In this sequel to "Shard of the Ancient", one year has passed since
the events of Operation Ragnarok. The Earth is slowly recovering
from its crippling liberation, and Loki finds himself a man of
controversy. Deciding he has no place among those in the aftermath,
he follows the Cylvus to their new home. He finds himself a
stranger in a strange land, where humans are the minority and
science is shunned. A place where the fantastic is commonplace, and
the stuff of legends happens every day. Once there, he discovers
more than anyone expected, being drawn into a game of gods that
holds a world at risk, and will leave him a different man than he's
ever been.
During the "fin-de-siecle," stories about hysterical women filled
the air of Paris and the novels which emerged during this era
conveyed this hysteria and openly portrayed the symptoms of the
women being treated at the Salpetiere. This book examines the
emergence of hysterical discourse and its influence on women's
writing, specifically focusing on the presentation of female
sexuality in three different narratives."

The rapid development and the growing penetration of information
and communication technologies (ICT) provide tremendous
opportunities for a wide and cost effective application of the
ideas of participative democracy and public participation in
government decision and policy making. ICT can drive dramatic
transformations in the quantity and quality of communication and
interaction of government organizations with citizens, revitalizing
and strengthening the modern representative democracy which
currently faces big problems of reduced citizens' trust and
involvement. This book deals with the application of these
e-participation ideas in the special and 'difficult', and at the
same time highly interesting, national context of Southern Europe
and the Balkans. The first chapter provides an overview of
e-participation concepts and practices whilst the following
chapters analyse pilot applications of e-participation concepts in
eight different Southern European and Balkan countries (Spain,
France, Italy, Slovenia, Serbia, Albania, Greece, Yugoslav Republic
of Macedonia (FYROM)). They cover both the 'classical'
e-participation paradigm, based on official e-participation spaces
created, operated and controlled by government organizations as
well as emerging new e-participation paradigms including
e-participation based on web 2.0 social media, and
'scientific-level' e-participation, based on opening government
data to the scientific community. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the Journal of Balkan and Near
Eastern Studies.
