Winner of the 2025 Nautilus Award For Small Press Fiction!
From multiple award-winning novelist, John Blossom comes this volcanic tale of hope and magical realism. Thirteen-year-old Mahina Moemoea lives on a ranch in Hawaii and wants more out of life than just feeling the earth's energy in the soil. For Tutu, her grandmother, communing with the garden is enough, but that’s because she doesn’t experience Mahina’s amazing flying dreams. When Tutu tells Mahina that the family’s special powers may have killed her mom and dad, she tries to obey Tutu's strict command to ignore them, until her mom’s spirit entices her on a perilous underground path to fulfill the family's destiny of aloha to humanity.
“To make the extraordinary ordinary, so that the ordinary has a chance to feel extraordinary again." Follow the adventures of Mahina in this magical and inspiring tale as she discovers a living cavern on her property that holds the most uplifting power yet to stop climate change.
A literary novel of generational conflict and hope and a must-read for anyone who believes that love and higher consciousness can overcome fear and greed. Sure to take its place as one of the most poignant young adult novels ever written on the subject of humanity and nature, reading Mahina Rises is like remembering the best dream you've ever had and realizing it's there for you whenever you need it.

Hardback. Etat : Good. Even dedicated history buffs may not know the exciting-and disturbing--story of German spy activity in the U.S. before our nation's entry into the two World Wars. Mein Spy gives a firsthand documentation of German espionage and sabotage in the U.S. in the lead-ups to both World War I and World War II. These activities, some only plotted, some carried out, defeated their own purpose. Instead of keeping America from intervening on behalf of the Allies, German disinformation and sabotage inflamed an American public opinion that up to that point had mostly been neutral. Both of these books were first published before the U.S. entered the World Wars. The German Spy in America, published in 1917 (with a foreword by Theodore Roosevelt), details German attempts at sabotage and infiltration in the first two and a half years of World War I, including attempts to provoke Mexico to war against the United States, provisions for the invasion of Canada, and the sinking of the liner Lusitania in 1915, which cost the lives of 113 American citizens and shifted U.S. opinion decisively against Germany. John L. Spivak's Secret Armies: The New Technique of Nazi Warfare, was first published in February 1939, shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War. The book outlines the activities of Nazi agents in the United States, Mexico, and Central America in the late 1930s. During the past five years, Spivak writes, I have observed some of them, watching the original, crudely organized and directed propaganda machine develop, grow and leave an influence far wider than most people seem to realize. First aimed at domestic propaganda, these activities extended to probing U.S. military secrets and attempting to damage U.S. relations to its neighbors to the south. The methods described here--letters, telegrams, personal conversations--may seem crude in the light of today's advanced technologies. But these two compelling volumes show that if the technology has changed, the basic motives and principles remain the same--and cannot afford to be ignored. Far from being a historical curiosity, Mein Spy provides invaluable and relevant insights that today's informed citizens should know and understand. N° de réf. du vendeur CIN0999615637G
