But just as he takes up the cause of the Jiang freedom fighters against the remorseless forces of the Emperor, Llewelyn discovers the horrifying truth behind their plans for Gelert...5-STAR REVIEWS FROM AMAZON (Kindle version)"I loved it. Brilliant for young adults and their grown ups , - I am a teacher so I read this book originally thinking of it as a book for teenage boys. However, I quickly got sucked into it, and loved it as an adult. It is beautifully written with both good language and great colloquialisms which make it fun, and personalize the characters. It is an adventure of boy and his dog, with elements of medieval history, loads of geographical references and just enough science to keep us curious. Can't wait for the sequel "Katrina Nicosia August 8, 2013 "My 11 year old couldn't put it down , This book is great for a wide range of ages. Lots of twists and turns and completely unpredictable. I downloaded it on a recommendation but didn't get to read it first as my 11 year old boy had his 'head in the book' until he had finished it He loved it, as did I and can't wait for the next one from this author "Emma Gardiner July 25, 2013"A Rip Snorting Read. - I'm not keen on dogs - they smell and they slobber all over you - but I loved this It's unlike anything else I've ever read before. For sure it's a familiar genre of action adventure with a couple of teenagers as the heroes but the characters are fresh and exciting and the plot revolves around believable exotic breeds of dogs rather than easy magic worlds and hobgoblins. It's very visceral; there's plenty of gore, vomit and other bodily mess to satisfy the most ghoulish young reader and set in the 1200's it's brings to life a period of time which rarely appears in fiction - let alone childrens' fiction. 10/10 for originality and well crafted imagination."Kelvin Johnston 4 July 2013"A cracking good read. This isn't really the kind of book I'd normally go for, like Harry Potter wasn't, but I found this as addictive. It rattles along and I like the juxtaposition between traditional telling of the tale and the use of 'today talk'. The author uses it brilliantly to lighten the tone and introduce humour. And I love the first sentence of Chapter Two, no twelve-year-old would be able to resist reading on... All the time I was reading, I was running the film in my mind. In colour. The only other writer to do that to me is Nicholas Evans (The Horse Whisperer). A cracking good read.Redacteur 31 July 20134 STARS: "Great book for young adults-, or even younger I'm not in this category, more into the Jane Austin genre] but downloaded it on my Kindle out of curiosity, and loved it. It's just great fun, with medieval history given a new slant, and enough gruesome stuff to appeal to those who like this sort of thing. I was so happy for Gelert - I always hated the thought of him being undeservedly slain, and have been known to sob at his grave... this lovely wolf hound certainly had a very complicated later life "Willia 27 July 2013

Learning to see with the eyes of the ancient Chinese sages can change your view of the universe, as David Hinton demonstrates. He takes us on a series of walks up Hunger Mountain, a wilderness area near his home in Vermont. What he sees and describes about these outings is informed by the cosmos-view he's imbibed from his many years of translating Chinese poetry: a way of looking at nature, and our place in it, and a particular way of regarding the relationship between ourselves and the universe. It's a view that informs all the great Chinese poetry and art. It's found in Taoism and Chinese expressions of Buddhism, but it predates them by millennia, going back probably to the Paleolithic Age--and it's found in the structures of the Chinese language itself, and in the evolution of the system of writing. Each chapter takes its name and theme from a character of the Chinese alphabet, whose history and development Hinton examines. They originate as primitive marks, very literally expressing the simplest of ideas, from which they grow and develop through time to express concepts of great subtlety. The poets and artists understood this and kept their focus on the emptiness that gives birth to all things as they used language and images that sprang from that emptiness. We learn about this as David walks up and around Hunger Mountain, making observations about the landscape, his place in it, and the underlying geological reality, telling stories of the great poets as he goes. It's the profoundest kind of nature writing, and it's an exceptionally accessible entree to an ancient Chinese view of the universe.

Preventable diseases are skyrocketing. One in three Americans is prediabetic. Even our brains are changing. Here's the science: New evidence shows that foods high in saturated fat, refined carbohydrates and sugar are causing hypothalamic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction, disrupting the normal function of the hunger and fullness hormones, ghrelin, and leptin. What does that mean? We're making ourselves and our kids sick. We are chronically ill, overweight, seriously damaged people. HUNGER HIJACK is a blunt, pull-no-punches book by physician, author, and journalist Dr. David Sherer. In it, he reveals the evidence linking our diets and our ever-worsening health, including: --what kind of "food" raises your risk for serious chronic disease--the high economic cost and negative environmental impact of ultra-processed food (UPF)--how plastics are affecting health worldwide--the national defense implications of overweight/obesity--the imminent perfect storm of deteriorating health and the physician and nursing shortages David Sherer, M.D. is the author of bestsellers WHAT YOUR DOCTOR WON'T TELL YOU and HOSPITAL SURVIVAL GUIDE and a recognized expert in healthy and medicine safety. Since retiring from his clinical anesthesiology practice, he has devoted his writing and advocacy to patient education.

Hunters in the Digital Age is for tech business founders and the leaders and advisors who work alongside them. It is for anyone who aspires to grow an outstanding business and change the world around us. The UK tech industry flourishes. Following two decades of rapid evolution, digital technologies have truly come of age. Innovation ecosystems with incubators, accelerators, investor and founder networks have spread from Silicon Valley to the UK. All provide many opportunities to build a successful technology business. Many highly successful start-ups that have achieved massive growth are not household names. They transform the world around us with little recognition beyond their niche markets. Their founders are not held up as examples of how to create huge value from nothing and how to make a real difference in the world. Whilst many do not seek this recognition, we need these role models and pathfinders to inspire the next wave of entrepreneurs and thus benefit everyone within the UK economy. Over the past 20 years, the Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50 has recognised these businesses. This book celebrates a milestone anniversary and the significant contribution winners have made. It illuminates the paths you too can take if you are to follow in their pioneering footsteps. It will help you ask key questions at pivotal times and find the right answers and solutions for you and your business. Hunters in the Digital Age is divided into 3 sections. Part I, Stories, shares the stories of extraordinarily successful UK businesses as well as my own journey of learning and discovery. Each unique story reveals significant keys to success and can be read in isolation or with the other stories to form a more comprehensive picture, thus helping develop depth of understanding. Part II, The Founders' World, shares the perspectives and world views of successful founders. These are very different to those of the many who have followed the well trodden path of employment in established organisations. Introducing The Map of Growth, Part II reveals the key paths to success and the classic traps and minefields to avoid. Part III, Finding Your Way, shows you essential questions to ask and when to ask them so that you can find your own answers and paths towards phenomenal growth and a legacy that endures.
