    Paris Under Water - How the City...

    In the winter of 1910, the river that brought life to Paris quickly became a force of destruction.  Torrential rainfall saturated the soil, and faulty engineering created a perfect storm of conditions that soon drowned Parisian streets, homes, businesses, and museums. The city seemed to have lost its battle with the elements. Given the Parisians' history of deep-seated social, religious, and political strife, it was questionable whether they could collaborate to confront the crisis. Yet while the sewers, Métro, and electricity failed around them, Parisians of all backgrounds rallied to save the city and one another. Improvising techniques to keep Paris functioning and braving the dangers of collapsing infrastructure and looters, leaders and residents alike answered the call to action. This newfound ability to work together proved a crucial rehearsal for an even graver crisis four years later, when France was plunged into World War I. On the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the flood, Jeffrey H. Jackson captures here for the first time the drama and ultimate victory of man over nature.

    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.

    How did medieval Africa impact the direction of the Middle Ages internationally? 
    When most people think about the Middle Ages, they think about Europe. Images of knights, jousting, and even Christianity seem ingrained in our understanding of the medieval era. However, the Middle Ages stretched far beyond Europe, which was struggling to rebuild after the fall of the Roman Empire. Europe may have fumbled along for about a thousand years, but Africa became a powerhouse of trade and wealth. 
    For years, many scholars have ignored medieval Africa. There aren’t many written documents from the African kingdoms, so historians rely on outside sources and archeology. Many people don’t realize Africa was brimming with innovation during this time or that it was connected to the outside world. Although historians don’t know everything about this period of African history, medieval Africa has not been lost to time. We still have so much to learn about this era and how it changed the world. 
    It’s time to set out on a journey to discover the empires and people who made medieval Africa so influential. In this new and captivating audiobook, you’ll learn how medieval Africa held its power and changed the world, impacting us today. 
    Here are some of the questions you will discover within this audiobook:Was Mansa Musa I really the wealthiest person in world history?Why wasn’t the Ghana Empire close to modern Ghana?How did Islam come to Africa?Are any of the medieval empires still here today?How did the African kingdoms react to the slave trade?Why were the Portuguese important to the Benin Empire?How did Timbuktu become a center for trade and learning?Why did the Kingdom of Abyssinia adopt Christianity instead of Islam?

    "Dual Calling: Pulpit and Politics" by Shirley H. Clark powerfully attests to conviction, persistence, and divine intent. From subjective struggles to unpredictable callings, this book indicates how God's hand guides even the most problematic courses. The journey commences with unyielding faith through betrayal and difficulty, underscoring how prayer and trust in God's plan provide strength. The book draws conceptions keenly from scripture to illustrate how faith, like a mustard seed, can develop into a life of purpose. As an educator, Clark shares experiences working with children with special needs, exhibiting how patience, prayer, and trust in God shape a calling to serve. The narrative then evolves into an exceptional metamorphosis—answering both a ministerial and political calling and ascertaining that faith can surpass conventional peripheries. This account analyzes leadership, obedience, and the consonance between faith and governance from the pulpit to the county council. Through every ordeal and accomplishment, it highlights how God's plan flares unexpectedly, reminiscing to embrace purpose with courage and belief.
