Book excerpt: An enthralling work of fiction... or is it? This is a book that raises a multitude of awkward questions -- and provides some uncomfortably plausible answers. In 1943, a very gifted man with a deep hatred of everything British comes to an important decision. 'If conventional armed forces cannot conquer this blot on the face of Europe then we must learn from the ancient Greek legend of the Trojan horse and destroy it from within its own borders.' Even as World War II was ending this man and his disciples were infiltrating Britain and, with extraordinary ability and vision, began to change its economy and culture. Their skill in the now commonly used misinformation techniques can be taken from the fact that their ability to manipulate the media was unsurpassed and yet the media owners and operators were only vaguely aware of their existence. This is an incredible story of hatred and love of Britain as a nation state. It is the story of a foot soldier in a new type of war - a war waged in secret, over many years, and with incalculable effect. This young man is one of many trained since his pre-teen years to damage the British economy and way of life through the use of misinformation techniques. As he struggles to fulfil the destiny that others have intended for him, he begins to question the certainties he has been given and, finally, to come to a momentous conclusion. His true destiny lies elsewhere. In recent times whenever British people of mature years get together in groups the conversation invariably turns at some stage to the depressing changes that have taken place in the country since World War II. In particular, they ask each other why British governments never follow the wishes of the majority on key issues like law and order, our relationship with Europe and preventing dangerous terrorists from setting up their operations in Britain. The typical reaction of those who have read this is -- 'If there is a better explanation for the current situation in Britain, then I have not yet heard of it!'

Book excerpt: Who is the mysterious doctor, and what is his relationship to the infamous Al-Haq? And what does Al-Haq, the most wanted man on the Americans' most wanted list of terrorists, want with the grandson of Tommy, founder and spiritual leader of Tommy's Gridiron Gospel Mission, Bible College, and Christian Theme Park? When Kenny Hangleider is lost to a mob storming the American Embassy, these are the questions that super spy, J. Madison Bilby, sets out to answer. Bilby is relentless in his quest to save Tommy's grandson, make the world safe against terrorism, and to walk away with one of the suitcases full of money that Oskar Kisse regularly sends to the Middle East in his quest to infiltrate Al-Haq's network. Kisse, the creative genius behind the President's Tsar Tsar, Andy Anderson, is the administration's inside man fighting the War on Terror. With his assistant, Lutheran Crapper, descendent of Thomas Crapper, inventor of the flush toilet, Kisse sends Bilby out to thwart Al-Haq and the doctor. Otto Ruhle, new to the administration, is determined to undermine Kisse and become the administration's point person against Al-Haq. He seizes control of Operation Trojan Hearse (The spell check function on the code name generator will be fixed before you know it.) and turns Lutheran into a ticking time bomb by informing him that Thomas Crapper did not really invent the flush toilet. The climax comes to a head at the funeral of the beloved former president being held at the Gridiron Gospel Church's drive in chapel. Will Tommy and his chief of security, Fender Bender, save Tommy's grandson? Will Ruhle triumph over Kisse? Will Bilby escape with the suitcase? There's only one way to find out.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aging is a gift—a privilege best enjoyed with open arms and a grateful heart. Meet Kitty and Mardel, also affectionately known as St. Katherine and the Dragon Lady. Through a good dose of humor and some hard-earned insight, A Tale of Two Biddies tells the entertaining story of the two women who inspired this book. One was kind, tender-hearted, and humble; the other was critical, pessimistic, self-centered, and sharp-tongued. As these women aged and their inhibitions fell away, the true character of their hearts became increasingly evident to those around them. For better and for worse. In this book Vicki Kuyper explores the issues women face as they age and encourages them to make the most of the latter seasons of their lives. We can’t control the aging process, but we can choose how we’ll face each day, ultimately shaping our hearts and who we become. We grow old in the blink of an eye. Growing up takes considerably longer. That means there’s no better time than right now to reevaluate our habits, our faith, and our future. We can choose what draws us closer to God and closer to being the amazing women God created us to be. That’s life at its finest.

Download or read book The Labyrinth of Universality written by Hena Maes-Jelinek and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilson Harris, many times nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature, is a British writer of Guyanese origin, one of the most original novelists and critics of the twentieth century, and probably the first to use and interpret the aesthetically fruitful notion of cross-culturalism. Harris's insights into the profound symbiosis between history, culture and artistic expression were initially inspired by his encounters with Amerindians in the Guyanese rainforest interior, where he led many surveying expeditions. These encounters aroused his interest in pre-Columbian peoples, who figure prominently in many of his novels and stories. His perception of the Guyanese landscape is the source of his unique narrative rhetoric, richly metaphoric language, and philosophy of existence: i.e. the epistemological and phenomenological interrelatedness between man, animal life, and nature. The present study offers magisterial, in-depth interpretations of Harris's exhilaratingly complex and shape-shifting fictional worlds.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 1137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents hundreds of customs and traditions practiced in countries outside of the United States, showcasing the diversity of birth, coming-of-age, and death celebrations worldwide. From the beginning of our lives to the end, all of humanity celebrates life's milestones through traditions and unique customs. In the United States, we have specific events like baby showers, rites of passage such as Bat and Bar Mitzvahs and "sweet 16" birthday parties, and sober end-of-life traditions like obituaries and funeral services that honor those who have died. But what kinds of customs and traditions are practiced in other countries? How do people in other cultures welcome babies, prepare to enter into adulthood, and commemorate the end of the lives of loved ones? This three-volume encyclopedia covers more than 300 birth, life, and death customs, with the books' content organized chronologically by life stage. Volume 1 focuses on birth and childhood customs, Volume 2 documents adolescent and early-adulthood customs, and Volume 3 looks at aging and death customs. The entries in the first volume examine pre-birth traditions, such as baby showers and other gift-giving events, and post-birth customs, such as naming ceremonies, child-rearing practices, and traditions performed to ward off evil or promote good health. The second volume contains information about rites of passage as children become adults, including indigenous initiations, marriage customs, and religious ceremonies. The final volume concludes with coverage on customs associated with aging and death, such as retirement celebrations, elaborate funeral processions, and the creation of fantasy coffins. The set features beautiful color inserts that illustrate examples of celebrations and ceremonies and includes an appendix of excerpts from primary documents that include legislation on government-accepted names, wedding vows, and maternity/paternity leave regulations.

Book excerpt: A work of scholarship and a labor of love. "This is the definitive history of the Batman in all media: comics, film, television and the internet. The bookÆs combination of rigorous historical research and a witty, fluid writing style make it both vastly instructive and vastly entertaining."--Roberta Pearson, editor of The Many Lives of the Batman "Will appeal to avid students of pop culture and comics, and a gay cult audience...BrookerÆs impressive overview of BatmanÆs history reflects on the masked oneÆs origins, early arch rivals and the introduction of Robin, and concentrates on four periods: WWII, the mid 1950s, the Æ60s and the Æ90s. In 1954, child psychologist Fredric Wertham attacked the comic book industryànoting homoerotic undercurrents between Batman and Robin; BrookerÆs lengthy and fascinating Ægay readingÆ supports WerthamÆs claim, albeit with a positive, postmodern twist. After recalling the campy image of Batman spawned by ABCÆs 1960s TV show, the author takes a look at Batman writers, fans, fanzines and the Net, concluding with a hilarious chapter on how his research was ridiculed by the British media." -Publishers Weekly ôàBrookerÆs account is bolstered by his fan expertise. This book usefully expands uponàThe Many Lives of Batman. Recommendedàö--Library Journal"A historical, detailed, deep analysis of Batman as a cultural icon in America. This isn't a simple polemic or surface-shallow analysis. This is deep stuff-analyzing art styles, histories, individual panels, cultural concepts, and historical documentsà. plenty of startling revelations and analysesàThis is a stunningly well-done, intelligent book. It's proof that comics are not throwaway ephemera, but real, vital, analyzable parts of our culture. It's also a must-have for the hardcore Batman fan and comics fan-who doesn't mind some ideas being challenged."--www.super-heroes.netôBrooker cuts through the mumbo jumbo to deliver incisive analysis and very sharp reporting, particularly on the comic book's homoerotic subtext and on the 60's TV show's knowing self-mockery, as well as on how the 'official' 21st Century Batman nods to both.ö--Entertainment WeeklyOver the sixty years of his existence, Batman has encountered an impressive array of cultural icons and has gradually become one himself. This fascinating book examines what Batman means and has meant to the various audiences, groups and communities who have tried to control and interpret him over the decades. Brooker reveals the struggles over Batman's meaning by shining a light on the cultural issues of the day that impacted on the development of the character. They include: patriotic propaganda of the Second World War; the accusation that Batman was corrupting the youth of America by appearing to promote a homosexual lifestyle to the fans of his comics; Batman becoming a camp, pop culture icon through the ABC TV series of the sixties; fans' interpretation of Batman in response to the comics and the Warner Bros. franchise of films.
