Cameron Books

It is my view that folktales - tales of such quality that people kept the story alive for centuries - are excellent literature for people of any age. Anne Cameron aims her retellings of Northwest Native tales at a young audience but all of us can enjoy all of them. This particular volume is a favorite as I especially enjoy Nelle Olsen's illustrations.

In this tale Raven recovers all the water of the world which she finds in a very selfish frog. Anne Cameron uses her considerable skills as a writer to plant the tale firmly in the Northwest wet, sea-based native culture.

Fun book with fresh and new ideas.

I'm more of a pictures kind of guy, so this book was especially pleasing. Intriguing applications of "safey on the job" design, illustrated nicely with generous photos and diagrams.

By TT reviewer Amy L. Turpin [full review on our website]

Marese is a brilliant scholar whose only goal in life is to be accepted into a remote Academy where millions aspire to enter, but only a few are allowed. What she does not know is that all is not what it seems, and sex always has a means to an end.

Nona and Nadya are sisters who are trying only to survive a cruel, darkened futuristic Earth. Enslaved within the sex trade, Nadya has embraced her life while Nona is repulsed by it, even as her body accepts it. Her only hope for the life she has always dreamed of is to escape Earth and make her own way.

Conformity is a must. Sexual preference is controlled in mind and body. Problem is, sometimes the treatment can be the problem. Dayla has a membership and the treatment she receives is anything but conventional.

Nikki lives by putting her body on display. But the day to day routine isn't enough for her, until she unexpectedly meets two men who seem like strangers but are alarmingly familiar. Could she have at last found all she has been looking for? Has her life finally changed?

From the steamy jungles of distant planets to the dark alleys of a futuristic Earth, sensual beings explore new realms of sensuality. This collection of short stories encompasses many different aspects of the Science Fiction genre and entwines it with erotica. These are but a few of the fantastical tales the reader will find in this sensual thriller. These stories contain graphic imagery and are not for the sensitive reader.

This iteration of the Seven Soldiers, gathered together to fight the influence of the Sheeda, after the first batch of low rent heroes Vigilante gathered were butchered, are :-

Shining Knight
Guardian
Bulleteer
Klarion
Frankenstein
Zatanna
Mister Miracle

In this case, it is the 'other' Mister Miracle, not Scott Free. Further in to the story, they begin to understand a little of what is happening, but are still a bit freaked, in general.

McFarlane's book is quite good on the topic it covers. It avoids essentializing or questing after gay identity in a politically-motivated way (although this too has led to worthwhile criticism), and remains skeptical and interested in the ways that the figure of the sodomite is constructed as a political and moral trope that captures many other "transgressions" beyond that it claims to name. Particularly relevant and enlightening are his readings of Smollet and Cleland's Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure.

Storm Rider's volume 12 is the ongoing saga of Bu-Jing-Yun (Cloud), his adopted brother Wind (Nie-Fong), and their struggles against their evil stepfather Lord Conquer.

In this issue Jien Chen and Luo Bu-Jing-Yun go to Sword Worship villa to find ultimate sword. Their quest is thwarted by Sword Greedy, Sword Demon and Lady Au. They duel together in a strange and mystical edifice called 'sword pond,' will Cloud survive the encounter?

This installment of Storm Riders was not as good as previous volumes, primarily because Nie-Fong was absent most of the time and a new character: Jien-Chen was focused on. As someone who is a fan of the original cast (Wind, Cloud and Frost), I found this somewhat disappointing. Nie-Fong is my favorite character!

Even though the plot was a little thin in this issue, Wing Shing Ma's art is beautiful and fun too look and reading issue 12 is important to understand the events in 13.

Had to read the book in one sitting. The main character, Liz, is not always a sympathetic character, but you can't help wanting to know what will happen to her next. There are many other memorable characters in the book.

I love every page of this book. I could not put it down. His characters and the places surrounding them are so vivid you can see them. His writing is excellent, great detail and suspence in each chapter. You cannot guess the end of this book unless you go to the last page. A great weekend read.

I have found this book excellent to use. It is a pretty compact book covering most areas of emergency medicine in less than 1000 pages. The only downside is that sometimes due to this the finer details are missing.... but i guess that's what those big thick reference texts are for. Also it's written by members of the Australian College of Emergency Medicine so it's great for studying for ACEM exams.
