BEFORE THE RIPPER, THERE WAS THE PLAGUE MAKER England, 1870 A woman is murdered, her child taken. For residents of a small railway town, such a crime in their midst is as shocking as it is terrifying. Yet for local Police Constable John Tanner, the nightmare is only just beginning when he follows the trail to Whitechapel, home of the London Metropolitan Police Force’s legendary H Division. There he will meet Detective Sergeant Henry Lofthouse, a disillusioned officer of Scotland Yard’s reorganised Detective Branch. Confronted with murders unlike any yet seen, these two very different men must grapple with deception, mistrust and their own demons if they are to stop a relentless killer from fulfilling a horrifying ambition... In this sweeping, character-driven epic, Michael Averon weaves a dark tale of murder, betrayal, love, lust and vengeance to craft a bloodsoaked tapestry knotted with vicious twists and turns that will stay with you long after the final page. From the quiet bustle of a provincial town, to the dark underbelly of Victorian London, A Plague of Murder opens the door on a richly detailed world, igniting a saga that will lead to the blade of Jack the Ripper himself.
Aimee Mayne was born into a life of apparent privilege and opportunity. However, as a woman born in 1872 and living through the first half of the twentieth century, these opportunities were severely limited by law, culture and tradition. This story is of a woman of the British upper-middle-class, whose life was full of colour – of living in India; of family relationships; of travel; of the Blitz. She kept diaries, and wrote an intimate memoir. This book explores her emotional conflicts, with a revealing analysis that includes revelations about a woman brought up in the late-Victorian period, encompassing her sex-life and the turmoil of an unhappy marriage. It is a study of a life that identifies how an upper-middle-class upbringing that included an attempted tertiary education, at a time when this was unheard of for most women, induced her into a marriage and life-style that was the antithesis of her early aspirations. Her life was to engender a sense of grievance that embittered relations with her family. While she took advantage of her travels to undertake a successful lecturing career, personal fulfilment was only to be found at the end of her life during the London Blitz in World War Two.
Development is best understood as a fusion of biological, social, and psychological processes interacting in the unique medium of human culture. [In this text, the authors] have tried to show not only the role of each of these factors considered separately but also how they interact in diverse cultural contexts to create whole, unique human beings.-Pref.

The Reformed Two-Kingdom project has generated a great deal of literature. However, this literature is often characterized by inflamed rhetoric. Further, though it is standard fare to assume that Kline was the architect of the project, in reality, there has been very little scholarly examination of this point. In response, Kline’s system is analyzed through the means of a dialectical discourse with three differing models within the Reformed tradition—the Theonomist, Perspectivalist, and Dooyeweerdian schools. Through this means, the study keeps away from surface-level polemics and instead directs readers to the critically important substructural level of current discussions. While clarifying some of the key differences between Kline and his interlocutors, often-overlooked points of nuance are also highlighted. These points are shown to be important in that they present the potential to lessen frustration and impasse in the ongoing dialogue.
The Darwinian theory of evolution begins with facts (science of microevolution) and ends with fiction (myths of macroevolution). The myths are part of our experience, no transitional organisms in the living world; and part of our discoveries, no transitional fossils in such deposits at the Burgess Shale and Chengjiang sites where various kinds of organisms appear together in large collection. In his fourth book, Refuting the Myth of Evolutionism and Exposing the Folly of Clergy Letters, author Michael Ebifegha stresses that real science is timeless and based on events that are directly or indirectly observable, testable and repeatable. Challenging a league of scientists and their clerical allies who are banning the teaching of creationism in public schools, Ebifegha insists that evolutionism is also outside science�s purview and therefore should be banned as well. He reprimands clerics for capitalizing on human knowledge but failing to recognize the validity of God�s personal claim in speech before an audience and in print on stone tablets for having created the world. These interventions, he asserts, fulfills the world�s standard legal requirement for inventors. Ebifegha argues that the inconsistency of imposing evolutionism as scientific truth on the public and banning creationism violates (1) the academic rights of accomplished scientists who disagree with evolutionism on scientific grounds; (2) the US Supreme Court�s 1992 declaration, At the heart of liberty is the right to define one�s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life; and (3) God�s historical claim to ownership of the universe.
