A magical, on-the-grandest-scale, action-packed, totally engaging and characterful fantasy novel from the bestselling authors David and Leigh Eddings. The Dreamers are children teetering on the brink of divinity. They have the power to change the world with their dreams. The Elder Gods have defeated the Vlagh twice – with the aid of the Dreamers and the mysterious Treasured One who seems, worryingly, to be controlling them – but the unspeakable Creature of the Wasteland is on the fast track to world domination as the time approaches for the Younger Gods to take their place. Now all the varied resources of the domains of the Gods are marshalled to bring a halt to the spread of evil. But there is pestilence and skirmishing, and suddenly the balance of power shifts. The Ruler of the Wasteland has infiltrated another domain of the Gods, the land of short summers, where bison and deer roam. There the strange and marvellous crystal gorge, which can be no natural formation of rock, is destined to become a battleground of great beauty and great terror. The enemy is closer to knowing the secrets of the Treasured One and the Dreamers are in grave danger of delivering a nightmare to the world of the Elder Gods.

America has enemies — ruthless people that the police, the FBI, even the military can't stop. That's when the U.S. government calls on Will Robie, a stone cold hitman who never questions orders and always nails his target. But Will Robie may have just made the first — and last — mistake of his career... THE INNOCENT It begins with a hit gone wrong. Robie is dispatched to eliminate a target unusually close to home in Washington, D.C. But something about this mission doesn't seem right to Robie, and he does the unthinkable. He refuses to kill. Now, Robie becomes a target himself and must escape from his own people. Fleeing the scene, Robie crosses paths with a wayward teenage girl, a fourteen-year-old runaway from a foster home. But she isn't an ordinary runaway-her parents were murdered, and her own life is in danger. Against all of his professional habits, Robie rescues her and finds he can't walk away. He needs to help her. Even worse, the more Robie learns about the girl, the more he's convinced she is at the center of a vast cover-up, one that may explain her parents' deaths and stretch to unimaginable levels of power. Now, Robie may have to step out of the shadows in order to save this girl's life... and perhaps his own.

More people are taking pictures than ever before, from serious hobbyists using digital SLRs to rank amateurs using cell phones.

Based in the same clear and comprehensive teaching techniques that made Horenstein's Black and White Photography a perennial classic, DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY is essential reading for photo enthusiasts who wish to bridge traditional darkroom technique with the digital present and future.

This collection of warm, often funny, always resonant photographs is a brand-new sequel to the 1995 «Life» picture book, «A Dog's Life»; and follows on the great reception that attended the publication of «Life with Mother» and «Life With Father». «Life's» editors have revisited the earlier book on dogs and have kept several of the classic or irresistible shots, but they have added new photography, enlivened the design, and added text and quotations that set the proper man's-best-friend tone and then carry it straight through the book. The best canine images from «Life's» storied pictorial archive, many of which first appeared on the magazine's «Just One More» back page, are here, as are disarming shots of Fido taken by the man in the street. The book represents a tribute to the bond each of us shares with our pets. Guileless, frolicsome, energetic, ever ready to please, full of love — that is the dog, and that is this special book.
