J Constantine loses his leg in a freak ballet accident and with the compensation he builds a hotel and staffs it with his out-of-work performer mates. They have no idea what they're doing but it's a job so they're doing it anyway. Ballerinas as cleaners, opera singers masquerading as waiters, an eighty-piece orchestra tending the gardens and throw in a French magician, J's band of misfits are doing their best with what they've got - raw talent. When a plane carrying the a-list cast and crew of a new production crashes into a mountain, J realises his team has a chance of performing again. The producer of the show however, has other ideas, her cast were global stars not a bunch of out work actors. Can J win her over with his crazy idea? If he does, can the hotel keep running while the staff are in the theatre? Will J cope with not being able to dance? Who's coming to the rescue? Will this all come together?This book is a study in mayhem and magic, of learning on the run and finding a reason for getting up each morning. It's about friendships and love, it's about hospitality, taking care of each other and building a community around a common theme. It is also about performance and the love for theatre and everything that entails.

The Magnolia State is a rogue's gallery of thieves and murderers, beginning with the nation's first serial killers: the Harpe brothers. The passage of time has transformed some of these rogues into folk heroes, like "King of the Train Robbers" Rube Barrow and Texas Red, Franklin County's African American outlaw. In these pages, Jesse James struts into Corinth, the Mississippi Mafia calls the shots in Biloxi and a former newspaper editor kills the mayor of Jackson. The "Casanova Killer" stalks his prey, and Ouida Keaton and Ruth Thompson off their mothers. From river pirates to highwaymen, train robbers and the all-out vile, Alan Brown serves up a rundown of the most atrocious figures in state history. --

From the early 1960s to the late 1980s, George Mackay Brown wrote new Christmas poems which were printed on cards sent to his close family or friends, or, as the years went on, he designed his own cards, commissioning art from friends and family and again including original verse compositions. This book reproduces all the known cards, the majority of which were found in the possession of his niece living in Stromness, George's home town throughout most of his life. They are a complete delight and will be a must for all of Mackay Brown's numerous and devoted followers. But they also open a door into this remarkable man's life which will have an appeal to an audience far beyond the shores of Orkney at Christmas time.

Former British Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown believes the international financial crisis can be reversed, but that the world's leaders must work together if we are to avoid a decade of lost jobs and low growth. Brown speaks both as someone who was in the room driving discussions that led to some crucial decisions, and as an expert renowned for his financial acumen. No one who had Brown's access has written about the crisis yet, and no one has written so convincingly about what the global community must do next in order to climb out of this abyss. As he sees it, the crisis was brought on not simply by technical failings, but by ethical failings too. He argues that markets need morals, and suggests that the only way to truly ensure that the world economy does not flounder again is to institute a banking constitution and a global growth plan.--From publisher description.

Ours is a nation in the grip of a strange kind of mania. Why after President Reagan was shot was there virtually no handgun legislation? Why after the Columbine massacre in Littleton, Colorado, was nothing done to regulate the tools that children most frequently use to kill one another? Why was there no legislative response after a six-year-old in Flint, Michigan, shot a classmate with a .32 caliber "pocket rocket"? Tragedy follows tragedy, with twelve children shot dead every day in America, but guns remain less regulated than automobiles. Why? As authors Peter Harry Brown and Daniel G. Abel in this powerful book demonstrate, it is because of the terrible power of the gun coalition. Outgunned begins with the story of Wendell Gauthier, the "master of disaster" attorney, who brought down the tobacco industry to the tune of billions and then turned his attention to guns. He struck fear into the hearts of the gun manufacturers as he set out to make gunmakers bear some liability for the killings caused by the often poorly made, inaccurate handguns they marketed to criminals. Coauthor Daniel G. Abel worked for Gauthier, along with other attorneys, as the gun-control campaign gathered momentum. This legal initiative seemed to be about to make history and change the face of violence in America, but sadly, Wendell Gauthier died of cancer before meaningful gun control could be established. More than thirty class-action suits against gun manufacturers now languish in courtroom paralysis while as many Saturday night specials as ever are being made. What happened? Brown and Abel demonstrate how the pro-gun forces once again curbed the will of a nation. This book shows the enomous power of the NRA -- how it killed pending legislation in Congress, hijacked the Campaign Act to fund the George W. Bush presidential election victory, and eviscerated the American Shooting Sports Council. That association and the gun manufacturers actually wanted to compromise and agree to new handgun laws, implicitly accepting some liability, but the NRA leadership, with Charlton Heston as their president, crushed them. In Outgunned, Brown and Abel uncover how NRA lobbyists were instrumental in stopping Smith & Wesson in its tracks. They show how the tendrils of the NRA reach into the Christian Alliance and Republican Party, and how men like John McCain have fought back and been undermined. Outgunned reveals how the NRA began dealing with President George W. Bush when he was still governor of Texas -- prodding him into signing a shocking prohibition against the kind of suits Gauthier brought against the gun manufacturers. Outgunned is the story of a legal crusade with up-close accounts of the people who fought every step of the way. For those who believe in the importance of stopping unnecessary bloodshed, this book is essential, powerful, and urgent.

Current scientific knowledge is frequently presented with a bias indicating science and religion are contradictory. This relatively recent phenomenon is despite widespread belief in a creator God being part of the history of humankind. With the incredible modern-era scientific advances, humans now seem determined to chase after and trust in material existence, simultaneously relegating God to an irrelevant status in relation to science. The Model of Everything-A Divine Universe presents a robust model, demonstrating there is no contradiction-the myth of contradiction is dispelled.To address this myth, the hypothesis that science and a belief in a creator God (as presented in the Bible) are entirely complementary and interdependent is presented. The hypothesis is defended via a model based on a creator God being fully compatible with and supported by valid science. The model demonstrates that science and religion are a continuum to understanding our material and immaterial existence-establishing a comprehensive and functional worldview. Our hypothesis''s underlying assumption is that if God created the universe, science should allow us to discern his presence in nature. Furthermore, in discerning his presence in nature, we see his grandeur, and he teaches us about our physical and spiritual existence.Using extraordinary-and sometimes bizarre-phenomena revealed through physics, a concept to account for humanity''s spiritual presence within the material world is developed. Notably, the concept identifies how humanity has a relationship with God-unleashing the potential for spiritual growth.With the model in hand, the reader-the most discerning "instrument" in existence-is equipped to test the model''s accuracy and relevance. A fundamental assumption is that humanity, as part of God''s created universe, is the critical factor in scientific discovery and, indeed, reality.With an understanding of the model, the reader gains a worldview that fully embraces science and religion and dispels the myth. They are not contradictory. The reader becomes the scientist and develops a formula for cherishing life as a creation of God, knowing their purpose and meaning in life, and believing in an existence beyond the material world.
