Poseidon S Realm

Tasked with guarding the sea god Poseidon’s vault, Fiona, intense and sexy warrior siren of the deep, was not about to let it be known someone had stolen treasure under her watch. But when she traveled to the human realm to reclaim what belongs to her god the last thing she expected to find was searing passion in the arms of a man. Trace wears guilt like a second skin. Ever since his fellow Navy Seal buddy died he’s been pushing his limits in the sea. Finding a cave filled with ancient artifacts was great but having a sexy temptress storm into his life is a wet dream come true. One he’s not about to let free from his bed anytime soon, especially since his idea of a punishment means fun for all. The sea laws are harsh and in the end Fiona’s one night of hot, sweaty sex with a human could be too much for them both.

Twenty-five papers from the Institute for Mediterranean Studies in Crete provide a best practice guide for the use of geophysical, geoarchaeological, geochemical and surveying techniques to study ancient landscapes.

This is a modern, annotated translation of antiquity's only extant commentary on Plato's moral and political dialogue "Gorgias," in which the author defends ancient Greek philosophy and culture at a time when Christianity has almost replaced it. The first translation into any modern language of a central work in Platonic studies is accompanied by annotations which guide the reader in understanding the obscurities of the text, an introduction to the main issues raised by it, and a bibliography of the modern literature.

This book provides a translation of the only surving ancient commentary on Plato's Goroias, written by the Alexandrian Platonist Olympiodorus in the sixth century A.D. There are substantial notes on the commentary, which assist the reader to understand the context of Olympiodorus' Platonism, the choices available to him as an interpreter, and the special characteristics of his interpretation. A full introduction tackles the issues of greatest interest that arise from the work, including the author's mission as a Hellenist resisting Christian attacks on his discipline. Indices are provided. The authors show that there is much more of value in this commentary than has often been supposed, and that the differences between Olympiodorus' approach and those of modern commentators are often illuminating.

The God of the Seas doesn’t believe in soul-love. He rules his kingdom with an iron fist. When whalers try to kill his creatures he lets his anger get the best of him. Saving the woman diver unleashes a chain of events and for once in his existence Poseidon doesn’t know how to cope with the strong-willed female who doesn’t think much of him. Soki can’t believe her luck. Determined to make her way in the world by using her brain she knows she doesn’t have the looks to attract men like the man who kissed her back to the land of the living. Passion and friendship are two things Poseidon never thought to encounter in a female, let alone a mortal human woman. A taste of Soki’s love is not enough and the God of the Seas will do all he can to convince her he’s worth dying for.

When the marine archaeologist Dr. Jack Foster discovers an unknown place built like an antique city off the Gulf Coast of Florida, he soon realizes that he accidentally came across a triton-conspiracy aiming at taking over the world supremacy by creating a new nuclear catastrophe, worse than Fukushima. Quickly, Jack gets involved in the matter and unerstands that he has to take down the head of the conspirators. He gets on a journey that brings him to Berlin, to the Mont-St-Michel, to New York, Phoenix, and Las Vegas where the powers of the underworld are gathering for a final showdown. However, Jack is not alone. Fighting by his side are his best friend Tony, the attractive biologist Cat, a German professor, and, what is not always to his liking, his mother.

Despite their fame and reputation, dinosaurs represent only half the story of the Mesozoic Era. In Beast Companions: The Unsung Animals of the Dinosaurs' World, paleontologist John Foster explores the often-overlooked animals that coexisted with them. These ancient species, often equally remarkable as their dinosaur neighbors, can provide valuable insights into the biotic history of our planet. In some cases, these animals reveal just as much, if not more, about the extinct ecosystems of the time as the dinosaurs themselves. By drawing on a wealth of current and past discoveries, Foster embarks on a sweeping journey across 164 million years to visit the beast companions of the dinosaurs. Along the way, he examines fish, insects, the first frogs and salamanders, turtles, snakes and lizards, marine reptiles, crocodiles, pterosaurs, birds, mammals, and other animals of the Mesozoic Era. Beast Companions is a groundbreaking exploration of the story of these contemporaries of the dinosaurs that set the modern world in motion more than 200 million years ago
