The aging orc shaman Ner'zhul has seized control of the Horde and
reopened the Dark Portal. His brutal warriors once again encroach
upon Azeroth, laying siege to the newly constructed stronghold of
Nethergarde Keep. There, the archmage Khadgar and the Alliance
commander, Turalyon, lead humanity and its elven and dwarven allies
in fighting this new invasion. Even so, disturbing questions arise.
Khadgar learns of orcish incursions farther abroad: small groups of
orcs who seem to pursue a goal other than simple conquest. Worse
yet, black dragons have been sighted as well, and they appear to be
aiding the orcs. To counter Ner'zhul's dark schemes, the Alliance
must now invade the orcs' ruined homeworld of Draenor. Can Khadgar
and his companions stop the nefarious shaman in time to stave off
the destruction of two worlds?
The Second War is over, and Alliance forces have won. They have
destroyed the mystic gate that linked Azeroth to the orcs'
homeworld of Draenor. Many of the orcs trapped on Azeroth have been
rounded up and placed in internment camps. But Small bands of orcs
are spotted in the Eastern Kingdoms, intent on claiming certain
artefacts for some unknown purpose. Worse, some of the orcs belong
to clans never before seen on Azeroth. Somehow the Horde has
managed to re-establish the Dark Portal on Azeroth. King Terenas
orders the Alliance general Turalyon and the archmage Khadgar to
end the orcish threat once and for all. Yet in order to do so, the
pair must lead an expedition to Draenor itself. They and their
allies must go beyond the Dark Portal before all of Azeroth falls
beneath a new and more powerful Horde.
Ecological Form brings together leading voices in
nineteenth-century ecocriticism to suture the lingering divide
between postcolonial and ecocritical approaches. Together, these
essays show how Victorian thinkers used aesthetic form to engage
problems of system, interconnection, and dispossession that remain
our own. The authors reconsider Victorian literary structures in
light of environmental catastrophe; coordinate "natural" questions
with sociopolitical ones; and underscore the category of form as a
means for generating environmental-and therefore
political-knowledge. Moving from the elegy and the industrial novel
to the utopian romance, the scientific treatise, and beyond,
Ecological Form demonstrates how nineteenth-century thinkers
conceptualized the circuits of extraction and violence linking
Britain to its global network. Yet the book's most pressing
argument is that this past thought can be a resource for
reimagining the present.

This book brings forth debates on the production and eradication of
poverty from experiences in the global South. It collects a set of
innovative articles concentrating on the way in which poverty, as a
social process, has been tackled by popular movements and the
governments of various states across the globe. Providing new
insights into the limitations of traditional strategies to confront
poverty, it highlights how social organizations are working to
transform the livelihoods of people through bottom-up struggle and
more participatory approaches rather than passively waiting for
top-down solutions.
