When the original edition of British Hoverflies was published in
1983, it established a popular style of user-friendly
identification keys that resulted in many more people taking an
interest in these colourful and attractive insects. This second
edition retains the layout and approach of the original but it also
includes much additional information about the family as a whole,
as well as extended and revised species accounts. Revised by Stuart
Ball, Alan Stubbs, Ian McLean, Roger Morris, Steven Falk and Roger
Hawkins, the new edition includes all 276 species known from
Britain, compared with 256 in the first edition. The keys and text
have been updated extensively to take account of our increased
knowledge of hoverflies, and some species from continental Europe
that might be expected to occur here are described in the keys and
species accounts. The second edition comprises 469 pages, including
the 12 widely-acclaimed, original colour plates by Steven Falk, as
well as 17 new detailed black and white plates of Cheilosia
genitalia (by Steven Falk) and Sphaerophoria genitalia (by Stuart
Ball). The summaries of the distribution of species and their
flight periods have been updated following the publication of the
Provisional Atlas of British Hoverflies in 2000. A check list of
all British species gives the current nomenclature for the family,
while a bibliography of over 800 references facilitates access to
much of the published literature on hoverflies. This new edition
will appeal both to experienced dipterists and to those starting to
study flies for the first time.
Since its publication in 1994, The Story of God has played an
important role in implementing and advancing the study of narrative
theology. One of the first books to formulate and examine Wesleyan
theology using the Bible's overarching story, it continues to serve
as a popular text in colleges and universities and as a reliable
resource for ministers and theologians. Unlike other books, which
use a topical or systematic approach to understanding theology, The
Story of God uses the flesh-and-blood stories of the Bible to help
readers see the complete picture of God s love for the world and in
doing so, gain a better understanding and appreciation for the
Christian faith. Updated and revised to include current language
and ideologies, this new edition provides readers with an even more
engaging and accessible introduction to Christian theology. Drawing
from Scripture, everyday experience, and contemporary reflection,
Michael Lodahl weaves together the stories and themes of the Bible
to present a compelling picture of the grand story of God and the
amazing love He has for His people.

This is a revealing look at the events and personalities that
defined the Beat Generation, drawing on over three decades of
research. Beatniks: A Guide to an American Subculture gets readers
past the caricature of the "beatnik" as a goateed, beret-wearing,
bongo-playing poseur, drawing on extensive research to show just
how profound an impact the beats had on American culture, politics,
and literature. Beatniks conveys the complexity, influences,
events, and places that shaped the Beat Generation from the late
1940s to the cusp of the 1960s. The book also features a series of
essays on specific aspects of the subculture, as well as interviews
with Beat Generation luminaries like Allen Ginsberg, Ann Charters,
Roy Harper and Michael McClure. Throughout, readers will meet an
extraordinary gallery of people both famous—Jack Kerouac, William
Burroughs, Neal Cassady—and lesser known but no less fascinating,
including Kenneth Patchen, Lord Buckley, Mort Sahl, Jack Micheline,
Lew Welch, Joan Vollmer Adams, and Lenore Kandel. Also included is
a detailed glossary with the origins and meanings of the beat
lingo.
Scottish Gaelic in Twelve Weeks has been written both as a
self-tuition course for beginners and also for use within the
classroom. You may want to learn Gaelic because of a general
interest in Celtic or Scottish history and culture, or because it
was the everyday language of your ancestors. The cynical observer
may wonder if the exercise is worthwhile, when only 1.5 per cent of
Scotland's population speak the language. However, Gaelic is far
from dead; in some parts of the Highlands and Western Isles it is
the everyday language and it represents an important part of the
United Kingdom's cultural mix. There are Gaelic-learning classes in
almost every area of Scotland. Each lesson in the book contains
some essential points of grammar explained and illustrated,
exercises, a list of new vocabulary (with a guide to pronunciation,
using the International Phonetics Alphabet), and an item of
conversation. This new edition includes an audio download link.
