Empire at War
Omnibus of classic stories from the old Warhammer Fantasy universe. The Empire is the largest and most powerful realm in the Old World. Founded by the warrior-god Sigmar, it is built up of city-states and provinces that are now bound together under the rule of the Emperor Karl Franz. Only through the actions of its valiant heroes has it repelled the numerous invasions brought against it. And in the far north stands Kislev, one of the Empire’s staunchest allies and the first bastion against the rampaging Chaos hordes beyond… This omnibus edition collects together three tales of heroism and sacrifice focusing on the dour but courageous Winged Lancers of Kislev, the doughty rank and file of the Imperial halberdiers and the pious warrior-priests of the Sigmarite faith. Also included are an array of short stories focusing on the many fighters of the Empire.

Gullah Spirit

release date: Nov 23, 2021
Gullah Spirit
A celebration of the life and culture of the Gullah people of the South Carolina Lowcountry in 179 new paintings Jonathan Green is best known for his vibrant depictions of the Gullah life and culture established by descendants of enslaved Africans who settled between northern Florida and North Carolina during the nineteenth century. For decades, Green''s vividly colored paintings and prints have captured and preserved the daily rituals and Gullah traditions of his childhood in the Lowcountry marshes of South Carolina. While Green''s art continues to express the same energy, color, and deep respect for his ancestors, his techniques have evolved to feature bolder brush strokes and a use of depth and texture, all guided by his maturing artistic vision that is now more often about experiencing freedom and contentment through his art. This vision is reflected in the 179 new paintings featured in Gullah Spirit. His open and inviting images beckon the world to not only see this vanishing culture but also to embrace its truth and enduring spirit. Using both the aesthetics of his heritage and the abstraction of the human figure, Green creates an almost mythological narrative from his everyday observations of rural and urban environments. Expressed through his mastery of color, Green illuminates the challenges and beauty of work, love, belonging, and the richness of community. Angela D. Mack, executive director of the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston, South Carolina, provides a foreword. The book also includes short essays by historian Walter B. Edgar, educator Kim Cliett Long, and curator Kevin Grogan.

321 Real Estate

release date: Nov 20, 2020
321 Real Estate
This is NOT your average real estate book. We don''t assume you''ve got a massive amount of money to invest. We''re not going to throw you into a high-risk, low-reward market that puts you in a precarious position. We ARE going to show you how to build your recession-proof real estate empire from ground zero. We''re going to assume you have no money to start with and give you a system to implement to find massive success in the real estate industry. This book is for the average person who wants to buy their first couple of properties (actual homes, not giant complexes or corporate buildings), who probably hasn''t invested in anything before and is interested in using real estate to leverage their way to financial freedom. The strategies in this book are VERY different from those mentioned in other real estate books. Most large-scale real estate strategies are constantly in danger of cyclical downturns. Every ten years or so, we hear about a market crash, a market downturn, or the shrinking of the real estate market. And every ten years, many developers and investors are shattered, and their strategies have no way of helping them out of their misery. Nor is this house flipping in 90 days -- the sensational high-risk strategy that should be reserved for television shows. The strategy we’re going to give you is different. We''re going to give you several sound economic principles that will not only help you endure a recession but thrive while others are struggling. Instead of wondering if you''re going to pay off your house by the time you retire, your house is going to fund your retirement. How? By using the power of the 3-2-1 Formula. The 3-2-1 Formula is a very specific strategy that helps you buy your first three-story multifamily home in a way that allows you to have one level of the house to yourself while renting out the other two, making your home a 3-2-1 profit center! Here''s what you''ll learn: • The All-Important Rising Tide Rule: If you only have ONE takeaway from this book, this is it. This simple rule alone will give you a head start to find the perfect profitable house without getting caught in emotional decisions. • Leverage Other People''s Money With The 10X Rule: Why use your money when this strategy helps you make a profit with very little upfront to pay? You can even get the government to pay for your contractors. The risk isn''t on you. • How To Find The Holy Grail Tenant: If the thought of being a landlord sounds scary, don''t worry. We''ll go over how to weed out bad types of tenants as well as protect yourself with multiple layers of security to make sure you keep getting paid. • Avoid The Vicious Cycle (And Potential Bankruptcy): We''ll prepare you to survive the inevitable rise and fall of the market, show you how to read and respond to trends and control your risk as much as possible so you can avoid big losses and be comfortable in a recession! • Make Everything Easier With The Toddler Rule: It can be difficult to get loans and all the paperwork approved on time…but follow this rule and you''ll demonstrate you''re trustworthy and build relationships to make the process as smooth as butter. By the end of this book, you’ll be ready to close your first real estate deal, and we can''t wait to hear about your success. If the thought of using real estate to leverage your way into financial freedom and travel the world appeals to you, then you''re reading the right book. Scroll up and grab your copy of 3-2-1 Real Estate now!

Printing and Prophecy

release date: May 09, 2017
Printing and Prophecy
Printing and Prophecy: Prognostication and Media Change 1450-1550 examines prognostic traditions and late medieval prophetic texts in the first century of printing and their effect on the new medium of print. The many prophetic and prognostic works that followed Europe''s earliest known printed book---not the Gutenberg Bible, but the Sibyl''s Prophecy, printed by Gutenberg two years earlier and known today only from a single page---over the next century were perennial best sellers for many printers, and they provide the modern observer with a unique way to study the history and inner workings of the print medium. The very popularity of these works, often published as affordable booklets, raised fears of social unrest. Printers therefore had to meet customer demand while at the same time channeling readers'' reactions along approved paths. Authors were packaged---and packaged themselves---in word and image to respond to the tension, while leading figures of early modern culture such as Paracelsus, Martin Luther, and Sebastian Brant used printed prophecies for their own purposes in a rapidly changing society. Based on a wide reading of many sources, Printing and Prophecy contributes to the study of early modern literature, including how print changed the relationship among authors, readers, and texts. The prophetic and astrological texts the book examines document changes in early modern society that are particularly relevant to German studies and are key texts for understanding the development of science, religion, and popular culture in the early modern period. By combining the methods of cultural studies and book history, this volume brings a new perspective to the study of Gutenberg and later printers.

The Ulysses Quicksilver Omnibus, Volume 2
THE DARK HEART OF THE EMPIRE – EXPOSED! In his ongoing adventures in the services of Queen and Empire, Ulysses Quicksilver – hero and dandy – begins to uncover the corruption and decay in his beloved Britannia. This worthy tome collects three tales of desperation: EVOLUTION EXPECTS: After nearly 160 years as the supreme power on the planet, the British Empire has become stagnant and corrupt. The new Prime Minister, Devlin Valentine, promises change, but some lack the patience for politics. With a dangerous vigilante stalking the streets, a monster on the loose in the East End and rival gangs fighting for control, there may be nothing Ulysses – trapped in the notorious Bedlam Hospital – can do to prevent a catastrophic metamorphosis! BLOOD ROYAL: With the city, and the Empire, reeling from the transformations of a month before, a twisted new religion rises from the devastation. In the meantime, in Europe, the spectre of war rears its ugly head; and rumours hint at monsters, things of myth, on both sides. Ulysses Quicksilver, fighting for peace and for reason – for civilisation itself – follows a path that leads him from the shattered streets of London to the icy wastes at the heart of a secretive, bloody empire. DARK SIDE: Searching for his brother Barty, Ulysses heads to the British Lunar colonies. The trail leads him and his faithful butler into the path of unsolved murders, battling robots, shady millionaires and uncanny inventions. Stalled when he ends up on the wrong side of Lunar law and hunted by a mysterious eyepatch-wearing stranger, the dandy adventurer will uncover, in a secret base on the dark side of the moon, truths that will challenge everything he knew about Britannia...
