    Josanin the Heartless finds himself in a strange land with his old enemies, Prince Wilelm and Princess Ambre. It seems that the multiverse was rent asunder by the interrupted ritual. Now all the possibilities-all the various interpretations of time and space-have a chance at being represented in the reformed universe. And somewhere or another, most are. Realizing that Alimnazer is probably still alive and striving to complete his spell, the trio is faced with the fact that their feud may cost them the future if it continues. Meanwhile, Peter Alexeyevich Romanov, known to history as Czar Peter the Great, awakens in a Kremlin he doesn't recognize, surrounded by enemies from a future he never imagined. Desperate to stop this new enemy, Josef Stalin, from committing the atrocities attributed to him in the future, the Czar allies himself with David Benjamin, an Israeli Nazi-hunter, and Soundbyte, a masked vigilante who wields futuristic technology that ignites Peter's imagination of a Russia reborn. In Philadelphia, the Founding Fathers embark upon an astonishing feat of nation-building across an America transformed, prodded into action by both the extra-terrestrial superhero known as Alien, and the legendary wizard Merlin Ambrosius. As the heroes and ordinary folk of this new reality struggle to survive in a world that teeters on the edge of chaos, paths will cross, fates will be tied together, and common cause will be found. Because Alimnazer is out there. Waiting. And he has all the time in the world.

    "We walked to school. In the wintertime I remember as a very small child, when it was snowing and the wind was blowing very, very hard, Daddy would carry me so I would be facing south, and he would take the wind and carry me to school."Alma Roso HunterWhat do we remember as we look back on a lifetime? When 78-year-old Alma Roso Hunter was interviewed in 2003, the memory of her father sheltering her from a cold north wind remained vivid. It's a lovely recollection, full of meaning not just for Alma Roso Hunter's family, but also for her hometown of Tontitown, Arkansas, and for anyone who recognizes the importance of preserving stories of "everyday" life.Alma Roso Hunter's life story is one of 48 oral history interviews collected as part of the Tontitown Preservation Project, founded in 2002 by a group of volunteers who wanted to assist the Tontitown Historical Museum in its efforts to document and preserve the community's Italian heritage. The folks interviewed range in age from 56 to 93; most are in their late 70s and early 80s. They relate their memories with a refreshing candor that often comes with age. Most of them are first generation Italian Americans. Their everyday lives still contain many direct ties to their Italian roots. Most of them grew up during the Great Depression. They describe the hard times that were known to most all rural Ozark families during those years.In Memories I Can't Let Go Of, the Tontitown Preservation Project interviews are presented as narrative stories, weaving together memories of grandparents and parents, home and community life, foodways, school days (with nuns as teachers), grape festivals and holiday traditions, marriage, and raising a family. Common themes emerge: a strong work ethic, the importance of family, and a genuine love for fun and fellowship.Susan Young is the outreach coordinator at the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History in Springdale, Arkansas. She is the author of So Big, This Little Place: The Founding of Tontitown, Arkansas, 1898-1917.

CCTV offers a unique ability to monitor wildlife in real time, stream video to the web, capture imagery of fast-moving species or cold animals such as wet otters or fish and maintain monitoring over long periods of time in a diverse array of habitats. Wildlife watchers can take advantage of a huge range of CCTV cameras, recording devices and accessories developed for use in non-wildlife applications. CCTV allows intimate study of animal behaviour not possible with other technologies.With expert experience in engineering, photography and wildlife, Susan Young describes CCTV equipment and techniques, giving readers the confidence to tackle what initially may seem technically challenging. The book enables the reader to navigate the technical aspects of recording: basic analogue, high definition HD-TVI and IP cameras, portable CCTV, digital video recorders (DVR) and video processing by focusing on practical applications. No prior knowledge of CCTV is required - step-by-step information is provided to get anyone started recording wildlife.In-depth methods for recording foxes, badger, deer, otters, small mammals and fish are also included, and the book makes comparisons with trail cameras where appropriate. Examples of recorded footage illustrate the book along with detailed diagrams on camera set-ups and links to accompanying videos on YouTube. Case-studies show real projects, both the equipment used and the results.This book will be of interest to amateur naturalists wishing to have a window into the private world of wildlife, ecological consultants monitoring protected species and research scientists studying animal behaviour.
