Book excerpt: A woman's body, a smashed Packard, a half-empty bottle of booze, a dark rainy night sixty years ago. The police said it was a case of drunk driving. But things weren't always as they seemed in Florida's sleepy little capital. The woman-Jo Ellen-had a past and enemies. No one wanted to ask the hard questions. The case went as cold as winter in North Florida, filed away in the dusty basement of the Tallahassee courthouse-until, Jo Ellen's father, Milo Harbert, began receiving photographs from his daughter's past. He demands the case be investigated properly. He goes to a brand-new agency: the Sheriff's Bureau, a shack of an office where he meets Special Agent True Fulton. Fulton's investigation takes him through the storefronts and back alleys and smoke-filled rooms of the little capital, to shady barrooms near Jacksonville s waterfront to the lonely prehistoric woods near Thirteen Mile, all in search for the truth-something that certain well-connected people in Tallahassee do not want revealed. Will Jo Ellen's family ever know the truth, or will justice be as elusive as the streamlined Gulf Wind disappearing into the night?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Jeremy Black assesses the three main types of war—between cultures, within cultures, and civil—emphasizing the social and cultural factors leading to conflict. He argues that cultural factors have always been the key element, especially aggression in the shape of a willingness to kill and be killed, which alters rational assumptions of risk and overcomes deterrence. He assesses the predisposition of ideologies to think and act in terms of conflict, the functional dynamics of international relations systems, and the strengths and failures of diplomacy. Drawing on research from history, political science, and international relations, Black marshals global examples spanning the fifteenth century to the present. Contrasting wars within cultures and wars between cultures he considers the implications for ongoing and future conflict.

Download or read book Marked and Sealed written by Jeremy C Springfield and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 666-the number of the beast. The infamous mark is the most widely recognized number in the world, but it is also the most misunderstood. A similar situation has befallen its counterpart-the seal of God.These two topics in the New Testament book of Revelation have captivated minds for millennia, and yet so much of their significance has been missed even with a sincere desire to understand them. Many various assertions have arisen and are often encountered regarding what they mean and how they will be realized in the Creator's grand prophetic plan. What has seldom been addressed and is largely unknown is that Judaism has maintained a thought regarding both the mark of the beast and the seal of God that offers a rich insight into the subject for all believers.Marked and Sealed tackles this mysterious subject from an essentially unprecedented perspective: turning to the rich corpus of Jewish religious literature to frame the mark and the seal in their original Hebraic viewpoint. Setting aside the popular approaches of modern Western Christian thought and the historical perspectives of the Church throughout the ages, the contents herein instead present a fresh but ancient view that will challenge preconceptions while upholding the message of Scripture. This unique book offers a unifying portrait of what the revelator of Patmos sought to convey to his readers that preserves the Semitic meaning and displays the harmony between ancient Judaism and the faith of the early New Testament writers.
