See, Selborne spreads her boldest beauties round The varied valley, and the mountain ground, Wildly majestic ! What is all the pride, Of flats, with loads of ornaments supplied ?— Unpleasing, tasteless, impotent expense, Compared with Nature's rude magnificenee. Arise, my stranger, to these wild scenes haste; The unfinish'd farm awaits your forming taste: Plan the pavilion, airy, light, and true; Through the high arch call in the length'ning view; Expand the forest sloping up the hill; Swell to a lake the scant, penurious rill; Extend the vista; raise the castle mound In antique taste, with turrets ivy-crown'd: O'er the gay lawn the flow'ry shrub dispread, Or with the blending garden mix the mead; Bid China's pale, fantastic fence delight; Or with the mimic statue trap the sight. Oft on some evening, sunny, soft, and still, The Muse shall lead thee to the beech-grown hill, To spend in tea the cool, refreshing hour, Where nods in air the pensile, nest-like bower; Or where the hermit hangs the straw-clad cell, Emerging gently from the leafy dell, By fancy plann'd; as once th' inventive maid Met the hoar sage amid the secret shade: Romantic spot ! from whence in prospect lies Whate'er of landscape charms our feasting eyes'— The pointed spire, the hall, the pasture plain, The russet fallow, or the golden grain, The breezy lake that sheds a gleaming light, Till all the fading picture fail the sight. Each to his task; all different ways retire: Cull the dry stick; call forth the seeds of fire; Deep fix the kettle's props, a forky row, Or give with fanning hat the breeze to blow

The kidnapping changes everything ... Twelve-year-old Jillian Blairington never thought she was particularly special. She was wrong. She's a Dream Shaper. The scientists responsible for the genetic modifications kidnap her in order to teach Jillian how to use her Gift. But she isn't alone. They also have her babysitter, Danielle Matheson, snatched to keep her in line. They also have a task for her. If Jillian can't master her Gift quickly, Danielle might only be the first victim of many.Interview with the Author:Q: What makes the Devya's Children series special?A: At the heart, this series is about family and friendship as well as the ethical questions surrounding genetic engineering. It's been likened to the Orphan Black TV show. I like to think of it as a more family-friendly take on those themes. The premise is that a brilliant scientist and his team created several genetically altered children who have special Gifts, such as telepathy, healing, and dream shaping.The journal/letters style is not unique to this series, but I believe ultimately it suits my need to get in these people's heads. I've worked very hard to fill the books with relatable characters. Some of them happen to have superpowers, but as Jillian points out, everybody has gifts, if not Gifts. It's just a matter of finding out what those gifts are and how they can be applied for the good of the world.Q: What order should I read them in?A: I suggest the traditional order of:- Ashlynn's Dreams- Nadia's Tears- Malia's Miracles- Varick's Quest... before jumping into the prequel--The Dark Side of Science--or the Ashlynn's Dreams Shorts.The prequel and the short stories can certainly be read as standalones, but they may be more enjoyable once the reader's already familiar with some of the characters.Q: Where does this book fit in the series? What theme(s) make it special?A: Ashlynn's Dreams is where it all started. This is definitely the place where you want to jump in and get connected. If I had to pick a few central themes, I'd say kidnapping, family, and genetic engineering.Why kidnapping? Well, it's awful and scary and just plain wrong, but in this case, there's a specific reason the scientists do it.How does family fit in? What makes a family? The truth is that family's a complicated thing. For example, here, Jillian has a mother, a father, a step-father, and much more. It's been fun to explore those connections.Science fiction's all about the what-ifs. We're actually just getting into the advancements in real world genetics where some of these things could be in the near future. That's going to open a whole can of ethical worms.Fiction's a wonderful playground for delving into scientific ethics.Q: Why should readers check out this series?A:Because Devya's Children will introduce you to a charming cast of characters dealing with some big issues. Right or wrong, the children exist, so now what? If you have the power to change the world, should you? What are the personal cost and consequences of shaping the world?These are all questions explored by the series.Q: Can the reader get the whole series at once?A: Readers can grab books 1-3 in a combination.

A vibrant celebration of surfers in and out of the water from an award-winning photographer Professional photographer Thom Gilbert spent four years among surfer royalty at the top of their game—in Spain, New York, California, and Hawaii—with his camera trained not only on tiny figures disappearing in the waves, but also on the surfers’ faces and bodies back on land. He returned from the beaches with intimate portraits of the world’s best—from the newest talent to the oldest and most revered—and also with dramatic action shots and revealing images of the culture around this sport and lifestyle. The book features not only 300 photographs, but some Q&As with, and hand-written contributions from, prominent figures in the scene. Ultimately, Waves is an ode to surfing and to the men and women who live it every day.
