Paperback. The Temporal Witnesses Volume 7: Threshold of Change Their teacher has forgotten who they are. The journey happens anyway. Dr. Sarah Crow Feather held a temporal connection open long enough to bring Cuchu Ramirez and Matias Kim home from medieval Great Zimbabwe, and it cost her fifteen years of memory. She does not recognise them. She does not remember the network she spent those years holding together. And in six days the Patrimony Foundation 2.0 launches Project Reset, which will rewrite what a generation is allowed to know about the human past. One journey is still on the schedule she left behind. Three civilizations, forty-eight hours, and nobody to anchor them. Three Civilizations. Forty-Eight Hours. No Teacher. MACHU PICCHU, PERU: A royal estate on a ridge in the cloud forest, wet all day. Astronomers keep a record in knotted cord longer than anyone alive to read it, and argue their way to next year's planting schedule while a condor's shadow crosses the quipu. The labour the empire is owed is owed. What they argue about is the schedule. MESA VERDE, COLORADO: Rooms stacked three storeys under a sandstone alcove, built so that everyone can hear everyone. Three years of light rains have emptied the reserves, and the water council will take as long as it takes, because a decision reached faster collapses faster. ANGKOR, CAMBODIA: Reservoirs, channels and gates moving water to three quarters of a million people. The king's name is cut into the great reservoir and his officials count what comes out of it, and the gates are opened by an exhausted coordinator who is late to every meeting and who keeps forty-seven districts talking to each other. They come back forty-eight minutes later to a warehouse lit by emergency lamps. Project Reset launched while they were gone, the raid comes at dawn, and the three gifts they were given have faded out of their pockets on the way home. What comes home is what they saw, and the people they can tell. Perfect for fans of: Ursula K. Le Guin's ethical complexity, Kim Stanley Robinson's environmental vision, and anyone who wants to know what a working city built out of water and agreement actually looked like. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Their teacher has forgotten who they are. The journey happens anyway.
Dr. Sarah Crow Feather held a temporal connection open long enough to bring Cuchu Ramirez and Matias Kim home from medieval Great Zimbabwe, and it cost her fifteen years of memory. She does not recognise them. She does not remember the network she spent those years holding together. And in six days the Patrimony Foundation 2.0 launches Project Reset, which will rewrite what a generation is allowed to know about the human past.
One journey is still on the schedule she left behind. Three civilizations, forty-eight hours, and nobody to anchor them.
Three Civilizations. Forty-Eight Hours. No Teacher.
MACHU PICCHU, PERU: A royal estate on a ridge in the cloud forest, wet all day. Astronomers keep a record in knotted cord longer than anyone alive to read it, and argue their way to next year’s planting schedule while a condor’s shadow crosses the quipu. The labour the empire is owed is owed. What they argue about is the schedule.
MESA VERDE, COLORADO: Rooms stacked three storeys under a sandstone alcove, built so that everyone can hear everyone. Three years of light rains have emptied the reserves, and the water council will take as long as it takes, because a decision reached faster collapses faster.
ANGKOR, CAMBODIA: Reservoirs, channels and gates moving water to three quarters of a million people. The king’s name is cut into the great reservoir and his officials count what comes out of it, and the gates are opened by an exhausted coordinator who is late to every meeting and who keeps forty-seven districts talking to each other.
They come back forty-eight minutes later to a warehouse lit by emergency lamps. Project Reset launched while they were gone, the raid comes at dawn, and the three gifts they were given have faded out of their pockets on the way home.
What comes home is what they saw, and the people they can tell.
Perfect for fans of: Ursula K. Le Guin’s ethical complexity, Kim Stanley Robinson’s environmental vision, and anyone who wants to know what a working city built out of water and agreement actually looked like.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
