The Stealthy Pimpernel has departed. The Viral remains. Bernard Hayes quotes from 2018 Memoir. Prediction of the The Radcliffe Lad. 2019. Huff and Puff We look forward with trepidation to a PM who will Huff, and he will Puff, and he will blow your house down, i.e., the Houses of Parliament for his own ends. Beware the Big Bad Wolf in bluff sheep's clothing who has a gait like Napoleon, nose like Caesar and close-set eyes. Would Caesar get into bed with Brutus? BJ has done exactly that with his cat-weasel colleague. We are one year on, and he has certainly not made a liar, of me, if anything demonstrating his lack of leadership qualities and fuzzy thinking to a tee.
One of Bernard Shaw’s early plays of social protest, Mrs Warren’s Profession places the protagonist’s decision to become a prostitute in the context of the appalling conditions for working class women in Victorian England. Faced with ill health, poverty, and marital servitude on the one hand, and opportunities for financial independence, dignity, and self-worth on the other, Kitty Warren follows her sister into a successful career in prostitution. Shaw’s fierce social criticism in this play is driven not by conventional morality, but by anger at the hypocrisy that allows society to condemn prostitution while condoning the discrimination against women that makes prostitution inevitable. This Broadview edition includes a comprehensive historical and critical introduction; extracts from Shaw’s prefaces to the play; Shaw’s expurgations of the text; early reviews of the play in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain; and contemporary contextual documents on prostitution, incest, censorship, women’s education, and the “New Woman.”
This astounding novel fully deserves to be called a saga. It begins a thousand years ago in the time of the Vikings in Newfoundland. It is crammed with incidents of war and peace, with fights to the death and long nights of lovemaking, and with accounts of the rise of local clan chiefs and the silent fall of great distant empires. Out of the mists of the past it sweeps forward eight hundred years, to the lonely death of the last of the Beothuk. The Beothuk, of course, were the original native people of Newfoundland, and thus the first North American natives encountered by European sailors. Noticing the red ochre they used as protection against mosquitoes, the sailors called them "Red-skins," a name that was to affect an entire continent. As a people, they were never understood. Until now. By adding his novelist's imagination to his knowledge as an anthropologist and a historian, Bernard Assiniwi has written a convincing account of the Beothuk people through the ages. To do so he has given us a mirror image of the history rendered by Europeans. For example, we know from the Norse Sagas that four slaves escaped from the Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows. What happened to them? Bernard Assiniwi supplies a plausible answer, just as he perhaps solves the mystery of the Portuguese ships that sailed west in 1501 to catch more Beothuk, and disappeared from the paper records forever. The story of the Beothuk people is told in three parts. "The Initiate" tells of Anin, who made a voyage by canoe around the entire island a thousand years ago, encountering the strange Vikings with their "cutting sticks" and their hair "the colour of dried grass." His encounters with whales, bears, raiding Inuit and other dangers, and his survival skills on this epic journey make for fascinating reading, as does his eventual return to his home where, with the help of his strong and active wives, he becomes a legendary chief, the father of his people.

In a warm and affectionate narrative that "transports readers back to a time before cable television, cell phones, and the Internet" (Atlanta Journal-Constitution), John Bernard Ruane paints a marvelous portrait of his Irish-Catholic boyhood on the southwest side of Chicago in the 1960s. Capturing all the details that perfectly evoke those bygone days for Catholics and baby boomers everywhere, Ruane recounts his formative years donning the navy-and-plaid school uniform of St. Bede's: the priests and nuns; bullies, best friends, and first loves; and most memorable teachers -- including the miniskirted blonde who inspired lust among the fifth-grade boys but was fired for protesting the Vietnam War. Here are stories from the heart of his hardworking, blue-collar family: the good times and bad; sibling rivalries; summers by the lake; delivering newspapers in the frigid Chicago winter; the fire that destroyed the family home; and the loss of their beloved mother to cancer. And here are priceless accounts of Ruane's days as an altar boy: from an embarrassing bell-ringing mishap, to serving a strict pastor who built a magnificent church but couldn't inspire Christian spirit, to the Heaven-sent guitar-playing priest who turned worship around for a generation of youth.
Described by readers as intense, deeply inspirational, and a true page-turner, "Persist, Persist, Persist" unfolds like a captivating movie right before your eyes. In a world that often dismisses the pursuit of dreams as a mere luxury, for Junior, it was an all-out war between life and death. Growing up in the heart of poverty in Haiti, a world vividly described in this memoir, Junior embarked on an unprecedented journey-from surviving a heart-wrenching car crash to desperate street begging in the Dominican Republic. Then came the Haiti earthquake, a relentless force that snuffed out over 200k lives in less than 60 seconds. And if you think you've heard it all, think again. What lies ahead in these pages takes "persistence" to a whole new dimension-a story so gripping, so raw, that you need to read it to believe it. "Persist, Persist, Persist" is not just a memoir; it's an electrifying, can't-put-it-down chronicle that immerses you in Junior's thrilling journey and unveils Haiti's narrative in a revolutionary light. A timeless tale of obsession, survival, and self-invention, intricately woven with the unforgiving twists of fate. Brace yourself for a narrative that will make you lose track of time and demand to be shared with everyone you know.
The setting is a country called Inish (the Irish word for "island" and also for "tell"), which bears a striking resemblance to modern Eire. More pertinently, Inish resembles a state of mind--and since the mind has a tendency to wander, it's not unnatural that certain scenes take place in Australia, Iceland, and the desolate Arrack Mines. First published in 1966, revolving musically around three separate identities and the idea of identity itself, Mr. Share's novel can, perhaps, be best described as a metaphysical farce."--Publisher description.
Many drugs and other xenobiotics (e.g., preservatives, insecticides, and plastifiers) contain hydrolyzable moieties such as ester or amide groups. In biological media, such foreign compounds are, therefore, important substrates for hydrolytic reactions catalyzed by hydrolases or proceeding non-enzymatically. Despite their significance, until now, no book has been dedicated to hydrolysis and hydrolases in the metabolism of drugs and other xenobiotics. This work fills a gap in the literature and reviews metabolic reactions of hydrolysis and hydarion from the point of views of enzymes, substrates, and reactions.
