Book excerpt: Drawing upon his deep knowledge of the Tibetan culture and people, Goldstein takes us through the history of Tibet, concentrating on the political and cultural negotiations over the status of Tibet from the turn of the century to the present. He describes the role of Tibet in Chinese politics, the feeble and conflicting responses of foreign governments, overtures and rebuffs on both sides, and the nationalistic emotions that are inextricably entwined in the political debate. Ultimately, he presents a plan for a reasoned compromise, identifying key aspects of the conflict and appealing to the United States to play an active diplomatic role.

Book excerpt: An ancient monster has awakened from a deep slumber beneath Deer Falls. It is hungry and humans are on the menu. Will the monster drive the small Colorado town to extinction? Enduring aftershocks are the least of Evan Duggan's worries after an earthquake rocks Deer Falls. When he is called in to examine partially devoured remains of a local teacher, Evan uncovers evidence of a new reptilian species. This creature is unlike anything else he has encountered as a wildlife biologist. It is massive, terrifying, and lethal. Marie Duggan, his wife, is a podcaster who uncovers once-forgotten legends related to the mysterious creature. What she learns is a nightmare come to life. The creature is a vehicle of vengeance and a relentless killer. As dead bodies pile up and disappearances increase around town, Evan and Marie must protect themselves and their son Casey while ending the threat facing Deer Falls. Can they destroy the monster before it devours everyone in its path? Snow Dragon is a chilling prequel to the popular horror novel Pandora Reborn. If you like terrifying monsters, ancient folklore, and small town horror, you'll devour this latest frightening tale from John Coon.
