    The war of the three realms begins here… 
In the heart of the Samtoy Nation during the pre-colonial era of Philippine history, the world of Filipino heroes, deities, and mythological monsters collide in an ambitious re-telling of a classic Filipino epic. 
Our story begins with Namongan, a healer and midwife from an isolated village in the Ilocos Region who discovers that she is destined to bear a child blessed by the Poon deities. This child is Lam-ang and he is the first Lakandian. Maturing at a rate unheard of amongst mere mortals, Lam-ang also possesses the strength of a hundred men and was trained to be the greatest warrior for good the mortal realm has ever seen. 
Together with Mangmankik, an anito spirit assigned to look after him by the Poons, Lam-ang sets out on a quest to find the missing pieces of the Gayaman Amulet and rescue his father who was abducted by the insidious night creatures on the night that he was born. 
This book covers the first half of the life of Lam-ang, derived from the Ilocano epic Biag ni Lam-ang. The story follows the adventures of our hero as he uncovers the truth about himself as well as the truth about his role in the war between the forces of good and evil that threatens not just the fate of the world of men but all the realms of the spirit world as well.

    The United States, through its local, state, and national contests, holds more elections, more often, than any democracy in the world. But in recent years, there have been troubling signs that our system of campaigns and elections has become much more fragile and vulnerable. More specifically, in the past twenty years, campaigns have changed profoundly: social media and viral messaging compete with traditional media, races once considered local in nature have become nationalized, Supreme Court decisions on campaign finance law now encourage mega-donors, voters are more polarized, party affiliation has waned, and the middle ideological ground has given way to extremist language and voter rage. 
 
 
 
This new edition of Campaigns, Elections, and the Threat to Democracy: What Everyone Needs to Know® offers the most up-to-date examination of campaigns, elections, and future threats to voting and democracy. It will also include new data on voter participation, voter fraud, reapportionment post-2020 census, party polarization, campaign finance, and more. 
 
 
 
Given the fragility of our election process, what are the threats to a healthy American democracy? This is not simply a book on how campaigns are run, but why campaigns and elections are integral components of American democracy and how those fundamental elements may be vulnerable to misuse.

    The writing systems of ancient Egypt are among the most fascinating and intricate aspects of the civilization’s rich cultural heritage. These scripts not only served as practical tools for administration and communication but also held immense symbolic and ritual significance. The evolution of Egyptian scripts reflects the social, political, and religious transformations that took place throughout the millennia of Egyptian history. 
Egyptian writing developed as a means of recording religious texts, administrative documents, literary works, and personal correspondence. Among the earliest and most iconic forms of writing is the hieroglyphic script, characterized by its detailed pictorial symbols. While hieroglyphs are often associated with monumental inscriptions and sacred texts, they were not the only writing system employed by the ancient Egyptians. As the civilization advanced, the need for more practical and expedient writing methods became apparent, giving rise to the development of cursive scripts. 
Hieratic script emerged as a more fluid and practical adaptation of hieroglyphs, primarily used for religious texts, administrative records, and personal documents. Unlike the elaborate and artistic nature of hieroglyphs, hieratic writing was simplified, making it faster to write and more suited for daily use. Its cursive nature allowed scribes to quickly document information on papyrus, ostraca, and other media. Despite its practicality, hieratic remained closely tied to its hieroglyphic origins, preserving many of the same signs and structures.

    At Terezín, many children sang for the Nazi officials and the Red Cross. They were used as propaganda tools, between 1943 and 1944, to make the world believe that Hitler had given a "paradise" to the Jews. Only around 100 of the 15,000 innocent people who passed through this transit camp survived.
Ela Stein Weissberger, deported at the age of 11, is one of the few survivors. In Hans Krása's opera Brundibár (The Bumblebee) performed at the camp, she played the role of the Cat, the rebellious animal who attacks the mustached monster in the hope of winning the war! Her poignant testimony gives voice once again to the courageous, hopeful children who left 4,500 drawings, diaries and poems at Terezín.
Like an internal road movie, the author offers a parallel narrative—she looks back on her own family history, her search for Ela, her anecdotes from the shooting of a documentary film, and she speaks up for all children targeted by hatred.
