While today's Telluride might bring to mind a hot tourist spot and
upscale ski resort, the earliest days of the town and surrounding
San Miguel County were marked by an abundance of gamblers, con men
and murderers. From Bob Meldrum, a deputized killer who prowled the
streets during times of labor unrest, to the author's own ancestor,
Charlie Turner, a brash young man killed in a shooting in Ophir,
Carol Turner's Notorious Telluride offers a glimpse at some of the
sordid, shocking and sad pioneer tales of the area.
Presenting an in-depth overview of the foundations and developments
of post-Keynesian macroeconomics since Kalecki and Keynes, this
timely book develops a comprehensive post-Keynesian macroeconomic
model with the respective macroeconomic policy mix for achieving
non-inflationary full employment. The different versions of the
model for closed and open economies are concerned with the key
areas of macroeconomics, such as full employment, constant
inflation and external balance. Eckhard Hein expertly illustrates
how to embed these post-Keynesian macroeconomics and macroeconomic
policies into the post-Keynesian research programme more generally,
whilst also providing a review of its methods and historical roots.
Furthermore, the book links post-Keynesian short-run macroeconomics
to long-run distribution and growth theories. Finally, it applies
these theoretical approaches to the current research on
macroeconomic regimes and regime changes within finance-dominated
capitalism and on the macroeconomic challenges of the ecological
crisis and of the required socio-ecological transformation. This
book will be a crucial read for academics and graduate students
interested in post-Keynesian macroeconomics. Providing a
thought-provoking alternative to orthodox economic policies, this
will also be of interest to policy advisers and politicians.

Life is often messy. We hear people say, “My life is a mess,” or “This situation is a mess.” What they mean is that life has become difficult, painful or confusing. But God never promised us a trouble-free life. In fact, His Word tells us to expect the opposite. In John 16:33, Jesus says, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (NIV).
In Blessed in the Mess, beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer shows us how to be blessed in the midst of life’s most challenging circumstances. The Bible is filled with instructions on how to handle ourselves when difficulty comes our way, and Blessed in the Mess shares that wisdom through poignant and practical teaching that equips us to remain stable and hopeful in every situation. No matter what problems we may face, there is a way to remain joyful and patient as God works on them. If you have not handled the messy issues or challenges in your life well in the past, then with God's help, you can begin to manage them better, starting now.
We should never waste our pain. Through the wisdom distilled in this book, we can learn how to gain something from our messes, use those insights to avoid trouble in the future, and share our experiences to help other people find blessings in the midst of their messes.
In Historic Columbus Crimes, the father-daughter team of David
Meyers and Elise Meyers Walker looks back at sixteen tales of
murder, mystery and mayhem culled from city history. Take the rock
star slain by a troubled fan or the drag queen slashed to death by
a would-be ninja. Then there's the writer who died acting out the
plot of his next book, the minister's wife incinerated in the
parsonage furnace and a couple of serial killers who outdid the Son
of Sam. Not to mention a gunfight at Broad and High, grave-robbing
medical students, the bloodiest day in FBI history and other
fascinating stories of crime and tragedy. They're all here, and
they're all true

Evolution is proffered as a scientific theory throughout the world. Is it the truth, or could it be one of the biggest lies ever told? Is it possible that evolution is nothing more than an elaborate belief system with the aim to oppose the Christian faith and the Bible directly?
To provide answers to these questions, the basic assumptions of the Big Bang and the theory of evolution are thoroughly investigated in this book.
The following are some of the questions discussed:
- Did the Big Bang really happen?
- How did life on Earth originate?
- Is Darwin’s theory of evolution at all feasible?
- Is life on other planets, for example Mars, possible?
- How old is the Earth?
- Was there a worldwide flood?
- Did dinosaurs really become extinct millions of years ago?
- Is the story of Noah and the Ark possible?
- Does the fossil record support or contradict the theory of evolution?
- Is evolution a science or merely an atheistic belief system?
The conclusions in this book may be surprising to many and will provide answers to the complex questions people frequently ask. This book is recommended for every scholar, student and parent, or anyone wanting to make rational decisions about what they believe.
Our world needs courageous leaders who will recognize the need for God-motivated action and follow through with a God-led plan.
Whether your vision for change is local or global, simple or complex, for your home, business, or ministry, Courageous Leaders will help you remain on a true course and reach the goal set before you.
A great hands-on guide book for strategic planning.
Desperate to seize control of Kentucky, the Confederate army
launched an invasion into the commonwealth in the fall of 1862,
viciously culminating at an otherwise quiet Bluegrass crossroads
and forever altering the landscape of the war. The Battle of
Perryville lasted just one day yet produced nearly eight thousand
combined casualties and losses, and some say nary a victor. The
Rebel army was forced to retreat, and the United States kept its
imperative grasp on Kentucky throughout the war. Few know this
hallowed ground like Christopher L. Kolakowski, former director of
the Perryville Battlefield Preservation Association, who draws on
letters, reports, memoirs and other primary sources to offer the
most accessible and engaging account of the Kentucky Campaign yet,
featuring over sixty historic images and maps.
St. Louis was a city under siege during Prohibition. Seven
different criminal gangs violently vied for control of the town's
illegal enterprises. Although their names (the Green Ones, the
Pillow Gang, the Russo Gang, Egan's Rats, the Hogan Gang, the
Cuckoo Gang and the Shelton Gang) are familiar to many, their
exploits have remained largely undocumented until now. Learn how an
awkward gunshot wound gave the Pillow Gang its name, and read why
Willie Russo's bizarre midnight interview with a reporter from the
St. Louis Star involved an automatic pistol and a floating hunk of
cheese. From daring bank robberies to cold-blooded betrayals, The
Gangs of St. Louis chronicles a fierce yet juicy slice of the
Gateway City's history that rivaled anything seen in New York or
Chicago.
God made your heart for love, joy, peace, and wholeness. But
pastors say that more than 90% of their congregations struggle with
unforgiveness - and unforgiveness can make us forget what we were
made for. What if the most pervasive sin of our day is invisible,
hidden deep inside our hearts? What if it affects every aspect of
our lives and relationships so quietly and insidiously that most of
us miss it altogether? Bruce Wilkinson believes unforgiveness is
that sin. Through the teachings of Jesus, The Freedom Factor
reveals the link between our suffering and our unforgiveness. But
it also shows how to forgive - for real and forever. The story
doesn't have to end with the pain of our wounds. Whatever happened
to us happened. But the God who made your heart has shown a way
past the wounds, back to the life and love that we were made for -
a path toward freedom.
Oppaymolleah's curse. General Braddock's buried gold. The Original
Man of Steel, Joe Magarac. Such legends have found a home among the
rich folklore of Western Pennsylvania. Thomas White spins a
beguiling yarn with tales that reach from the misty hollows of the
Alleghenies to the lost islands of Pittsburgh. White invites
readers to learn the truth behind the urban legend of the Green
Man, speculate on the conspiracy surrounding the lost B-25 bomber
of Monongahela and shiver over the ghostly lore of Western
Pennsylvania.
