Bast spent the last thousand years in the darkness. Now that she is out, she wants to find her priests and start over with her life. She wants to avenge herself and her priests. Bast reaches out to her family to see if they will help her and her priests. Set made up lies about her and had her banished into the darkness—not a good place for a sun goddess. But that was where she spent a thousand years planning her revenge. She knows, with the help of her family and her priests, she can and will win the war to save humanity from Set’s evil intentions if her family comes through and she gets through all that will be thrown her way. She knows where one of her priests is and when she can convince him to help her with her quest to avenge themselves. When they find each other and fight for the sake of humanity, will they come out on top? The help for humanity will come, but how swiftly? You never know. No matter what, finding her priests will cure the heartache she has had for a millennium. They are all important to her, more of a family than her own family. The ability to protect them is all she wants to do. Keep them safe from Set and his evilness. She just wants to bring peace to the world. A peace that the world has never known. One where everyone has a voice and everyone can be happy. A place where you can have a family and a dream. Will the dream come true? Only if you can believe in yourself and fight for your voice to be heard. Bring your family back to being in a place where you can keep them and the rest of humanity safe from the heartache and sadness of loss.

Bast and Other Plant Fibres, a title in Woodhead Publishing's series on fibres published in association with The Textile Institute, UK, is the first book in over 50 years to cover the most interesting plant fibres and those with high annual production. Bast fibres have many textile applications, with natural fibre composites being the fastest growing due to the combination of their relatively low cost and excellent technical characteristics.Following the editor's introductory chapter, which includes a comprehensive set of tables comparing the physical and chemical characteristics of the fibres, Chapter 2 discusses jute while Chapters 3 and 4 cover flax and hemp. Subsequent chapters are devoted to ramie, sisal, coir and abaca. Chapter 9 brings together information on minor fibres that may deserve greater interest on the part of international markets, while Chapter 10 is dedicated to the use of bast and leaf fibres in composites. Information is included on production and processing, physical and chemical properties, and on economic, environmental, and health and safety considerations.This book is an essential reference to academics and researchers in agriculture and horticulture as well as those working in textiles, apparel and industrial design, and textile testing and forensic science laboratories. It will also be invaluable to those working in government departments such as agriculture or trade and industry. - Essential discussion on chemical and physical properties of individual natural fibres - Looks at environmental advantages of bast fibres over synthetic fibres - First book of its kind in over 50 years
