Sometimes you have to dance in the minefield ...Navy SEAL, JD Cordell, is ready to retire and take his K9 partner, Ajax, with him. JD has exciting plans for a new life that includes the courageous and beautiful Doctor Ellen Chang he met on a mission in Niger. But when JD's father unexpectedly dies of cancer, his grieving mother, Mai, travels to Vietnam to search for her adopted Montagnard brother, a brother she hasn't seen in over forty years. During her attempt to track him down, Mai unwittingly steps into a blood feud between her Montagnard brother and a powerful Vietnamese drug lord, a bitter hatred that began during the Vietnam War. When his mother disappears into the seedy underbelly of Ho Chi Minh City, JD has no choice but to come out of retirement for one last explosive mission. And Ajax is with him all the way. While a sequel, this fantastic story stands very well on its own. And if you liked Serpents Underfoot, you're going to love Montagnard. Order your copy now

Lycanthropes have always been a violent bunch, settling even the smallest disputes with fatal combat. In their world, every matter is black and white and loyalty to the family is absolute. Now, one wayward lycan has made it his mission to change the minds and traditions of his warring race. Kal and Ellesse return in the second volume of Redrowen to face a new and surprising threat. With the Order still lurking in the shadows, and both the fairy and lycanthrope races now driven deeper into hiding, Kal must face a threat from within in the form of a vengeful prime. With more threats than he can count, and the fate of two races in his hands, Kal has his work cut out for him. Can he succeed in bringing peace to a world that has only ever known violence or will this would-be savior lose himself to the darkness?
Este libro supera las limitaciones de las traducciones convencionales del YiJing, permitiendo al lector un vistazo al texto chino subyacente, para que pueda armar sus propias lecturas del YiJing.La Matriz de significados del Libro de los Cambios est dirigida a quienes ya conocen el Libro de los Cambios y desean comprender mejor su mensaje original. Los caracteres chinos o sinogramas, que fueron usados para escribir el YiJing, tienen m ltiples significados que no pueden abarcarse en su totalidad al ser traducidos a un lenguaje occidental, porque inevitablemente su gama de significados resulta truncada. Aunque estas limitaciones de las traducciones del YiJing no pueden evitarse, este libro ofrece al lector de habla espa ola una herramienta que le permitir entender con m s profundidad los muchos caminos posibles que las sentencias del YiJing sugieren.Esta traducci n del YiJing incluye: El Dictamen (GuaCi), La Imagen (DaXiang) y los comentarios asignados a las l neas de los hexagramas (YaoCi), pero en lugar de agregarles nuestra propia interpretaci n, ofrecemos tablas de significados de los sinogramas, que le permiten al lector tomar nuestra traducci n s lo como un punto de referencia. El lector as podr , combinando de distintas formas los m ltiples sentidos de los sinogramas, apreciar mejor los sutiles matices de significado de las sentencias del YiJing, como tambi n armar lecturas alternativas de los textos.Mostramos cada sentencia del YiJing en una tabla, o matriz de significados, que se lee desde arriba hacia abajo, tal como se leen los textos chinos tradicionales. Cada l nea de la tabla muestra el significado de un sinograma, y se divide en cuatro columnas: en la primera se muestra el sinograma; en la segunda su pronunciaci n, usando el sistema de romanizaci n PinYin; en la tercera su n mero en el diccionario Chino-Ingl s de Mathews y en la cuarta su gama de significados.Al preparar este libro nos hemos atenido al significado cl sico del YiJing, tal como se ha interpretado desde la dinast a Han, hasta la Qing. El texto original usado para esta traducci n, es el Zhouyi Zhezhong, "Comentarios Balanceados sobre el ZhouYi", editado en 1715 bajo el patrocinio de la dinast a Qing. Es el mismo texto utilizado por Wilhelm y por muchos otros sin logos como la base de sus traducciones.PinYin utiliza cuatro tonos para indicar la pronunciaci n de cada s laba, indicando los mismos ya sea con diferentes acentos o con n meros, como en nuestra obra. El ap ndice sobre pronunciaci n PinYin tiene m s informaci n al respecto.Debido a que esta obra no est dirigida a quienes reci n se inician con el Libro de los Cambios, sino a los que ya est n familiarizados con el mismo, no indicamos como consultar al YiJing ni agregamos ning n otro material adicional, excepto una Concordancia de caracteres que permite estudiar las repeticiones de los diferentes sinogramas a lo largo de libro, de acuerdo a su n mero correspondiente en el diccionario de Mathews.

Three slaves run away from a cotton plantation to seek freedom in British territory. The best bounty hunters money can buy are hired and horrendous punishments await the returned fugitives. The outcome should be oh-so predictable. Yet no one can foresee the far-reaching impacts the escape will have on the plantation, the girl left behind, helpful strangers, the bounty hunters, and ordinary people from Tennessee to what is now Ontario, then called Canada West.Runaway slaves discover they are not safe even when they cross the international border. For lucrative rewards, bounty hunters are abducting newcomers and returning them to their previous hellish existence. When concerned citizens form vigilance committees to put a stop to the practice, reluctant heroes get caught up in bloodshed that changes their lives forever.The Only Thing Necessary: A Tale from the Cameron Line is a story of hardships, the quest for freedom, loss, generosity, racial prejudice, betrayal, clashing moral codes, friendship, and violence. The tale begins with a flight from bondage. It evolves into the immigrant's attempt to find a place in his new society and a mission to prepare for an invasion of British North America by an increasingly troubled United States.

Constipation may simply be a symptom that signi?es an obsessive desire to defecate with regular frequency. The authors of this text,however,have demonstrated admirably that this nebulous condition often has a multifaceted etiology. I enjoyed reading this exc- lent text,which covers the gamut of topics related to the etiology,assessment,investi- tion,and management of constipation. The editors have recruited an international team of exemplary ability and have amassed a very comprehensive and consistent text. The chapters merge imperceptibly with minimal repetition. Novel treatments and the more accepted approaches have been presented in considerable detail. This book should be considered the standard for health care professionals managing functional bowel and allied disorders. It provides a benchmark on how to approach and treat the constipated patient. The majority of the authors have been my esteemed colleagues for a number of years; thus it is with particular pleasure that I am able to share their opinions so ably expressed in their respective chapters. This book demonstrates that coloproctology remains a dynamic specialty that provides a holistic approach to constipation. Man- ing constipation without understanding the psyche and emotions, together with the background of emotional and physical traumas of life, would be analogous to walking blindfolded. It has been my pleasure and privilege to have been associated with the editors for some nineteen years and to watch their reputations grow in the international arena. It has been an honor to write the foreword for this book which deserves great success.

This important collection of essays assesses the harvest of the post-colonial project. It spans an impressive range, from stimulating sceptical analysis by distinguished novelists Nayantara Sahgal and Dan Jacobson on the forces that underlie much post-colonial literature and Yasmine Gooneratne on issues of gender, to original essays by eminent critics. The scholarly essays examine crucial general topics: Ken Goodwin on writing as a reflection of reactions to the colonial encounter; Zohreh T. Sullivan and Satendra Nandan on the discourse and experience of migrancy; Gerhard Stilz on transformations of tropical landscape; Bruce Bennett on regionalism in an Australian context and Bernth Lindfors on the actual teaching situation. This book with its international team of contributors offers the kind of periodical assessment which post-colonial literature needs, and is accessible as well as valuable to the student, general reader and scholar alike.
