DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom award-winning author Shana Abé comes the fifth novel in her paranormal Drákon series—featuring a glittering world of supersensual creatures that can shape-shift from human to smoke to dragon. Honor Carlisle may have been born into the drákon clan but she’s always felt like a stranger to her kin—an intuition that proves true when she discovers that she is a Time Weaver: a creature with the extraordinary ability to transport herself into the past or future. On one of her Weaves into the future, Honor encounters the very man she should most avoid: Alexandru of the Zaharen, prince of a rival tribe of drákon. As the two surrender to a desire that brings the present and future ever closer, they also risk fulfilling a terrible prophecy. Now Honor and Sandu must place their trust—and their lives—in each other’s hands, and their faith in a magical love that could restore order to the drákon universe—or destroy it forever.

His presence was a whisper in the cosmic winds, a shimmer in the fabric of reality, for he had mastered the ancient and elusive art of pausing time. Millennia unfurled like the pages of an eternal book as Xander delved into the mysteries of existence. His quest for knowledge led him to celestial beings, guardians of realms beyond mortal comprehension. Amongst the ethereal, he learned the intricacies of temporal manipulation, threading through the frozen moments of existence with an otherworldly grace. Among the celestial beings, Xander sought out masters in the enigmatic frozen reality that only a chosen few could navigate. Master Bruce Lee, a legend in the martial arts, became the guide to physical and mental prowess. Under the tutelage of Bruce Lee, Xander harnessed the energy that resonated within his very being. Master Buddha, serene and enlightened, imparted timeless wisdom transcending the boundaries of time itself. Xander learned to find balance amidst the chaos, drawing from the well of inner peace that Buddha revealed. In the shadow of ancient mountains, Master Po, the Dragon Warrior, bestowed upon Xander the secrets of combat and the essence of courage. Po, with a touch of humor and the wisdom of ages, became a beacon in the frozen tapestry of Xander's existence. Little did Xander know that his journey through the epochs had silent witnesses — the "Vampires of Light." Immortal beings, devoted to preserving the delicate balance of existence, they observed Xander's mastery from the celestial shadows. Their radiant glow concealed eons of wisdom, and their purpose was as mysterious as the dimensions through which Xander traversed. As the cosmic clock ticked in the silent corridors of eternity, Xander stood at the crossroads of time, a weaver of moments, a seeker of balance. The celestial beings, the legendary masters, and the silent observers prepared to play their parts in the unfolding epic that spanned the ages. The stage was set, and Xander, the time traveler, prepared to unravel the secrets of the boundless tapestry that lay before him.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe dramatic untold story of the Weavers, the hit-making folk-pop quartet destroyed with the aid of the United States government -- and who changed the world, anyway Following a series of top-ten hits that became instant American standards, the Weavers dissolved at the height of their fame. Wasn't That a Time: The Weavers, the Blacklist, and the Battle for the Soul of America details the remarkable rise of Pete Seeger's unlikely band of folk heroes, from basement hootenannies to the top of the charts, and the harassment campaign that brought them down. Exploring how a pop group's harmonies might be heard as a threat worthy of decades of investigation by the FBI, Wasn't That a Time turns the black-and-white 1950s into vivid color, using the Weavers to illuminate a dark and complex period of American history. With origins in the radical folk collective the Almanac Singers and the ambitious People's Songs, the singing activists in the Weavers set out to change the world with songs as their weapons, pioneering the use of music as a transformative political organizing tool. Using previously unseen journals and letters, unreleased recordings, once-secret government documents, and other archival research, Jesse Jarnow uncovers the immense hopes, incredible pressures, and daily struggles of the four distinct and often unharmonious personalities at the heart of the Weavers. In an era defined by a sharp political divide that feels all too familiar, the Weavers became heroes. With a class -- and race -- conscious global vision that now makes them seem like time travelers from the twenty-first century, the Weavers became a direct influence on a generation of musicians and listeners, teaching the power of eclectic songs and joyous, participatory harmonies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMerchants were central to the huge growth in China’s foreign trade and contributed to the development of world markets and networks. Merchants of Canton and Macao: Success and Failure in Eighteenth-Century Chinese Trade brings together much new research about the inner workings of the merchants of Canton and Macao. The book studies in detail the leading Chinese merchants and merchant families as well as the porcelain and silk trades. By examining the successes and failures of dozens of Chinese merchants involved in foreign trade, it provides fresh insights into China’s unique form of capitalism and her role in the rise of global commerce. Van Dyke’s conclusions on the nature of Qing policy towards foreign trade are bold, original and supported by intensive research. In contrast to the traditional focus on British and American trade, his research draws on archives in multiple languages, spread around the world. ‘Like its predecessor, this volume offers a detailed and vivid reconstruction of business practices based on a remarkable collection of archival sources in Chinese and diverse European languages. It will be especially welcome by economic historians as well as anyone who wants to understand global history as it played out in a particular place.’ —R. Bin Wong, Distinguished Professor of History and director of the Asia Institute, UCLA ‘Once again Paul Van Dyke has plumbed the depths of the archives to provide us with an extraordinary catalogue of the activities of European and Chinese traders during the heyday of the Canton trade. In this second volume of his encyclopedic study, Van Dyke focuses in detail on the transactions that took place between foreign private and company traders and Chinese licensed merchants.’ —Madeleine Zelin, Dean Lung Professor of Chinese Studies, Columbia University ‘This is a great study which will be the ultimate work on the subject for many years to come. It is as complete as the available documentation at present makes possible; it is concise, well organized and the subject is researched with great thoroughness.’ —Christiaan Jörg, author of Porcelain and the Dutch China Trade

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCottons and Casuals explores the connections between women's work in different spheres since the 1930s: paid employment, at home, and in the community. Women's own testimony and an array of other source materials are used to develop new ways of looking at their changing patterns of living and working. The book examines changes in the organisation and commodification of domestic production and consumption, the use of technology, housing, family structures, gender relations and inter-generational mother-daughter relations. Differing temporalities of work are highlighted, as are their far-reaching effects for the organisation of peoples' lives and life courses. The significance of varying locations and spatial organisations of work for communities, streets, families and gender relations provides another important focus. In the process, Glucksmann addresses the nature of the research process, reflecting on her sources and her own work in the production of knowledge
