The Circle Trilogy - Nora Roberts

Okay, this is obviously not the intellectually stimulating “oh my God”, kind of book. But if you’re a Nora Roberts fan or even a vampire (come bite me) fan then please, oh please go read the trilogy. Even if you aren’t – take a shot.
The trilogy is absolute fantasy, where the author, well known for her books on magicks, warlords, etc. writes about the inception of the vampyre (as she calls it) and the battle that ensues to conquer evil.
6 individuals, a witch, a warlord, a scholar, a warrior, a slayer and a reformed vampire are brought together by the Goddess Morrigan to conquer the evil that runs rampant in the modern day world and in the fantasy city, Geall.
Time travel, shape shifting and flying dragons complete the story as the 6 embark on a journey which climaxes in Geall and traces the lives of the individuals who have been brought together against their will and the upheavals that they are faced with along the way. The author keeps the stories light, and romance and fantasy run freely along with sword clashing and blood draining.
It’s funny, scary (if you have a vivid imagination that is), and just the right story to curl up to over a weekend. So here’s to Nora!

How concerned are we for our environment??

There is something known as the Feedback Mechanism. Earth receives Sun rays, but reflects it - Ice reflects it best. If there is no ice, sun rays won't be reflected that much. This means, even heat will not be reflected. This in turn melts more ice - inviting more trouble!

Consequences - World has already started losing its fresh water resources (glaciers melting). Fresh water rivers will dry up - converting more and more fresh water into saline water of the seas and oceans. SPECIES EXTINCT - WATER RIOTS

Fertile land losing fertility - already happening in America. FOOD RIOTS

Frequent and turbulent cyclones and tsunamis...

India has already started facing the brunt - Apples in Himachal affected, many islands / deltas in the Sundarbans GONE, the Bengal tiger in danger, Gangotri and Yamnotri in danger, Cyclones in Bangladesh / WB / N-E States, and so on.

The problem is that we all talk about saving electricity (to show-off our intellect). I am sorry to say, in the fad for acquiring more and more and more; In the quest for our development, we absolutely fail to realize that our life style is a major culprit.

We all like cars but we do not understand that they are not only a nuisance on the roads, but also a major major Carbon emitter.

And in all this, we have come long away from our Nature. How long can we survive this way???
