The End is Nigh: A History of Natural Disasters
Henrik Svensen

Reaktion Books, 2009

"The End is Nigh" is a history of natural disasters, reaching back through more than 2,000 years, and spanning many continents, including the Lisbon earthquake of 1755; the San Francisco earthquake of 1906; the South Asian tsunami of 2004; and hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans in 2005. Instead of being a mere catalogue of the world's calamities, however, Henrik Svensen has selected incidents that have in some way or other changed ...

Revell, 2007

Kelly's seasonal novella will inspire readers to find gratitude and joy in their own Christmas celebrations
For fans of the gentle read, novelist Leisha Kelly's series about the Wortham family has been a good fit: faith-filled and inspiring. The same readers of her earlier novels (JULIA'S HOPE, EMMA'S GIFT) should appreciate revisiting the same characters and storyline in TILL MORNING IS NIGH: A Wortham Family Christmas novella. The plot is simple. The Great Depression is still in full swing in ...

Wonderful debut!
This book has it all--romance, deception, action, and an exotic setting. What more could a girl ask for? The setting is Sofia, Bulgaria, a place that I knew little about before picking of Ward's novel. I like to read books that have a definite sense of place, that can teach me something new while entertaining me at the same time, and Ward's book is just that kind of book. You'll be swept up ...

The World as seen from Hong Kong. Refreshing!
The authors' location in Hong Kong gives this book a refreshing point of view which I appreciate because most of my financial reading is America centric. The book analyses the present financial and economic balance between the major economic blocks and explores various potential scenarios should things change. The authors divide the world into four economic spheres for the purpose of their ...

The Formula Book 3
Edward Nigh

Sheed Andrews and McMeel, 1978

Nigh-no-place
Jen Hadfield

Bloodaxe Books, 2008

The language of Jen Hadfield's poetry is one of incantation and secular praise. Her first book, "Almanacs", was a travellers' litany, featuring a road movie in poems set in the north of Scotland. "Nigh-No-Place" is the liturgy of a poet passionately aware of the natural world. Hadfield began her new book on the hoof, travelling across Canada with a ravenous appetite for new landscapes. She took epic routes: the railway line from Halifax to ...

Nigh Nirvana
Jonathan Stucki

iUniverse, Inc., 2006

Airen tired to slow his breathing, calm his racing heart. The blood rushing in his ears was like crashing cymbals. He clutched so tightly to his bow that he could feel the grain press into his hands. Sweat poured down his face into his stinging clamped eyes, and down his tunic. But his breath would not slow; he could not contain his panic. They would all die. Papa, his brother, their brave soldiers. He could see the face of one of his ...
