On the northern continent of Alandrial, a young man is running from the army that tried to recruit him. Headed into a land that is mysterious to him, he reflects on his life. He has been running too long and he wants to change, though he doesn't know how. That is, until this day when he meets his fate. Three eggs sit in the darkness of the cave he uses as shelter. What is this, he wonders? Soon his life changes in ways he had never imagined. This is the story of a man who would become a dragon rider. L.W. Greenwood was raised on a ranch in Idaho and today works in a Montana sawmill. "I have always been in love with dragon stories. I read every dragon book I could get my hands on as a kid. It was only a matter of time before I wrote my own," says the author. This is the first of many books he plans to write. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/LWGreenwood

On the dangerous journey to find the forsaken Oracle, Lukhanus and his companions discover that it envisions both hope and despair. As was foretold by the mysterious Oracle, Evil is within the heart of all creatures; will this evil consume Lukhanus as he fights to save Lemuria and the inhabitants that dwell within its boarders?

The author of the national bestselling Vampire Earth series presents the fiery conclusion to his epic dragon saga. Scattered across a continent, three dragon siblings are among the last of a dying breed-the final hope for their species' survival. After fighting a war that cost each of them kingdoms, friends and family, and their honor and glory, they have removed themselves from the troubles of the world. But the order they fought to establish is falling apart. Ancient sorceries have been awakened. Dragons battle dragons. And men are taking up arms against their winged overlords. Now, the three must unite once more to save dragonkind from extinction, before the chaos and fire of war consumes them all...and the world with them.

A vampire ancestor, a five-clawed golden dragon, a Flaming Mirror of Emperor, a Sorrowful God Sword, and a young man in white clothes floating over from Hua Xia, stepping into the underworld with a sword. In this great dark yellow world, laughing at the buddhas of the world, wanting to break the will of heaven to die, to live to the end of time, until the mountains and rivers are reborn, until the universe is cleared, the gods are silent, the sky is clear, the end of cultivation, we cultivators will bear the burden of our hearts! 

Now in its second edition, Sustainable Materials shows how we can greatly reduce the amount of material demanded and used in manufacturing, while still meeting everyone's needs. Materials, transformed from natural resources into the buildings, equipment, vehicles and goods that underpin our remarkable lifestyle, are made with amazing efficiency. But our growing demand is not sustainable. Production of just five materials – steel, aluminium, paper, plastics and cement – accounts for 55% of industrial emissions, and demand for materials will double by 2050. Can we continue to live well but use less materials? So far people have considered the problem with only one eye open, hoping for a magic solution (such as carbon capture and storage). But with both eyes open we have a whole new set of options. Rather than making more materials, we can use them more wisely – with less material, keeping them for longer, re-using their parts and more. These options make a huge difference: we really could set up our children with a more sustainable life, without compromising our own. Sustainable Materials faces up to the impacts of making materials in the 21st century. Drawing on their experiences working with innovative materials as well as the facts and findings of their research, Julian Allwood and Jonathan Cullen provide an evidence-based vision of change that will allow us to make our future more sustainable. Packed with hundreds of colour photos and helpful graphs and diagrams, Sustainable Materials provides a thorough analysis of the problems that we face through wasteful attitudes and the growing demand for materials, as well as an evaluation of practical and achievable solutions for the future. The first edition of this optimistic and richly-informed book was listed as one of Bill Gate's top reads in 2015, and was also chosen as an Outstanding Academic Title by ACRL Choice magazine. This up-to-date, revised edition is perfect for anyone with an interest in sustainability.
