Gem

The Season of Prophecy

By: Victoria Leeman

This tenth-century epic fantasy set during the Britannicus and African Bantu empires, Gem: The Season of Prophecy tells of Protector Gods and Underworld Demons crossing the bridge of the afterlife to battle for Earth. While stranded on the Great Trek to find the divine black pearl, Bakari, a Marinda warrior, dreams of predicting the monsoon. Summoning Cagin, the Sorcerer, he is granted his wish, but it must be repaid. Gaia, the Earth Mother, discovers his secret and empowers him as a Spirit God who commands the seasons. When Gaia births her Gem daughters, Diamond, Ruby and Sapphire, Bakari swears to protect them from the Underworld, as foretold by the Prophecy of the ancient Sidhe. He knows the crystal formation of Gem is the only weapon that can challenge Hades and his quest for the Earth. The Prophecy of the Sidhe, which foretells the Underworld's contest for Earth and the threat to the powers of Gem, sets Gaia the Earth mother to rally her protectors with the African tribes, and clear the divide of gods and men. Like their ancestors before them, Bakari and his brothers must band together as warriors, for honor, for tribe, and for Gem. Victoria Middleton, writing as Victoria Leeman, is a marketing coordinator for a retail group in Sydney, Australia. With a fine arts background, she has ventured into many fields, including business management, Australian art design, export, and sales. The mother of two daughters, she loves to read almost everything, from ancient history to fantasy. This is her first published novel. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/VictoriaLeeman

Jewels

A Secret History

By: Victoria Finlay

Throughout history, precious stones have inspired passions and poetry, quests and curses, sacred writings and unsacred actions. In this scintillating book, journalist Victoria Finlay embarks on her own globe-circling search for the real stories behind some of the gems we prize most. Blending adventure travel, geology, exciting new research, and her own irresistible charm, Finlay has fashioned a treasure hunt for some of the most valuable, glamorous, and mysterious substances on earth. With the same intense curiosity and narrative flair she displayed in her widely-praised book Color, Finlay journeys from the underground opal churches of outback Australia to the once pearl-rich rivers of Scotland; from the peridot mines on an Apache reservation in Arizona to the remote ruby mines in the mountains of northern Burma. She risks confronting scorpions to crawl through Cleopatra’s long-deserted emerald mines, tries her hand at gem cutting in the dusty Sri Lankan city where Marco Polo bartered for sapphires, and investigates a rumor that fifty years ago most of the world’s amber was mined by prisoners in a Soviet gulag. Jewels is a unique and often exhilarating voyage through history, across cultures, deep into the earth’s mantle, and up to the glittering heights of fame, power, and wealth. From the fabled curse of the Hope Diamond, to the disturbing truths about how pearls are cultured, to the peasants who were once executed for carrying amber to the centuries-old quest by magicians and scientists to make a perfect diamond, Jewels tells dazzling stories with a wonderment and brilliance truly worthy of its subjects.

Breathe in Jesus and Other Poems

By: Dr. Victoria Z. Veloria

Breathe in Jesus and Other Poems is a collection of stories in poetry form that revolves within and around the writers life and those near herher family and circle of friends. It is the reflection of life itselfits beauty and bliss, wounds and scars brought by trials, and Gods own way of revealing Himself, lighting the path and directing those who seek Him. It is in the spirit of sharing and witnessing to the Lords glory and grace that events are unfolded and not on personal note to conceal what the general public may consider private. For it is said, Whoever boasts should boast in the Lord (2 Corinthians 10:17). Breathe in Jesus is meant to inspire the broken-hearted and those who suffer or are still undergoing persecution and loss in different degrees or measure. Not until one sees others suffering or loss could he understand himself and his situation, not until he is shown the manifestation of Gods intervention would enable him to reflect too and be able to see what the Lord has in store for him, and not until he calls on Him could he find God and be blessed by Him! It is on this motive that this book is written, for indeed, the Word of the Living God rules the human heart and makes it breathe in Jesus!

The Aliens Among Us

By: Victoria Harrod

Montigan, the small but beautiful Martian country, now faces an existential threat. With a population devastated by years of war, they face annexation by their political enemies. Granted a one year reprieve by the Supreme Martian Court, Montiganians must prove they can rebuild their population to minimum legal levels, or their charter will be given to the very countries whose greed-driven wars brought them to this point. The first Montigan mission to Earth brought back human blood for DNA splicing into the Martian gene pool. The early trials failed to yield promised results, but their later advanced gene experiments had a surprising outcome: male human babies. Now, grown and trained as Martian agents, four of these humans, Steve Hamlet, Tom Steinway, Andrew Holloway, and David Conway, are Montigan's greatest hope to thwart its enemies. Their mission is to invade the Earth and bring back human female blood, so human babies' creation might continue on Mars. Handpicked for their unwavering allegiance to Montigan and their fluency in Earth languages, their loyalty will be tested as they carry out their own personal mission: Finding Earthmates and locating their bloodline to solve the mystery of their existence.

Stone Creek

A Novel

By: Victoria Lustbader

In the small town of Stone Creek, a random encounter offers two lonely people a chance at happiness. Danny, a young widower, still grieves for his late wife, but for the sake of his five-year-old son, Caleb, he knows he must move on. Alone in her summer house, Lily has left her workaholic husband, Paul, to his long hours and late nights back in the city. In Stone Creek, she can yearn in solitude for the treasure she's been denied: a child. What occurs when Lily and Danny meet is immediate and undeniable—despite Lily being ten years older and married. But ultimately it is little Caleb's sadness and need that will tip the scales, upsetting a precarious balance between joy and despair, between what cannot happen . . . and what must. An unforgettable novel of tremendous emotional heft, Stone Creek brilliantly illuminates how the powers of love and loss transform the human heart.

Celebrating Life Customs around the World [3 volumes]

From Baby Showers to Funerals [3 volumes]

By: Victoria R. Williams

This book documents hundreds of customs and traditions practiced in countries outside of the United States, showcasing the diversity of birth, coming-of-age, and death celebrations worldwide. From the beginning of our lives to the end, all of humanity celebrates life's milestones through traditions and unique customs. In the United States, we have specific events like baby showers, rites of passage such as Bat and Bar Mitzvahs and "sweet 16" birthday parties, and sober end-of-life traditions like obituaries and funeral services that honor those who have died. But what kinds of customs and traditions are practiced in other countries? How do people in other cultures welcome babies, prepare to enter into adulthood, and commemorate the end of the lives of loved ones? This three-volume encyclopedia covers more than 300 birth, life, and death customs, with the books' content organized chronologically by life stage. Volume 1 focuses on birth and childhood customs, Volume 2 documents adolescent and early-adulthood customs, and Volume 3 looks at aging and death customs. The entries in the first volume examine pre-birth traditions, such as baby showers and other gift-giving events, and post-birth customs, such as naming ceremonies, child-rearing practices, and traditions performed to ward off evil or promote good health. The second volume contains information about rites of passage as children become adults, including indigenous initiations, marriage customs, and religious ceremonies. The final volume concludes with coverage on customs associated with aging and death, such as retirement celebrations, elaborate funeral processions, and the creation of fantasy coffins. The set features beautiful color inserts that illustrate examples of celebrations and ceremonies and includes an appendix of excerpts from primary documents that include legislation on government-accepted names, wedding vows, and maternity/paternity leave regulations.

Diffuse Neutron Scattering from Crystalline Materials

By: Victoria M. Nield,David A. Keen

This is the first comprehensive account of diffuse neutron scattering, a unique tool for determining structural disorder in solids. The text takes the reader through theoretical, computational and experimental developments in the subject and describes in detail its application to a number of structural disorder problems. These include the more traditional subjects of substitutional disorder in alloys and orientational disorder in molecular systems as well as the more recent studies of superior and framework materials. Particular emphasis is placed on recent refinement methods for data interpretation and these are compared with established computer simulation techniques and analytical approaches. The book collects disparate themes into one unique volume, which is written as an introduction to the methods for graduate scientist and as a valuable reference or the expert crystallographer who wishes to apply modern interpretative techniques to diffuse scattering data.

Storegga Tavern

By: Victoria Exner

The realm of Northland, somewhere between the nine ancient worlds and still full of magic, is difficult to reach, but for those who really want to travel so far, there might be a way. After Ragnarok, there was the rebirth of the next world of Midgard/Earth. In a great slide, Storegga, a piece of the first world, Northland, slid into the space between the nine ancient worlds. Northland is a bridge to all nine worlds of Yggdrasil Circle, and the Northlanders, who possess many odd skills, magic, strange knowledge, and hidden talents, have casual contacts with the old world. The ancient law of Northland is its essence. There is also an old contract and oath of nonintervention in Midgard. Not keeping this oath might destroy all there is. However, sometimes it is difficult to keep it. The time changes, and the circle of the nine ancient worlds will exist only in the dreams and longings. Power and knowledge are always dangerous as the Mage of Storegga says when standing on the Storegga Cliff high above the vortex of Maelstrom and looking over the Grey Ocean of Northland. What you want to know now you might not want to know tomorrow.

Memory of Empires: Ancient Egypt - Ancient Greece - Persian Empire - Roman Empire - Byzantine Empire

By: Elie Faure,Victoria Charles

Empires are born. Empires reach their peak. Empires die, but leave their mark through their architecture and artistic achievements. From these specks of dust of memory, 40 centuries of history shape our world of the 21st century. The power of ancient Egypt was followed by the influence of Greece, which brought the Persian East together in the conquests of Alexander the Great. After Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt, Rome became the power that ruled part of the world, finally dying out in the fall of the Byzantine Empire on 29 May 1453. The authors take the reader on a journey through time and space and highlight the succession of these civilisations that rubbed shoulders, even fought against each other and led us towards a more enlightened humanity.
