Karim Khan Zand was an exceptional Persian ruler of the eighteenth century. Formerly an obscure Tribal chieftain, he came to power in the chaotic interregnum following the death of Nader Shah Afshar, a man celebrated for expelling the Afghan invaders from Iran but notorious for his subsequent tyranny. This comprehensive biography examines Karim Khan’s time as leader and illustrates the evolution of Iran's unique identity among the emerging nations of western Asia. Arguing that Karim Khan’s rule was the pivot in an era stretching from the 1500s, when the Safavid dynasty founded a kingdom with Imami Shi'ism as its official religion, to the revolt against the monarchy in 1979, this invaluable study provides a fascinating examination of the history of both Iran and one of its greatest leaders.

The stock market crashes, threatening to bring Plymouth's secret magical "Wise" families down with it. When Bill and Millie's precognitive Uncle Finn threatens to usurp their father and take control of all the Wise families, the twins realize they must stop him. Bill's telepathic powers and ambition aren't enough to outmaneuver his uncle, even with help from his sister and their similarly powered friends. Uncle Finn has an alliance with the Irish Mob up in Boston. Bill needs connections and there's only one place to do that in this town. The Plymouth Supper Club hides hooch and rumrunners like a backdrop covers warehouse walls on Poverty Row.

Evangelicals need help from Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) in cultivating an ethic fueled by the rescuing work of Christ. This 19th-century Victorian-era pastor from a London megachurch helped provide a gospel compass that directed Christians in both the head and the heart in their approach to the troubles of society. His work assists American evangelicals in this part of the 21st century by addressing some of the significant issues of the present time: patriotism/nationalism, racism, and religious liberty. This book analyzes the sermons of Charles Spurgeon to construct a gospel-centered ethic toward the vulnerable and downtrodden of society. Many of the events and situations that marked his day parallels the circumstances of the present day. Spurgeon's approach (from both preaching and writing) provides the present evangelical world with a necessary template to move forward biblically and ethically.
It's always the quiet ones. I've finally found my footing at Hawthorn Academy. Friends, classes, and my dragonet make it fun. I'm even playing a magical sport. Everything's perfect. Except it's not. The voice in my head persists through it all, and it's nearly impossible to keep my extra powers secret. I'm worried the wrong people will notice. Like someone poisonous. The quietest guy in class, Alex Onassis, pays way too much attention to me. He's Greek nobility so he can't want a Jewish girl from a stateside tourist town. My roommate thinks it's harmless flirting. My big brother doesn't like it, but won't say why. I figure it's got something to do with my extra powers. But does he want a harmless date or something more sinister? What do I do if he starts trouble?

The system is broken and if I'm not careful, it'll break me too. While my peers get excited for college, I brace for disaster. I've learned at Hawthorn Academy that danger can happen to anyone. To the jock. To the class clown. To my brother. Now I'm in the line of fire. All known extramagi must have their abilities tested. The way they do it is a horrifying secret. After witnessing one last year, I made a plan to expose the ugly truth. But there's a mind magus on campus now, threatening me. And he's totally within his rights to do so.

And Mr. Pierce thinks I'm taking advantage of his children. All because extramagi are supposedly evil. But now I suspect we're scapegoats the influential families pin blame on.
