Siblings, Charlotte and Peter, have it all loving parents and a happy home until Their fragile world comes to a shrieking halt when their lives become derailed by a world war they have no business being in the path of. They find themselves in the care of a Catholic orphanage that sends them spiraling in opposite directions and drives Charlotte to the brink of emotional instability and a questionable lifestyle. Separated from each other, they have done what they must to survive. Nearly twenty years later a mystery surrounds Peter with the sudden death of the Pope. Was it suicide or was something more sinister? Could the Pope have sealed his own fate by manipulating those within his power, leaving himself vulnerable to a personal vendetta? A nun, the mob, anyone was suspect in this bizarre event that put the Catholic Church under the microscope of the worlds cynical eye. Peters dream had always been to become the youngest pope in history, but did this dream go too far? As Peter is pulled into the fray he maintains he is not involved in any wrongdoing. Charlotte has drifted as far from spirituality and the church possible, surrounding herself with affluent men and the finer things in life yet, she is unfulfilled and longs for the brother she left behind so many years ago. Will their winding roads ever cross as Charlotte struggles to keep her past from destroying her sanity and her future?

The Eagle's Vengeance: Empire VI

By: Anthony Riches

A master of the genre' The Times The Tungrian auxiliary cohorts return to Hadrian's Wall after their successful Dacian campaign, only to find Britannia in chaos. The legions are overstretched, struggling to man the forts of the northern frontier in the face of increasing barbarian resistance. The Tungrians are the only soldiers who can be sent into the northern wastes, far beyond the long abandoned wall built by Antoninus, where a lost symbol of imperial power of the Sixth Victorious Legion is reputed to await them. Protected by an impassable swamp and hidden in a fortress atop a high mountain, the eagle of the Sixth legion must be recovered if the legion is to survive. Marcus and his men must penetrate the heart of the enemy's strength, ghosting through a deadly wilderness patrolled by vicious huntresses before breaching the walls of the Fang, an all-but-impregnable fort, if they are to rescue the legion's venerated standard. If successful their escape will be twice as perilous, with the might of a barbarian tribe at their heels.

The Empire Collection Volume II

The Leopard Sword, The Wolf's Gold, The Eagle's Vengeance

By: Anthony Riches

The EMPIRE sequence continues with books IV-VI in Anthony Riches' bestselling series, available in a page-turning collection, including The Leopard Sword, The Wolf's Gold and The Eagle's Vengeance. The Leopard Sword The Roman agents who nearly captured Marcus Aquila have been defeated by his friends. But to protect those friends from the wrath of the emperor, he must leave the province which has given him shelter. As centurion of the second Tungrians, he leads his men from Hadrian's Wall to the Tungrians' original home. There he finds a different world from the turbulent British frontier - but one with its own dangers. A bandit chieftain is robbing with impunity. And now he threatens to destabilize the whole northern frontier of the empire. The Wolf's Gold Marcus Aquila and the Tungrians have been sent to Dacia with the mission to safeguard a major source of imperial power. The mines contain enough gold to pave the road to Rome. They would make a mighty prize for the Sarmatae tribesmen who threaten the province, and the outnumbered auxiliaries are entrusted with their safety in the face of an invasion. The Tungrians will have to fight to the death to save the honour of the empire - and themselves. The Eagle's Vengeance The Tungrians return to Hadrian's Wall to find chaos, with the legions overstretched, struggling to man the northern frontier. The Tungrians are sent into the northern wastes, where a lost symbol of imperial power of the Sixth Legion awaits them. Protected by an impassable swamp, the eagle of the Sixth legion must be recovered if the legion is to survive.

Henricus Glareanus’s (1488-1563) Chronologia of the Ancient World

A Facsimile Edition of a Heavily Annotated Copy Held in Princeton University Library

By: Anthony Grafton,Urs Leu

The humanists of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries took a passionate interest in Livy’s History of Rome. No one studied the text more intensively than the Swiss scholar Henricus Glareanus, who not only held lectures on different Roman historians at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau, but also drew up chronological tables for ancient history, which were printed several times in Basle, sometimes together with Livy’s History. Glareanus annotated his personal copy of the chronological tables and invited his students to copy his marginal notes into their own copies of the book. Three of these copies survived, and give new insight into Glareanus’s practices as a scholar and teacher. The notes they contain—and the way in which Glareanus used them as a teacher—are distinctive, and neither has had much attention in the past from historians of reading. This volume presents facsimile reproductions of the tables from one of the surviving copies, now kept in Princeton University Library. The high-quality reproductions include transcriptions of the handwritten notes, unlocking Glareanus’s teachings for a new generation of students and researchers.

The Roman Government of Britain is a completely rewritten version of Professor Birley's Fasti of Roman Britain (1981), with biographical entries for all higher officials from AD 43 to 409. Several new governors, legionary legates, tribunes, procurators, and fleet prefects are included, and the entries for those previously known revised; and in this edition translations of all sources have been added. Introductory sections deal with career-structures in the principate and the changed system of the late empire. Evidence for imperial visits is also quoted and discussed. The work provides a full conspectus of all the literary, epigraphic, and numismatic sources for the history of Roman rule in Britain.

Postcolonial Tourism

Literature, Culture, and Environment

By: Anthony Carrigan

Carrigan here examines the aesthetic portrayal of tourism in postcolonial literatures. Looking at the cultural and ecological effects of mass tourism development in states that are still grappling with the legacies of 'western' colonialism, he argues that postcolonial writers provide blueprints toward sustainable tourism futures.

Nonlinear Systems Of Partial Differential Equations: Applications To Life And Physical Sciences

By: Anthony W Leung

The book presents the theory of diffusion-reaction equations starting from the Volterra-Lotka systems developed in the eighties for Dirichlet boundary conditions. It uses the analysis of applicable systems of partial differential equations as a starting point for studying upper-lower solutions, bifurcation, degree theory and other nonlinear methods. It also illustrates the use of semigroup, stability theorems and W2ptheory. Introductory explanations are included in the appendices for non-expert readers.The first chapter covers a wide range of steady-state and stability results involving prey-predator, competing and cooperating species under strong or weak interactions. Many diagrams are included to easily understand the description of the range of parameters for coexistence. The book provides a comprehensive presentation of topics developed by numerous researchers. Large complex systems are introduced for modern research in ecology, medicine and engineering.Chapter 3 combines the theories of earlier chapters with the optimal control of systems involving resource management and fission reactors. This is the first book to present such topics at research level. Chapter 4 considers persistence, cross-diffusion, and boundary induced blow-up, etc. The book also covers traveling or systems of waves, coupled Navier-Stokes and Maxwell systems, and fluid equations of plasma display. These should be of interest to life and physical scientists.

Understanding Contemporary Brazil

Understanding Contemporary Brazil

By: Jeff Garmany,Anthony W. Pereira

Brazil has famously been called a country of contradictions. It is a place where narratives of "racial democracy" exist in the face of stark inequalities, and where the natural environment is celebrated as a point of national pride, but at the same time is exploited at alarming rates. To people on the outside looking in, these contradictions seem hard to explain. Understanding Contemporary Brazil tackles these problems head-on, providing the perfect critical introduction to Brazil's ongoing social, political, economic, and cultural complexities. Key topics include: • National identity and political structure. • Economic development, environmental contexts, and social policy. • Urban issues and public security. • Debates over culture, race, gender, and spirituality. • Social inequality, protest, and social movements. • Foreign diplomacy and international engagement. By considering more broadly the historical, political economic, and socio-cultural roots of Brazil’s internal dynamics, this interdisciplinary book equips readers with the contextual understanding and critical insight necessary to explore this fascinating country. Written by renowned authors at one of the world's most important centers for the study of Brazil, Understanding Contemporary Brazil is ideal for university students and researchers, yet also accessible to any reader looking to learn more about one of the world's largest and most significant countries.

Financial Institutions Management

By: Anthony Saunders,Hugh Alun Lloyd Thomas

This text focuses on the risks faced by managers of financial institutions and the methods and markets through which these risks are managed. The context is the Canadian financial services industry. The text begins with thumbnail sketches of the industry, its member companies, their structures and the regulatory environment. It looks not only at banks but also at insurance companies, trust companies, credit unions, investment banks and finance companies, providing a holistic view of the challenges of liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit and other risks in the global environment.This highly regarded text continues to take the same innovative approach as the first edition, focusing on managing return and risk. The book's central theme is that the risks faced by financial institution managers, and the methods and markets through which these risks are managed, are essentially the same, whether the institution is a commercial bank, an investment bank, a credit union, an insurance company or a finance company. A second theme that emerges in this edition is that the risks booked by the financial institution use risk capital and generate an expected return that should justify that use. The authors explain the latest techniques of risk measurement against the backdrop of the convergence of worldwide securities, investment, credit and insurance industries.
