Black Wolf

Sembia: Gateway to the Realms, Book 4

By: Dave Gross

Talbot Uskevren, the second son of one of Selgaunt's most powerful families, fights a deadly battle within himself. Like most men of his station, Talbot spends his days honing his sword fighting skills, and unlike others, practicing the art of acting. Now, Talbot will put both of these talents to the test when a rival House comes looking for blood. The only way for Talbot to survive against the Black Brotherhood is to let the inner wolf loose, and the only way for him to live in Selgaunt's society is to keep the wolf chained. Black Wolf continues the story of the Uskevrens' second son, introduced in the story "Thirty Days" from The Halls of Stormweather. An exciting tale of werewolves in the Forgotten Realms, this is the fouth book in the Sembia series.

The Five Hole Stories

The Five Hole Stories

By: Dave Bidini

Each of the six stories in Dave Bidini's playful, irreverent new book takes a headlong run at the hockey dressing room, and knocks the door down. In one story, a chronic minor-leaguer discovers the wonders—and the pitfalls—of the game in Europe, both on and off the ice. In another, an NHLer is tight with his teammate, the league's leading goalscorer, but dreams of getting MUCH tighter. A star on a losing streak turns to a magical salve to turn his game around. A conversation between two friends yields surprising facts about Joan, everyone's favourite female goalie. A hundred bucks is all that stands between a hockey groupie and eternal happiness in 1950s Detroit. And finally, the eponymous 'Five Hole' itself speaks—though it never reveals all of its secrets. Full of sex, drugs and high-sticking, each of The Five Hole Stories runs its proverbial tongue down hockey's seamy, steamy underbelly and then finds language to tell us what it tastes like. A scintillating look at hockey with its clothes off, in six ambitious poses.

The Call of the Wilderness

A Trapper’S Tale

By: Dave Vander Meer

Dave Vander Meer was just eighteen years old when he set out on his own to explore the northern wilderness of Ontario. Winter would start in just a week, and there was a camp to build, traps to set, and food and furs to collect. To survive, he needed to call upon all his knowledge because the closest point of civilization was more than twenty miles away. Now, years later, he still looks back upon his time as a teenager in the woods with wonder. He had the chance to walk the trails and paddle the lakes as he experienced the excitement of eluding several brushes with death. Jump into a dream and experience the beauty, danger, and excitement that a trapper enjoys during his daily routines in The Call of the Wilderness. Authors note: Thank you to Caitlyn Vander Meer for the great job of editing this book. It was more work than you expected. I guess my ninth grade grammar was misplaced somewhere over the last thirty-eight years.

The Big Day (and other stories)

By: Dave Lauby

What do invisible rats, aspiring rapists, axe-wielding gorillas, coffee shop ninjas and clown-faced kidnappers all have in common? They’re just some of the shady miscreants and dubious heroes who populate the pages of the twisted tales making up Dave Lauby’s rollicking short fiction collection The Big Day (and other stories). From the wimpy 13-year-old boy spurred on to criminal acts by his best friend from a Bizarro universe to the arctic survivalist whose sense of day and night (and pain and pleasure) become snow blinded and indistinguishable, the characters of Lauby’s nine exuberant narratives pinball-collide themselves against tragedy and comedy and all the emotional bumpers in-between. Weaving in and out through a maze of twisting turns, unexpected jolts and surprise endings, TBD(aos) provides the reader with a well-balanced and intellectually nutritious nine-course story meal while tasting every bit like dessert with every bite. It’s a guarantee that you’ll want to come back for seconds.

Geauga Lake

The Funtime Years 1969-1995

By: Jim Futrell,Dave Hahner

In 1968, three businessmen left their jobs at Cedar Point in Sandusky to purchase Geauga Lake Amusement Park. Geauga Lake had been a summertime escape since the 1870s, but by the 1960s it had fallen on hard times. The businessmen's company, Funtime, Inc., transformed the aging facility into a modern amusement park and established a reputation as an innovative operator in one of the nation's most competitive amusement park markets. Geauga Lake became the first park with two looping roller coasters and the first to integrate a full-scale water park, Boardwalk Shores. The company broke even more new ground in 1988 when it resurrected a classic roller coaster design to construct Raging Wolf Bobs. Images of America: Geauga Lake: The Funtime Years 1969-1995 captures the park's transformation and some of the countless memories that resulted from Funtime's 26-year ownership.

Strange and Bizarre Stories of Another Kind. ýExtended Editioný

Star Guitars

101 Guitars That Rocked the World

By: Dave Hunter

These are the guitars so famous that their names are often household words: B. B. King's Lucille, Eric Clapton's Blackie, Stevie Ray Vaughan's First Wife, Billy F Gibbons' Pearly Gates, Neil Young's Old Black, and many more. Here's the first-ever illustrated history of the actual guitars of the stars that made the music. Other best-selling guitar histories look at the rank-and-file models, but this book is unique in profiling the actual "star guitars"--the million-dollar babies, such as the 1968 Stratocaster that Jimi Hendrix burned at Woodstock, which sold at Sotheby's auction house in 1993 for $1,300,000. Amateurs buy guitars to emulate the stars--Clapton's Strat, Slash's Les Paul--and this book explains the stars' modifications, thus showing how others can recreate those famous tones.

Darkstone

The Future May Be Closer Than You Think

By: Dave Rigby

Ellis Landsman, a forester living in the Scottish Outlands in the 2020’s is shocked to find a wolf in his forest pawing at the ground. He is even more disturbed when he discovers that the wolf has uncovered the body of a young woman. He rescues the body and makes the long snow-covered journey to Glasgow to report the death and hand the body over to the Brigade, the semi militaristic security force that has replaced the police. Because of previous, bitter experience, Ellis doesn’t trust the Brigade to investigate the death and decides to try and find out for himself who the woman is, how she died and how she came to be buried on his land. He’s helped in his daunting task by Lorna who moves in with him at his remote forest home, active ‘oppositionists’ Gam and Colette and the mysterious Lemmy. And the wolf is never far away! Through his investigations, he finds out about a shadowy undercover security operation known as Darkstone and a web of events that reaches right to the heart of the Brigade. When Major Cormack, an up and coming power within the Brigade, becomes aware of Ellis’ activities he sees an opportunity to use the forester to further his own agenda. But all is not as it seems as Ellis struggles to track down the young woman’s killer. Will he succeed in his investigations or will the Brigade force him to abandon his mission and retreat back to the Outlands?

The Bridge to Never Land

By: Dave Barry,Ridley Pearson

One summer morning while Aidan and Sarah are visiting their grandfather, they discover a secret compartment in his battered wooden desk. Inside is a yellowed envelope that contains a piece of very thin, almost translucent, white paper, on which, handwritten in black ink, are a series of seemingly random lines; among them are what appear to be fragments of letters, but not enough to make sense. At the bottom of the page is a verse about Peter Peter and a reference to a real hotel in London. As it happens, the family is about to embark on a trip to Europe, so the children decide that while in London, they will try to locate the hotel.

Much Fall of Blood

By: Mercedes Lackey,Eric Flint,Dave Freer

Prince Manfred and his mentor and bodyguard, the deadly warrior Erik, survived dangers and enemies both natural and supernatural, and if they thought that their new mission was going to be anything but more of the same, they soon gave up on that hope. Returning from Jerusalem, they and their escort of knights of the Holy Trinity are escorting an envoy of II Khan Mongol to the lands of the Golden Horde-between the Black Sea and the Carpathians, which happen to be eastern bastion against their old enemies, the demon Chernobog and his possessed puppet, the Jangellion. Unfortunately, what began as a diplomatic mission leads to Manfred and his knights being caught up in an inter-clan civil war, rescuing a fugitive woman and her injured brother, and becoming involved in the problems of Prince Vlad, Duke of Valahia, who has been held as a hostage by King Emeric of Hungary until freed by Countess Elizabeth Batholdy to use as bait to capture a group of nonhumans. Instead, the wolflike nonhumans, who masquerade as gypsies, free Prince Vlad, and help him to return to his homeland to raise revolt against Hungary and to renew age-old magics. Manfred and Erik are forced into an alliance of convenience between the Golden Horde and the ancient magical forces of Valahia, as directed by the troubled Vlad. The magic calls for blood and Vlad is deathly afraid of it¾and at the same time, is irresistibly drawn toward it . . .

How to Win as a First-Time Manager: The Challenges Facing Talent Management When Moving from Co-Worker to Boss

By: Dave Day,John Lough

How to Win fills an important gap in the current leadership literature in that it gets 'down and dirty' with the very real issues that first-time managers face in today's workplace. These new leaders don't craft long-term strategies or issue inspiring missives to hundreds of eager troops. Neither do they testify before congressional committees nor appear as public spokespersons for this or that glamorous product. They are the managers who strive each day, often with limited resources, to meet the high production standards set by those in the c-suite. From how to manage relationships with direct reports (who used to be that manager's peers), to how to delegate tasks, to how to build effective teams and better manage one's time, How to Win takes the reader into the daily exchanges between a new manager and her veteran coach, as they explore the various roles all managers are expected to play."--Publisher's description.

The Taotie Image in Chinese Art, Culture, and Cosmology

By: Dave Alber

The Taotie Image in Chinese Art, Culture, and Cosmology by Dave Alber. The taotie, also known as the “beast mask”, is the most distinctive feature of Shang dynasty art. It is a fascinating motif in Chinese art and, for centuries, has inspired curiosity as to its meaning. In this book, cultural scholar, Dave Alber, explores the many meanings of the taotie image. • What was the meaning of the taotie among traditional Chinese art historians? • What is the taotie’s influence in Chinese art history? • What is the most probable cultural origin of the taotie? • What function did the taotie image serve in Shang dynasty cosmology and psychology? • What is the Pan-Asian diffusion of the original motif? • How does this art motif enrich our experience of Chinese architecture, history, and contemporary music? Dave Alber, MA originally presented the content of this book as a lecture at Henan Polytechnic University (HPU) in Mainland China. The Taotie Image in Chinese Art, Culture, and Cosmology is written in dual-language English and Chinese. Thus, it is a great tool for learning either English or Traditional Chinese. With almost one hundred photographs from Dave Alber’s travels in China and Asia, it is also an ideal book for studying Chinese and Pan-Asian art.

The Gibson Les Paul

The Illustrated Story of the Guitar That Changed Rock

By: Dave Hunter

The Gibson Les Paul is possibly the electric guitar most associated with rock ’n’ roll. The result of a collaboration between Gibson’s Ted McCarty and jazz guitarist Les Paul in response to the success of Fender’s Telecaster, the Les Paul has gone on to become a prized instrument played by most of the greatest guitarists in rock history. This massive illustrated history of the guitar examines its prehistory and origins as well as its evolution in the 60-plus years since its 1952 introduction. In addition to the Standards and Customs guitarists admire so much, author Dave Hunter also gives ample coverage to variations like Les Paul Juniors, Melody Makers, and SGs. And to bring the music to life, there are profiles of players well known for using Les Pauls and their offspring through the years, including Hubert Sumlin, Carl Perkins, Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, Peter Green, Paul Kossoff, Jimmy Page, Neil Young, Peter Frampton, Keith Richards, Bill F Gibbons, Bob Marley, Mick Ronson, Steve Jones, Johnny Thunders, Angus Young, and more. Illustrated throughout with studio photography of the guitars, candid and performance photography of the artists, and relevant memorabilia, this book is prefect for music lovers and guitar enthusiasts.

Heart of Myth: Wisdom Stories From Endangered People

By: Dave Alber

The Heart of Myth: Wisdom Stories From Endangered People by Dave Alber is a global anthology of myths from the living polytheistic traditions of six continents. The Heart of Myth unpacks the spirituality of the myths of each region in a local context, then traces connections and archetypes between regions so that world myth may be understood as both a communicative vocabulary and a grand cultural continuity. Dave Alber’s The Heart of Myth: • reveals the universal language of mythology, • explains the spiritual function of myth as expressed in collective archetypes, • tells about the ecological and sustainable vision of indigenous people, • describes the lives of living polytheistic communities, most of them endangered people from six geographic regions (North America, Central and South America, Arctic, Asia, Africa, and Oceana), • tells stories of myth, legend, and folklore from around the globe (American Mythology, Central American Mythology, South American Mythology, Arctic Mythology, Asian Mythology, African Mythology, and Oceanic Mythology) In the tradition of Joseph Campbell’s The Power of Myth and Edith Hamilton’s Mythology, Dave Alber’s The Heart of Myth: Wisdom Stories From Endangered People tells stories from the mythic world. David tells stories of Native American Mythology, Central American Mythology, South American Mythology, Arctic Mythology, Asian Mythology, African Mythology, and Oceanic Mythology. From Native America Dave Alber’s The Heart of Myth relates the myths of the Crow, Onodowaga, Zuni, Cree, and Chemehuevis. From the Arctic it covers the myths of the Chuckchi, Igloolik Inuit Eskimo myths, Inuit, and Buriyat. From Central and South America, David Alber tells myths from the Circum-Caribbean People of the Orinoco River Valley, Bororo, Yekuana, Aymara, Mapuche. From Africa Dave tells myths of San, Ogoni, Dinka, Masai, and Karanga. From Asia The Heart of Myth tells the myths of the Tharu, Kashmiri, Akha, Ainu, Karen, and Agta. From Australia and the Pacific Islands, The Heart of Myth speaks myths from Wurundjeri, Torres Strait Islanders, Hawaiian, Maori, and Samoan peoples.

Bucktails and Fishtails

From Northern Waters and Woods

By: Dave Potter

Growing up at the end of the Great Depression, Dave Potter learned to appreciate the woods that surrounded his little town of Roxbury, Vermont. He was fly fishing by the time he was seven and lugging a camera with him at eleven. Intent on capturing all his great adventures, Dave was already well on his way to enjoying many fulfilling experiences in nature. In a collection of personal essays and poems inspired by nature, Dave provides a glimpse into what it was like to hunt out of an old deer camp, fly fish in a mountain stream, trout fish in a beaver pond, and catch a monster trophy fish after winning a battle in the water. Peppered with true-to-life colorful characters, his stories transport others through Vermont, Alaska, Maine, New York, and Quebec. Photographs vividly capture memories of good times as Dave highlights his greatest adventures in the northern woods and waters over the course of a lifetime. Bucktails and Fish Tails shares personal essays, poems, and photographs that track one man’s seven-decade journey through life, fishing adventures, and the joys of nature.

Sun Walker

By: Dave Schafer

Joshua Beck, son of a Virginia plantation owner and his barn slave, flees west in 1821 after his mother dies and he's accused by his white half-brother of killing his father. He ends up in Missouri, where he volunteers for a large trapping party heading north on two keel boats. After saving the Colonel from drowning, he accompanies the land party to barter for horses with the Arikara. When a trapper tries to sneak into the village, the tribe assaults the party with arrows and bullets. While many trappers are killed, Beck saves his friend Moses. He must cross the Missouri River by himself to survive and heads north on foot. Starving, he's rescued by three Crows, Sun Walker and two cousins. After rejoining the land party that the keel boat dropped on shore far above the Arikara, they begin trapping. The Captain is mauled by a grizzly. Beck and Antoine, son of a trapper and a Mandan, search for a comrade and must escape from Pawnee pretending to be friendly. When they climb a tree to hide and sleep, a panther attacks Beck. Although woozy from a poisoned arrow that pierced his butt, he manages to win the battle. Antoine believes Beck will soon be dead and abandons him. By surviving on berries and a bison calf killed by wolves, Beck grows stronger only to meet a party of Sioux. They leave him alone due to his courage proven by the lacerations from the panther's paws. After losing his pants and hatchet to a flooded creek, he's accosted by five Gros Ventre of the prairie. They send a young brave after him in a contest. Jumping into a stream to escape, he's saved by Sun Walker, Storm Cloud and White Bear. Again, they return him to his party. Meanwhile, his half-brother Langford takes over the plantation. More interested in the local tavern and women, he murders an escort's husband, flees, and leaves the bankrupt estate to his mother and twin sister. He heads to Missouri where his uncle, an army Colonel, is stationed. After defeating the Arikara, Colonel Pennington assigns his corporal nephew to build a fort on the site of the former village. Langford soon makes a deal with the British Hudson Bay Company, fierce competitors of American trapping companies, to send furs down to New Orleans and across the Atlantic to quench the European thirst for beaver fur hats. Beck spends a summer at the Crow village where Sun Walker and her cousins live. He learns their language and customs and joins a horse raid against the Blackfoot. Sun Walker, who was brutally raped as a youth by the Blackfoot and has no interest in men, begins to grow fond of Beck, as he's been of her ever since their first meeting. But Beck feels he has a duty to help his land party reach their destination. Back with them, he continues volunteering for dangerous missions as they struggle against fire, malaria, black wolves and hostile tribes on their way to the Mandan villages and Fort Unity. Yet his biggest challenge arises when he unwittingly stops at Langford's fort.

Creation, Character, and Wisdom

Rethinking the Roots of Environmental Ethics

By: Dave L. Bland,Sean Patrick Webb

While the traditional Christian engagement with environmental ethics too often begins and ends with Genesis, this project joins numerous recent efforts by biblical scholars to identify new foundations on which Christians can make ethical choices about creation. Wisdom literature, a largely untapped resource, offers a unique point of entry for environmental ethics. Despite their marginalization in ethical debates on the environment, the biblical sages have a great deal to say about the inseparability of God's creation and righteous living--observations that must then be brought into conversation with a host of contemporary disciplines. As the crisis of environmental degradation permeates the lived experience of more and more Christians, it is increasingly critical to have solid and biblically defensible foundations from which to make moral choices about the environmental behavior of individuals, corporations, and nations.

The Wild Things

By: Dave Eggers

Max is a rambunctious eight-year-old, living with his mother and his sister, terrorizing the neighborhood on his bicycle. But Max's world is changing around him: His father is absent and his mother is increasingly distracted. Max's teenage sister is outgrowing him, leaving him alone in favor of her friends. Sad and angry, Max dons his wolf suit and makes terrible, ruinous mischief. Setting off into the night, Max finds a boat and sails away to an island. Here he meets strange and giant creatures. Creatures that rage and break things. Creatures that trample and scream. These monsters do everything Max feels inside! And so, Max appoints himself their king. Here, on a magnificent adventure with the creatures, Max can be the wildest thing of all. In this visionary new novel, Eggers brings an imaginary world vividly to life, filling it with monsters, chaos, and one very real little boy. By turns beautiful and joyful, sorrowful and strange, The Wild Things is an astonishing literary triumph.
