Dr. Tyson Ross, a radiologist who owes his education to his country, comes home to Texas. The doctors of Memorial Hospital are doing well, but not well enough for some. There is more money to be made, if only they had their own hospital. They don't trust anyone in town to lead them but Dennis Colliera doctor from one of the old, landed families and, best of all, one of their own. Having tracked terrorists in military intelligence, Ty senses trouble and is appalled by the greed. So are Dr. Mark Russo, considered an outsider by many but like a father to Ty, and Sue Ann McGinley, the lovely but married woman who fascinates Ty more than he can admit. The doctors need a truckload of money and Collier raises it. Then, after ground is broken, he commits an unspeakable act of betrayal. The money is gone and Collier with it. Many in the town will be ruined. The doctors can't turn to the local authorities and they all know why. Determined not to be drawn in and with feelings he cant afford to explore, Ty moves to Dallas, leaving behind the outrage, the rumors and, reluctantly, Sue Ann. Then a series of break-ins occur back in Lubbock. Mark and the citys finest are on a not-so-legal hunt for Collier and the money trail leads to Hollywood. But making the traitor talk without violating the Hippocratic Oath? When a doctor knows not, he shall call in a colleagueone with the Skills of Another.

Two-Edged Sword

The Navy as an Instrument of Canadian Foreign Policy

By: Nicholas Tracy

In the first major study of the Royal Canadian Navy's contribution to foreign policy, Nicholas Tracy takes a comprehensive look at the paradox that Canada faces in participating in a system of collective defence as a means of avoiding subordination to other countries. Created in 1910 to support Canadian autonomy, the Royal Canadian Navy has played an important role in defining Canada's relationship with the United Kingdom, the United States, and NATO. Initially involved with participation in Imperial and Commonwealth defence, the RCN's role shifted following the Second World War to primarily ensuring the survival of the NATO alliance and deflecting American influence over Canada. Tracy demonstrates the ways in which the Navy's priorities have realigned since the end of the Cold War, this time partnering with the US and NATO navies in global policing. Insightful, detailed, and grounded in solid historical scholarship, A Two-Edged Sword presents a complete portrait of the shifting relevance and future of a cornerstone of Canadian defence.

Master & Madman

The Surprising Rise and Disastrous Fall of the Hon Anthony Lockwood RN

By: Nicolas Tracy

Anthony Lockwoods story is at the heart of the Georgian Navy though the man himself has never taken centre stage in its history. His naval career described by himself as twenty five years incessant peregrination followed a somewhat erratic course but almost exactly spanned the period of the French wars and the War of 1812. Lockwood was commended for bravery in action against the French; was present at the Spithead Mutiny; shipwrecked and imprisoned in France; appointed master attendant of the naval yard at Bridgetown, Barbados, during the year the slave trade was abolished; and served as an hydrographer before beginning his three-year marine survey of Nova Scotia and the Bay of Fundy. Against the odds he managed to finesse a treasury appointment as Surveyor General of New Brunswick and became the right hand man of the Governor, General Smyth. Deeply ingrained in his character, however, was a democratic determination that was out of step with the authoritarian character of the Navy and the aristocratic one of New Brunswick. His expectation of social justice verged on madness, and when he finally succumbed to lunacy it was in the defence of democracy. The turbulence of the times inspired Lockwood to stage a one-man coup detat which ended with him being jailed and shipped back to London to live out his days as a pensioner and mental patient. Truly a dramatic rise and a tragic fall.

The Merit of Our Mothers

A Bilingual Anthology of Jewish Women's Prayers

The Merit of Our Mothers

A Bilingual Anthology of Jewish Women's Prayers

By: Tracy G Klirs

For many centuries Jewish prayer was so dominated by its male creators and male readers that the Jewish woman's role in prayer seems to have been all but obliterated. Yet Jewish women have always prayed and, before prayer became standardized into a formal liturgy, Israelite women offered up spontaneous petitions and hymns to God as freely as did men. While they may not have been able to help constitute a minyan, and while many did not know Hebrew or Aramaic, women produced and used material for prayer at home. The Yiddish tkhines had its origin in a form of supplicatory prayer in the Talmud, whose original intent was to allow for individual private devotion during the standard prayer service. The private Yiddish prayers and devotions for Jewish women continued to use this term. They emerged in the world of premodern Ashkenazic Jewry and represent one of the richest and least-known forms of Jewish religious literature. Because modern sensibility seemed to reject them, and because Yiddish was quickly forgotten by second and third generation Jews in the West, they have been sadly neglected. Although a few have been individually translated into English, this is the first bilingual anthology ever to appear. The prayers in this volume are characterized by a highly personal and intimate style and mark occasions in the religious calendar, such as the Tkhine for the Blessing of the New Moon, as well as occasions in the life of a woman, such as the Tkhine for a Mother who Leads Her Child to Kheyder for the First Time. The tkhines are of great appeal and value to those who wish to hear the voices of Jewish women in history, study Yiddish literature and culture, or create new expressions of spirituality.
