Mander’s Dragons: The Return of the Nathum By Luis Rosario If you like riding dragons, wielding magic swords, and meeting elves, then you’d better join Calim and his friends on this dragon-riding adventure! Flying away from Azem Canyon, Calim and his four friends take flight on four dragons to save the world from the mysterious Nathum…the only problem is that it involves many chances to die, earn some large injuries, and, of course, losing three to four limbs. This fantasy joyride takes readers from Canyon City, to the Dark Sea, and even to the Elven world…while keeping the magic up with a humorous twist.

In this sequel to Summer of '61, Billy Carlsen has managed to scrape through his senior year at high school and is off to Sowsbury Agricultural College to join the freshman class. It is the fall of '63, and life on campus is a real blast. Panty raids, beer in the milk coolers, tomato fights, a bull in the girls dorm, rugby, young people at the pub, the college review, stink bombs, boat races, and a bevy of campus beauties all seem to be conspiring to keep Bill from his studies. William Francis Carlsen is ditching a truckload of lectures and appears to be in for a meteoric ride at university unless he straightens up and flies right. Take a trip down memory lane and get a belly laugh or two from Billy's adventures as a frosh at the Cow College.

In the mist-shrouded haze of the past, the world of Azeroth teemed with wondrous creatures of every kind. Mysterious Elves and hardy Dwarves walked among tribes of man in relative peace and harmony -- until the arrival of the demonic army known as Burning Legion shattered the world's tranquility forever. Now Orcs, Dragons, Goblins, and Trolls all vie for supremacy over the scattered, warring kingdoms -- part of a grand, malevolent scheme that will determine the fate of the world of WarCraft A terrifying upheaval among the highest ranks of the world's Wizards sends the maverick Mage, Rhonin, on a perilous journey into the Orc-controlled lands of Khaz Modan. What Rhonin uncovers is a vast, far-reaching conspiracy, darker than anything he ever imagined -- a threat that will force him into a dangerous alliance with ancient creatures of air and Þre if the world of Azeroth is to see another dawn.

Winner of the 2023 Roland H. Bainton Prize for Art History Written by the poet-painter Karel van Mander, who finished it in June 1603, the Grondt der edel, vry schilderconst (Foundation of the Noble, Free Art of Painting) was the first systematic treatise on schilderconst (the art of painting / picturing) to be published in Dutch (Haarlem: Paschier van Wes[t]busch, 1604). This English-language edition of the Grondt, accompanied by an introductory monograph and a full critical apparatus, provides unprecedented access to Van Mander’s crucially important art treatise. The book sheds light on key terms and critical categories such as schilder, manier, uyt zijn selven doen, welstandt, leven and gheest, and wel schilderen, and both exemplifies and explicates the author’s distinctive views on the complementary forms and functions of history and landscape.

This book is a pioneering work on a key iconographic motif, that of the dragon. It examines the perception of this complex, multifaceted motif within the overall intellectual and visual universe of the medieval Irano-Turkish world. Using a broadly comparative approach, the author explores the ever-shifting semantics of the dragon motif as it emerges in neighbouring Muslim and non-Muslim cultures. The book will be of particular interest to those concerned with the relationship between the pre-Islamic, Islamic and Eastern Christian (especially Armenian) world. The study is fully illustrated, with 209 (b/w and full colour) plates, many of previously unpublished material. Illustrations include photographs of architectural structures visited by the author, as well as a vast collection of artefacts, all of which are described and discussed in detail with inscription readings, historical data and textual sources.
