Описание: Dream demons, self-proclaimed werewolves, grape-stomping maidens and more. No matter how much Elaina sees, there's always something new to explore. But while investigating "the Witches of Darkness", she has another unexpected reunion...
Описание: It's a wonder how one witch can see so many fantastic places yet never settle down. Then again, when your average encounter involves biting into a poisonous apple, meeting a clumsy spy, rendezvousing with a flying dragon, finding a sunken city, exploring a frozen town, and more...you might find yourself reluctant to stay in one place, too. Be that as it may, this isn't the case for everyone. In fact, there's nothing Amnesia wants more than to go home, if only she could piece her memories back together...
Описание: It's not about the destination... A runaway princess, a zombie nation, a divine cat, and lots and lots of bread. These are just a few of the many highlights that color the travels of our young witch. Each place she visits is a new story waiting to be told, rife with encounters that are anything but typical and rarely ending the way anyone expects. Such is the magic of wandering, you see. You never know quite where you'll end up. A tale can take a turn at any moment and become something else entirely...
Описание: It's not about the destination... What's your favorite story? Does it have a hero who slays a dragon and saves a princess? Or a child of prophecy destined for greatness? Well, my favorite story is a little different. It's the tale of a witch who travels the world, seeking nothing in particular. With no quest of her own, she's free to wander wherever the wind takes her, adding a few pages to the story of whomever she meets before setting off on her next adventure. At the end of her travels, the witch takes on an apprentice who will one day begin her own journey. And so the cycle continues, or so the story goes. Now, the witch who starts the story anew...who could she be?
Описание: IT'S NOT ABOUT THE DESTINATION... Fresh encounters and warm reunions abound on the next leg of Elaina's journey. A witch in a birdcage. A distant princess and a phantom thief. A pinch of stardust. Hair the color of midnight. Sisters from the Country of Truth Tellers. A traveler's path intersects with others' only for fleeting moments, you see. Sometimes, the hardest lesson to learn is that every hello leads to a good-bye...and the journey never ends.
Описание: IT'S NOT ABOUT THE DESTINATION... No matter what corner of the world Elaina seems to find herself in, her journey shows no signs of slowing down. During this particularly magical string of adventures, she encounters a mysterious woman who runs a used bookstore, a renowned witch tasked with eliminating a group of bandits, a man and woman who find common ground within their checkered pasts, a land of witches obsessed with statues, a village populated only by beautiful women, a dragon emerging from its four-hundred-year slumber inside a boulder, and the witch who sealed it there. Many of these tales seem almost quaint, though, in comparison to the legendary account of two young witches and their discovery of a time-reversing pocket watch...
Описание: On this stretch of her leisurely journey, Elaina encounters a competitive broomstick prodigy, a bandit and their mother, a young politician and their wife, a woman who understands the feelings of tools, a sorcerer dedicated to medicine making, a cursed slave and a former mercenary, a succubus who has absolutely no luck with the opposite gender, a teacher and schoolgirl at a certain academy, and a woman who owns a bakery. Traveling here, there, and everywhere, Elaina spins yet another hilarious yarn. What new farewells await her this time?

Описание: Sponsored by the Infrastructure Resilience Division of ASCEA large portion of the world's population, infrastructure, and wealth is concentrated in locations prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, droughts, floods, and storms, so infrastructure resilience and sustainability as system characteristics are necessary for societal endurance and survival. Enhancing infrastructure at the element, system, network, and community levels will lead not only to massive savings and conservation of resources through efficiencies but also through risk reduction to life, property, and environment, and expeditious recovery in case of natural disasters.Hazard-Resilient Infrastructure: Analysis and Design, MOP 144, provides guidance and an underlying framework for creating consistency across hazards, systems, and sectors in the design of new infrastructure systems. The book also discusses enhancing the resilience of existing systems and relates this framework to the economics associated with system lifecycle, including organizational and socioeconomic considerations.This MOP uses probabilistic methods for risk analysis and management of infrastructure projects to address uncertainties within a planning horizon timeframe effectively. This approach includes identifying and analyzing hazards, system failures, associated probabilities and consequences including direct and indirect losses, failure and recovery profiles quantification of resilience, effects on communities, economics of resilience, and technologies for enhancing resilience for new, as well as existing infrastructure. Examples and cases studies are also included.Engineers, planners, researchers, and other community stakeholders will benefit from this manual as they make assessment, and planning and design decisions related to all types of hazards and infrastructure.
