The Falcon at the Portal by Elizabeth Peters Pdf

New York Times Bestseller From New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Peters comes another riveting mystery in her phenomenally popular Amelia Peabody series. The Land of the Pharaohs harbors more secrets than any tomb can hide. In Egypt for the 1911 archaeological season, Amelia Peabody and her family are not anticipating trouble, but it finds them nonetheless. Their young friend David is accused of selling ancient artifacts, and it's up to the Emersons to expose the real culprit. But the body of an American discovered at the bottom of their excavation shaft and a child of mysterious antecedents are sparking twin crises that threaten to tear the family apart. Amelia brings her estimable powers of deduction to bear, but she might not survive long enough to unravel more than one perplexing puzzle—because suddenly someone is shooting bullets in her direction...and coming too close for comfort! “Amelia is rather like Indiana Jones, Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple all rolled into one.”—Washington Post Book World

Eleonora's Falcon by Harmut Walter Pdf

Named after a Sardinian princess of the fourteenth century who established laws protecting falcons, Eleonora's falcon is the only European bird to breed in autumn and feed its brood on the mass of birds that migrate from Europe to Africa between July and October. It breeds on small Mediterranean islands in colonies of up to 200 pairs and hunts often in groups, preying on more than 90 species of migrant birds. During the winter this falcon visits the rain-soaked woodlands of Madagascar. In this study—illustrated beautifully and extensively with 59 line drawings and 38 photographs—Hartmut Walter shows how the unique geographical and biological situation of Falco eleonorae makes the species' health an important indicator of environmental decay. For though it lives in relatively isolated areas, Eleonora's falcon nevertheless may ingest the many pollutants contained in its diet of birds migrating from industrial Europe. Walter, who has studied raptors on several continents and has been an ornithologist since his early youth, examines several discrete colonies of Eleonora's falcon. He concentrates on the species' intraspecific behavior and ecology—such as the falcons' aggressive actions, hunting strategies, and response to fluctuating environmental conditions—and investigates their evolutionary past.

The Pyramids and Triangles by Murat Tanta Pdf

The book bundle features five books. This first scenario exceeds the limits of human thinking. Conventional weapons and warfare are replaced by martial arts and chivalry, a new way of warmaking in the 21st century. The devil is gaining the upper hand, trying to take over control on Earth. Step by step, Satan and its followers advance... It is trying to establish control through its companions. The time has come to fight back. To win the war, humanity has to overpower hostilities against each other and enter an alliance against a common enemy. The pyramids and triangles fly towards earth. Evil will attack earth with these flying castles... Prepare yourselves for a next level experience! This book is a nice introduction to the sequel, explaining the basics of Satan's technology and a what if scenario follows, according to the decisions the people make. The second book is written for curious people, for advanced readers, it differs much from the first one! The second book is a political intrigue, which describes a futuristic scenario based on the current political situation. The third book ends the second book and humanity regains control of the planet. Developing from a barbarian civilisation towards a modern civilisation will not be that easy! The Rewind scenario. A book very enjoying to read. Actually every five books are different in style, and this one is unique as I describe someone who will change the world with his leadership, by doing this, I combine elements of surprise. Book 5, Replay, gives a fast action packed and paced experience to the readers, who have to accept, I presume, this one is the best possible scenario for humankind, totally defying the Reset and Rewind scenarios... Which scenario humanity will choose, will change future. At the end, when we manage to win from the antichrist, we have to fight Gog and Magog, that is for sure. So, which scenario would you prefer at the end? Reset, Rewind or the Replay?
