It is 2035 when a new organization joins forces with the United Nations to help establish order. The POLICE go out of their way to feed the hungry and the poor, end the drug trades, stop crime, and transport medical supplies to the ill. In short, they are miracle workers. Unfortunately, something is about to go very wrong. After the POLICE make the fateful decision to leave their partnership with the United Nations, World War III breaks out. Five long years of fighting eventually cause the United States to topple. One by one, every other country is taken over by the power-hungry POLICE until they finally claim victory over the world. But little do they know that a small group called Le Rebells is preparing to launch terrorist attacks in an effort to stop them. Meanwhile, sixteen-year-old Thomas Haroldson is trying to live a normal life in what was once Germany. As he heads to his job in a factory, Tom has no idea that he is about to become immersed in the dangerous struggle between the POLICE and the Rebells. Caught between two crumbling worlds, Tom must convince the leaders of the POLICE and the Rebells to reach a peaceful resolutionbefore it is too late.

Pseudo-Kodinos and the Constantinopolitan Court: Offices and Ceremonies

By: Ruth Macrides,J.A. Munitiz,Dimiter Angelov

The work known as Pseudo-Kodinos, the fourteenth-century text which is one of two surviving ceremonial books from the Byzantine empire, is presented here for the first time in English translation. With facing page Greek text and the first in-depth analysis in the form of commentary and individual studies on the hierarchy, the ceremonies, court attire, the Blachernai palace, lighting, music, gestures and postures, this volume makes an important new contribution to the study of the Byzantine court, and to the history and culture of Byzantium more broadly. The unique traits of this ceremony book include the combination of hierarchical lists of court officials with protocols of ceremonies; a detailed description of the clothing used at court, in particular, hats and staffs; an account of the functions of the court title holders, a description of the ceremonies of the year which take place both inside the palace and outside; the service of the megas domestikos in the army, protocols for the coronation of the emperor, the promotions of despot, sebastokrator and caesar, of the patriarch; a description of the mourning attire of the emperor; protocol for the reception of a foreign bride in Constantinople all these are analysed here. Developments in ceremonial since the tenth-century Book of Ceremonies are discussed, as is the space in which ceremonial was performed, along with a new interpretation of the ’other palace’, the Blachernai. The text reveals the anonymous authors’ interest in the past, in the origins of practices and items of clothing, but it is argued that Pseudo-Kodinos presents descriptions of actual practice at the Byzantine court, rather than prescriptions.

By: William W. Johnstone,J.A. Johnstone

USA Today bestselling author: One man stands between a murderous gang and a fortune in gold bullion . . . Into a lawless town rode a hero named John Henry Sixkiller . . . Only William W. Johnstone with J. A. Johnstone could tell a tale of violence and vengeance so real, so raw, it outdoes the legends of Old West justice that inspired it. On the American frontier, history is written by bullets It was there for the taking: $75,000 in gold bullion, the combined payrolls of three productive gold mines, just waiting to be stolen from under the noses of a bickering sheriff and city marshal. Billy Ray Gilmore and his band of kill-crazy outlaws have a plan to do it, too—that is, until Sixkiller comes to town. Hiding his badge to conceal his identity as a US marshal, Sixkiller goes undercover to smoke out the culprits before they strike. But in this town full of two-legged rattlesnakes, deadly surprises lurk behind every saloon door. To keep from being bitten, Sixkiller will have to lay a few traps of his own. Lucky for him, what this town lacks in law, it makes up for in guns—and dynamite.

Learning To Speak

A Manual for Parents

By: P. R. Zelazo,R. B. Kearsley,J. A. Ungerer

First published in 1984. The reissue of this manual is timely for two reasons: The dramatic increase in the incidence of autism and the use of this program with children who have autism and their parents since 1984 by one of the authors (PRZ). This manual has been used successfully to produce spontaneous three-word sentences in the majority of children in the original Boston sample (i.e., those with normal information processing ability), in clinical cases seen subsequently at the Montreal Children's Hospital until May 2002, and those treated at the Montreal Autism Centre currently. In all these cases, the manual has been used under the guidance of a professional who was skilled with these procedures, originally the three authors, two psychologists and a behavioral pediatrician/psychologist (RBK).

Oral and Manuscript Culture in the Bible

By: J. A. Loubser

Drawing on a wide range of scholarship dealing with the properties and function of the materialities of the oral and scribal arts, as well as oral-scribal interfaces, the author unfolds before our eyes and makes manifest to our ears a world of communications in which there are no original texts, let alone original speech, where manuscripts are written to be remembered and read out aloud, where scribal products exhibit both a metonymic and a polyvalent quality.

Eerdmans Commentary on the Bible: Jeremiah and Lamentations

By: A. R. Pete Diamond,David J. A. Clines

This extract from the Eerdmans Commentary on the Bible provides Diamond and Clines' introduction to and concise commentary on Jeremiah and Lamentations. The Eerdmans Commentary on the Bible presents, in nontechnical language, the best of modern scholarship on each book of the Bible, including the Apocrypha. Reader-friendly commentary complements succinct summaries of each section of the text and will be valuable to scholars, students, and general readers. Rather than attempt a verse-by-verse analysis, these volumes work from larger sense units, highlighting the place of each passage within the overarching biblical story. Commentators focus on the genre of each text—parable, prophetic oracle, legal code, and so on—interpreting within the historical and literary context. The volumes also address major issues within each biblical book—including the range of possible interpretations—and refer readers to the best resources for further discussions.

The Man from Waco

By: William W. Johnstone,J.A. Johnstone

Meet John Bannack. Jailed for a crime he didn’t commit. Busted out of a Texas State Prison. Running for freedom and gunning for justice. They call him . . .THE MAN FROM WACO. As a young man, John Bannack worked hard on his brother’s farm—until times got tough and his brother grew desperate. Desperate enough to rob a bank. Unfortunately, John’s brother left a trail that led straight to the Bannack farm. When a posse showed up to make an arrest, John made a fateful decision: He confessed to his brother’s crime. Sacrificed his freedom for the sake of his brother’s family. And doomed himself to a hard, hellish life in a rat-hole state prison . . . A man’s got two choices in a place like that: Get tough or get killed. For John Bannack it means this will be a one-way trip to Hell. Bannack is on a work detail outside the prison. On the way back, Judge Wick Justice, who sentenced Bannack, tags along with the prison wagon, only to find he has involved himself in a planned prison break. When a gang ambushes the wagon and frees the prisoners, they bullet-blast the guards—and the judge takes a hunk of lead himself. But Bannack finds the judge alive and takes him to safety. In return, the judge releases him from prison and employs him as his bodyguard and avenger. Johnstone Country. A New Texas Legend.

Eight Hours to Die

By: William W. Johnstone,J.A. Johnstone

John Henry Sixkiller must protect a New Mexico town—from its own sheriff—in this powerful Western from “a master storyteller” (Publishers Weekly). William W. Johnstone, the beloved, bestselling frontier chronicler, brings to life the story based on the historical lawman born and bred in Cherokee Nation: Sixkiller. In the wild, wild west there is no man more dangerous—on either side of the law. Three men dead. And Sixkiller might be next . . . The territorial governor has sent three lawmen to clean up the mess that is Chico, New Mexico—and not one of those lawmen has made it out alive. A crooked sheriff has the terrified denizens of Chico under his boot heel, so the governor turns to John Henry Sixkiller, sending him undercover as a gunman for hire. So far, Sixkiller has bloodied his opponents in every battle he’s fought in the Southwest. But this one could affect the entire country: A group of merciless land pirates have been hiding behind Chico’s brutal sheriff. Their goal: to take the entire territory hostage and sell it lock, stock and barrel to Mexico—gleefully slaughtering anyone who gets in the way . . .

Johnstone Country. Shoot Straight or Die. Scottish cattleman Duff MacCallister staked a claim for his life in America—and reserves a righteous anger for those who break the law in this smoking six-gun shootout from National Bestselling Authors William W. and J.A. Johnstone . . . Thanks to a new line, the railroad has come to Chugwater, Wyoming, bridging the gap between the small town and the larger city of Cheyenne. Now Duff MacCallister can transport his 250 Black Angus cattle herd with ease by Iron Horse instead of enduring a two-day traildrive. But the day after depositing $15,000 in his Cheyenne account, Duff learns that bank president Jeremy Brinks embezzled every cent—totalling $65,000—and then guilt-ridden, committed suicide. Jeremy wasn’t just Duff’s banker, but his longtime friend. The widow Brinks doesn’t believe her husband was a thief or that he killed himself. Duff agrees. And after getting an appointment as Territorial Marshal, he’s aiming his barrel at putting every double-crossing lawman, red-handed outlaw, and corrupt businessmen he can rustle up behind bars—or six feet under . . .

Laughter and Power in the Twelfth Century

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Laughter and Power in the Twelfth Century

By: Peter J. A. Jones

Towards the end of the twelfth century, powerful images of laughing kings and saints began to appear in texts circulating at the English royal court. At the same time, contemporaries began celebrating the wit, humour, and laughter of King Henry II (r.1154-89) and his martyred Archbishop of Canterbury, Saint Thomas Becket (d.1170). Taking a broad genealogical approach, Laughter and Power in the Twelfth Century traces the emergence of this powerful laughter through an immersive study of medieval intellectual, literary, social, religious, and political debates. Focusing on a cultural renaissance in England, the study situates laughter at the heart of the defining transformations of the second half of the 1100s. With an expansive survey of theological and literary texts, bringing a range of unedited manuscript material to light in the process, Peter J. A. Jones exposes how twelfth-century writers came to connect laughter with spiritual transcendence and justice, and how this connection gave humour a unique political and spiritual power in both text and action. Ultimately, Jones argues that England's popular images of laughing kings and saints effectively reinstated a sublime charismatic authority, something truly rebellious at a moment in history when bureaucracy and codification were first coming to dominate European political life.

A Horrible and True Story of Deception, Witchcraft, Murder, and the King of England

By: J. A. Sharpe

In 1604, 20-year-old Anne Gunter appeared to be bewitched: she suffered violent fits, fell into trances, and was said to be able to prophesy the future. The three women she accused as her tormentors were involved in a murderous feud with her father. This true tale of controlling fathers, wilful daughters, power relations between peasants and gentry, and village life in early-modern Europe opens a fascinating window into the past and reveals one young woman's experience with the phenomenon of witchcraft.

The result is judicious and balanced insight into the meanings of the text in the framework of biblical theology. These widely acclaimed commentaries serve as exceptional resources for the professional theologian and instructor, the seminary or university student, the working minister, and everyone concerned with building theological understanding from a solid base of biblical scholarship.

Each section of the commentary includes: Pericope Bibliography—a helpful resource containing the most important works that pertain to each particular pericope.

The Legend of Kisrath

By: J.A. Gandza

In the vast expanse of the omniverse, where eight realms coexist in a delicate balance of power, the winds of change whisper of a prophecy—the arrival of a promised messiah who will spearhead a profound transformation. However, a dark shadow looms on the horizon, a mysterious magician and his menacing horde of black dragons. Not only do they oppose this evolutionary leap forward, they want to roll the clocks all the way back, ushering in a new age of slavery and death. The Kingdom of Rhoswen in the third realm of Veldamon, safeguarded by dragon marshals and their riders, stands as the last bastion against this encroaching evil. Among them is Kisrath, a resplendent golden dragon, and her rider, Mylandra, who is the captain of the guard. They and their companions bear the weight of protecting their homeland, unaware that their battle to save Rhoswen is but one skirmish in a much larger war. As their struggle catapults them through time and across dimensions, their friendship and courage are put to the test. Failure is not an option, however, for if their kingdom falls, the annihilation of the entire omniverse is assured, a cataclysmic plunge into eons of boundless darkness.

Dance of the Bones

A J. P. Beaumont and Brandon Walker Novel

By: J. A. Jance

J. P. Beaumont and Brandon Walker, two of New York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance’s most acclaimed series characters, join forces for the first time in one of the most suspenseful works of her career. Years ago, Amos Warren, a prospector, was gunned down out in the desert and Sheriff Brandon Walker made the arrest in the case. Now, the retired Walker is called in when the alleged killer, John Lassiter, refuses to accept a plea deal that would release him from prison with time served. Lassiter wants Brandon and The Last Chance to find Amos's "real" killer and clear his name. Sixteen hundred miles to the north in Seattle, J.P. Beaumont is at loose ends after the Special Homicide Investigation Team, affectionately known as S.H.I.T., has been unexpectedly and completely disbanded. When Brandon discovers that there are links between Lassiter’s case and an unsolved case in Seattle, he comes to Beau for help. Those two cases suddenly become hot when two young boys from the reservation, one of them with close ties to the Walker family, go missing. Can two seasoned cops, working together, decipher the missing pieces in time to keep them alive?

Soccer's Missing Men

Schoolteachers and the Spread of Association Football

By: J.A. Mangan,Colm Hickey

Now unknown or forgotten, influential schoolmasters took the game of association football to many parts of England. They had several roles: they brought the game to individual schools, they established regional and national leagues and associations, and they founded professional football clubs. They also exported the game around the world, working as moral missionaries, passionate players and energetic entrepreneurs. The role of teachers in association football is a much neglected aspect of English cultural history. It is a story that deserves to be told because it allows a fundamental reappraisal of the status and position of these teachers in late nineteenth century and early twentieth century society. This volume was previously published as a special issue of the journal Soccer and Society.
