Download or read book The Mammoth Book of Angels Demons written by Paula Guran and published by Robinson. This book was released on 2013-05-16 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite our tendency to think of the demonic as evil and the angelic as good, our own legends don't always bear this out. Angels can be the incarnation of light and salvation, but they can also fall - Satan himself is a fallen angel. Demons can be truly demonic, but these unearthly creatures can also, on occasion, lend humankind a hand. Temptation can lead to revelation, supernatural messengers who bring true justice may not be welcomed, and beings seeking redemption can be blind to mortal needs. Stories from world-renowned authors of science fiction and fantasy - including Neil Gaiman, George R. R. Martin and Joyce Carol Oates - and rising stars portray angels in all their glory, demons at their most dreadful, and a surprising variety of modern interpretations of ancient myth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Born in 1872, a Methodist shopkeeper's son, Jasper Wolfe became a highly successful local solicitor in Skibbereen. A strong supporter of Home Rule, he gave an acclaimed speech at the rally in London in 1912 that launched the Irish Protestant Home Rule movement, upstaging speakers such as George Bernard Shaw and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle." "After Easter 1916 he was appointed Crown Solicitor for the City and West Riding of Cork, and put the Crown case at the inquest into the murder of the Republican Lord Mayor of Cork, Tomas MacCurtain. He was soon a top target for the IRA. In an astonishing twist of fortune, having been three times sentenced to death by the IRA, he subsequently became a defence lawyer for dissident Republicans after the Civil War." "In 1927 he was elected to the Dail as an independent candidate and topped the poll in his second general election. Greatly admired in legal circles, he was elected president of the Law Society of Ireland in 1940 - Ireland's top honour for solicitors - and the first from Cork. Jasper was clever, convivial and hard drinking. Personally fearless, he was cherished for the stories his exploits generated. More seriously, he stood for an Ireland at peace and at ease with itself."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Facing the Death Penalty written by Michael Radelet and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "These essays...show us the human and inhuman realities of capital punishment through the eyes of the condemned and those who work with them. By focusing on those awaiting death, they present the awful truth behind the statistics in concrete, personal terms." --William J. Bowers, author of Legal Homicide Between 1930 and 1967, there were 3,859 executions carried out under state and civil authority in the United States. Since the ten-year moratorium on capital punishment ended in 1977, more than one hundred prisoners have been executed. There are more than two thousand men and women now living on death row awaiting their executions. Facing the Death Penalty offers an in-depth examination of what life under a sentence of death is like for condemned inmates and their families, how and why various professionals assist them in their struggle for life, and what these personal experiences with capital punishment tell us about the wisdom of this penal policy. The contributors include historians, attorneys, sociologists, anthropologists, criminologists, a minister, a philosopher, and three prisoners. One of the prisoner-contributors is Willie Jasper Darden, Jr., whose case and recent execution after fourteen years on death row drew international attention. The inter-disciplinary perspectives offered in this book will not solve the death penalty debate, but they offer important and unique insights on the full effects of American capital punishment provisions. While the book does not set out to generate sympathy for those convicted of horrible crimes, taken together, the essays build a case for abolition of the death penalty. "This work stands with the best of what's been written. It represents the best of those who have seen the worst." --Colman McCarthy, The Washington Post Book World
