Sundered Agency

By: Graham Pierson Roung

In the year 2098, when a pact between the United States and Canada is put into motion, US Military protection is traded for the arranged trade of Canadian freshwater. Part of the trade pact was the dissolvement of the Canadian military under the grounds of redundancy. Two friends find their way through the cracks of the new collaboration, with the focal point of their lives being an off-the-grid compound they have built in northern Ontario. Clarke, a construction superintendent, and veteran of a second war in Iraq, balances his life between work and the compound. Ben, assistant minister of agriculture, tries to find why Canadian crop yields keep receding year after year-working with the country’s farmers to develop a solution. Clarke and Ben will be tested to their limits as the commodities of the future become the driver of politics and conflict.

Encyclopedia of American Short Films, 1926-1959

By: Graham Webb

Short subject films have a long history in American cinemas. These could be anywhere from 2 to 40 minutes long and were used as a "filler" in a picture show that would include a cartoon, a newsreel, possibly a serial and a short before launching into the feature film. Shorts could tackle any topic of interest: an unusual travelogue, a comedy, musical revues, sports, nature or popular vaudeville acts. With the advent of sound-on-film in the mid-to-late 1920s, makers of earlier silent short subjects began experimenting with the short films, using them as a testing ground for the use of sound in feature movies. After the Second World War, and the rising popularity of television, short subject films became far too expensive to produce and they had mostly disappeared from the screens by the late 1950s. This encyclopedia offers comprehensive listings of American short subject films from the 1920s through the 1950s.

Provides modern molecular biology insights into the mechanistic basis of adaptation, and takes the level of analysis beyond the cell to the membrane, enzyme and gene.

Food, Sex and Strangers

Understanding Religion as Everyday Life

Food, Sex and Strangers

Understanding Religion as Everyday Life

By: Graham Harvey

Religion is more than a matter of worshipping a deity or spirit. For many people, religion pervades every part of their lives and is not separated off into some purely private and personal realm. Religion is integral to many people's relationship with the wider world, an aspect of their dwelling among other beings - both human and other-than-human - and something manifested in the everyday world of eating food, having sex and fearing strangers. "Food, Sex and Strangers" offers alternative ways of thinking about what religion involves and how we might better understand it. Drawing on studies of contemporary religions, especially among indigenous peoples, the book argues that religion serves to maintain and enhance human relationships in and with the larger-than-human world. Fundamentally, religion can be better understood through the ways we negotiate our lives than in affirmations of belief - and it is best seen when people engage in intimate acts with themselves and others.

Katharine Graham's Washington

By: Katharine Graham

As a fitting epilogue to a life intimately linked to Washington, D.C., Pulitzer Prize winner Katharine Graham, the woman who transformed The Washington Post into a paper of record, left behind this lovingly collected anthology of writings about the city she knew and loved, a moving tribute to the nation’s capital. To Russell Banks, it is a place where “no one is in charge and no one, therefore, can be held responsible for the mess.” To John Dos Passos, it is “essentially a town of lonely people.” Whatever your impressions of Washington, D.C., you will likely find them challenged here. Experience Christmas with the Roosevelts, as seen through the eyes of a White House housekeeper. Learn why David McCullough is happy to declare “I love Washington,” while The Washington Post’s Sally Quinn wonders, “Why Do They Hate Washington?” Glimpse David Brinkley’s depiction of the capital during World War II, then experience Henry Kissinger’s thoughts on “Peace at Last,” post-Vietnam. Written by a who’s who of journalists, historians, First Ladies, politicians, and more, these varied works offer a wonderful overview of Katharine Graham’s beloved city.

A Lethal Legacy

By: Heather Graham

TREASURE OR TREACHERY? Douglas Island sits off the coast of New York State, its imposing cliffs warning away visitors. Still, Finn Douglas has big plans for his inheritance and the rambling manor house that dominates the landscape. He has a vision to turn the island into a resort getaway for overworked city dwellers. But when the broken body of his business partner is found at the base of the rocky escarpment, he fears it wasn’t an accident. Special Agent Craig Frasier agrees to help his cousin Finn by investigating and, with psychologist Kieran Finnegan at his side, heads to the island. As Craig and Kieran delve into the history of the Douglas estate, they discover that the property comes complete with strange lore and a blood-soaked past. Something evil seems to be lurking in the caverns that run beneath the stony ground. Is there something on the island that someone is willing to kill to protect? Kieran and Craig take on a dangerous search for the truth, where one false step could send them plummeting to their deaths, and one wrong turn could bring them face-to-face with a killer.

The Venture Capital MasterClass

Everything you always wanted to know about raising equity capital ... but until now, you had no one to ask

By: Graham Segal

DO YOU WANT TO FIND THE SECRET TO SUCCESSFULLY RAISING EQUITY CAPITAL? THE VENTURE CAPITAL MASTERCLASS EBOOK HAS THE ANSWER You want to know the secret to successfully raising equity capital; right? Right! Then you are definitely in the right place! The secret to successfully raising equity capital is right here in this essential eBook that is a ‘must read’ for go-ahead Business Owners who are looking for some financial help to take advantage of evolving marketplace opportunities. Want to hear a secret about secrets? Of course you do, especially when the secret is about successfully raising equity capital. The secret to successfully raising equity capital is that there is no secret. Not one! Zip! Successful equity raising relies almost completely on good planning, good execution and good follow: through. Graham shows you how to do this. That’s what his ebook is all about. You too can use Graham’s methods of successfully raising equity capital. It’s not a secret, it’s just a process that involves a bit of hard yakka at your end, the knowledge provided by Graham from his end and the coordination of you and Graham working together to attract investors. Crooks, cheats, scammers and swindlers Graham has included three actual case studies of crooks, cheats, scammers and swindlers who put the hard word on his clients, hoping to cheat a large dollop of money from them and quietly disappear. Two of the scams failed because Graham was on the ball, but one succeeded. It succeeded because the client would not accept Graham's advice that the deal offered by the scammer sounded dodgy, looked dodgy and, as it turned out, was dodgy. Beware the dark side of equity raising. There is a dark side to equity raising because the venture capital industry, with it’s emphasis on financial deal making and the availability of persons often desperate to raise capital, is like a magnet for crooks, cheats, scammers and swindlers. These crooks, cheats, scammers and swindlers are the reviled cockroaches and rats of the venture capital industry and like their namesakes, they must be eliminated. Graham covers the dark side of equity raising in his eBook. Read it so you don't get cheated! Why should you buy Graham's eBook? There are many reasons for buying Graham's eBook. Here’s a few that you may not have thought about. The eBook: - explains the issues that you must think carefully about before attempting to raise equity capital, - explains the law that covers the act of raising equity capital in Australia, - explains the process of raising equity capital in Australia, - explains some alternatives to the use of equity capital, - draws attention to the dark side of equity raising, where the venture capital industry seems to be a magnet for crooks, cheats, scammers and swindlers, and most importantly, - explains the implications for you when you no longer have the unfettered right to manage your company as you personally see fit, but you have to work with new directors

A Ghost in the Machine

A Chief Inspector Barnaby Novel

By: Caroline Graham

When a bloody, pulverized body is found lying beneath the rustic timbers of an authentic torture device so vicious and complicated as to be blood-curdling, there's sufficient unrest in tiny Forbes Abbot to call in Chief Inspector Barnaby. Was Dennis Brinkley done in by crooked business partners, a teenage seductress, a couple of would-be publishers who've just inherited--and then lost--millions, or perhaps by tired, timid little Benny Fraye, who wouldn't hurt a fly--would she? Barnaby will soon find out just who set in motion the gruesome machine that crushed the unfortunate victim. Caroline Graham's delightful cozy village mysteries, which inspired the continuing Midsommer Murders series starring Inspector Barnaby on A&E Television, have long been fan-favorites; A Ghost in the Machine is sure to cement her reputation as one of the best crime writers in the mystery business today.

Twenty-One Stories

By: Graham Greene

These wide-ranging tales of menace, tragedy, and comedy offer ample proof that “in the short story, as well as the novel, Graham Greene is the master” (The New York Times). Written between 1929 and 1954, here are twenty-one stories by a “master storyteller” (Newsweek). Whatever the crime, whatever the pursuit, whatever the mood—from the tragic and horrifying to the ribald and bittersweet, Graham Greene is “the ultimate chronicler of twentieth-century man’s consciousness and anxiety” (William Golding). In “The End of the Party,” a game of hide-and-seek takes a terrifying turn in the dark. In “The Innocent,” a romantic gets a rude awakening when he finds a hidden keepsake from a childhood crush. A husband’s sexual indiscretion is revealed in a most public and embarrassing way in “The Blue Film.” A rebellious teen’s flight from her petit bourgeois life includes a bad boy, a gun, and a plan in “A Drive in the Country.” In “A Little Place off the Edgware Road,” a suicidal man’s encounter with a stranger in a grubby cinema seals his fate. A young boy is ushered into a dark world when he discovers the secrets adults hide in “The Basement Room.” And in “When Greek Meets Greek,” a clever con between two scoundrels carries an unexpected sting. In these and more than a dozen other stories, Greene confronts his usual themes of betrayal and vengeance, love and hate, faith and doubt, guilt and grief, and pity and pursuit.

Dying Breath

A Heart-Stopping Novel of Paranormal Romantic Suspense

By: Heather Graham

Buried alive… As a teenager, Vickie Preston survived an attack by a serial killer. That was the first time she saw a ghost. Now the city of Boston is being terrorized—someone is kidnapping women and burying them alive, but cruelly leaving a glimmer of hope for the authorities by sending a clue about their location. Vickie is pulled into the investigation when her name is mentioned in one of the notes. And as a historian, she has the knowledge to help uncover the graves the killer known as the Undertaker is choosing. But she also has another unique lead: the spirit of one of the victims is appearing to her in dreams. Special Agent Griffin Pryce is on the case for the Krewe of Hunters, the FBI’s special unit for paranormal investigators. He feels particularly protective of Vickie, since their shared past is connected to the threat that currently surrounds them. With the killer accelerating his plans, time is running out for more victims hidden around the city. Vickie is becoming closer with Griffin, but she’s getting too close to the danger, and every breath could be her last.

Ignis Fatuus: A mysterious light that tempts the weary traveler from the safe path and into peril. Bored with the ennui of everyday existence? The daily grind that propels you to a too little pension and aged decrepitude, which offers no blue-skied haven to enjoy the rewards of your labours? If you had the means to commit a crime with little or no chance of being found out, would you do it? Could such an opportunity exist? With meticulous planning and execution, total self-reliance and faith in your abilities, just such an opportunity could be engineered. But you have really got to want to do it. The rewards will bring financial freedom...or incarceration. If all goes as planned, you get your old job back! Follow the path of Connor, a man who ventures away from the constraints of society's norms, who dares to take the gamble and establish that which police forces the world over are helpless against: an invisible criminal. The story follows Connor escaping to the highlands of Scotland after a journey that starts in sub Saharan Africa. Born in London, Martin C C Graham lives in Hertfordshire with his family. This is his first book. He is writing the sequel, Iens Atrum. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/MartinCCGraham

GIS and the Social Sciences

Theory and Applications

By: Dimitris Ballas,Graham Clarke,Rachel S. Franklin,Andy Newing

GIS and the Social Sciences offers a uniquely social science approach on the theory and application of GIS with a range of modern examples. It explores how human geography can engage with a variety of important policy issues through linking together GIS and spatial analysis, and demonstrates the importance of applied GIS and spatial analysis for solving real-world problems in both the public and private sector. The book introduces basic theoretical material from a social science perspective and discusses how data are handled in GIS, what the standard commands within GIS packages are, and what they can offer in terms of spatial analysis. It covers the range of applications for which GIS has been primarily used in the social sciences, offering a global perspective of examples at a range of spatial scales. The book explores the use of GIS in crime, health, education, retail location, urban planning, transport, geodemographics, emergency planning and poverty/income inequalities. It is supplemented with practical activities and datasets that are linked to the content of each chapter and provided on an eResource page. The examples are written using ArcMap to show how the user can access data and put the theory in the textbook to applied use using proprietary GIS software. This book serves as a useful guide to a social science approach to GIS techniques and applications. It provides a range of modern applications of GIS with associated practicals to work through, and demonstrates how researcher and policy makers alike can use GIS to plan services more effectively. It will prove to be of great interest to geographers, as well as the broader social sciences, such as sociology, crime science, health, business and marketing.

Relive the love and danger! Together for the first time in one value-priced digital box set, three more classic stories from New York Times bestselling author Heather Graham. Bride of the Tiger Rafe Tyler needs answers. Two years ago, his brother was lured into danger by Tara Hill’s bewitching beauty, and he disappeared. Rafe has to know what really happened, and he can only find out by being as ruthless as he believes Tara was. Slow Burn After her husband is brutally gunned down, Spencer Huntington suspects it wasn’t a random act. She demands answers from the one man who should have them: ex-cop David Delgado, her husband’s former partner and best friend since childhood. And her own ex lover. Bound in a reluctant partnership, Spencer and David search for the killer from the glittering Gold Coast of Miami to the mansions of Newport, but their loyalties are tested by desires they cannot deny… Picture Me Dead Nothing has prepared police rookie Ashley Montague for the shocking discovery of a corpse on the highway. At another crime scene in the heart of the Everglades, Detective Jake Dilessio stares at the mutilated body of a woman. As they join their investigations, Ashley and Jake are dragged deeper into a dangerous conspiracy. Now, with time running out and their lives on the line, they have everything to fight for...and everything to lose.
