The steampunk adventures of a young elven girl abandoned in a time of war, ancient forgotten technologies, and magic. Breeze is left in the care of a strange old Tinkerer, where she soon learns that the world is not as simple -or as safe- as anyone would like it to be. With a little help from the Tinkerman and his amazing discoveries, Breeze just might be able to change her world for the better. Unfortunately, peace is never easy and war always looms just over the horizon. This is Book One of Sedgwick's best-selling steampunk series, and the first of seven titles set in his eclectic post-apocalyptic world of magic and steam.

Five Stars - "WOW... This book drew me in instantaneously... beautifully written and wholly captivating. Breeze is a fantastic heroine, rising above herself and her situation... I was rooting for Breeze from the beginning, her story holding me in it's thrall until the final pages." -Semisweet Book Blog Four Stars - "This story was very captivating. The main character Breeze is well developed, going from a shy girl that is an outcast to a determined young woman with a dream she will not stop trying to fulfill, no matter the dangers that lie ahead. Sedgwick beautifully creates this other world that as a reader you totally get into." -Goodreads reviewer Five Stars - "I won this book on First Reads, and I was very excited to read it... This is a beautifully written book with an intriguing plot and a loveable main character. This is certainly one that I will reread!" -Goodreads reviewer Synopsis: Breeze is an outcast, a half-breed orphan born into a world torn apart by a thousand years of war. Breeze never knew her elven mother, and when her human father is recalled to the war, he leaves her in the safest place he knows: in the care of a reclusive tinker. The Tinkerman's inventions are frightening at first -noisy, smelly, dangerous machines with no practical use- but when the war comes home, Breeze sees an opportunity. If she can pull it off, she'll change the world forever. If she fails, she'll be considered a traitor by both lands and will be hunted to her death.

From its earliest years, the United States was a nation of tinkerers: men and women who looked at the world around them and were able to create something genuinely new from what they saw. Guided by their innate curiosity, a desire to know how things work, and a belief that anything can be improved, amateurs and professionals from Benjamin Franklin to Thomas Edison came up with the inventions that laid the foundations for America's economic dominance. Recently, Americans have come to question whether our tinkering spirit has survived the pressures of ruthless corporate organization and bottom-line driven caution. But as Alec Foege shows in The Tinkerers, reports of tinkering's death have been greatly exaggerated. Through the stories of great tinkerers and inventions past and present, Foege documents how Franklin and Edison's modern-day heirs do not allow our cultural obsessions with efficiency and conformity to interfere with their passion and creativity. Tinkering has been the guiding force behind both major corporate-sponsored innovations such as the personal computer and Ethernet, and smaller scale inventions with great potential, such as a machine that can make low-cost eyeglass lenses for people in impoverished countries and a device that uses lasers to shoot malarial mosquitoes out of the sky. Some tinkerers attended the finest engineering schools in the world; some had no formal training in their chosen fields. Some see themselves as solo artists; others emphasize the importance of working in teams. What binds them together is an ability to subvert the old order, to see fresh potential in existing technologies, and to apply technical know-how to the problems of their day. As anyone who has feared voiding a warranty knows, the complexity of modern systems can be needlessly intimidating. Despite this, tinkerers can -- and do -- come from anywhere, whether it's the R&D lab of a major corporation, a hobbyist's garage, or a summer camp for budding engineers. Through a lively retelling of recent history and captivating interviews with today's most creative innovators, Foege reveals how the tinkering tradition remains, in new and unexpected forms, at the heart of American society and culture.

Steam technology and spring-powered engines have evolved since Tinker's discovery of Blackrock Steel, which can store vast amounts of energy, but word of this incredible resource has spread far and wide. When a horde of barbarian warriors known as Vangars sweep across the Frigid Sea in massive airships fueled by precious but dwindling supplies of black tar-like oil, they are determined to learn the secrets of Blackrock Steel at any cost. They assault the capital city, slaying King Ryshan and the entire royal family, and then ravage the countryside, leaving a cloud of acrid black smoke and the stench of death in their wake. Breeze has been content with the peaceful life of a pilot, shuttling nobles back and forth in her spring-powered planes for years, but now the kingdom of Astatia has once again been thrust into war and the Vangars have taken Tinker captive. Breeze must rescue the clever old inventor who has been a father to her for most of her life, but she has one chance to defeat the Vangars. If she saves Tinker instead, Breeze might lose that opportunity forever. In the midst of the chaos, Breeze finds herself trapped in the middle of a romantic conspiracy to wed her off to a young pilot. She has no interest in marrying her would-be suitor, nor in the young Tal'mar warrior who would claim her as his own... or does she? The only thing Breeze knows for sure is that if she fails, the secret of Blackrock Steel will fall into the hands of the Vangars and Astatia will face a dark future of slavery and ruin.

Abitha Scarborough is a psychological specialist and a junior curator in the Ministry of Decorum, the wing of the Alterian Government that deals with manners, etiquette, decorum, espionage, misinformation, and propaganda. She and her family felt secure in their position in life, until they got the news that Abitha was being transferred to Joffrey Collins, the asylum for dissenters and criminally insane. This is not a good thing for the family. In a desperate attempt to stop the ruin of their family and the loss of everything they love, Abitha's daughters, Portia and Ursula, along with their closest friends in the informal gang they call The Renaissance Boys, decide to embark on a quest for the Tinkerer's Mainspring. Thought to be a myth, the Tinkerer's Mainspring is an ancient artifact, handcrafted by the rebels of old. If they can find the Mainspring, they can change everything. But they aren't the only ones looking for it — Lazarus Glass is close behind. Can The Renaissance Boys find the Mainspring and save the family before Lazarus can seize it?

Is Darwinian evolution really the most successful scientific theory ever proposed--or even the best idea anyone has ever had, as Daniel Dennett once put it? The Mystery of Evolutionary Mechanisms provides a comprehensive critical reading of the literature of evolutionary biology from Darwin to Dobzhansky to Dawkins, revealing this popular account of evolution to be a grand narrative of Darwinian triumph that greatly overstates the empirical validity of modern evolutionary theory. The mechanisms driving the evolutionary process truly remain a mystery more than one hundred fifty years after Origin of Species, a fact that can free religion scholars to think in more creative ways about the positive contributions religious reflection might make to our understanding of life's origin and diversity. The Mystery of Evolutionary Mechanisms calls for an embrace of mystery, understood not as an abdication of the scientific quest for truth but as a courageous and humble acknowledgment of the limits of human reason and an openness to a fundamentally religious orientation toward life.

Bloodied and scattered but still unbroken, the Knights Corporealis have one last option left to stop Balavad from conquering Vinnr—they may have to destroy it themselves. Book Four, the final story in the epic fantasy adventure of The Shackled Verities, with magic, monsters, and a Cosmos-crossing quest. Ulfric and Symvalline narrowly survived Balavad’s attempt to take over the realm of Arc Rheunos, and now find some relief in seeing their daughter Isemay adopt a new life there. If their hopes are answered, it will be a safe one. But hope is a fickle thing. Jaemus Bardgrim, on the other hand, remains the Cosmos’s most reluctant hero. With the aid of someone quite unexpected, he resumes his quest to save Himmingaze from the Glister Cloud’s looming annihilation. Yet, none of them can escape the real threat. Vinnr, and one way or another the Great Cosmos, lies at destruction’s doorstep, approaching its final defeat by Balavad’s cruelest Ravener army of all, the enslaved people of Dyrrakium. In The Shackled Verities’ final story, the Knights Corporealis go to war against dragørs, Verities, and time itself. They and their few remaining allies must rally for one last fight against Balavad the usurper. Some do it for hope, some for family, some for redemption, but in the end, they all face one truth: a human life is no match for the eternal power of a celestial. If they are very, very lucky, one Knight's sacrifice may be.

"It seemed to me that the bees were working on the very same kinds of problems we are trying to solve. How can large, diverse groups work together harmoniously and productively? Perhaps we could take what the bees do so well and apply it to our institutions." When Michael O'Malley first took up beekeeping, he thought it would be a nice hobby to share with his ten-year-old son. But as he started to observe these industrious insects, he noticed that they do a lot more than just make honey. Bees not only work together to achieve a common goal but, in the process, create a highly coordinated, efficient, and remarkably productive organization. The hive behaved like a miniature but incredibly successful business. O'Malley also realized that bees can actually teach managers a lot about how to run their organizations. He identified twenty-five powerful insights, such as: * Distribute authority: the queen bee delegates relentlessly, and worker bees make daily decisions based on local cues and requirements. * Keep it simple: bees exchange only relevant information, operate under clear standards, and use straightforward measures and feedback to guide their actions. * Protect the future: when a lucrative vein of nectar is discovered, the entire colony doesn't rush off to mine it, no matter how enriching the short- term benefits. Blending practical advice with interesting facts about the hive, The Wisdom of Bees is a useful and entertaining guide for any manager looking to get the most out of his or her organization.
