Talk show host Morgan Knight is the perfect man. He is tall, handsome, charismatic, good in bed, and loves his co-host, Alexandra Hrenick. When Morgan Knight meets a boss he thinks has it in for him, he grows insecure in his ability to perform and takes to the bottle for stress relief. While he believes the liquor is helping him cope, it is really changing his personality and fueling his temper. The more he drinks, the meaner he becomes. Alexandra Hrenick is tall, blonde, above average in beauty, talent and IQ, and excels as a radio talk show host. Her angelic voice, quick wit, and bold personality has carried the duo to the top of the ratings and she could not be happier. She is where she wants to be, and she loves her co-host with all her heart. Alexandra has a big desire for collecting antiques, wearing designer clothing, and driving a luxury sports car. She has an even bigger desire for sex and her bedroom games fill the bill. Alexandra is the one person Morgan Knight will never be able to forget. Behind the curtain of popularity, the veil of humor, the cloak of showbiz, in the shadow of fame, hidden from the multitude of cheering fans, the phenomenal ratings and mammoth stardom, Alexandra Hrenick and Morgan Knight discover there is only one way to go: down. Their life is the stage, their dreams, successes and failures constitute the play, and when the curtain falls, they have only themselves to blame.

"In his deeply moving new collection, The Shape of Things to Come, John Blair offers us penetrating meditation on the Manhattan Project and its consequences, in terms both historically recuperative and, mindful of a cautionary anxiety, deeply psychological. Here the author borrows from a communal legacy of ancient story to situate the bomb, in spite and in light of its break with the past, as both an illumination of human nature and a shift of mythical scope and weight. In light of the new Zeitgeist and a threat as extreme as ever and yet faded from conversation, this book breathes new life into a much-needed public understanding."-Bruce Bond

Dick Dale & the Del-Tones began holding weekend dances at the Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa, California, in the summer of 1960. Over the next year and a half, Dale developed the sound and style that came to be known as "surf music." The result was the development of more powerful guitar amplifiers, a dramatic increase in the sales of Fender guitars and amplifiers, and a shift from New York to West Coast recording studios. More and more people were drawn to the sport of surfing, which became an important part of teen beach culture at the time. Even landlocked teenagers were captured by the moment, carrying surfboards atop their woodies in Phoenix or bleaching their hair blonde in St. Paul. For hundreds of thousands of kids, though, the attraction was not the connection to surfing; it was the connection to the music pioneered by Dick Dale.

Building Faith in God through Christ is the primary assignment of the body of Christ on this planet. The individual Christian is called to believe and love the Lord.A trip through the teachings of scripture and a review many doctrines within the American church indicate that Church is trying to meet the mission set down by Jesus, but some adjustments and reminders may help. A review of the distractions facing the faithful and what scripture says is in order. A long look at what unites the body of Christ across race, color, economic strata, geographic and political barriers is also long overdue. We must see the necessity of demonstrating the love of Christ to our brothers and sisters in the church as well as those on the outside.In Faith: An Interactive Pursuit by John Blair, we experience a call for a functional day-to-day paradigm shift in the Modern American Christian Church. This call is for the individual members of the Church to realize that Christianity is NOT a religion! It was never intended to be. It IS an entire lifestyle. There is rich meaning in the calling of Christ to follow his role model through love, compassion, peace, joy, and grace.

This interdisciplinary book - embracing archaeological and historical sources - uses new and unexpected evidence to explore the extent to which buildings, settlements, and field systems in Anglo-Saxon England were laid out using sophisticated surveying techniques. This included using geometrically precise grids, suggesting the revival of the techniques of the Roman land-surveyors.

By exploring the concept of the "tender gaze" in German film, theater, and literature, this volume's contributors illustrate how perspective-taking in works of art fosters empathy and prosocial behaviors.

This poetry collection takes the reader on a journey through life as it explores such subjects as marriage, family and sex. Written in several voices, from husband and wife, brother and sister, young and old, the poems remind us that paradise "doesn't invite us back".

Winner of the 2002 Drue Heniz Literature Prize, this collection contains short stories set mostly in central Florida, populated by people living lives of disquieting longing and stubborn isolation.

Ranges far into the intersections of faith and scientific thought. In poems that are either formally rhymed and metered or written in syllabically structured three-line stanzas, Blair wanders among universal orders and failures of desire, where the unlikeliness of any of us being who we are, what we are, where we are forces us to consider the possibilities of belief and meaning.
