The ancient battle between good and evil is nearing its end. Evil is winning. Since ancient times, our planet has been visited by super-intelligent aliens who shift between parallel worlds as easily as we move from sunlight to shadow. Described in our myths as angels, gods, and demons, these trans-dimensional beings often walk among us unnoticed, but they're locked in a battle older than time, with our future hanging in the balance. The Archons' goal is to destroy the human race and seize our world for their own. Standing against them are the Irin, a benevolent race of winged aliens with great power but limited numbers. As our planet sinks rapidly toward apocalyptic doom, our only hope lies in the Synaxis, a group of ordinary men and women conscripted by the Irin and given supernormal powers. But it's a race against time. And as the Synaxis members trek across the Scottish highlands to open the ancient dimensional portal on Iona, they must overcome heavily-armed psychopaths, flying bat-winged demons, and the awakening of a long-dormant volcano. Most of all, they must learn how to use their fantastic new powers to drive back the Archons and rescue the world from destruction.
The engineering life cycle for complex systems design and development, where partners are dispersed in different locations, requires the set-up of adequate and controlled processes involving many different disciplines. The “design integration” and the final “system physical/functional integration and qualification” imply a high degree of cross-interaction among the partners. The - place technical information systems supporting the life cycle activities are specialized with respect to the needs of each actor in the process chain and are highly heterogeneous between them. To globally innovate in-place processes, specialists must be able to work as a unique team, in a virtual enterprise model. To this aim, it is necessary to make interoperable the different technical information systems and to define co-operative engineering processes, which take into account “distributed roles”, “shared activities”, and “distributed process controls”. In this frame an innovative study, aimed at addressing this process with the goal of identifying proper solutions – in terms of design, implementation, and deployment – has been carried out with the support of the European Community and the participation of major industrial companies and research centers.

This book covers a wide range of issues relating to the use of portals in business.
Trouble's brewing in both worlds. Friends or enemies - it'll take everyone the Dragon Tasker knows to stop it. Jean-Michel and Gabriel are in our world of Gaia, investigating who is responsible for opening dangerous portals between worlds. As they investigate the corruption around them, they also explore their own connections and emotions. Meanwhile, Jean-Michel's best friend, Devon Weylyn, must travel back to his world of Ordia to help the family and pack he left behind. Pack Weylyn is in dire straits, but to help means relying on people he thought were enemies. Tightly regulated portals connect these sister worlds. Not many beings have the power to create unnatural portals nor the desire to create such unstable doorways. Who is taking the risk, and could this be tied to the wars and struggles of the Ordian Packlands? Who would benefit? Who might pay? Will the secrets uncovered in both worlds drive our heroes together or rip them apart? ◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆ Packs & Portals is Book Two of The Dragon Tasker Series. It's a wild urban fantasy and paranormal romance that introduces you to the lives of a chorus of paranormal characters connected to a dejected dragon and an introverted human trying to solve a mystery concerning portals between worlds, while their friends are fighting to protect their pack in one of those other worlds…
Denise Crawn's eye opens up profound connections with the natural world around us. As W.H. Auden once said of E. M. Forster, she "trips us up like an unnoticed stone" as we stumble through the unaware routines of our lives. "Look " she says, coaxing us to see more deeply and rewardingly into the comradeship of the woods-and she does so in a manner more than merely visual: Her insight operates on a spiritual plane, hinting at richer meanings in these connections. And she offers compelling remarks from other men and women, as diverse as Vincent van Gogh and Albert Einstein, who have understood the wisdom of nature to further deepen the emotional impact of her compelling photographs-now yours to enjoy.
Five years have passed since the Summer of Fire, and the downfall of General Salamander. The outside world has begun to heal, but inside Tartaria, where brother fought brother and whole clans were wiped out, the wounds still run deep and raw. Fear and suspicion have made rebuilding hard, and rumours of a new threat rising in the shadows of the steppe have reached Aberddu. Once again, the Aberddu Adventurers Guild find themselves heading to Tartaria. This time they are in the company of two powerful but eccentric wizards, ostensibly engaged in an attempt to expand the continental portal network. Cosseted and used to their own way, the wizards have little first-hand experience of the world outside the walls of the Mages Guild, and have much to learn about life in the war-torn shell of a once-great nation. The adventurers will have to teach them that there is more to be feared than bad manners, fisticuffs, and unsatisfactory bathroom arrangements as they travel together down the Fireborn Road.
