As the pieces of the Dark Elves' deadly puzzle finally click into place, a desperate race to stop their cataclysmic plan begins. The four adventurers will be pushed to their limits as they are forced to take the fate of Aeternerras into their hands.And if they fail, the world will burn....
Dynamic Trip Modelling

Dynamic Trip Modelling

The thesis of this book is that there are one set of equations that can define any trip between an origin and destination. The idea originally came from work that I did when applying the hydrodynamic analogy to study congested traffic flows in 1981. However, I was disappointed to find out that much of the mathematical work had already been done decades earlier. When I looked for a new application, I realised that shopping centre demand could be like a longitudinal wave, governed by centre opening and closing times. Further, a solution to the differential equation was the gravity model and this suggested that time was somehow part of distance decay. This was published in 1985 and represented a different approach to spatial interaction modelling. The next step was to translate the abstract theory into something that could be tested empirically. To this end, I am grateful to my Ph. D supervisor, Professor Barry Garner who taught me that it is not sufficient just to have a theoretical model. This book is an outcome of this on-going quest to look at how the evolution of the model performs against real world data. This is a far more difficult process than numerical simulations, but the results have been more valuable to policy formulation, and closer to what I think is spatial science. The testing and application of the model required the compilation of shopping centre surveys and an Internet data set.

"Believe me when I say, if you do not fear Dark Elves, you are a fool, for there is much to be afraid of."Silmanus and Mara are the unlikeliest of allies: an elven wizard and a human outlaw. Plunged together in a struggle for survival, desperation and necessity form an uneasy alliance between elf and human, an alliance challenged by the most lethal warriors in Aeternerras-the sinister Dark Elves. Much to his astonishment, Silmanus discovers his lowly views towards humans are misplaced as he fights side-by-side with them as equals. But could a wizard and a human have anything in common?"As you are not an Arcanist-that is, someone who uses magic-you are probably under the impression that living things have souls or spirits."On the other side of the world, companions Amber and Jeddo-dwarf and gnome-have devoted their lives to hunting down monsters that escape The Fell Lands, naturally reaping the profits that this profession brings. Their ventures become far more trouble than they are worth when the two are taken captive by Dark Elves becoming entangled in a web of death and deceit."Growling, Amber pushed herself to her feet, but Mordasine's boot shoved her back down. 'On your knees, filth, ' he hissed."In From out of the Shadows, blood is spilled and tears are shed as these four fight for freedom. Many questions remain, questions of trust, motivations, and uncertainty. One question supersedes them all, "What are the Dark Elves plotting - and what other evils are lurking in the shadows?"...

Violent Loyalties

Being an Irish man was a consistent, contentious issue in the Canadas. The aim of this book is to provide the first gendered examination of male Irish migration to Upper and Lower Canada within the broader contexts of negative stereotypes about Irish violence and Irishmen’s questionable loyalty to the British Empire. Through examinations of key violent episodes and (in)famous individuals, Violent Loyalties argues that being an Irishman in the Canadas meant daily negotiations with discrimination, ethnic rivalries, the pressure to become more ‘British’, and having to base one’s sense of manliness on being the most visible ‘other’ in the colonies. Irish Catholics faced the burden of being dual minorities – the ‘other’ religion within the Anglophone world and English-speaking in the Catholic sphere already established by French-Canadians. Irish Protestants also had difficulties adapting to their new communities, as the problematic association with violent Orangeism and rivalries with Scottish and English immigrants, many of whom were United Empire Loyalists, created obstacles in the quest for upward social mobility. Both Canadian and Irish historiographies are sorely lacking in examinations of masculinity compared with those investigating American, French, Australian, or British manliness. This gap in the literature becomes even more apparent outside of a twentieth-century focus. Violent Loyalties aims to fill these lacunae in the histories of colonial Canada and the Irish diaspora.

When Shelley, the English poet of the nineteenth century, and Sri Sri of the twentieth meet in the kingdom of Krishnadevara of the sixteenth century, anachronisms abound. The English poet of romantic poetry, the revolutionary poet who delinked poetry and its grammar, and the traditional poets who formed Ashtadiggajamulu (the eight eminent poets of the king's court) form the three vertices of poetry. When the three meet in the king's court, a no mean poet himself, the literary fireworks will delight any reader of Andhra, Telangana, and Karnataka regions and origins.
