The Struggle for Law in the Oceans argues that by following a misleading
isolationist narrative and not acceding to the United Nations Convention on
the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the United States has harmed and continues to
harm its interests. The book makes a compelling case for acceding to UNCLOS at
the earliest opportunity.

Jen jedna věc je děsivější, než zabít obrovského, oheň dštícího draka... zabít nesprávného obrovského, oheň dštícího draka.
Sir Terry ví, že jako neohrožený (avšak typicky středostavovský) rytíř nemá nejmenší šanci získat ruku překrásné princezny Glorie... jedině že by zabil draka, který se usadil v nejzazším koutě království, a pak si ji nárokoval jako svou odměnu.
Jenomže pohádkoví princové se obvykle nemusejí potýkat se změnami hranic katastrů. Když Terry draka zabije, zjistí, že zbavil škůdce sousední království. Ruku princezny samozřejmě získal i tak. Bohužel, tahle se honosí přezdívkou „Trhlá Jana", kterou si vysloužila svým zvykem hovořit s mrtvými zvířaty.
Naštěstí pro Terryho je mu princezna Glorie ochotná dát druhou šanci a zařídí, aby ji mohl osvobodit z rukou únosce. Zachránit dámu, která není tak docela v nesnázích, by mělo být vcelku snadné, jenomže události naberou nečekaný a krajně nebezpečný obrat. Terry musí Glorii zachraňovat doopravdy, a to už není legrace. Protože každý ví, že skončit s nesprávnou dívčinou na krku je vskutku osud horší než draci...
Místo děje, Damask: Království, které se nedá vyplenit, ať se snažíte jak chcete. Jenomže teď, když je král mrtev, mají jeho bratři přesně tohle v úmyslu. Jediné, co k tomu potřebují, je aby na trůn usedl špatný král. Obyvatelstvo se začne bouřit, král požádá sousední království o intervenci za účelem nastolení pořádku a než se kdo naděje, u moci budou oni...

Karolína má plné právo cítit se podvedená. Když se jí s vynaložením značného úsilí podařilo zachránit prince zakletého v žábu, zjistila, že není ani pohledný, natož krásný. A bohatství také neoplývá. Tak to být nemělo a někdo za to zaplatí – například Emílie, jediná dcera a dědička čarodějnice, která to všechno spískala a pak si klidně umřela. A jako by situace nebyla už tak dost složitá, ještě ji zkomplikuje Rapunzela (to je ta s nemožně nádhernými vlasy), kterou princ zachrání z čarodějnické věže a Rumplestilskin, skřet slibující počestným pannám, že je naučí spřádat zlato a přitom jim dělá nemravné návrhy.
Království Deserae je v nejstrašnějším nebezpečí ze všech strašných nebezpečí. Drahocenný magický talisman říše - Prastarý artefakt model sedm - padl do rukou tyranského zloducha lorda Voltemetera (Toho, kterého musíme jmenovat).
Jen jediný muž ho může zastavit (a získat tak zároveň ruku přírodou velice štědře obdařené princezny Deserae). Bohužel, nemá v tom směru vůbec žádné zkušenosti. Princ Kevin Timberline je odhodlán proniknout do Pevnosti zmaru (možná přes obchod s upomínkovými předměty?), odolat svádění v kůži oděné dominy s bičem (což zase nemusí být tak zlé) a postavit se armádě ničeho se neštítících hrdlořezů (tohle je zlé) vyzbrojen pouze čistým srdcem, diskutabilní odvahou - a hlavně výtiskem Rukověti praktického hrdinství...

V Illyrii jsou pořád nějaké problémy - draci, které je třeba zabít, černokněžníci a jiní zlosyni, které je třeba porazit a krásné princezny, které neustále potřebují, aby je někdo zachraňoval před osudem horším než smrt. Pro Neodolatelného korunního prince a profesionálního hrdinu, je zabíjení a zachraňování práce na plný úvazek. A odměnou je mu mnohdy jen letmá pusa nebo přátelské poklepání po rameni. Není tedy divu, že by s tím občas nejraději praštil: třeba když musí v jediném případu čelit zlé čarodějce, nástrahám zakletého hradu, zuřivému drakovi a hned třem půvabným dámám v nesnázích, z nichž každá s ním má vlastní plány a žádné z nich se nedá věřit, ani co by se na špičku meče vešlo...
Portrait of Elmbury, Brensham Village, and The Blue Field are properly regarded as a trilogy. Written betwen 1945 and 1948, they all deal with the same part of England—the old town of Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire and its surrounding villages—at a time of deliberate political change, and were hailed immediately as authentic pictures of English small-town rural life. The trilogy also contains the germs of what have become burning issues: pollution, conservation, education, and unemployment.
"I am glad that Mr Moore has written this book. His story of the life of this young Welsh poet, who, passing through great tribulation, found himself at last, is as enthralling as any novel. It is the epic of a sensitive and talented spirit striving against an unkind world. It is the story of the battle of poetry against poverty and heartbreak, and the winning through of an obscure youth to triumph and renown. It is an understanding and readable book, one which carries the reader on, and is supplememted by some important and revealing letters." -- David Lloyd George
