Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A witty collection of essays from the best writers club in Florida. These writers make the Algonquin Round Table look like a bunch of dead people. Topics include: Terrorists and the World Trade Towers on 9-11; Time Travel; How to avoid the police and the police state; New York's Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire; Skippy & the Pledge of Allegiance; Economics 101; She Was Temperamental; the Crucifix. The author Ian Tinny is also the author of the groundbreaking book “Pledge of Allegiance & Swastika Secrets.” It is a semi-biographical work about the nation’s leading authority on the Pledge of Allegiance and his many discoveries, including: (1) that the USA's Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was the origin of the Nazi salute and Nazi behavior; and (2) that the swastika, although an ancient symbol, was also used to represent crossed "S" letters for "socialism" under Nazism (the National Socialist German Workers Party). Tinny explains revelations unearthed from the archival work of historian Dr. Rex Curry. “Drug Detection Dog Training – Libertarian Lawyers Fight Police State USA,” is another book by Tinny.

Rex Curry BFFs Analects

Dead Writers Club & the Pointer Institute for Media Studies

By: Ian Tinny,Rex Curry

A witty collection of essays and poetry from the longest-running writer's group in Florida: the Dead Writers Club (and the Pointer Institute for Media Studies). They make the Algonquin Round Table look like a bunch of dead people. Topics include: Training Yard Lizards (Anoles); Community Bicycles; Woodman, Spare That $10 Tree; Tree Laws Kill Trees; How To Avoid Police (& Police States); Martin Niemoller & Guns; Nazis & Not-Sees; The USSR & Soviet Socialism; Capitalist Pearls; More on Democracy & Dumbocracy (Poetry); Skippy and the Pledge of Allegiance. Wait, there's more! The author Ian Tinny provides bonus material explaining the work of the historian Dr. Rex Curry, including: (1) the USA's Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was the origin of the Nazi salute and Nazi behavior; and (2) the swastika, although an ancient symbol, was also used to represent crossed "S" letters for "socialism" under Nazism (the National Socialist German Workers Party). Tinny and his assistants collect old photos and film footage of the early Pledge of Allegiance showing the origin of the notorious stiff-armed salute. The Nazi salute was performed by public officials in the USA from 1892 through 1942. What happened to old photographs and films of the American Nazi salute performed by federal, state, county, and local officials? Those photos and films are rare because people don't want to know the truth about the government’s past. Public officials in the USA who preceded the German socialist (Hitler) and the Italian socialist (Mussolini) were sources for the stiff-armed salute (and robotic chanting) in those countries and other foreign countries. See how Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts helped spread the Nazi salute and the swastika to Germany and elsewhere. Discover how the military salute was the origin of the Nazi salute. The author Ian Tinny resides in Key West, Florida, for most of the year, with his dog and his cat, overlooking the water. "Drug Detection Dog Training - Libertarian Lawyers Fight Police State USA," is another book by Tinny. Tinny is also the author of the groundbreaking book "Pledge of Allegiance & Swastika Secrets.

"The Sins of Madame Eglentyne", and Other Essays on Chaucer

By: Richard Rex

The essays in this single-author collection are principally concerned with Madame Eglentyne, the demure and elegant prioress depicted in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Richard Rex contends that how we think about Chaucer as a Christian depends largely on our interpretation of the Prioress's Tale, which in turn is linked to the brilliant portrait of Madame Eglentyne in the General Prologue.

People of The Pear Tree

By: Rex Shelley

In People of the Pear Tree, Rex Shelley weaves two love stories of Eurasians in the torrid, tropical heat again the background of Japanese-occupied Singapore and Malaya during World War II, spicing his narrative with humour, intrigue and the ring of guerrilla gunshots on the fringes of the Malayan jungle. People of the Pear Tree is about people reacting to the disruptions and the brutality of war, clinging to traditions, family ties, finding outlets of love and passionate sex as starvation, malaria, dysentery, torture and death stalk them; of courage in battle and of gentle tenderness, sentimentality, and racial prejudices

A River of Roses

By: Rex Shelley

Meet Philippa Rosario. She’s 56 and feisty, a junior college teacher who dabbles in the Chinese zodiac, confident that she has all human nature taped. Enter once again, Vicky Viera, mellowed by a tragic past. Together, they weave the threads of a spell-binding odyssey spanning four generations of the Rosario family—from the raging Alfonso and clairvoyant Antonio, to Ignatius, a spirited hormone-driven teenager. In this novel, Rex Shelley introduces a host of memorable multi-hued characters: the cheroot-smoking, wine-swigging padre, the contractor unlucky in love yet ending up with all the aces, the clarinet player whose religion and passions are at odds with each other. The Eurasians of his other novels are also present—every one of them firmly bound by the fate that history and the Chinese zodiac have reserved for them

The Evolution of Competition Law in New Zealand

The Evolution of Competition Law in New Zealand

By: Rex Ahdar

The modern era of competition law in New Zealand began with the Commerce Act 1986. Since then, a steady and impressive corpus of case law had traversed all the usual major areas of antitrust law: cartels, resale price maintenance, exclusive dealing, tying, group boycotts, monopolization, mergers and acquisitions, exempted sectors, and the role of economic evidence. This volume explains the rationale for the various major reforms, the ongoing contestation between the Harvard and Chicago Schools of antitrust, and traces the developments of key concepts over the last 34 years. This title also explores systemic issues such as how well has New Zealand moulded its own competition law whilst nonetheless selectively drawing upon the policies, case law, and wisdom of foreign jurisdictions; how effectively has it faced the challenge of adapting its fledgling competition law to the reality of being a small, deregulated, open, and distant economy; and how successful was the application of competition law to utilities in the experimental era of 'light handed regulation'. Written by a New Zealand competition expert, this detailed, original, and comprehensive chronicle of New Zealand's competition law and policy draws together the common threads that mark the modern era and offers some predictions about how the next decades of New Zealand competition law might unfold.

Roadside Kansas

A Traveler's Guide to Its Geology and Landmarks. Second Edition, Revised and Updated

By: Rex C. Buchanan,James R. McCauley

Two decades after its first publication, Roadside Kansas remains the premier guide to the geology, natural resources, landmarks, and landscapes along nine of the Sunflower State's major highways. During that span, however, many aspects of the Kansas landscape changed: the growth of some towns and near disappearance of others, the expansion of highways, the development of industry. Even the rocks themselves changed in places as erosion took its relentless toll. More broadly, there have been changes in the science of geology. This new edition reflects all of these changes and thoroughly updates the previous edition in ways that reinforce its preeminent status. Covering more than 2,600 miles, Buchanan and McCauley organize their book by highway and milepost markers, so that modern-day explorers can follow the road logs easily, learning about the land as they travel through the state. Featuring more than 100 photographs, drawings, and maps, the book also provides deft descriptions of fascinating contemporary and historical features to be seen all across Kansas. Especially in an economic era that has encouraged all of us to travel closer to home, the new edition is sure to be a hit with families from Kansas and the region who decide to explore and learn more about the state and its distinctive wonders. They'll discover what Buchanan and McCauley have known for a long time: Kansas highways provide much more than passage to Colorado or some other state. They are destinations in their own right.

The Tampines Tiger and Other Stories

By: Norman Williams & Rex Kearns

Here lie the memoirs of Ponsenby who has a great propensity for being in the wrong place at the wrong time - thereby seeing, hearing and experiencing so much and all with a difference. He travels through history and time, across vastly differing landscapes and delves into the most mysterious places of all... human endeavour, beliefs, culture and society. Ponsenby is a British-Indian medic – or sawbones as he describes himself – a livelihood that perceives both the serious and sombre perspectives on life, and always with a wry twist of humour. Oh, and another place to go: contemplation and reflection – “And a beautiful sadness filled our hearts. And because we could not leave it, the sadness slowly and inexorably turned into compassion. We felt the sorrow of the whole world, of little frightened children, of the blind, the halt and the lame, and of those separated from their loved ones...”

An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of States

How Taxes, Energy, and Worker Freedom Change Everything

By: Arthur B. Laffer,Stephen Moore,Rex A. Sinquefield,Travis H. Brown

A passionate, detailed, quantified argument for state-level tax reform An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of States explains why eliminating or lowering tax burdens at the state level leads to economic growth and wealth creation. A passionate argument for tax reform, the book shows that even states with small populations can benefit enormously with the right policies. The authors’ detailed exposition evaluates the impact state and local government policies have on a state’s relative performance and economic growth overall, backed up with economic data and analysis. Facts don’t lie. But they do point clearly to the failure of so-called progressive tax schemes designed more to curry favor with selected constituencies than to create an economic system that leads to individual wealth as the reward for hard work and entrepreneurial risk taking. An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of States is a detailed and critical look at income taxation across the nation, and drills down into an analysis of the economic growth or malaise that results from tax policy. Arguing eloquently that a state cannot tax itself into prosperity, just as the impoverished cannot spend themselves into wealth, the authors point out what many inherently know but often fear to say out loud. The book provides detailed quantitative analysis, and discusses the policy variables that can have enormous effects on the financial well-being of states and individual residents, such as: Personal and corporate income tax rates Total tax burden as a percentage of personal income Estate and inheritance taxes Right-to-work laws An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of States shows everyone how to evaluate state-level fiscal and economic policies to become more competitive.

“I want every player in the National Football League to want to play for the Jets, and I want every coach in the league to want to coach for the Jets, and we’re well on our way.” —Rex Ryan Since Rex Ryan was made head coach of the New York Jets in 2009, his infectious energy and love of the game have made him one of the best-known coaches in the NFL. Play Like You Mean It invites readers behind the scenes of the NFL from Rex’s days coaching the Baltimore Ravens and Arizona Cardinals, to his acceptance of the head coach position for the Jets, to mentoring Mark Sanchez as he transformed from a young USC grad to a seasoned QB, to all the thrilling, controversial ups and downs of the Jets’ 2010 season. With his characteristic frankness and exuberance, Rex reveals his philosophy of life, both on the field and off, and shares colorful stories of growing up with twin brother Rob (now the Dallas Cowboys’ defensive coordinator), and their father, legendary NFL coach Buddy Ryan.

It's Hard for Me to Live with Me

A Memoir

By: Rex Chapman,Seth Davis

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A powerful memoir from the University of Kentucky basketball legend, NBA veteran, and social media influencer about his recovery from addiction. He is considered by many the greatest basketball player ever produced by the hoops-crazy state of Kentucky. In two years at the University of Kentucky, he scored over 1,000 points, led the Wildcats to a Sweet Sixteen appearance and was nicknamed “King Rex.” The first player ever drafted by the Charlotte Hornets, he spent twelve seasons in the NBA, dazzling in dunk contests and sinking one of the most memorable buzzer-beaters in league history. But by the end of his career, Rex Chapman was harboring a destructive secret. Years before America’s opioid crisis would become national news, Chapman developed a dependency on Vicodin and Oxycontin, ultimately ingesting fifty painkillers a day. In addition, he developed a severe gambling addiction, once nearly losing $400,000 at a Las Vegas blackjack table. All this would cost him his family as well as most of the $40 million fortune he’d made in basketball, leaving him to live in his car and shoplift to support his addictions. Only when he was arrested—and his mugshot made national news—did he finally commit to getting clean. In It’s Hard for Me to Live With Me, Chapman—who has amassed millions of social media followers for his relatable and uplifting posts—tells the story of his addiction and recovery in unflinching detail. With equal frankness, he describes his history with depression; the racism he witnessed growing up and how that shaped his outspokenness on matters of social justice; and his complex and volatile relationship with his father, also a former professional basketball player. Cowritten with New York Times bestselling author Seth Davis, Chapman’s memoir is an equally devastating and inspiring story about the human struggle for self-acceptance.

Rex Weyler’s Voice of the Galilean stands as one of the most clear, compelling, and concise tellings of the life and teachings of Jesus ever written.

Malibu Med and the Sweet Smell of Money

By: C. Rex Sartorius

Gene therapy has inundated Malibu, California, bringing opposition, competition, and the sweet smell of money to everyone at the local medical\ school. Dr. Ahmed Adams, known as Medi to his coworkers, is a junior faculty member at Malibu Med, home to lucrative trials of designer drugs to combat cancer and aging. As Medi works his way through racks of cages and meticulously counts the dead, he realizes the day of reckoning has arrived. Medi thinks he is on his way. With all his hopes of realizing success, fame, and fortune pinned on a study sponsored by Ahlus Inc., a local biotech company, Medi willingly serves as a corporate puppet, even though every woman he meets is more interested in the results of his study than in him. Everything is on the line for Medi and the company that has gambled its future on the outcome of the trials and FDA approval. But when animal rights activists sabotage the testing at Malibu Med, the trial and Ahlus are propelled into a crisis. In this medical thriller, time will tell if Medi is the culprit or the victim of a far-reaching assault by competitors. As his career and the survival of the company hang in the balance, one certainty remains - the truth is the last thing anyone wants to see revealed.

The basis for the 2004 comedy-drama road movie of the same name starring Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church. Sideways is the story of two friends-Miles and Jack-going away together for the last time to steep themselves in everything that makes it good to be young and single: pinot, putting, and prowling bars. In the week before Jack plans to marry, the pair heads out from Los Angeles to the Santa Ynez wine country. For Jack, the tasting tour is Seven Days to D-Day, his final stretch of freedom. For Miles--who has divorced his wife, is facing an uncertain career and has lost his passion for living-the trip is a week long opportunity to evaluate his past, his future and himself.

Discrete Mathematics Using a Computer

By: John O'Donnell,Cordelia Hall,Rex Page

Computer science abounds with applications of discrete mathematics, yet s- dents of computer science often study discrete mathematics in the context of purely mathematical applications. They have to ?gure out for themselves how to apply the ideas of discrete mathematics to computing problems. It is not easy. Most students fail to experience broad success in this enterprise, which is not surprising, since many of the most important advances in science and engineeringhavebeen, precisely, applicationsofmathematicstospeci?cscience and engineering problems. Tobesure,mostdiscretemathtextbooksincorporatesomeaspectsapplying discrete math to computing, but it usually takes the form of asking students to write programs to compute the number of three-ball combinations there are in a set of ten balls or, at best, to implement a graph algorithm. Few texts ask students to use mathematical logic to analyze properties of digital circuits or computer programs or to apply the set theoretic model of functions to understand higher-order operations. A major aim of this text is to integrate, tightly, the study of discrete mathematics with the study of central problems of computer science.

Life Could be a Dream

A Meditation on Life and Death in the Fifties

By: Henry Rex Greene

The summer of 1954 begins a pivotal year in nine-year-old Robby Barnaby’s life. On the last day of school, he breaks his arm sliding into home plate while playing for the fifth graders in an all-star game against the sixth graders. Baseball is his passion, and Robby excels at it, though he is younger than his classmates. He lives in a new suburb of Los Angeles called Watertown, an idyllic childhood spot with open fields and well-equipped schoolyards. He and his older brother Cyrus are entrepreneurs, trading coins and selling newspapers. In addition, he works for his teacher, Miss Oliver. He has two younger brothers, six-year-old Stanley, who is frail and sickly, and Glyndon, who turns four in December. On their annual vacation on Balboa Island, he learns his family is moving to a city across L.A. that offers little for kids to do. Before the move, his mother dies from surgery, leaving him in the care of his abusive father. Everything in life has become so unreal that Robby dreams of his dead mother. Miss Oliver offers to adopt him, but his father refuses. His new home is a chicken ranch in Orcutt Park, a town with no baseball and a brutal junior high. Robby and Cyrus are miserable, and their younger brothers are lost without their mom. What will happen to these boys?

The Roman Book

By: Rex Winsbury

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Roman Book

By: Rex Winsbury

What was a Roman book? How did it differ from modern books? How were Roman books composed, published and distributed during the high period of Roman literature that encompassed, among others, Virgil, Horace, Ovid, Martial, Pliny and Tacitus? What was the ‘scribal art’ of the time? What was the role of bookshops and libraries? The publishing of Roman books has often been misrepresented by false analogies with contemporary publishing. This wide-ranging study re-examines, by appeal to what Roman authors themselves tell us, both the raw material and the aesthetic criteria of the Roman book, and shows how slavery was the ‘enabling infrastructure’ of literature. Roman publishing is placed firmly in the context of a society where the spoken still ranked above the written, helping to explain how some books and authors became politically dangerous and how the Roman book could be both an elite cultural icon and a contributor to Rome’s popular culture through the mass medium of the theatre.

Henry VIII and the English Reformation

By: Richard Rex

Abandoning the traditional narrative approach to the subject, Richard Rex presents an analytical account which sets out the logic of Henry VIII's shortlived Reformation. Starting with the fundamental matter of the royal supremacy, Rex goes on to investigate the application of this principle to the English ecclesiastical establishment and to the traditional religion of the people. He then examines the extra impetus and the new direction which Henry's regime gave to the development of a vernacular and literate devotional culture, and shows how, despite Henry's best intentions, serious religious divisions had emerged in England by the end of his reign. The study emphasises the personal role of Henry VIII in driving the Reformation process and how this process, in turn, considerably reinforced the monarch's power. This updated edition of a powerful interpretation of Henry VIII's Reformation retains the analytical edge and stylish lucidity of the original text while taking full account of the latest research. An important new chapter elucidates the way in which 'politics' and 'religion' interacted in early Tudor England.

Bolingbroke and France

By: Rex A. Barrell

This text is essentially a monograph, since a definitive work on the subject must await publication (already in hand) of Bolingbroke's complete correspondence. First, the reader is taken briefly through the different periods of Bolingbroke's life where his francophilic interests and activities are stressed. For example, attention is paid to his early training, his various visits to France, his involvement in European philosophical, historical and political movements, his relationships with French personalities including Voltaire, and his exile and death in France. Second, there is a detailed analysis of his philosophical, historical and political ideas with an attempt to assess his debt to France and his impact on French writers. The monograph concludes with a sample of critical opinion on both sides of the Channel from Bolingbroke's death to the present day, supporting the theory that he continues to have a substantial impact on European thought. Full notes, a detailed bibliography and an index of persons complete the study.
