A Letter For Adorabella

By: Michael F. Corriere

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

When Adorabella states: "If love denied can break a heart, perhaps love received can mend it," she is contemplating the eternal question of life: where does happiness lie? Abandoned by her mother, rejected by her fiancé, fragile, insecure and brokenhearted, she looks to love to reveal the answer. But love's path is a labyrinth of twists and turns; rarely is the path straight and true. Two men seek her love and she must make a choice. Is it Abbott, the speech therapist from a small town in Texas, or Marcus, the worldly stock broker from the city who will be "the one" to heal her broken heart. Abbott loves Adorabella. Her happiness is his only concern. He tells her to follow her heart, wherever that may lead. Yet there is so much more he wants to tell her. "Perhaps I can write what I can not say," he says. A love letter is written, but should it be given? He does not know. He wants to express to her what is deepest within his heart. He wants her to know she is worthy of love. "Let me give her this gift," he says, "a final gift of selfless love; and let the giving of this gift heal my broken heart." Abbott too asks where does happiness lie and looks to love to reveal the answer. Winner of the 11th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards in the Performing Arts category....

The Globalization of Corporate Governance

The Globalization of Corporate Governance

By: Alan Dignam,Michael Galanis

The process of economic globalization, as product and capital markets have become increasingly integrated since WWII, has placed huge, and it is argued by some, irresistible pressures on the world's 'insider' stakeholder oriented corporate governance systems. Insider corporate governance systems in countries such as Germany, so the argument goes, should converge or be transformed by global product and capital market pressures to the 'superior' shareholder oriented 'outsider' corporate governance model prevalent in the UK and the US. What these pressures from globalization are, how they manifest themselves, whether they are likely to cause such a convergence/transformation and whether these pressures will continue, lie at the heart of the exploration in this volume. The Globalization of Corporate Governance provides a detailed analysis of the evolution of the key corporate governance systems in the UK, the US and Germany from the perspective of the development of economic globalization. As such it is a valuable resource for those interested in how economic and legal reforms interact to produce change within corporate governance systems.

Unlikely Brothers

Our Story of Adventure, Loss, and Redemption

By: John Prendergast,Michael Mattocks

“You don’t look like brothers . . .” Peace activist and cofounder of the Enough Project, John Prendergast is known as a champion of human rights in Africa. But the not-so-public face of J.P. is the life he’s led as a Big Brother to Michael Mattocks. As a curious, driven, and emotionally wounded twenty-year-old, J.P. made the life-changing decision to form a “Big Brother/Little Brother” relationship with then seven-year-old Michael, who was living out of plastic bags and drifting from one homeless shelter to the next with his mother and siblings. Lacking a connection with his own brother and distancing himself from a disastrous relationship with his father, J.P. formed a unique bond with Michael the moment they met. Michael and J.P. became like family, with Michael and some of his siblings even living with J.P. one summer. In the years that followed, J.P. took Michael and his brothers on outings, whether it was fishing, playing basketball, patronizing cheap restaurants, or going on road trips. This friendship would continue for over twenty-five years as the two coped with varying degrees of violence, instability, and trauma in their own lives. Told in duet, Unlikely Brothers follows Michael as he grows up on the tough streets of Washington, D.C., where as a young teenager he watched his best friend get shot, dropped out of school, and started dealing crack cocaine shortly thereafter. By sixteen, Michael had become the kingpin of his neighborhood, guns and drugs always close at hand. Meanwhile, J.P. was traveling to and from African war zones. J.P. offered Michael a refuge from the streets, never really confronting the gravity of what Michael was going through in his adolescence. In turn, Michael afforded J.P. an escape from his own turbulent personal and professional life. As the years go by, the two swoop in and out of each other’s lives, slowly disconnecting as they disappear into their respective worlds, but making their way back to each other at a critical moment for both of them. The effect the two have on each other is extremely significant to both of their paths to redemption. Inspirational and deeply moving, Unlikely Brothers beautifully showcases how life’s most random moments can often be the most profound.

Tracy, My Destiny

By: Michael D. Lieberman

Dan is twenty-six, has a masters degree in international affairs, waits tables to pay the bills, lives with Marnie, but still pines for Julie, who mocks him from behind a huge desk at the law firm where she is a highly-paid summer associate. Tracy is thirty-one, works a dull research job for two guys named John, her mother a hopeless alcoholic, her longtime boyfriend also John a hopeless workaholic; Tracy wants more from life, but does know where to turn. When Tracy invites a Yugoslavian political refugee for dinner, Dan serves them a triple-meat pizza and everything changes. Washington, DC, 1990. Set in the nation's capital and suburban New Jersey in the 1990s, Tracy, My Destiny is a love story. But just who loves whom, how, and where is never clear. Tracy and Dan waste time searching for places they do not know exist, emerging from the ruin of stillborn careers, premature fatalities, irredeemable relationships, sexual harassment, and a mysterious arson in parallel states of confusion. Tracy, My Destiny exposes the powerful emotions that run beneath the surface of modern American life and explores the complex instability and emotional lives of two ordinary, struggling people. This is Michael D. Lieberman's most intimate and poignant fiction, a sometimes bittersweet, and occasionally tragic portrait of the journey into adulthood in late twentieth century America.

Richard III

By: Michael Hicks

Richard III

By: Michael Hicks

The definitive biography and assessment of the wily and formidable prince who unexpectedly became monarch-the most infamous king in British history. The reign of Richard III, the last Yorkist king and the final monarch of the Plantagenet dynasty, marked a turning point in British history. But despite his lasting legacy, Richard only ruled as king for the final two years of his life. While much attention has been given to his short reign, Michael Hicks explores the whole of Richard's fascinating life and traces the unfolding of his character and career from his early years as the son of a duke to his violent death at the battle of Bosworth. Hicks explores how Richard-villainized for his imprisonment and probable killing of the princes-applied his experience to overcome numerous setbacks and adversaries. Richard proves a complex, conflicted individual whose Machiavellian tact and strategic foresight won him a kingdom. He was a reformer who planned big changes, but lost the opportunity to fulfill them and to retain his crown."--Provided by publisher.

Pentecostal Insight in a Segregated US City

Designs for Vitality

By: Frederick Klaits,Michael Richbart,LaShekia Chatman

In Pentecostal Insight in a Segregated U.S. City, Frederick Klaits compares how members of one majority white and two African American churches in Buffalo, New York receive knowledge from God about their own and others' life circumstances. In the Pentecostal Christian faith, believers say that they acquire divinely inspired insights by developing a “relationship with God.” But what makes these insights appear necessary? This book offers a novel approach to this question, arguing that the inspirations believers receive from God lead them to take critical stances on what they regard as ordinary understandings of space, time, care, and personal value. Using a shared Pentecostal language, believers occupying different positions within racial, class, and gender formations reflect in divergent ways on God's designs. In the process, they engage critically with late liberal imaginaries of eventfulness and vitality to envision possibilities of life in a highly unequal society. This text incorporates commentaries on Klaits' ethnography by LaShekia Chatman and Michael Richbart, junior scholars who have also studied and been part of Pentecostal communities in Buffalo.

Fiction and the Philosophy of Happiness

Ethical Inquiries in the Age of Enlightenment

By: Brian Michael Norton

Fiction and the Philosophy of Happiness explores the novel's participation in eighteenth-century "inquiries after happiness," an ancient ethical project that acquired new urgency with the rise of subjective models of wellbeing in early modern and Enlightenment Europe. Combining archival research on treatises on happiness with illuminating readings of Samuel Johnson, Laurence Sterne, Denis Diderot, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, William Godwin and Mary Hays, Brian Michael Norton's innovative study asks us to see the novel itself as a key instrument of Enlightenment ethics. His central argument is that the novel form provided a uniquely valuable tool for thinking about the nature and challenges of modern happiness: whereas treatises sought to theorize the conditions that made happiness possible in general, eighteenth-century fiction excelled at interrogating the problem on the level of the particular, in the details of a single individual's psychology and unique circumstances. Fiction and the Philosophy of Happiness demonstrates further that through their fine-tuned attention to subjectivity and social context these writers called into question some cherished and time-honored assumptions about the good life: happiness is in one's power; virtue is the exclusive path to happiness; only vice can make us miserable. This elegant and richly interdisciplinary book offers a new understanding of the cultural work the eighteenth-century novel performed as well as an original interpretation of the Enlightenment's ethical legacy.

Blade Runner Aahna ‘Ash’ Ashina of the Los Angeles Police Department has been assigned to investigate the disappearance of Isobel and Cleo Selwyn, the wife and daughter of business tycoon Alexander Selwyn. After reporting back to Selwyn on the progress of her investigation, Ash survived a near-fatal attempt on her life and was hospitalized, after members of the Replicant underground shot down her Spinner. Subsequently, the NYPD learned of Ash’s cybernetic back-brace and promptly suspended her indefinitely from active duty. Ash then learned that Selwyn had also demanded her removal from the case, citing disappointment with her progress. Determined to uncover the truth, Ash decided to continue investigating independently and went to the Tyrell Corporation in search of answers. There, she discovered Selwyn’s wife had actually died years earlier and that Isobel was in fact a Replicant gifted to him by Eldon Tyrell in an attempt to assuage his friend’s grief and to protect Cleo from knowing the truth. Accepting the offer of a new Spinner, Ash set out to track down the missing pair, whom Ash soon learned were attempting to escape the city. Meanwhile, Isobel and Cleo have been smuggled south across the border to Mexico and taken to an island called El Santaurio, which is populated entirely by Replicants…

The Seventh Day

By: Michael Alexander

Detective Nick McCallister investigates a rash of suicides three on the south end and three on the west end, his own son Justin among them. Something evil is happening in the city. McCallister comes face to face with that evil when Satan's personal assistant Nathan appears in his living room late one night and asks if he's ready for the truth. While an escape from reality is actually what he wants, McCallister knows Nathan must be stopped but he has no idea how to proceed. McCallister is already being sucked downward by the emotional undercurrent from a failing marriage, Justin's suicide, and the investigation of his own police force over the grim murder of a local African American civil rights activist. He's drawn into the ugliest corners of a truth he never could have imagined, a world where the myths of civilization are exposed, the Inquisition analyzed, and the Holy Bible rewritten. McCallister is challenged to determine what is truly good and what is truly evil after he realizes his son and his wife have made their own informed and untimely decisions.

The Neutrino Effect

The World Builders

By: Michael E. Kirshteyn

In a tumultuous future you may live to see, in a world poised on the brink of an uneasy peace, there will come a time of great discovery. One man's vision of a united earth will collide head-on with the ideals of a civilization so advanced that language has become nearly obsolete and conflict has evolved far beyond the simplicities of weapons and war. In this cataclysmic twilight moment in history, the peoples of our planet must band together towards a higher purpose or be destroyed by the machinations of our own short-sightedness.This is the first exciting adventure of Vladimir Ustinov and his team of scientists and philosophers, as they blaze the way for humankind's seminal encounter with The World Builders, an alien race whose nobility and cunning is matched only by their incredible achievements in the manipulation of physics. As Ustinov and his trusted companions Xan Huxley, Harry Northrop and General Jake Vicobs open the door to our first glimpse into a vast universe filled with overwhelming wonder and terrifying evil, they will discover that the ultimate equation is something far more complex than any of them could have imagined. An equation that will reach across time and space to teach new lessons, build new empires, and destroy the final barrier between man and alien. Humanity.

Blade Runner 2029 #1

By: Michael Green,Mike Johnson

Early in the 21 Century, the Tyrell Corporation advanced Robot evolution to the Nexus phase – a being virtually identical to a human – known as a Replicant. Replicants were used Off-World as slave labor, in the hazardous exploration and colonization of other planets. Replicants who escaped and returned to Earth were hunted by special police squads – Blade Runner Units – with orders to kill any trespassing Replicant upon detection. In 2022, radical elements with the Replicant Underground detonate an EMP device over Los Angeles, destroying Tyrell Corporation’s Nexus databases, and making it easier for escaped Replicants to resettle on Earth. Soon, all Replicants are banned and the Tyrell Corporation declares bankruptcy. In 2027, Aahna ‘Ash’ Ashina, a former Blade Runner rejoined the department to hunt down fugitive Replicants. Her superiors are unaware that her loyalties are divided.

Blade Runner 2019 #3

By: Michael Green,Mike Johnson

Blade Runner Aahna ‘Ash’ Ashina of the Los Angeles Police Department has been assigned to investigate the disappearance of Isobel and Cleo Selwyn, the wife and daughter of business tycoon, Alexandra Selwyn. Using data retrieved from Isobel’s abandoned Spinner, Ash followed Isobel’s trail and found herself confronting a replicant who had genetically ‘aged himself up’ as an old man to avoid detection. Ash shot and wounded him after he attacked her, but he was still able to escape, telling Ash, as he fled, to: “Ask Alexander Selwyn why he wants his daughter dead.” Meanwhile, Isobel and Cleo have made contact with an underworld community that lives beneath the streets of Los Angeles and its leader, Malik, who also runs an underground railway that helps Replicants to escape. After Ash reported back to Selwyn on the progress of her investigation, her own Spinner was attacked in mid-air by another craft, which sent her crashing and burning towards the streets of the city below…

Come With Me If You Want to Live

The Future as Foretold in Classic Sci-Fi Films

By: Michael Harris

If our near future sometimes feels like a dystopian sci-fi movie, that’s because it is. In Come With Me If You Want to Live: The Future as Foretold in Classic Sci-Fi Films, Michael Harris reveals the hidden-in-plain-sight meanings of the greatest science fiction films of the past fifty years, the ways in which they predicted the future that we are increasingly living in, but how we can still avoid the worst of what they warned us about. The 1970s saw the start of a new wave of science fiction that predicted environmental destruction, out-of-control technology, and escalating political crises. These were not the fantastical imaginings of filmmakers, they were based on rising environmental consciousness and solid scientific research. The explanation of why we didn’t heed these warnings might be the most important story of our time – and now our future. Each chapter focuses on a classic sci-fi film: among them Blade Runner, Terminator 2, 12 Monkeys, Brazil, , Soylent Green, and the Back to the Future series; these films are used to consider our likely environmental, technological, and political future. But taking sci-fi seriously again could help us to regain our power to create different tomorrows guided by practical utopianism, and to imagine new science fictions for a better world. If you’re wondering what the future holds, maybe you’ve already seen it.

Richard III: Classic Histories Series

By: Prof Michael Hicks

Five centuries have passed since Richard III was King of England. He reigned for just two years. Then retribution swept away his throne, his life, his dynasty and, above all, his reputation. He has been vilified as a murderer and a monster. It is through Shakespeare's portrayal that subsequent generations knew Richard III as an evil king. Then, in this century, Richard III has found his advocates: those who regard him as more sinned against than sinning. The process of rehabilitation has begun. This study by an acclaimed scholar of Richard III strips away the legends, propaganda and the posturing of the centuries and rescues Richard from his critics and supporters alike and, by revealing contemporary evidence and attitudes, recreates the world of Ricardian politics and ideological warfare, and seeks to explain Richard's bewildering transformation in his own lifetime from the model of nobility, via kingship, to tyrant and monster.

Ash was rescued from the wreck of the platform by a British Blade Runner called Hythe, who had reinstated Ash to the rank of Blade Runner and had her cybernetic back-braced repaired and recharged. Together the two Blade Runners tracked the escaped Replicants to the Off-World way-station of Ramanuja, a nexus point of a hundred trade routes. Ash and Hyde were then attacked by Pellam, leader of the rebel group who had stayed behind to kill anyone who followed them. Following a furious gun battle that saw the Replicant die, Hythe revealed to Ash that she was not working for the London Blade Runner division, but rather for a private individual who was revealed to be Isobel Selwyn. Ash had last seen Isobel mortally wounded on Earth when she had pleaded with Ash to take her daughter, Cleo, away from her father, Alexander Selwyn, and escape off world…
