Origins of the Siren Wars by K. M. Robinson Pdf

A century ago, the human-mer treaty was established to protect the mer from the humans while they guided ships through storm-plagued waters. Now, Aila and her cousin, Persephone, act as representatives for their grandfather, King Gaspar, to the human world. The mermaids share a close bond with the Prince Jarek, but when Alia catches Persephone trying to siren him into the waters, she must work to protect her friend from her cousin without hurting the human-mer relationship--something Persephone's mother won't tolerate. War is brewing and Aila and Persephone are caught in the middle of a battle they never saw coming--one that will last for another century. Every war has an origin...she just never thought it would be her.

Sirens by Michael Bull Pdf

Sirens are sounds that confront us in daily life, from the sounds of police cars and fire engines to, less often, tornado warnings. Ideologies of sirens embody the protective, the seductive and the dangerous elements of siren sounds – from the US Cold War public training exercises in the 1950s and 1960s to the seductive power of the sirens entrenched in popular culture: from Wagner to Dizzee Rascal, from Kafka to Kurt Vonnegut, from Hans Christian Andersen to Walt Disney. This book argues, using a wide array of theorists from Adorno to Bloch and Kittler, that we should understand 'siren sounds' in terms of their myth and materiality, and that sirens represent a sonic confluence of power, gender and destructiveness embedded in core Western ideologies to the present day. Bull poses the question of whether we can rely on sirens, both in their mythic meanings and in their material meanings in contemporary culture.

Darker Depths by K.M. Robinson Pdf

The sirens have ripped Celena away from her collection of mer, leaving her exposed to the dangers of the open seas. As she fights to save her sister, the royal mermaid is forced into deadly encounters with anything that gets in the sirens’ way, taking the brunt of the trauma as she tries to protect her little sister and escape the sirens’ revenge. She quickly learns that the attack on the palace in Scylla wasn’t the only thing Tarni and Nir had planned—they intend to use Celena and her sister for an even darker purpose—starting a battle with the humans. When Merrick, Caspian, and Llyr try to free Celena and Coralie, they disrupt the sirens’ plans and find themselves in the middle of a war with both their enemies under the sea and the humans above the waves. As the collection closes in to aid in the rescue mission, they find themselves in a deadly siege above the surface that can only end in destruction. The Siren Wars are nowhere near over.

Beyond The Shores by K.M. Robinson Pdf

Inside the human palace, Celena is faced with a choice—cooperate or die. Separated from Merrick and the other mer, her only choice is to sway the human prince into befriending her despite his father’s resistance to create a new treaty with the mer. When her twin and the collection find Celena and Merrick, they create a plan to escape, but dangerous advances from above threaten to destroy their chance at survival. Celena and her friends find themselves thrust into a new side of the war—one where they have to side with the humans and work to help save them before it’s too late for anyone to survive this new battle. She may be fighting for her enemy’s safety, but the royal humans might kill her anyway. One way or another, the Siren Wars will finally end.

On the Lower Frequencies by Erick Lyle Pdf

On the Lower Frequencies is at once a manual, memoir, and history of creative resistance in a world awash with war and poverty. An icon on the 1990s zine scene, Iggy Scam traces not only the evolution of cities, but of his own thinking, from his early focus on more outré forms of resistance through more contemplative times as he becomes preoccupied with the need for a more affirmative vision of the future. In one of the book’s key pieces, Scam celebrates the history and passing of Hunt’s Donuts in San Francisco’s Mission District. On one level an epitaph for a beloved hangout and on another a metaphor for the effects of gentrification, it’s the untold history of an entire neighborhood in a single retail establishment. Whether handing out fake Starbucks coupons or dreaming of a future with more public art and punk holidays, Scam gives the reader inspiration for living defiantly.

The Oxford History of Historical Writing by Stuart Macintyre,Juan Maiguashca,Attila Pók Pdf

Volume 4 of The Oxford History of Historical Writing offers essays by leading scholars on the writing of history globally from 1800 to 1945. Divided into four parts, it first covers the rise, consolidation, and crisis of European historical thought, and the professionalization and institutionalization of history. The chapters in Part II analyze how historical scholarship connected to various European national traditions. Part III considers the historical writing of Europe's 'Offspring': the United States, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Brazil, and Spanish South America. The concluding part is devoted to histories of non-European cultural traditions: China, Japan, India, South East Asia, Turkey, the Arab world, and Sub-Saharan Africa. This is the fourth of five volumes in a series that explores representations of the past from the beginning of writing to the present day, and from all over the world. This volume aims at once to provide an authoritative survey of the field, and especially to provoke cross-cultural comparisons.
