Carry the Flame

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Tomorrow's world is a wasteland, decimated by vengeful nature and disease . . . And those who rule the ruins worship a cruel and terrible god. Having survived the terror of the Alliance and the single-minded fanaticism of its hideous religion, a caravan of survivors moves quickly into the Great American Desert, the wastes of what once was America's heartland. With her daughters at her side—recently rescued Ananda and her daring older sister, Bliss—Jessie hopes to find sanctuary in the Arctic, now rumored to be temperate. But their enemies are powerful and relentless, and will not rest until they possess the caravan's most precious treasures: their prepubescent female children, a stolen tanker filled with fuel . . . and a pair of frightened twins, whom the Army of God calls "demon." But the danger in pursuit pales before the horror that lies ahead when Jessie, the marauder-turned-ally Burned Fingers, and the innocents in their care face the savagery, the madness, and the monsters that dwell in the terrifying City of Shade.

100 Things to Do in Ithaca Before You Die

But it’s also partly due to the gorgeous people, restaurants, museums, and organizations that call Ithaca home. 100 Things to Do in Ithaca Before You Die is your guide to finding out what makes Ithaca such a unique, vibrant, and creative place. Savor a taste of Ithaca icons by dining at Moosewood Restaurant and Purity Ice Cream Company. At the heart of downtown, stroll through the Ithaca Commons where you’ll find shopping, festivals, food, and entertainment. Discover what the colleges have to offer at the prestigious Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the renowned Ithaca College School of Music, Theatre, and Dance. Learn about viticulture and sample some of the country’s finest wines along the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail. Then hike to Buttermilk Falls, Cascadilla Gorge, or Ithaca Falls to experience for yourself the beauty and wonder of the region’s gorges. You’ll get an insider’s perspective of the city and region with Ithacan Amanda Jaros Champion, whose life in Ithaca has included everything from giving tours on the Cayuga Lake tour boat to raising two children to serving on the County Legislature. This book details adventures and experiences for anyone looking to get to know this special upstate city, whether you’re a short-stay visitor or a longtime Ithaca-lover.

Burn Down the Sky

By: James Jaros

After the destruction of nature and the death of the world . . . After the Wicca virus drove billions to madness and suicide, replacing order and reason with violence and terror . . . In the parched ruins of what once was civilization, one commodity is far morevaluable than all others combined: female children. When well-armed marauders roll in at dusk to brutally attack a fiercely defended compound of survivors, Jessie is unable to halt the slaughter—and she can do nothing to prevent the ruthless abduction of innocents, including her youngest child. Now, along with her outraged teenage daughter, Bliss, Jessie must set out on a journey across a blasted landscape—joining up with the desperate, the broken, the half-mad, on an impossible mission: to storm the fortress of a dark and twisted religion and bring the children home.

China's Urban Champions

The Politics of Spatial Development

By: Kyle A. Jaros

An exploration of how key provinces in China shape urban and regional development The rise of major metropolises across China since the 1990s has been a double-edged sword: although big cities function as economic powerhouses, concentrated urban growth can worsen regional inequalities, governance challenges, and social tensions. Wary of these dangers, China’s national leaders have tried to forestall top-heavy urbanization. However, urban and regional development policies at the subnational level have not always followed suit. China’s Urban Champions explores the development paths of different provinces and asks why policymakers in many cases favor big cities in a way that reinforces spatial inequalities rather than reducing them. Kyle Jaros combines in-depth case studies of Hunan, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, and Jiangsu provinces with quantitative analysis to shed light on the political drivers of uneven development. Drawing on numerous Chinese-language written sources, including government documents and media reports, as well as a wealth of field interviews with officials, policy experts, urban planners, academics, and businesspeople, Jaros shows how provincial development strategies are shaped by both the horizontal relations of competition among different provinces and the vertical relations among different tiers of government. Metropolitan-oriented development strategies advance when lagging economic performance leads provincial leaders to fixate on boosting regional competitiveness, and when provincial governments have the political strength to impose their policy priorities over the objections of other actors. Rethinking the politics of spatial policy in an era of booming growth, China’s Urban Champions highlights the key role of provincial units in determining the nation’s metropolitan and regional development trajectory.

In My Boots

A Memoir of Five Million Steps Along the Appalachian Trail

By: Amanda K Jaros

Amanda K. Jaros's In My Boots does what some of the best works of nonfiction do: it takes the reader on a journey-in this case, a journey that is as much mental and emotion as it is physical." -Amy Butcher, author of Visiting Hours: A Memoir of Friendship and Murder When Amanda K. Jaros learns about the 2,160-mile Appalachian Trail after college, she walks away from a sheltered life dominated by an angry and volatile father and does something unexpected: spends six months backpacking. Alone. She expects to pass the time in the solitary and peaceful wilderness, reflecting on her life's direction. Instead, she finds herself part of a community ripe with stinky socks, buckets of ice cream, and trail magic. What matters on the trail is not a hiker's past or parents, her fears or failures, but rather, what matters is the connections we make with each other. In My Boots recounts a challenging physical journey following the trail over the windy balds of the South, through snowstorms in the Smoky Mountain National Park, and above the tree line to the alpine zones of the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The journey is also emotionally transformative as this twenty-three-year-old leaves behind the compliant and scared girl she once was. With each step away from her damaged childhood, each new friend, each stop in another rural trail town, she comes to understand that to succeed on the trail, and in life, it turns out, the path she walks must be her own.

The Joy of Truffles

By: Patrik Jaros

Once the exclusive preserve of the kitchens of kings, now truffles are available to anyone with a pig, a dog, a deep wallet or a highly developed olfactory organ. The nose knows, you see. The golden nose will find the truffle and dine out for months on tales of underground prowess in solving the cultivation mystery of the magical vegetable. Half root, half mushroom, the truffle is crown prince of the underground, and because they give off the same odor as the male hormone testosterone, that's where our trained animal associates come in. They know the score, know what's worth hunting for. It's about priorities, and this volume is absolutely on the same track. Not so much a book as a hymn to the truffle experience, it's all here. Learn how the Romans esteemed the big T, follow its progress across the plates of centuries, gaze at the mouth-moistening pictures, and then put your boots on and start looking. Truffle heaven is here. With all-courses recipes from leading truffle-meister Patrick Jaros, who's worked with Munich superchef Eckhart Witzigmann, you too can be a gourmet god. Forget the Lottery, forget the holy grail, somewhere there are truffles with your name on. The Gold Rush has nothing on this.

Oktoberfest

A Fest Feast : a Book of Traditional Recipies

By: Patrick Jaros,Raffaela Schnell,Raoul M. Schnell

Get a handle on this (oh, you do -- the first book that looks like a beer glass?): The Oktoberfest is the biggest fair in the world. For 16 days in the Fall, there is a greater pursuit of hedonism in Munich than anywhere else in the world. Total pleasure, and all we remember is the lager. But there's more. It goes way back, all the way to 1810 and Crown Prince Ludwig's marriage to Therese. They had a horse race, and that was it. By 1875 they had the alcohol license and there was no looking back. Bavarian self-celebration couldn't have been better, but at least there are toasts in all the tourist languages. Munich in October exists in a kind of consumption ""state of emergency"". If you're going to go, you need to get in training, and this masterly tome is the perfect manual. Brush up on the history, the recipes for wurst, the lederhosen. It really is the perfect kitsch companion to male lack of memory after the event. So much so that next year you won't even need to go. Just open up the book and do it all again in the privacy of your own home.
