They thought they had won. They only guaranteed their death. Cyrus, Celeste, and Crystil have finally found peace. They live in harmony with the Kastori and no longer live in fear of the dragon Calypsius. But back on their old world, Typhos, the creator of the dragon, seethes with rage. Blind with anger, he plots for the capture, torture, and execution of all humans and Kastori on Anatolus. Nothing short of the death of all his enemies will stop him. Will Celeste, Cyrus, and Crystil use their skills to defeat the greatest threat in the universe and bring true everlasting peace to their old and new world? Or will Typhos bring an end to all life?
War has destroyed their empire. A demonic dragon haunts their nights. And their greatest threat to survival is each other. Crystil is one of the empire's best soldiers and struggling with the loss of her husband during war. Cyrus and Celeste are siblings from a royal family and coping with the death of their father. Together, they are the sole survivors of humanity. The three, barely having escaped their home, made it to a mysterious new world much like their own—full of beautiful wildlife, endless vegetation, and a gorgeous, massive mountain. But when the sun sets, a monstrous dragon comes and hunts all life at night. With the dragon, their own competing desires, and other revelations they cannot even begin to imagine, their fight for survival is on precarious ground every waking-and resting-moment. Will Crystil, Cyrus, and Celeste establish a new civilization on their new world? Will the great dragon send humanity into extinction? Or will the three survivors destroy each other first?
How did Typhos go from savior to destroyer? As a young boy, Typhos Kaos has it all. His mother, Aida, leads the Kastori as chief of the council, and his father, Adanus, advises the council as former chief. The fourteen-year old boy has such power that many call him “the savior.” But then his father dies, and his mother crumbles. Without anything else to focus on, Typhos turns his attention to gaining power through the council. But his methods for gaining strength become manipulative. His approach becomes deceitful. People shun him, and Typhos goes from pleasantly hopeful to dangerously hungry. And when he commits crimes so heinous no one saw them coming, only one question is left. How?
They defeated the most powerful being on their new home. But now they must survive the vengeance of the most powerful being in the universe. Peace has finally come to Anatolus as Celeste, Cyrus and Crystil live in harmony with the Kastori. For the last six months, life has consisted mostly of laughter, great food and no danger. But in the back of their minds, they know Typhos, the creator of Calypsius and the destroyer of their old empire, seethes with rage at the loss of his monster. They've heard the harrowing tales, and how he intends to torture them and break their spirit once he captures them. The tranquility is fragile, and Typhos can shatter it at any moment. It all comes to a head when Celeste has a disturbing vision that shows him amassing an army, and they must prepare once more for battle-even as many war-weary Kastori refuse to fight. Will Cyrus and Celeste use their new powers, and Crystil her soldier's skills, to defeat the self-proclaimed deity and bring everlasting peace to both Anatolus and Monda? Or will Typhos annihilate everyone, bringing an end to all life?
"The documents edited by H. Şükrü Ilıcak in Those Infidel Greeks comprise the English translations of select documents from the Ayniyat Registers on the Greek War of Independence preserved in the Ottoman State Archives. The primary importance of these documents is that they are a clear testimony of the larger imperial context in which the Greek War of Independence evolved and proved successful. The mass of information they contain is immense and allows the reader to follow on an almost day-to-day basis how an empire tried to suppress a national uprising-the first of its kind in the early nineteenth century. Contributors Çağrı Erdoğan, H. Şükrü Ilıcak, Nikola Rakovski, Mehmet Savan, Kahraman Şakul, and Aysel Yıldız. This is a co-publication with the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation"--
Southeast Asian states within ASEAN agree that security relations with the great powers are best achieved by enmeshing the latter in ASEAN procedures. The primary goal of ASEAN is that China, Japan, the United States, and India commit to maintaining Southeast Asia's autonomy, integrity, and prosperity. ASEAN is less successful in resolving conflicts internal to the region including human rights in Burma, transnational terrorism, environmental concerns, human trafficking, and illegal arms trade. Sovereignty protection frequently trumps cooperation on these issues.
Photography has been a key means by which Australians have sought to define their relationships with Japan. From the fascination with all things Japanese in the late nineteenth century, through the era of ‘White Australia’, the bitter enmity of the Pacific War, the path to reconciliation in the post-war period and the culturally complicated bilateralism of today, Australians have used their cameras to express a divided sense of conflict and kinship with a country that has by turns fascinated and infuriated. The remarkable photographs collected and discussed here for the first time shed new light on the history of Australia’s engagement with its most important regional partner. Pacific Exposures argues that photographs tell an important story of cultural production, response and reaction—not only about how Australians have pictured Japan over the decades, but how they see their own place in the Asia-Pacific. ‘Pacific Exposures presents the first study of the photographic exchanges between Australia and Japan—its photographers, personalities, motivations, anxieties and tensions—based on a diverse range of archival materials, interviews, and well-chosen photographs.’ — Dr Luke Gartlan, University of St Andrews ‘[Pacific Exposures] will become a key text on Australia’s interactions with Japan, and the way that photographs can inform cross-cultural relations through their production, consumption and circulation.’ — Prof. Kate Darian-Smith, University of Tasmania
This vividly detailed revisionist history opens a new vista on the great Ottoman Empire in the early nineteenth century, a key period often seen as the eve of Tanzimat westernizing reforms and the beginning of three distinct histories—ethnic nationalism in the Balkans, imperial modernization from Istanbul, and European colonialism in the Middle East. Christine Philliou brilliantly shines a new light on imperial crisis and change in the 1820s and 1830s by unearthing the life of one man. Stephanos Vogorides (1780–1859) was part of a network of Christian elites known phanariots, institutionally excluded from power yet intimately bound up with Ottoman governance. By tracing the contours of the wide-ranging networks—crossing ethnic, religious, and institutional boundaries—in which the phanariots moved, Philliou provides a unique view of Ottoman power and, ultimately, of the Ottoman legacies in the Middle East and Balkans today. What emerges is a wide-angled analysis of governance as a lived experience at a moment in which there was no clear blueprint for power.
This book focuses on environmental aspects of Boka Kotorska Bay in Montenegro (South Adriatic Sea), an area that has been shaped by seasonal tourism, and explores the use and limitations of its natural resources. The individual chapters highlight its geographic and oceanographic characteristics, climate, history and development, biology, fisheries, agriculture, coastal zones, shipping, marine tourism and pollution. Above all, the environmental impact of tourism on marine, coastal and shoreline areas and the resulting conflicts are discussed in detail. The volume is intended for specialists working in various fields of environmental sciences and ecology, water resources and management, land reclamation and agriculture, and regional climate change.
The book seeks to provide an understanding of Southest Asia as a region, the problems of statehood faced by the individual countries, and the search for regional order, peace and stability. It also explores Southeast Asia's adaptation to the changing world order, and long-term changes in terms of economic, political, and security implications.
