“Lightman’s best book since Einstein’s Dreams . . . a piercing story of social dissolution in damaged Cambodia . . . an important story of global women’s rights.” —Annie Proulx The stories of one Cambodian family are intricately braided together in Alan Lightman’s first work of fiction in seven years. Three Flames portrays the struggles of a Cambodian farming family against the extreme patriarchal attitudes of their society and a cruel and dictatorial father, set in a rural community that is slowly being exposed to the modern world and its values. Ryna is a mother fighting against memories of her father’s death at the hands of the Khmer Rouge and her powerful desire for revenge. Daughter Nita is married off at sixteen to a wandering husband, while her sister Thida is sent to the city to work in the factories to settle their father’s gambling debt. Kamal, the only son, dreams of marrying the most beautiful girl in the village and escaping the life of a farmer. Yet it will be up to Sreypov, the youngest, to bravely challenge her father and strive for a better future. Three Flames is a vivid story of one family's yearning for freedom and of a young girl's courage to face down tradition. “Lyrical and poignant, Three Flames weaves the stories of three generations of a poor, Cambodian farming family as they struggle to survive and hold on to their humanity . . . Beautifully written and told with great compassion, Alan Lightman's novel gives readers a family that is rich in stories, history, and heart, proving in the end that love shines even in the midst of great darkness.” —Loung Ung, author of First They Killed My Father

Fires are significant to study due to the immense change they brought to urban life which make it possible to trace the policies, approaches, and regulations of the city rulers. When it comes to fires in the 18th century Istanbul, the Ottoman Empire's responsibility to return the city to pre-fire conditions, and bring normalcy to city life played a crucial role. This study is an inquiry into the Ottomans' perception of fires and urban regulations. Analyzing official sources, such as court records and archival sources, this study aims to understand the Ottomans' role and mindset toward the city reconstruction after fires. Also, by cross-checking official with non-official sources, i.e. traveler accounts, the reports of diplomats (official, non-Ottoman records), drawings and secondary sources, this study provides a broader picture on the manner in which the Ottomans dealt with the outcome of fires in the capital.

The battle rages on every front.... NATO armored divisions have broken out from near-certain defeat in the Soviet-ringed Dortmund/Bielefeld Pocket on the North German Plain. Russian SPETS commandos, dressed in captured American uniforms, have infiltrated NATO lines to sow confusion among Allied troops. Despite being faster than the American planes, Russian MiG-25s and Sukhoi-15s are unable to maintain air superiority over the western Aleutians, due to the upgraded pulse-Doppler look-up, look-down radar on the American F-16 Falcons and the advanced AN/AWG-9 weapon control system on the F-14 Tomcats. With the war turning against them, the Russians are readying a submarine offensive against the American West Coast. There is no telling when they will escalate to even more dangerous tactics...including nuclear weapons. On every front, the war that once seemed impossible blazes its now inevitable path of worldwide destruction. There is no way to know how it will end.

Vampires are mythological or folkloric beings who subsist by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of living creatures, regardless of whether they are undead or a living person. This story begins in Rome....200BC. A Vampire named Moros relates his tale of becoming an immortal and the life of a cursed vampire. He also writes of a clan war which is brewing in the cities of Rome and Athens amongst the other vampires. It is in Rome that Moros finds his true love, an Asian princess named Meeka who was lost in her world in the Jade Palace. Meeka's father has gone mad and was willing to kill everyone for a son; a heir who would find immortality thru his son. Though Meeka found solace with Moros, their life together somehow felt incomplete. This was until a little girl who looked to be no more than five years of age entered their lives. While she did possess the body of an innocent... her mind does not belong to a child. Tammy is in fact an ancient vampire with many secrets. She tells the story of her mother and the creation of "The curse". Her tale includes assassins, an Egyptian princess and even a twist in time.

My name is Jenna Solitaire, and I am the Keeper of the Boards. With the elements of Air and Water at my command, I now go in search for the most dangerous Board I have sought so far—the Board of Fire. From the searing desert of the Middle East, Jenna and Simon travel to the ancient city of Pompeii, following the clues to the hiding place of the Board of Fire—also known as the Board of the Flames. But Peraud is hot on their trail, and is more determined than ever to claim the two Boards the Keeper already possesses. Jenna must also contend with her growing attraction to Simon, who is torn by his desire for her—and his sacred duty to the Church.
