Many have written of King Arthur, but in Merlin’s Bones Fred Saberhagen has wonderfully connected Camelot, what came after, and what came before, with our own near future through the spiraling coils of time. Nothing is what you were told, nothing is what you remember, nothing is what it seems. It’s terrific!” Robert Jordan, author of Wheel Of Time

Merlin, the wizard of Arthurian legend, has been a source of enduring fascination for centuries. In this authoritative, entertaining, and generously illustrated book, Stephen Knight traces the myth of Merlin back to its earliest roots in the early Welsh figure of Myrddin. He then follows Merlin as he is imagined and reimagined through centuries of literature and art, beginning with Geoffrey of Monmouth, whose immensely popular History of the Kings of Britain (1138) transmitted the story of Merlin to Europe at large. He covers French and German as well as Anglophone elements of the myth and brings the story up to the present with discussions of a globalized Merlin who finds his way into popular literature, film, television, and New Age philosophy. Knight argues that Merlin in all his guises represents a conflict basic to Western societies-the clash between knowledge and power. While the Merlin story varies over time, the underlying structural tension remains the same whether it takes the form of bard versus lord, magician versus monarch, scientist versus capitalist, or academic versus politician. As Knight sees it, Merlin embodies the contentious duality inherent to organized societies. In tracing the applied meanings of knowledge in a range of social contexts, Knight reveals the four main stages of the Merlin myth: Wisdom (early Celtic British), Advice (medieval European), Cleverness (early modern English), and Education (worldwide since the nineteenth century). If a wizard can be captured within the pages of a book, Knight has accomplished the feat.

The Great Viator, an explorer of the Milky Way galaxy is forced to flee his dying planet Yawnogard, and must select a safe place for his family, friends and dragons to begin anew. When the planet Earth is chosen as their safe-haven, a living crystal entity creates a space portal to transport them to Earth. Even though they find Earth’s inhabitants hostile to their presence, they choose to remain. Some go into hiding, while others assume roles within the population to determine a time that they may come forth and be accepted. Today, 900 years later, on an early summer morning in a small Pennsylvania town, teen brothers, John and Ian, unwittingly unleash The Great Viator’s personal dragon from its cave confinement. The dragon’s release initiates an exciting series of events, including: the discovery of The Great Viator’s real identity, an encounter with a determined government agent and the emergence of special latent powers upon the brothers who train to become dragon-riders. Once trained, the boys return to Yawnogard with The Great Viator to battle a powerful evil wizard. Here they meet a sentient crystal entity that is older than the universe itself, and discover they have a unique heritage on Yawnogard.

This is the first book compiling current research on the gut-bone signaling axis and its implications in the pathophysiology of GI and bone diseases. Rather than focusing on a single mechanism, this book provides the reader with a broad view on gut-bone signaling and the most up-to-date information in this rapidly growing area. The volume is also unique in that it looks at what is known about GI diseases affecting bone and then examines the role of the microbiome and its modulation by pre and probiotics to treat bone disease, placing this topic within the context of gut-bone signaling pathways. Understanding the Gut-Bone Signaling Axis will thus provide an understanding of how various therapies could be applied to this area.
