“As someone who has suffered for decades with an old whip lash injury, I finally have the tools needed to control the pain and repair the damage. Some of these tools are basic, but were never mentioned by the many doctors I have seen over the years. Betsy Oldenburg, a nationally certified therapeutic massage/bodywork therapist with over 30 years of experience shared those tools and techniques with me when I was referred to Integrative Therapies. Because I had such a positive experience, I arranged a Lunch and Learn (Feel and Look Great Despite your Computer) for my co-workers. We had approximately 30 in attendance ranging in age from 20’s to 60’s. Everyone in the room benefited from Betsy’s expertise and warm, approachable style. Several volunteers were lucky enough to experience hands-on treatment/techniques. I would recommend Betsy’s presentation to any organization that has employees who suffer from neck and back pain. It is amazing how one hour with the right person can both educate and motivate employees toward a healthier work style”. Jane Milanese

The period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms (907-960) has long been treated as an anomaly in the history of China, an age of great disunity between the empires of the Tang and the Song dynasties. Breaking with previous scholarship on China's middle period, this edited volume presents individual studies that focus on the art, culture, and politics of the interregnum, challenging underlying assumptions about the unitary nature of dynastic culture and its value as a category of historical analysis. It understands these decades as a time of important transition in which the incipient cultural shifts of the mature Tang dynasty turned into the foundations of Song society. Consequently it highlights the complex narrative processes that gave birth to Song culture.

Daylight has been locked away for the crime of being too Human. He, along with a batch of other genetically engineered military or GEMs, have been sentenced to the depths of outer space in a prison at the heart of an abandoned mining facility inside a comet. Years later after their rebellion has been forgotten, he holds on to two truths, the sun took away the world and he would do anything to escape. Enter Soren, an alien hybrid whose accidental transfer to their icy prison gives Daylight and his closest fellow prisoners an opportunity to escape. So, Daylight orchestrates a break for the stars, knowing they may all die, but preferring a death they choose over one chosen for them. These lost prisoners embrace the single lesson that Humans seem to forget time and time again, that even dying stars can still ignite revolutions.
