Ever since the first stories about aliens were written, the "what ifs?" have been explored. Suppose there were intelligent beings observing earth from another galaxy? Would they view the inhabitants of this world as inferior? Would their interests serve mankind or themselves, or both? A FLICKER FROM AFAR captures the flare of the old 1950's science fiction movies viewed on Saturday afternoons when life wasn't as hectic or complicated. In the story, life on earth is about to change dramatically as man's penchant for violence is leading to mass destruction. All live with the harsh reality of impending world war, the disease, starvation and death brought about by man's thirst for power. But another force, representatives of an alien civilization, arrives to take control of earth. What are their motives? Do they come to save or to conquer?

Now it is possible for the first time to trace in a systematic way the language patterns of one of the greatest poets who have written in English, W. B. Yeats. Like A Concordance to the Poems of Matthew Arnold, the first of the Cornell Concordances that are under the general editorship of Professor Parrish, this volume was produced on an IBM 704 electronic data-processing machine. Computer technique has so advanced that the Yeats concordance includes punctuation and gives cross references for the second parts of hyphenated words. The frequency of every word in Yeats's poems is given, and an appendix lists all indexed words in order of frequency. The body of this book consists of an index of all significant words in Yeats, each word listed in the line or lines in which it occurs. The concordance is based on the variorum text of Yeats, edited by Alspach and Allt, and includes all variants that occur in printed versions of Yeats's poems.

The life of leaders and those who follow where life has said to have been an endless mystery all through time. Even in their youth, Anne and James knew their lives would not be of an Earthly norm like that of so many others around them. Left orphaned at the mere age of ten after his parents perished in a car crash, James quickly found himself desperate to survive the harsh winter in the city streets of New York City, but even where struggle would try its best to plague him, fate would be there to choose a different path--one far different to anything his Earthly world was accustomed to. Near starving and forced to thievery, the normality of an orphaned childhood would be quick to change by the rescue of Captain Jonathan Collins and Lyra Rishall, who both saw the boy for who he really was and would hopefully become. And in the time of defining who they really are decades later, James and his beloved Anne were to reawaken their past and take part in the protection of worlds, the defense against a Universal Imbalance and the understanding of how the worlds, like Earth, were about to experience something that would alter nearly every aspect of life. And where war progresses, the Great Battle is imminent where magic, the skill of FBI, travel to other worlds, family, and friendship need only prevail in the threat of coming darkness. 2

Sir Lancelot will make you swoon in this steamy, modern-day adventure of valiant knights, sassy witches and the death of chivalry! Lance has loved Lady Gwin for a hundred years. Though he’s the best knight in Camelot, his low birth ensured that she was beyond his suit, and so she was promised to another. But when Lance and Gwin’s lips accidentally meet, Lance flees Camelot, rushing into battle recklessly to avoid conquering the one quest he’s never completed: having the noble Lady Gwin in his arms. Lady Gwin has been living a lie for a hundred years. Her arranged marriage linked two powerful families, ensuring her place among her people—but her vows were never consummated, and her union to a treasonous wizard is a sham. Now, she’s ready to tell the world the truth, starting with the man who captured her heart just before her wedding day. But when a stolen kiss sends Lance running unprepared into a dangerous mission, Gwin is determined to save him. Though forbidden love has drawn them together, the pressures of society and the pursuit of a deadly enemy threaten to tear Lance and Gwin apart. In a place as steeped in ancient tradition and duty as Camelot, following their hearts could spell disaster. But finally giving into their hearts could save them both. One Knight is the second book in a series of modern-day retellings of the myths and lore of Camelot. If you like fierce knights who would lay down their lives for their brothers and lose their hearts for their women, then you’ll love the Knights of Caerleon.
