About this book

"AVRO -- The History of an Aircraft Company. The story os A. V. Roe & Company Limited (Avro) started within a short time of man's conquest of the air when very few believed in the potential of the flying machine. It was in 1906 when Alliott Verdon Roe patented a design for a mechanically driven aeroplane and his biplane was the first heavier-than-air machine to leave the ground in Britain. Although his excursions were only classed as 'hops,' Roe continued with his quest to fly and made enormous strides in the science of aviation before going on to form the company which bore his name in 1910. The Avro name remained in the forefront of aeronautical progress until it disappeared in 1963 after being absorbed into Hawker Siddeley Aviation. Over 35,000 aeroplanes wer produced bearing the name Avro and the fine reputation of the company was renowned throughout the world...From small beginnings A. V. Roe & Company Limited became one of the world's largest and most respected aircraft manufacturers. This is the story." --Inside front book cover.

With a major geographical foothold in the state of Wei now under its control, Qin sets its sights eastward toward the remaining warring states.

Mushishi

Mushi: the most basic forms of life in the world. They exist without any goals or purposes aside from simply "being." They are beyond the shackles of the words good and evil. Mushi can exist in countless forms and are capable of mimicking things from the natural world such as plants, diseases, and even phenomena like rainbows. This is, however, just a vague definition of these entities that inhabit the vibrant world, as to even call them a form of life would be an oversimplification. Detailed information on mushi is scarce because the majority of humans are unaware of their existence. So what are mushi and why do they exist? This is the question that a Mushishi, Ginko, ponders constantly. Mushishi are those who research mushi in hopes of understanding their place in the world's hierarchy of life. Ginko relentlessly chases rumors of occurrences that could be tied to mushi, all for the sake of finding an answer. It could, after all, lead to the meaning of life itself. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

In recognition of her talent, Maomao is promoted to lady-in-waiting for the emperor's favorite concubine, Gyokuyou.
