ONE UNLUCKY THIEF. ONE UNLIKELY GENIE. ONE VERY ODD COUPLE. Gavyn Donatti is the world’s unluckiest thief. Just ask all the partners he’s lost over the years. And when he misplaces an irreplaceable item he was hired to steal for his ruthless employer, Trevor—well, his latest bungle just might be his last. But then his luck finally turns: right when Trevor’s thugs have him cornered, a djinn, otherwise known as a genie, appears to save him. Unfortunately, this genie—who goes by the very non-magical name of “Ian”—is more Hellboy than dream girl. An overgrown and extremely surly man who seems to hate Donatti on the spot, he may call Donatti master, but he isn’t interested in granting three wishes. He informs Donatti that he is bound to help the thief fulfill his life’s purpose, and then he will be free. The problem is that neither Donatti nor Ian has any idea what exactly that purpose is. At first Donatti’s too concerned with his own survival to look a gift genie in the mouth, but when his ex-girlfriend Jazz and her young son get drawn into the crossfire, the stakes skyrocket. And when Ian reveals that he has an agenda of his own—with both Donatti and the murderous Trevor at the center of it—Donatti will have to become the man he never knew he could be, or the entire world could pay the price. . . .

Master and Apprentice

By: Sonya Bateman

A DEADLY CULT. AN UNBREAKABLE CURSE. THE RULES ARE SIMPLE: LEARN TO KILL . . . OR DIE. Luck has never been on Gavyn Donatti’s side. Anyone else with magic abilities inherited from a distant genie relative would have it made, but not Donatti, descendant of a cranky, shape-shifting genie named Ian. The prince of a murdered kingdom, consumed with revenge and driven by an unbreakable curse, Ian is determined to hunt down and destroy every last one of his enemies in the power-hungry snake clan—at any cost, including his life. Or Donatti’s. Obsessed by his own rage, Ian has never really taught Donatti how to use his abilities. So when a powerful cult of magic-users captures Ian’s wife, the princess Akila, and then Ian himself, Donatti is left alone to take on dozens of half-djinn and their mysterious leader with designs on world domination. Facing an impossible mission, Donatti is forced to turn to an enemy for help—one who claims to know how to unlock his true potential. Trusting a snake might be the last mistake Donatti ever makes—but if he doesn’t learn to wield the power inside him, everyone will pay the ultimate price.

Parallel Universe

By: Sonya Davies

Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia in adolescence are insidious diseases, they steal hope perspective and time sadly the medical profession has a huge divergence of opinion on the illness the causes and the cure there just seems to be no definitive answers. The despair that this causes is deep and searing. This book is about one woman's fight to restore her daughter to health when diagnosed with these diseases. It charts the many professionals that the family saw to try to find a cure for their daughter. Many of the health professionals dismissed the illness believing it to be a disease of malingerers. This lack of understanding of this illness and its origins is one of the defining reasons for writing this book. Sufferers need to understand that they are not alone and that there is hope and that this illness is serious and is a real illness, it is not psychosomatic, it is not psychiatric it is a physical illness that has real symptoms and there is hope that you can put together some treatment options that may help them. Claudia was 13 years old when her body just seemed to run out of energy. It had been a gradual process but with the start of high school and all of the changes that happened at that time the key triggers of this horrific illness where masked. It wasn't until she passed out that the extent of the problem really became very very obvious. Sonya Davies is the author and she lives in Melbourne Victoria with her husband of 20 years Mark and her 4 children. A professional woman who has worked in Marketing for 35 years, she had a varied and interesting career, full of travel and many diverse and interesting experiences she always felt that she was very fortunate. She was not prepared when her 13 year old daughter Claudia passed out in her walk in ward robe and started to suffer seizures. Claudia spiralled very quickly over a period of 5 months into being seriously unwell, being unable to walk, wheel chair bound, using a toilet and shower stool and needing to be carried everywhere. She was 5 foot 5 and weighed 40 kilos. Sonya was beside herself, her life as she had known it stopped, she could not work, she could not leave her daughter alone. She was desperate to get help. She thought she could get some answers from Doctors or a specialist and they would tell her what to do. Imagine her shock when every test that they did came back normal while her daughter kept getting more and more unwell. That was when the family entered the parallel universe, this universe operates next to but separate from the real universe, this universe is inhabited by the chronically ill, looking for treatments for health issues for which medical professionals have no answers. She had never felt such despair or realised that such despair was possible for her. She is a positive, can do woman, every adversity has an answer you just have to connect the dots, her daughter was sick, she could not believe that she could not find a person to fix her. But every corner I turned, every doctor or health professional I took her to could not help, I got nowhere, I hit brick wall, after brick wall. My daughter was spiralling into very poor physical condition and suffering deep despair as she was constantly being told that she was hysterical and that this condition was psychosomatic. She is a very intelligent girl and does not have a hysterical bone in her body. So telling her it was all in her head, her body had turned on pain signals and would not turn them off just made her feel more and more inadequate, obviously she had done something to make this happen. The family saw over 50 health professionals all offering other similarly unhelpful suggestions. Well not suggestions, pronouncements, they all pronounced something and sent them home in agony with no help and no idea where to get help. Their daughter was unable to sleep, had muscles that got harder and tighter in her arms and

Prairie Patrimony

Family, Farming, and Community in the Midwest

By: Sonya Salamon

Drawing on a decade-long ethnographic study of seven Illinois farming communities, Salamon demonstrates how family land transfers serve as the mechanism fro recreating the social relations fundamental to midwestern ethnic identities. She shows how, along with the land, families pass on a cultural patrimony that shapes practices of farm management, succession, and inheritance and that ultimately determines how land tenure and the personality of rural communities evolve.

Business and Society

A Critical Introduction

By: Doctor Kean Birch,Mark Peacock,Richard Wellen,Caroline Hossein,Sonya Scott,Alberto Salazar

Corporations dominate our societies. They employ us, sell to us and influence how we think and who we vote for, while their economic interests dictate local, national and global agendas. Written in clear and accessible terms, this much-needed textbook provides critical perspectives on all aspects of the relationship between business and society: from an historical analysis of the spread of capitalism as the foundation of the 'corporate' revolution in the late nineteenth century to the regulation, ethics and exclusionary implications of business in contemporary society. Furthermore, it examines how corporate power and capitalism might be resisted, outlining a range of alternatives, from the social economy through to new forms of open access or commons ownership.

The Essential Tension

Competition, Cooperation and Multilevel Selection in Evolution

By: Sonya Bahar

The Essential Tension' explores how agents that naturally compete come to act together as a group. The author argues that the controversial concept of multilevel selection is essential to biological evolution, a proposition set to stimulate new debate. The idea of one collective unit emerging from the cooperative interactions of its constituent (and mutually competitive) parts has its roots in the ancient world. More recently, it has illuminated studies of animal behavior, and played a controversial role in evolutionary biology. In Part I, the author explores the historical development of the idea of a collectivity in biological systems, from early speculations on the sociology of human crowd behavior, through the mid-twentieth century debates over the role of group selection in evolution, to the notion of the selfish gene. Part II investigates the balance between competition and cooperation in a range of contemporary biological problems, from flocking and swarming to experimental evolution and the evolution of multicellularity. Part III addresses experimental studies of cooperation and competition, as well as controversial ideas such as the evolution of evolvability and Stephen Jay Gould’s suggestion that “spandrels” at one level of selection serve as possible sources of variability for the next higher level. Finally, building on the foundation established in the preceding chapters, the author arrives at a provocative new proposition: as a result of the essential tension between competition and cooperation, multiple levels may be essential in order for evolutionary processes to occur at all.

Master of Elements

By: Sonya Bateman

In a frozen wasteland, no one can hear you die.Part-djinn and mostly reformed thief Gavyn Donatti has learned a thing or two about magic in the years since he met Ian, his shape-shifting genie ancestor who enjoys slaughtering his enemies and definitely not being called a genie, if you value your life. Their unlikely partnership has even saved humanity a few times. Not that they're counting.But their latest challenge is a whole new world from anything they've faced before.When Ian receives a message from a djinn clan that's been thought lost for centuries, asking for his and Donatti's help, the odd couple is directed to a mysterious, never-ending storm in the remote mountains of Alaska. On the other side of the storm is the Annukhai village, trapped between realms in a spell of their own making.They soon discover there are two lost clans, who've been feuding for hundreds of years. And the warring djinn aren't the only things inside the storm. The spell was supposed to imprison an ancient djinn-eating monster -- which was a grave mistake on their part. Because while the creature might not be able to escape the storm and terrorize the world, it does have its own captive, all-you-can-eat djinn buffet, and it's been steadily snacking them toward extinction.Thrust into the conflict without any warning, Donatti and Ian are just as trapped as the rival clans. Now they have to find a way to stop the djinn-fighting, force the Annukhai and the Alqani to work together, and destroy a mythical, immortal creature that isn't supposed to exist ... before they become the monster's next meal.MASTER OF ELEMENTS is book three in the Gavyn Donatti series, following MASTER OF NONE and MASTER AND APPRENTICE.
