Swallows And Amazons Series
The ''Swallows and Amazons'' series is a series of twelve children's adventure novels by English author Arthur Ransome. Set in the interwar period, the novels involve group adventures by children, mainly in the school holidays and mainly in England. They revolve around outdoor activities, especially sailing. Literary critic Peter Hunt believes it "changed British literature, affected a whole generation's view of holidays, helped to create the national image of the English Lake District and added Arthur Ransome's name to the select list of classic British children's authors." The series remains popular and inspires visits to the Lake District and Norfolk Broads, where many of the books are set. There are several societies for studying and promoting Ransome's work, notably this series. The earliest was the Arthur Ransome Club in Japan. The British-based Arthur Ransome Society has an international membership. Overview The series begins with '' Swallows and Amazons'', publis ...

Amazons (novel)
''Amazons'' is a novel co-written by Don DeLillo, published under the pseudonym Cleo Birdwell in 1980. The subtitle is ''An Intimate Memoir by the First Woman to Play in the National Hockey League''. The book was a collaboration with a former co-worker of DeLillo's, Sue Buck, and represents a commercial, light-hearted effort between his novels ''Running Dog (novel), Running Dog'' and ''The Names (novel), The Names''. While the book is widely known to have been written by DeLillo, and is technically his seventh novel, it has never been reprinted and he has only once officially acknowledged writing it. Additionally, when Viking Press, Viking was compiling an official bibliography for the Viking Critical Library edition of White Noise (novel), ''White Noise'', DeLillo asked the publishers that the book be expunged from the list.

Game Of The Amazons
The Game of the Amazons (in Spanish, ''El Juego de las Amazonas;'' often called Amazons for short) is a two-player abstract strategy game invented in 1988 by Walter Zamkauskas of Argentina.. The game is played by moving pieces and blocking the opponents from squares, and the last player able to move is the winner. It is a member of the territorial game family, a distant relative of Go and chess. The Game of the Amazons is played on a 10x10 chessboard (or an international checkerboard). Some players prefer to use a monochromatic board. The two players are White and Black; each player has four ''amazons'' (not to be confused with the amazon fairy chess piece), which start on the board in the configuration shown at right. A supply of markers (checkers, poker chips, etc.) is also required. Rules White moves first, and the players alternate moves thereafter. Each move consists of two parts. First, one moves one of one's own amazons one or more empty squares in a straight line ( ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Amazon (video Game)
''Amazon'' is an interactive fiction graphic adventure game. The game was published by Telarium in 1984 and written by Michael Crichton. Development Best-selling novelist and director Michael Crichton was a computer hobbyist who taught himself the programming language BASIC. In the early 1980s he, programmer Stephen Warady, and artist David Durand began developing an Apple II graphic adventure game based on Crichton's novel ''Congo (novel), Congo''; he sometimes programmed game sequences which Warady converted into much faster assembly language. They worked on the project for 18 months and, before Crichton found a publisher, Spinnaker Software approached him about adapting his novels for its Telarium division's new "bookware" games. The author revealed the game, amazing Spinnaker, and signed a contract in late 1983. Crichton did not realize, however, that he had already sold all adaptation rights to ''Congo'' to another party. The team revised the game (renamed ''Amazon''), ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Amazons (solitaire)
Amazons is an old patience or card solitaire game which is played with a single deck of playing cards. The game is played with a Piquet pack minus the kings or a standard 52-card pack that has its twos, threes, fours, fives, sixes, and kings removed. This game is named after the female-led tribe, the Amazons, because the queen is the highest card, and all queens are displayed if the game is won.Liflander (2002), p.14. Background Amazons is an old game, recorded as early as 1898 in the 2nd series of ''Dick's Games of Patience'', where it is described as being played with a Piquet pack.Dick (1898), pp. 107–108. Parlett points out that, like Puzzler, it is the short pack equivalent of the compulsive but frustrating game of Auld Lang Syne.Parlett (1979), p. 37. As a 32-card patience, it is not commonly included in English games compendia. Rules First, four cards are dealt in a row as the tableau, called the auxiliary row by Dick and the reserve row by Morehead & Mott-Smith. ...

Amazon (chess)
The amazon, also known as the queen+knight compound or the dragon, is a fairy chess piece that can move like a queen or a knight. It may thus be considered the sum of all orthodox chess pieces other than the king (because it cannot castle and does not know when it is under threat via the check rule) and the pawn (because it cannot practice en passant). The amazon can force checkmate on an enemy king without the help of any other friendly piece. Chess moves in this article use ''A'' as notation for the amazon. Movement The amazon's movement combines those of the queen and the knight. Thus, it may move to any square on the same rank, file, or diagonal without jumping, or it may move to any of the nearest squares not on the same rank, file, or diagonal. History The amazon is one of the most simply described fairy chess pieces and as such has a long history and has gone by many names. It was first used in Turkish Great Chess, a large medieval variant of chess, where it was ca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
