Ziya should have been the one to escape. If she and the white dragon Kaal had tried to escape on any night but a snowy night, her black scales would have been better camouflage than his white ones. Instead, she was captured, and he went free. And her captors remind her of this every day.So when she gets the chance for revenge, she's ready to make him pay.
Caleb never wanted to join the army. And he certainly didn't want to be turned into a dragon. But when he doesn't understand how his new body works and can barely make a move without being watched by the wizard who took his humanity, how is he supposed to escape before he can be turned into a weapon of war?
Kaal and Ziya have one chance to find Alan and make him pay for all he did to them. Their dragon allies have agreed to let them try to confront Alan on their own, even though two adolescent, unnatural dragons who have never hunted down anything more than their dinner aren't much of a match for someone as powerful as Alan. But a human lord whose village specializes in fighting dragons might be just the ally they need. As long as he doesn't kill them first.
The dragon council has scorched most of the land in their quest to kill off the last of humanity. Now, even other dragons agree that they must be stopped. Unfortunately, the best way to stop them is to team up with the humans in Ytona, a village dedicated entirely to killing dragons and to making use of their magic. Caleb has been to the village before; the last time he went, he was imprisoned for being a dragon. But when he's gravely injured in a fight with the council, he has no choice but to entrust his safety to the village while he recovers. Nowhere else is safe. Now, without Caleb's silver tongue, Ziya finds herself alone among dragons, thrust into the unenviable position of speaking for all of humanity. She's not as good as Caleb is at uniting enemies, but she knows she has to try.

Radical Botany by Natania Meeker,Antónia Szabari Pdf
Winner, 2019 Science Fiction & Technoculture Studies Book Prize Radical Botany excavates a tradition in which plants participate in the effort to imagine new worlds and envision new futures. Modernity, the book claims, is defined by the idea of all life as vegetal. Meeker and Szabari argue that the recognition of plants’ liveliness and animation, as a result of scientific discoveries from the seventeenth century to today, has mobilized speculative creation in fiction, cinema, and art. Plants complement and challenge notions of human life. Radical Botany traces the implications of the speculative mobilization of plants for feminism, queer studies, and posthumanist thought. If, as Michael Foucault has argued, the notion of the human was born at a particular historical moment and is now nearing its end, Radical Botany reveals that this origin and endpoint are deeply informed by vegetality as a form of pre- and posthuman subjectivity. The trajectory of speculative fiction which this book traces offers insights into the human relationship to animate matter and the technological mediations through which we enter into contact with the material world. Plants profoundly shape human experience, from early modern absolutist societies to late capitalism’s manipulations of life and the onset of climate change and attendant mass extinction. A major intervention in critical plant studies, Radical Botany reveals the centuries-long history by which science and the arts have combined to posit plants as the model for all animate life and thereby envision a different future for the cosmos.
Mapping Media in China by Wanning Sun,Jenny Chio Pdf
Mapping Media in China is the first book-length study that goes below the ‘national’ scale to focus on the rich diversity of media in China from local, provincial and regional angles. China’s media has played a crucial role in shaping and directing the country’s social and cultural changes, and whilst these shifts have often been discussed as a single and coherent phenomenon, this ignores the vast array of local and regional variations within the country’s borders. This book explores media as both a reflection of the diversity within China and as an active agent behind these growing differences. It examines the role of media in shaping regional, provincial and local identities through the prism of media economics and technology, media practices, audiences, as well as media discourses. The book covers a wide range of themes, including civil society, political resistance, state power and the production and consumption of place-specific memory and imagination. With contributions from around the world, including original ethnographic material from scholars based in China, Mapping Media in China is an original book which spans a broad range of disciplines. It will be invaluable to both students and scholars of Chinese and Asian studies, media and communication studies, geography, anthropology and cultural studies.
Microprocessors in Signal Processing, Measurement and Control by S.G. Tzafestas Pdf
In racent years the LSI technology has witnessed a revoluti onary development, and allowed substantial reductions in the size and cost of digital logic circuitry. Computer system building blocks have progressed from the level of discrete components to the level of complex ICs involving many logic circuits on a single "chip". The invention and wide applica tions of microprocessors have changed the philosophy of the signal processing, measurement and control engineering fields. The microprocessor-based digital signal processing systems and controllers have replaced the conventional ones based on standard analog and digital computing equipment. The first microprocessors and "on-chip" computers have appeared towards the end of 71 beginning 72. Their evolution since then and the number of applications, in which they have been utilized, have both been extremely spectacular. New system concepts and hardware/software tools are steadily under development to sup port the microprocessor in its multiple and complex tasks. The goal of this book is to provide a cohesive and well-balan ced set of contributions dealing with important aspects and applications of microprocessors to signal processing, measu rement and system control. The majority of contributions in clude sufficient review material and present rather complete treatments of the respective topics.
Computer Subroutine for Presenting Meteorological Flight Data on the Printer (CURVPT) by Heinz H. Grote Pdf
This paper describes a subroutine CURVPT that provides a plot on the peripheral printer of up to six parameters with curve separation and automatic scaling. It was developed for automatic presentation of meteorological flight data by the computer but can be used universally.
The book contains clearly written thumbnail sketches of 31 people who were of paramount importance in the conception and creation of the computer industry
