Spargo’S Confession

A Novel of Cornwall 1810-22

By: Donald R. Rawe

The Revd. James Spargo has a well kept secret to impart- his youthful involvement with the great Cornish smuggling industry. Using the proceeds of his illegal activities to gain an education and become a parish priest, in so doing becoming involved with three winsome beauties, he defends his activities and explains his motives. This book also presents the underlying economic necessities of 19th century smuggling: poverty and cruelly high import duties on nearly everything, necessities as well as luxuries. Securely based on the history of Lodenek (Padstow) this novel by one of Cornwalls foremost authors brings us vividly back to life in early 19th century North Cornwall, continuing and expanding the tradition of Jamaica Inn and the Poldark series. A great tale of estuarine romance, adventure and seafaring reminiscent of Crosbie Garstin. His best novel yet. Bert Biscoe, Cornish poet and activist. Rawe is a hero of the Cornish revival. Cornish World. A cracking yam full of originality and enthusiasm, it tells of the Reverend James Spargo who takes up his pen to confess my past misdeeds and unlawful exploits. Cornish people at home and Cousin Jacks abroad will delight in this historic drama, fi lled with colour, and the salty fl avour of the sea, as well as the divisions of local life. Western Morning News.

Geraint

Last of the Arthurians

By: Donald R Rawe

It is the year AD 560. Gerennius, or Geraint, the last remaining captain of King Arthurs triumphant stand against the Germanic invades of Britain, is faced with the problem of who should succeed him as king and pendragon of his southwestern kingdom of Dumnonia. Neither of his middle-aged sons is fitted for the purpose: Jestyn is a reclusive would-be hermit, and Selyf a boisterous, drunken bully. Geraint foresees only chaos and defeat after he dies. Then one day, from his fortress above the Vala River, he hears a laundry girl singing a sad song. In this novel, one of Cornwalls foremost authors surveys the panorama and conflict between Saxon invaders and native Celts and between the two great religions of Dumnoniathe Pantheon of Celtic gods and the growing impact of Christianity, brought to southwest Britai by Welsh and Irish Saints. This is a tale told with splendour and eloquence, to be compared with works of T.H. White and John Cowper Powys for its historic mastery and surefooted detail. Read and be mesmerised. Paul Newman, author of Galahad, The Lost Gods of Albian, and editor of Abraxas

Management Information Systems for the Information Age

By: Stephen Haag,Maeve Cummings,Donald J. McCubbrey

This book maintains the unique overall approach of the successful second edition: the right mix of traditional and leading edge topical coverage along with many hands-on, problem-solving projects. Haag works well for professors (and students) who want a very interactive, engaging experience, and for those who want to see a strong tie to the latest and greatest on the Internet and corresponding textbook website. The book is equally appropriate for both business and non-business majors. This revision now clearly distinguishes between technical and managerial topics key to MIS by organising the technology coverage into modules and the managerial material into chapters. In response to feedback from both users and non-users, the chapters have been slightly reorganised to incorporate increased coverage of E-Commerce and E-Business (now a full chapter 5). Pedagogical features have been retained but fine-tuned and the vibrant design has been toned down to reflect fewer features on a page.
