<p><strong>When gods fall… humanity rises.</strong></p> <p>In the dystopian year 2095, Kenzie Okuda flees the stifling theocracy of the United Republic of America, seeking refuge in the United States where magic is not condemned but embraced as a scientific marvel. As a transman, Kenzie hopes for acceptance and access to the freedom he deserves. Little does he know that this magical haven is about to face its darkest hour.</p> <p>A mysterious sorcerer unleashes a malevolent force akin to Satan upon the enchanted halls of the magic university, sending shockwaves through the campus. Kenzie, alongside a diverse group of friends, discovers that their individual magical talents may hold the key to stopping the demonic onslaught. However, the elusive caster remains hidden, casting a shadow of despair over their efforts.</p> <p>Amidst the chaos, Reverend John Paul Smith, Jr., the supreme religious ruler of the URA, arrives, exploiting the chaos to further his own agenda. He proclaims the attack as divine retribution, aiming to impose a tyrannical regime on the U.S. and snuff out the burgeoning magical community.</p> <p>As Kenzie and his friends form a student taskforce to uncover the truth, they unearth hidden secrets that plunge them into a world darker than they could have ever imagined. Simultaneously, Rev. Smith seeks to fan the flames of a holy revolution, threatening to turn the U.S. into a mirror image of the oppressive URA.</p> <p>To thwart the impending catastrophe, Kenzie and his friends must unveil the true extent of their powers and forge an unbreakable alliance. Only by facing the shadows within themselves can they hope to confront the external forces that threaten to plunge both their magical haven and newfound freedom into eternal darkness. The battle for liberation, identity, and the very essence of magic itself unfolds in this gripping tale of rebellion and self-discovery.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Slayers, Saviors, Servants and Sex An Expos? of Kingdom Fungi【電子書籍】[ David Moore ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Slayers, Saviors, Servants and Sex An Expos? of Kingdom Fungi【電子書籍】[ David Moore ]

<p>This is a book for the general reader about the world of fungi. We should know more about fungi. They have killed us, saved us and served us since before written records began. We have been making bread, brewing ale, and fermenting wine for millennia. Our crops have been at the mercy of fungal diseases since we became farmers, and they still are. Fungal diseases have caused large demographic changes - from the great plague of 'St. Anthony's Fire' of the Middle Ages (caused by a fungal toxin) to the Irish mass migration to the Americas during the famine (caused by a fungal disease of the potato crop).<br /> We can also thank fungi for antibiotics, but do we fully appreciate the revolution in life style (and life expectancy) that these taken-for-granted treatments permit? One of the first people to receive penicillin treatment in England in the 1940s was a policeman in Oxford. He died of septicemia when the supplies of the antibiotic ran out after he had been scratched by a rose thorn.<br /> Fungi enabled plants (by a mutualistic combination that persists today) to invade the land during the evolution of life on Earth. Higher fungi are almost unique in their ability to decay the chemical components of timber. Without the wood-rotting fungi we would be up to our eyes in dead trees. Fungi give us the opportunity of treating plant diseases and killing specific weeds, as well as being very useful for cleaning up polluted environments and for producing chemicals. In short, this book will show you why it is wise to look again at fungi and appreciate these extraordinary organisms for what they are: a vital component of our lives and of the Earth's ecosystem.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
