“ Set in the rain-forests of Thailand, the book attempts to explain some of the author’s theories, by way of allegory, to some of the most difficult questions each and every member of mankind has faced throughout all of time. “Why me?” “Life isn’t fair” “What happens when I die?” “What did I do to deserve this?”It’s also a gripping tale of pursuit, tragedy and surmounting tremendous odds. For those who identify themselves in the book, it’s a tale of their own personal struggles, hardship and what could be their greatest reward for staying their ground and not giving up. Enjoy.”

The Dark Lord has sent his fearsome Blood Riders and a fire-breathing dragon to destroy the whole of Camelot and Avalon and neither Uther Pendragon, the King of Camelot, nor Galapas, its High Mage, can stand against these Dark Magic driven forces. But there is one who carries the Old Magic with him, the only problem is that he is only eleven years old and has never even seen a dragon let alone confronted one. He is the Raven Boy, for that is the name that the ravens know him by, but to the world he is Merlin and he is the son of Mithras Invictus the greatest and most powerful of the Elder gods. The Blood Riders are burning and slaughtering all before them and Merlin knows that he must summon the Old Magic and the magical talking beasts of Avalon to save Camelot from being totally and completely destroyed by the Forces of the Dark.

Translated from Norwegian and published in 1911, this two-volume work traces Arctic exploration from antiquity to the sixteenth century.

The horrific tragedies of Central Africa in the 1990s riveted the attention of the world. But these crises did not occur in a historical vacuum. By peering through the mists of the past, the case studies presented in The Land Beyond the Mists illustrate the significant advances to have taken place since decolonization in our understanding of the pre-colonial histories of Rwanda, Burundi, and eastern Congo. Based on both oral and written sources, these essays are important both for their methods—viewing history from the perspective of local actors—and for their conclusions, which seriously challenge colonial myths about the area.
