With his mind fractured, Apollo finds himself chained within Gaea's inner sanctum for his own protection and that of the world.

As some struggle to save Apollo, someone from his own family who has lived in secret and manipulated humanity for millennia seeks revenge. Mysteries unfold tied to this ancient menace, revealing how he has created a place where paranoia and distrust have become the norm. Task Force: Gaea, with unexpected allies, now faces the delicate task of healing an Olympeian god's mind before madness takes hold while keeping Earth safe from Zeus before this threat against Apollo can find him.

One born of air. One born of fire. Together, two teenagers must stop a god war. Conall and Aedan, having reached their sixteenth year, both leave their homes to go on a quest for their spirit guides, only to be swept into intrigue and mystery when the Elder Druids tell the boys they are tied to prophecy about a great war between the Ancient Ones, the Ársa and the Fonn, who want to do battle on the lands of Inis Crainnshir-one that could destroy both the mortal and immortal realms alike, including Tir na nÓg, the Otherworld. To prevent this, Conall-with his hawk, Lann-and Aedan-with his dragon, Fiachra-will journey to find the thirteen Wands of Danu dispersed across the world. Not only will they travel through perilous lands unknown, but also contend with banshees and other monsters, as well as the dark Fomoragh, a demonic band whose sole purpose is chaos. With the aid of druids, friends-new and unlikely, and heroes, Conall and Aedan need to go from farm boys to warriors if they have any chance for success. They learn something, however, that ties them to the Ancient Ones, something that will challenge their quest and forever alter their friendship.

In this lively history and celebration of the Pacific razor clam, David Berger shares with us his love affair with the glossy, gold-colored Siliqua patula and gets into the nitty-gritty of how to dig, clean, and cook them using his favorite recipes.

In Cultures in Collision and Conversation, David Berger addresses three broad themes in Jewish intellectual history: Jewish approaches to cultures external to Judaism and the controversies triggered by this issue in medieval and modern times; the impact of Christian challenges and differing philosophical orientations on Jewish interpretation of the Bible; and Messianic visions, movements, and debates from antiquity to the present. These essays include a monograph-length study of Jewish attitudes toward general culture in medieval and early modern times, analyses of the thought of Maimonides and Nahmanides, an assessment of the reactions to the most recent messianic movement in Jewish history, and reflections on the value of the academic study of Judaism.

These include controversies among historians, the promise and challenge of interfaith dialogue, and the explosive exchanges surrounding Mel Gibson's film on the passion. This volume will engage scholars, students, and any reader intrigued by one of the longest and most fraught inter-group relationships in history.
