Nomad / by Mather, Matthew,1969-(CARDINAL)802424;
"Something is coming from deep space. Big enough to destroy the entire solar system. And it's heading straight for Earth. That's what Dr. Ben Rollins, head of Harvard's exoplanet research team, is told after being dragged out of bed in the middle of the night. His first instinct is to call his daughter, Jessica, who's vacationing in Italy with his wife: Something is coming, he tells them, a hundred times the mass of the sun. We can't see it, we don't know what it is, but it's there. They're calling it the Nomad and it's coming fast. In just months, the Earth may be destroyed.

"Explore the Five Kingdoms alongside newly registered Nomad, Lance, as he journeys across sea and sky to find his lost brother! Lance never wanted to be a Nomad, but on his 19th birthday he gives up his homeland in the Sea Kingdom and starts his journey to find his missing brother--his first destination: the Sky Kingdom. However, things take an unexpected turn when he meets the mysterious Satra and the magical cat Saber who imbues Lance with supernatural powers. When the two decide to join Lance, it ignites a series of misunderstandings that will chase them throughout the kingdoms, branding Lance as a kidnapper, with bounty hunters competing for their capture. The trio will face unexpected foes, mysterious new creatures, and their own deep secrets as they band together on a quest to find Lance's missing brother and, perhaps, company to call home." --

Nomads : the wanderers who shaped our world / by Sattin, Anthony,author.(CARDINAL)744724; Franquet, Sylvie,illustrator.(CARDINAL)636472;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 329-339) and index.Map 1: The Balancing Act: Eurasia to 453 CE -- Map 2: The Imperial Act: From the Rise of the Arabs to the Fall of the Mongols -- In the Zagros Mountains, Iran -- Part 1. The Balancing Act -- Part 2. The Imperial Act -- Part 3. The Act of Recovery."The remarkable story of how nomads have fostered and refreshed civilization throughout our history. Moving across millennia, Nomads explores the transformative and often bloody relationship between settled and mobile societies. Often overlooked in history, the story of the umbilical connections between these two very different ways of living presents a radical new view of human civilization. From the Neolithic revolution to the twenty-first century via the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the great nomadic empires of the Arabs and Mongols, the Mughals and the development of the Silk Road, nomads have been a perpetual counterbalance to the empires created by the power of human cities. Exploring the evolutionary biology and psychology of restlessness that makes us human, Anthony Sattin's sweeping history charts the power of nomadism from before the Bible to its decline in the present day. Connecting us to mythology and the records of antiquity, Nomads explains why we leave home, and why we like to return again. This is the history of civilization as told through its outsiders"--
