Mirrodin—a world of living metal, an artificial ecosystem created by the Planeswalker Karn to support organic life—is on the cusp of cataclysm. When the Planeswalker Venser goes in search of his former mentor, he learns Karn’s life hangs in the balance—and with him the entire plane of existence. For fans of the mega-selling trading card game, Magic: the Gathering®, the full story behind Scars of Mirrodin, a revisitation one of Magic’s most popular settings.

For gamers and fantasy fans alike, a fast-paced, stand-alone adventure that brings the popular trading card game Magic: the Gathering® to life. Lurking in the space between the aether and the physical plane, there is a great evil waiting to emerge. Zendikar is a land of danger and adventure, a world of deadly risks and priceless rewards. It is also a prison to one of the most deadly species known to the Multiverse: the dreaded Eldrazi. When our story opens, part of the mystical containment spell that has kept the Eldrazi captive for millennia has been breached. The brood lineage, the Eldrazi minions, have been released and are poring over the plane, devouring everything in their path, but the swath they cut across the land is nothing next to the destruction that the still-imprisoned Eldrazi Titans will wreck once released. Nissa Revane, a planeswalker and proud elf warrior of the Jorga Nation, is witness to what the brood lineage can do. She sees that they pose a bigger problem than most suppose. Sorin, an ancient vampire planeswalker, knows this as well as anyone because he was among the original jailers of the ancient scourge. He has returned to Zendikar to make sure the Titans do not escape. They both want the Eldarzi threat extinguished but each has their own agenda. Nissa wants the Eldrazi off her plane entirely. Sorin wants to put the lock back on their cell. And there are still others who want the Titans to escape. Together they set out across the land on search of the Eye of Ugin, the source of the Eldrazi uprising, where they will face what could be their final challenge. Will the Eldrazi escape to menace the Multiverse once again?

8.5x11 hardcover. About 500 glossy photos on 285 pages. Includes a DVD inside the back cover--Neptune Speaks, the movie, with video and narrative of the same reefs featured in the stills.Neptune Speaks is packed with full-color photographs of tropical fish on every page, but this book is more than just a beautiful guide. It's a call to defend the creatures of the sea that are under attack by fierce predators--humans. The popularity of keeping tropical fish in home and office aquariums, and the overfishing of waters around the world to satisfy the demands of diners looking for ever-more exotic fare have put these amazing species in danger of disappearing entirely.Neptune Speaks delves into the perils of trafficking in wildlife for the pet trade. Why are colorful reef fish still taken in Hawaii with no limit on the catch, no limit on the number of catchers, and no constraint on rare, endemic or vanishing species? The author, known most commonly as Snorkel Bob, will explore and explain all the factors that perpetuate the destruction of fish and their habitats, while his photographs demonstrate the beauty and grace of the creatures we need to get serious about protecting.

Hi guys! Let me introduce myself. My name is Roger Raintree and I live in Middleton which is in the middle of America, in the middle of the suburbs just outside of St. Louis. My favorite things are baseball, good friends and now that I'm in the seventh grade--girls? The cover picture is one of my favorite places on earth, Busch Stadium, where the grass is almost always perfect and just the right shade of green. It’s where my favorite team, the St. Louis Cardinals, play. I love baseball but don't get me wrong, I love other sports too. I don't want you to think that this book is all about baseball because it's not. Well...one chapter is but that's the only one. It's really about the stuff that happens to a normal kid like me in seventh grade. Sometimes, things can be real unexpected like the time a creepy guy follows me and it turns out he is later arrested for murder. The name of the book is "Roger Raintree’s Seventh Grade Blues,” (if you remember, that’s me.) The blues thing is because sometimes weird stuff happens and also because we live in St. Louis. This city is home of the blues (for you guys who don't know, blues is a type of jazz, which was rock n' roll before there was rock n' roll.) This book started out as a short story about the time I ran away but then I just kept writing about the whole school year. It was kinda fun, but also a whole lot more work than I thought. It sure helped my English grade, but that's a whole other story. So, I guess you have to read the book. I run into quite a few adventures and even some girl stuff. I'd tell you more, but then you wouldn't read the book and I would kinda like you to read it. I hope you like it.
