The Three Charms

Tales of Lemuria: The Three Charms is the continued story of Tegan and Telon, the King and Prince of Tunder Bin. Following the violent events at the Demon's Chamber and presumed death of the evil wizard Herrog and Milan, the captured Queen of Tunder Bin, Tegan must return to lead his people. Though five years have passed, Tegan still sends out his emissaries in search of Milan. When he learns of her location, Tegan discovers not everyone will answer his call for help. Undaunted, he goes to save her, but soon learns a far greater, far darker power, is seeking his lost weapons for the battle ahead. The two brothers must again find their own way. All the while, their enemy prepares, with the fate of Lemuria hanging in the balance.

Lead So Your People Speak Freely Candid communication enhances innovation, ownership, engagement, and performance. The benefits of hearing questions and uncertainties, good and bad ideas, and honest feedback are game-changing. Yet research shows that most of the time, people never share their true thoughts with each other—and especially not with their leaders. But what if they did? What if everyone could confidently communicate without fearing a negative response? In Permission to Speak Freely, highly acclaimed leader developers Doug Crandall and Matt Kincaid illustrate the benefits of candor, explain the inhibitors that cause it to feel unsafe, and provide tools for leaders to encourage their people and embed trust and openness into the foundation of their organizational culture.

Remy’s just graduated college and... been kidnapped! Sent to auction. And she doesn’t have the vaguest idea why. But intractable businessman Isaiah Grommet knows why: Remy's a Liar Charm, invaluable to his billionaire empire –voluntary or not. Awakening in a locked room with other bewildered young women Remy is thunderstruck when informed by Isaiah what her new future is: working for him. Or, she can face the wrath (not to mention the executioner!) of Pakken, an old and powerful company of very patriarchal men siring very special daughters for very special remuneration they are NOT about to give up. But one Pakken father has had enough –and he’s secretly doing something about it. Another one is too but in a decidedly lethal direction. And Remy? Remy has a whopping big secret herself, one Pakken sure hasn’t bargained for. ’Cause when it comes to enslaved servitude, hipster Remy has some pretty intractable ideas of her own, creatively inventive ones if you want to be charitable, brain-bleached hilarious ones if you want to be accurate. So if Remy can just turn her “screw yous” into “yessirs” instead of launching her barmiest blast of fake-the-funk evah, she MIGHT not only stay alive but land the whole Pakken lot of ’em smack in the Hudson! Unfortunately Remy has never managed a “yessir” in her life.

Taoism remains the only major religion whose canonical texts have not been systematically arranged and made available for study. This long-awaited work, a milestone in Chinese studies, catalogs and describes all existing texts within the Taoist canon. The result will not only make the entire range of existing Taoist texts accessible to scholars of religion, it will open up a crucial resource in the study of the history of China. The vast literature of the Taoist canon, or Daozang, survives in a Ming Dynasty edition of some fifteen hundred different texts. Compiled under imperial auspices and completed in 1445—with a supplement added in 1607—many of the books in the Daozang concern the history, organization, and liturgy of China's indigenous religion. A large number of works deal with medicine, alchemy, and divination. If scholars have long neglected this unique storehouse of China's religious traditions, it is largely because it was so difficult to find one's way within it. Not only was the rationale of its medieval classification system inoperable for the many new texts that later entered the Daozang, but the system itself was no longer understood by the Ming editors; hence the haphazard arrangement of the canon as it has come down to us. This new work sets out the contents of the Daozang chronologically, allowing the reader to follow the long evolution of Taoist literature. Lavishly illustrated, the first volume ranges from antiquity through the Middle Ages, while the second spans the modern period. Within this frame, texts are grouped by theme and subject. Each one is the subject of a historical abstract that identifies the text's contents, date of origin, and author. Throughout the first two volumes, introductions outline the evolution of Taoism and its spiritual heritage. A third volume offering biographical sketches of frequently mentioned Taoists, multiple indexes, and an extensive bibliography provides critical tools for navigating this guide to one of the fundamental aspects of Chinese culture.
