        The 1989 Revolutions in Central and Eastern Europe

        From Communism to Pluralism

        by Kevin McDermott, Matthew Stibbe

        This important book reassesses a defining historical, political and ideological moment in contemporary history: the 1989 revolutions in central and eastern Europe. Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, the authors reconsider such crucial themes as the broader historical significance of the 1989 events, the complex interaction between external and internal factors in the origins and outcomes of the revolutions, the impact of the 'Gorbachev phenomenon', the West and the end of the Cold War, the political and socio-economic determinants of the revolutionary processes in Poland, Hungary, the German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Bulgaria, and the competing academic, cultural and ideological perceptions of the year 1989 as communism gave way to post-communist pluralism in the 1990s and beyond. Concluding that the contentious term 'revolution' is indeed apt for the momentous developments in eastern Europe in 1989, this book will be essential reading for undergraduates, postgraduates and specialists alike. ;

Mark describes each of the spiritual gifts mentionedin the New Testament and provides tools for the reader to identify which gifts they have.

        Dark the Night Descending

        by Jennifer Bresnick

        Arran Swinn knows a thing or two about nightmares. After all, they killed his father. When the sun goes down, the Siheldi come out, and surviving the onslaught until daybreak can be little more than a gamble without the right protection. Thanks to a dash of luck, a little daring, and an heirloom from his father, Arran can provide protection these days – for the right fee. Guiding seagoing merchants along the haunted trade routes is easy money…right up until he takes on a secretive passenger who proves to be almost as bad as the Siheldi themselves. With the daylight fading and the ocean rising, Arran finds himself saddled with an illegal cargo, a bargain for his soul that he can’t hope to keep, and the unwelcome scrutiny of Megrithe Prinsthorpe, a tenacious trade inspector intent on seeing him hang for his misdeeds. After uncovering a plot that could replace the Siheldi with something much worse, Arran must decide just how much he’s willing to sacrifice to the spirits that have had him marked out since the night his father’s death changed his life forever.  DARK THE NIGHT DESCENDING is the first volume of The Paderborn Chronicles.

        Dark the Dreamer's Shadow

        by Jennifer Bresnick

        Arran Swinn is dreaming, balanced on the edge of death in the darkness deep under the earth, where the Siheldi make their home.  With nothing but a whisper to guide her, Megrithe Prinsthorpe is the only one who can bring his nightmare to an end.  Drawn back to the island of Niheba with new allies and a burning secret, she must once again follow Arran's fading trail before his enemies reach him first. The Guild of Miners has no power in the neneckt homeland, and King Tiaraku isn't the only one who knows it.  As the people of Paderborn go about their lives in ignorance, a sinister cult rises to seize power from the embattled king of the sea. Shadowed by the memories of a terror she should never have survived, Megrithe must find a way into the lair of the Siheldi Queen before Arran's fate - and the future of Niheba - are sealed by a shocking treachery. Dark the Dreamer's Shadow is the second book of the Paderborn Chronicles.
