For Andrew Collier this has never been a problem. An astronomer with comfortable means, he has abided by his nation's laws all his life. Until now.

Returning from a covert trip to Russia after contacting entrepreneur Dan Barnmore and connecting with a Russian space company, Andrew is detained by two guards and pressed for information. When he is unexpectedly rescued, a whirlwind race for time begins as Andrew and his unlikely savior seek to inform the necessary powers of the asteroid's path before they can be stopped by the heavy hand of the government. A unique insight into what could happen if man responded to his duty, Atlas Rising portrays a world where, amid a stifled life, The contrast of hope shines even brighter. Discover the difference one man can make in W. C. Augustine's eye-opening novel, Atlas Rising.

As You Like It has sometimes seemed a subversive play that exposes the instability of gender roles and traditional values. In other eras it has been prized - or derided - as a reliable celebration of conventional social mores. The play's ability to compass these extremes tells an interesting story about changing cultural and theatrical practices. This edition provides a detailed history of the play in production, both on stage and on screen. The introduction examines how changing conceptions of gender roles have affected the portrayal of Rosalind, one of Shakespeare's greatest comic heroines. The striking differences between the British tradition and the freer treatment the play has received abroad are discussed, as well as the politics of court versus country. The commentary, printed alongside the New Cambridge edition of the text, draws on primary sources to illuminate how costuming, stage business, design, and directorial choices have shaped the play in performance.

This edition contains all three Dreamwalker novels: Dreamwalker, Dreamwalker: Reckoning, and Dreamwalker: Abattoir Dreamwalker Seventeen-year-old Misha Malloy has always dreamed of Ramsey, a beautiful teenager from a world called Alterna. Ramsey has always been there to love and protect her, but even he could not stop the car accident which left her in a coma; however, six months later, Misha has recovered and quickly finds that her world and Alterna are blending. Ramsey now comes to her in the flesh, and so does his brother, Elijah, who will stop at nothing to make Ramsey pay for an old transgression--including killing Misha. Dreamwalker: Reckoning Misha Malloy is lucky--she has a dream of a guy who loves her, literally. Her boyfriend, Ramsey, is a dreamwalker from the world of Alterna. In Dreamwalker, he came to protect her from his younger brother, Elijah, who covets all that his older brother has, including Misha and the throne of Alterna that Ramsey will one day ascend to. Yes, he will one day be king...if Elijah doesn't kill him first. Misha knows Elijah has taken Ramsey deep into Alterna. She knows because Elijah taunts her with nightmares of Ramsey's death at his hands, drawing Misha into a world she thinks is only a dream, a place she thinks she's never really been, but there's much Misha doesn't know. Dreamwalker: Abattoir In Dreamwalker: Reckoning, Misha Malloy just barely saved both Ramsey and herself from Elijah by banishing him from Alterna forever. It never occurred to her that in doing so, she might put her world in danger and that Elijah would stop at nothing to destroy all that she holds dear. What began in Alterna is now going to be finished in a world that doesn't even know about dreamwalkers and isn't prepared for all the beasts of such a mythical world, but Elijah and the witch Loreli now have an army of creatures ready to slaughter anyone opposed to them and the final battle is about to change everything we understand about dreams and reality.
