Book excerpt: Two intriguing murder mysteries in one. Lawrence Treman, the son of a wealthy British barrister, is sent by his father to a ranch in Kansas to 'toughen him up'. Lawrence reluctantly obeys his father's wishes under the threat of losing his inheritance, but is aggrieved to leave behind the love of his life, Estelle Lavine. The year is 1874 and the Civil War in America has long since finished, but not the day of the gunman in the untamed West. During his stay on the ranch, a number of cowboys are butchered under mysterious circumstances. The owner calls in an agent from the Pinkerton Detective Agency to try and solve the mystery. Lawrence falls under immediate suspicion because the killings did not start until he arrived at the ranch. As if that is not enough, detectives from Scotland Yard are called in to investigate a series of murders in Hertfordshire, Lawrence's home county in England. When the bodies are discovered on his father's estate, Lawrence again falls under suspicion there, the police accusing his father of sending him away to the Americas to avoid the clutches of the police. He is ordered to return to Britain by his father to answer the charges facing him there, but is shocked to learn that this will not be possible as his son is due to be hung in Kansas for the murder of the cowboys. In the meantime Estelle, the love of Lawrence's life, is being forced against her will to marry someone else.... Can Lawrence escape the hangman in the States and face the music back home? A taut thriller from the pen of Alex Binney.

Download or read book Aristotle s Nicomachean Ethics written by Aristotle and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nicomachean Ethics is one of Aristotle’s most widely read and influential works. Ideas central to ethics—that happiness is the end of human endeavor, that moral virtue is formed through action and habituation, and that good action requires prudence—found their most powerful proponent in the person medieval scholars simply called “the Philosopher.” Drawing on their intimate knowledge of Aristotle’s thought, Robert C. Bartlett and Susan D. Collins have produced here an English-language translation of the Ethics that is as remarkably faithful to the original as it is graceful in its rendering. Aristotle is well known for the precision with which he chooses his words, and in this elegant translation his work has found its ideal match. Bartlett and Collins provide copious notes and a glossary providing context and further explanation for students, as well as an introduction and a substantial interpretive essay that sketch central arguments of the work and the seminal place of Aristotle’s Ethics in his political philosophy as a whole. The Nicomachean Ethics has engaged the serious interest of readers across centuries and civilizations—of peoples ancient, medieval, and modern; pagan, Christian, Muslim, and Jewish—and this new edition will take its place as the standard English-language translation.
Download or read book Who in Your World Are You written by Berttran Turner Jr. and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2019-04-29 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characterology, the study of who we are, will help you evaluate interpersonal relationships and make sensible decisions to manage and improve them. To make such strides, you must seek to understand character, which is a scalpel that cuts to the core of all animal interaction. In this analysis, the author (who wrote this book to save his marriage) identifies two character types: Bush and Gentle. They react with other human components to determine how we interact. The Gentle character seeks to glean value from the most negative of situations and feels bound to give an honest effort to improve the whole. In the industrial setting, the Gentle worker does the lion’s share of the work, while the Bush person gets the praise and promotions. This isn't to say that one is good and the other bad, but they are two different things, each having different attributes. To get along, they must understand each other. Take important steps to improving relationships by understanding yourself and others with the insights in this book.
Download or read book Analytical Literal Translation of the Old Testament Septuagint Volume Three The Poetic Books written by Gary F. Zeolla and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Analytical-Literal Translation of the Old Testament (Septuagint): Volume III: The Poetic Books (ALT) is a companion to the Analytical-Literal Translation of the New Testament. Both are translated by Gary F. Zeolla (www.Zeolla.org). The ALT: Old Testament is available in five volumes. Most Old Testaments are based on the Hebrew text. But this Old Testament (OT) is based on the Greek Septuagint (LXX). The LXX is a third century B.C. Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible. The name and abbreviation comes from the tradition that 70 (or 72) Jewish scholars worked on its translation, six from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. The importance of the LXX is that it was THE Bible of the early Church. The purpose of the ALT is to provide a translation of the Greek Septuagint that will enable the reader to come as close to the Greek text as possible without having to be proficient in Greek.

Download or read book RANTing OUt The Devil written by K. M. Hill and published by Chipmunkapublishing ltd. This book was released on 2006-10 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ranting out the Devil is a compilation of reflections on discovery pertinent to health and human service industry unique to mental health. Ranting represents my journal of healing from an episode of tumultuous mental distress into an engaged, functioning recovery. My evolving internalised state of peace and wellness abreacted out of Ranting's dynamics for understanding, acceptance and activism impacting against life's loss. I combined survivor art with Ranting to express purpose, meaning and value, because reasoning is the combined action of both the intellect and emotion processing a viable conclusion and the greatest part of reason is creativity that touches that most alive part of us - the depth of our personal power. This book provides an extremely emotive and honest account of Kathleen's view of mental health professionals. She has empowered many patients who have suffered in hospital. She has provided mental health patients with a voice.

Download or read book A Cultural History of Comedy in the Early Modern Age written by Andrew McConnell Stott and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing together scholars with a wide range of expertise across the early modern period, this volume explores the rich field of early modern comedy in all its variety. It argues that early modern comedy was shaped by a series of cultural transformations that included the emergence of the entertainment industry, the rise of the professional comedian, extended commentaries on the nature of comedy and laughter, and the development of printed jestbooks. It was the prime site from which to satirize a rapidly-changing world and explore the formation of new social relations around questions of gender, authority, identity, and commerce, amongst others. Yet even as it reacted to the novel and the new, comedy also served as a receptacle for the celebration of older social rituals such as May games and seasonal festivities. The result was a complex and contested mix of texts, performances, and concepts providing a deep tradition that abides to this day. Each chapter takes a different theme as its focus: form, theory, praxis, identities, the body, politics and power, laughter and ethics. These eight different approaches to early modern comedy add up to an extensive, synoptic coverage of the subject.
