Wings Over The Channel
by Eric ForsythWings Over the Channel follows the continuing adventures of Allan Chadwick, a young RAF pilot who completed his tour in Iraq and is now posted to the RAF aviation research center at Farnborough in southern England. It is the mid-1930s and Britain is threatened by belligerent countries such as Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. The rapid development of high-speed bombers negates the centuries-old isolation that Britain enjoyed as an island. <P><P> Chadwick is involved in the RAF’s frantic effort to build an effective radar screen, and uses an early model Spitfire for liaison with outlying radar stations, flying in fair weather or foul, as he contends with the idiosyncrasies of the prototype fighter. Closer to earth he drives an old, monstrous Bentley, which attracts attention wherever he goes. He falls in love with an older, aristocratic widow who supports a secretive upper-class appeasement clique which, unbeknownst to them, has been compromised by the German Abwehr <P><P> British Intelligence decides it is impossible to keep the existence of radar a secret from the German Luftwaffe, but its effectiveness is downplayed in misleading reports fed to the Germans by Chadwick. The success of the deception—and Chadwick’s life— are threatened when an accurate report of radar performance is stolen by a German spy.
Folklore 101: An Accessible Introduction to Folklore Studies
by Jeana JorgensenWhen's the last time you got to pick a folklorist's brain? Did you know memes count as folklore? Or that folklorists assign numbers to fairy tales to keep track of them all? <p><p> The field of folklore studies is over two centuries old, and it's full of amazing insights about human behavior, creativity, and community.

Do traditional holiday foods have a deeper meaning? Yep. Same with folk music, ballads, proverbs, jokes, urban legends, body art, and a ton more genres covered in this book. <p><p> Is the whole book as easy to read and irreverent as this description? Yep. This fun, accessible guide to the academic study of folklore packs in a college class's worth of material, from basic concepts and major folklore genres to special topics based on identity, fancy theories, and more. <p><p> If you've always wanted to take a folklore class, or you're a writer or artist using folklore in your work, or you're just generally interested in the topic, this is the book for you!
Salah: A Believer's Ascension to the Heavens
by Fethullah GulenPrayer is an essential part of a Muslim&’s life. While a believer can pray and offer their devotions any time and any where they like, Islamic tradition prescribes a specific form of prayers to be performed at five different times of the day. It is a celebratory act of submission in which believers align themselves with all other creation by offering their praise and gratitude to God, the Merciful, the Compassionate, as they stand, bow, and prostrate in propriety. These daily prayers are called salah, and this book is an all-comprehensive exploration of this spiritual act by one of the leading Muslim scholars of our time. The focus in this book is more on the spiritual aspect of salah, rather than its formulaic details which can be easily found in countless other manuals.

Pero las viejas heridas se abren cuando llega un nuevo cliente, cuya presencia hace añicos su paz cuidadosamente construida. Ese cliente es Charles, un poderoso brujo que, por veintitrés años, ha sido incapaz de olvidar a la mujer que el deber le obligó a abandonar sin mediar palabra. Ahora, necesita desesperadamente la ayuda de Roxanne para salvar tanto al mundo de los vampiros como al de los brujos de una peligrosa fuerza que se cierne sobre ellos. Pero salvar el mundo no es su único objetivo. Charles quiere recuperar a Roxanne. Mientras se ven obligados a enfrentarse a un enemigo mortal, ¿podrá Roxanne perdonar el pasado y reavivar un amor que creía para siempre perdido? ¿O los secretos y sacrificios de sus historias entrelazadas los condenarán a ellos y al mundo que luchan por proteger?

Pericolo Sensuale (Vampiri di Venezia)
by Tina FolsomPrimi anni del 1800 – Venezia, Italia. Dove antiche pietre sussurrano segreti e le ombre nascondono desideri immortali. Per l'enigmatico vampiro Nico, acquisire un punto d'appoggio strategico in città significa un matrimonio rapido e conveniente, un mezzo per raggiungere l'obiettivo dei suoi fratelli: un ritrovo veneziano sicuro. Il suo piano è semplice: una formale prima notte di nozze, seguita dalla rapida dipartita della sua nuova sposa, che lo lascerà libero di abbandonarsi alla sua esistenza libertina. Ma il destino, con un colpo di scena, gli porta Oriana. La sua bellezza è uno shock, il suo spirito indomito. Nel momento in cui Nico posa gli occhi su di lei, i suoi piani accuratamente elaborati vanno in frantumi come il vetro veneziano. Tuttavia, Oriana nutre ambizioni che vanno ben oltre i confini dell'obbedienza coniugale. La sua passione è la ricerca scientifica, un mondo di intelletto e innovazione che si scontra con le aspettative del suo nuovo e potente marito. Man mano che la loro riluttante unione si evolve, Nico scopre una verità molto più pericolosa della natura indipendente di Oriana. La sua testarda sposa custodisce segreti che potrebbero distruggere non solo la sua esistenza immortale, ma l'intera società dei vampiri di Venezia. Diviso tra il dovere e un desiderio crescente, Nico si trova di fronte a una scelta fatale: eliminare la minaccia che sua moglie rappresenta inconsapevolmente o soccombere alla sfida inebriante della seduzione. Fortunatamente per Nico, l'arte della persuasione, la danza del desiderio, è la sua abilità più spiccata. Svelerà i segreti di Oriana, un bacio rubato, un tocco indugiante alla volta. La attirerà al suo fianco, confondendo i confini tra prigioniero e carceriere, tra animosità e una passione travolgente che potrebbe salvarli entrambi… o portare alla loro distruzione definitiva. Lasciati travolgere da un'ondata di attrazione proibita e secondi fini, dove lo scontro tra intelletto e desiderio immortale accende un fuoco che potrebbe consumare Venezia stessa.
