Julie thinks it is her fate that she meets her holiday flirt again after some years and falls in love with him straight away. Mighty Dread, a Rastaman, takes the chance to escape the poverty of Jamaica and follows Julie 'to foreign', where he believes the streets are paved with gold. After initial enthusiasm he must realise that money in foreign doesn't come easy, at least not legally. He steals her money and goes back to Jamaica where he plays the rich guy coming home as the Don. He fails to reckon with Julie's adamant will to get even with him. She pursues him to Jamaica to find justice and revenge. He goes on the run but wherever he goes Julie follows. At last he returns to Jamaica to stand his ground in his own beloved island and to fight back, but Julie has found an ally and soon she must decide if vengeance is worth a man's life.

Re-Imagining the Bible for Today

By: Anna-Claar Thomasson-Rosingh,Sigrid Coenradie ,Bert Dicou

The early 21st century has seen an unexpected rise of new or rediscovered ways of reading the Bible, both in academic circles and in churches, with surprising results. These ancient texts appear to have a message that resonates with discussions in society at large. This textbook seeks to reclaim the Bible for a Christianity that is open to society and keen on participating in conversation about today's major issues; a Christianity that is relevant to the personal spirituality of people who aren't too sure what to believe and how to exercise faith.

Granta 147

40th-Birthday Special

By: Sigrid Rausing

In 1979, Bill Buford, a young American graduate, revived an old Cambridge university magazine and created a new home for good writing of all kinds - reportage, fiction, memoir, poetry - as well as photography. In the years (and decades) that followed, Granta established itself as the one of the most prestigious literary publications in the English-speaking world. In that time Granta has published 26 Nobel Prize for Literature winners, defined new literary genres and paved the way for generations of young novelists. To celebrate forty years of brilliant publishing, Granta 147 brings together our best fiction and non-fiction from the last four decades, along with a selection of letters from behind the scenes. This will be a collector's issue and is not to be missed. Featuring... Angela Carter Kazuo Ishiguro Todd McEwen Bruce Chatwin James Fenton Primo Levi Amitav Ghosh Raymond Carver Philip Roth John Gregory Dunne Ryszard Kapuscinski Joy Williams Don DeLillo John Berger Gabriel Garca Mrquez Bill Buford Lindsey Hilsum Lorrie Moore Hilary Mantel Ian Jack Edward Said Diana Athill Edmund White Ved Mehta Alexandra Fuller Binyavanga Wainaina Mary Gaitskill Lydia Davis Jeanette Winterson Herta Mller

Compounds with Rare Gases and Hydrogen

By: Jörn v. Jouanne,Vera Haase,Hannelore Keller-Rudek,Dieter Koschel,Peter Kuhn,Peter Merlet,Ulrike Ohms-Bredemann,Joachim Wagner,Hildegard List,Astrid Wietelmann,Sigrid Ruprecht,Carol Strametz

Some years ago the Gmelin Institute started to supplement the volumes on halogens and halogen compounds. For the elements chlorine and fluorine these supplementary volumes have already been finished. For the element bromine the volume A 1 is also available. Now the volume B 1 will be published starting with the description of the compounds of bromine. The present volume describes the compounds of bromine with rare gases and with hydrogen. The volume is dominated by the description of HBr and its aqueous solution, hydrobromic acid. Chemical and physical properties of the diatomic molecule HBr are extremely well studied by modern methods. Thus detailed descriptions are given of gas-phase properties, spectra, and properties of condensed phases. Emphasis is laid on elementary reaction processes such as energy transfer and single reaction steps for HBr formation and decomposition. These studies have become classics of modern reaction kinetics. Likewise, elementary reactions of HBr and Br- with nonmetallic compounds are described comprehensively.

Binary Species of Silicon and Fluorine

By: Friedrich Schröder,Edwin Hengge,Robert Schlögl,Claudia Heinrich-Sterzel,Peter Merlet,Jörn v. Jouanne,Hans Schäfer,Alfred Pebler,Sigrid Ruprecht,Dag Schiöberg,Joachim Wagner

The volume is concerned exclusively with all the binary species formed between the elements silicon and fluorine such as SiF, SiF2, SiF3, SiF4, and Sif62-. Most of the volume, i.e. 144 pages, is devoted to the description of the well known physical and chemical properties of the SiF4 as well as to its preparation. This is followed in length by the report on SiF2 with its interesting chemistry, along with a section on the diatomic radical SiF. Species with fivefold and sixfold coordination of silicon are exemplified by SiF5- and by the well known SiF62-. Interestingly, the detailed models for describing the bonding situation in both ions are still a matter of discussion. While for Si2F6 most of the basic data are known, information on the chemical and physical properties of the higher members of the acylic perfluorosilanes, SinF2n+2, is scarce. All available information on the unstable cyclic perfluorosilanes of composition (SiF2)n and some even more exotic species is also included.
