This collection includes 150 letters Emily Carr wrote to her friends Nan Cheney and Humphrey Toms, and 100 other letters relating mainly to Emily Carr. The letters date from 1930 to 1945, the most prolific period in Carr's career as both painter and writer. In them she writes in colourful detail about her everyday activities, and discusses her painting - "the biggest thing in my life." There are outbursts of exasperation and anger as well as many indications of her caring, her warmth, her wisdom and her wit, and of her impatience with critics and poseurs, and they give insights into her various relationships with, among others, Lawren Harris, Ira Dilworth, Jack Shadbolt, Garnett Sedgewick, Dorothy Livesay, A.Y. Jackson, and Arthur Lismer.
The ancient slave mongers who killed the adults and enslaved the children have angered a more advanced species of aliens. Composed of pure energy, this superior race has attacked the Anunnaki home world and is now setting a course for Earth. The energy-based aliens believe in a system of trial by battle. They seek to push Shane and his friends into the arena with the ones who killed their parents. The results will determine if humans deserve to live, or if they should be made extinct as well. It's up to Shane to keep his friends—and an army of kids who look up to him—alive. They'll be fighting not just for their own lives, but for the fate of the entire human race. Can the enemy of Shane's enemy be his friend, or is this just another species determined to exploit and destroy them?

The Constitutional State provides an original analytical account of the state and its associated constitutional phenomena. It presents the state as a form of social group, consisting of people, territory and institutions bound together by rules. The institutions of the state make a distinctive and characteristic claim over the people of the state, who, in turn, have a distinctive and characteristic relationship with these institutions. This account reveals the importance of at least two forms of pluralism - legal and constitutional. It also casts light on some of the more difficult questions faced by writers on constitutions - such as the possibility of states undertaking actions and forming intentions, the moral significance of these actions for the people of the state, and the capacity of the state to carry responsibility for acts between generations.
An account of recent advances in the appreciation of the value of the fiber residue from fractionating leafy plants and in attempts to use the soluble leaf components as a substrate for cultivating microorganisms.
This volume provides an introduction to the United Kingdom's constitution that recognises and embraces its historical, social, political, and legal dimensions. It critically examines the radical changes to the UK constitution that have occurred over the last thirty years, paying particular attention to the revival of the constituent territories of the UK - Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and England - and to the increasing role played by the judges in constitutional disputes. The UK constitution is presented as being shaped by a set of constitutional principles, including state sovereignty, separation of powers, democracy, subsidiarity, and the rule of law, principles which set the overall structure of the constitution and inform statutes and the decisions of judges. Adopting a principled approach to the UK constitution allows us to see both the clarity of the constitution's structure and also helps explain its complexities.
Whether you're an old horror movie fan, or just a fan of old horror movies, "Thriller Theatre" host Margali has a treat for you: a potent brew of vintage tales distilled from many a fine old author. It's a stimulating collection of stories from which many a classic -- and even not-so-classic -- fright film has drawn inspiration, including such rarities as a terror tale reprinted here for the first time in over seventy years!
Digging up old acquaintances for an evening's entertainment is a favorite pastime for your THRILLER THEATRE host Margali, so you're certain to enjoy the splendid company you'll find unearthed here, Couch Pumpkin. There are werewolves, mummies and vampires, to be sure -- and a charmingly international cast, from Russian tales that inspired Italian terrors, to a French fright-fable of madness and possession, to proper British chillers that unleash Egyptian curses -- or inspire Japanese monsters! There's even a positively "ripping" yarn in the original short story which preceded its later novelization. (We're strictly old-school when it comes to slashers, brave heart.) So if the only good thing on the telly tonight is your cat, just turn down the lights and enter your own private THRILLER THEATRE. It's showtime for those lovely NIGHTMARES THAT LEFT A FILM.

In the wake of the apocalypse, nobody is safe. Shane Tucker and his friends thought they managed to save the world from the destructive machine that killed off most of its adult population. Unfortunately, a war nobody was prepared for has only just begun. Now they find themselves joining ranks with a secret organization that will train them to fight for the right to survive. Taking refuge alongside other teenage survivors in a hidden base set deep within the mountains, they will learn how to repel an imminent attack by an ancient race of aliens.
