Sherlock Holmes' mouse counterpart Basil lives in the basement of
221B Baker Street, just below the great man himself. Hired to
locate a kidnapped toymaker, Basil and his trusty sidekick Dawson
soon find themselves up against their arch-enemy Professor Ratigan.
It seems Ratigan wants to use the toymaker to make a mechanical
replica of the Queen who will then bestow the villain with the
right to rule over rodent London - but not if Basil can find a way
to stop him.
A child of the Second World War, Alan Young developed two passions
early in life; music and literature. In his twenties, having
flunked an interview for the BBC, he decided to leave the world of
academia behind and seek adventure in East Africa, using his
academic experience to teach native Kenyans under the Teachers for
East Africa scheme and becoming, briefly, an Outward Bound
instructor helping to lead a party up Kilimanjaro. Roads Taken is
his account of those vividly remembered days in a strange land
which became a second home to him and where he made friends from
all races and backgrounds.
This stimulating collection of essays, a product of a dialogue among anthropologists, sociologists, and philosopher-historians, focuses on the newly created biomedical technologies and their practical applications. Drawing on ethnographic and historical case studies, the authors show how biomedical technologies are produced through the agencies of tools and techniques, scientists and doctors, funding bodies, patients, and the public. Despite shared concerns, the authors achieve no consensus about their research objectives, and deep epistemological divides clearly remain, making for provocative reading.
A superbly illustrated journey through the landscape and events of
the life of the iconic Scottish knight who was brought to life in
the film "Braveheart" For nearly 700 years debate has raged over
the true nature of William Wallace and his role in Scotland's
turbulent history--was he the Braveheart of Blind Harry's legendary
account, the bold, but savage, hero of the Scottish wars, or, as
some contemporary chroniclers attested, was he nothing but a
villainous thief and vagrant fugitive? This book draws on a wide
range of contemporary and modern sources to look behind the figure
of legend to find Wallace's true character. It traces Wallace's
journey from his modest upbringing in south-west Scotland and his
first victory as a "guerilla" leader and military commander at
Stirling Bridge to his painful death seven years later, including
his "invasion" of Northumberland and Cumberland. This is an
essential traveling companion for a journey through Wallace's
kingdom and to learn more about the myth and the man.

Is God a Vegetarian? is one of the most complete explorations of
vegetarianism in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Young, a
linguistics and New Testament scholar, attempts to answer the
question being asked with greater and greater frequency: "Are
Christians morally obligated to be vegetarians?"
Many people are confused about the apparent mixed messages
within the Bible. On the one hand, God prescribes a vegetarian diet
in the Garden of Eden and the apocalyptic visions of Isaiah and
John imply the restoration of a vegetarian diet. However, it is
also clear that God permits, Jesus partakes in, and Paul sanctions
the eating of flesh. Does the Bible give any clear guidance?
Close readings of key biblical texts pertaining to dietary
customs, vegetarianism, and animal rights make up the substance of
the book. Rather than ignoring or offering a literal,
twentieth-century interpretation of the passages, the author
analyzes the voices of these conflicting dietary motifs within
their own social contexts. Interwoven throughout these readings are
discussions of contemporary issues, such as animal testing and
experimentation, the fur industry, raising animals in factories,
and the effects of meat-eating on human health.
Thirteen chapters cover such topics as
-- the vegetarian diet in the Garden of Eden
-- the clothing of the first humans in animal skins
-- God's permitting humans to eat meat
-- animal sacrifice
-- the dietary habits of Jesus and the early apostles
-- Paul's condemnation of vegetarianism as heresy
-- the dietary views of the early church fathers
-- the peaceable kingdom.
The author provides two vegetarian recipes at the end of each
chapter. An epilogueincludes guidelines for becoming a vegetarian
and a recommended reading list.
Insightful and challenging, Is God a Vegetarian? poses
provocative questions for vegetarians, Christians, and anyone
reflecting upon her personal choices and ethical role in our world
today.
An indispensable series for anyone who wishes to keep abreast of
recent work in the field. WELSH HISTORY REVIEW The continued
vitality and rich diversity of thirteenth-century studies is
demonstrated in this latest volume in the series. Economic and
social history is particular well-served, with a close examination
of the concept of "bastard feudalism", while a detailed exploration
of the cloth industry and trade, together with a paper on London
wardrobes, with their implications of conspicuous consumption, add
much to our knowledge of the commercial world during the period.
There is also a particular focus on English relations with Wales
and Scotland under Edward I, and on the early history and
development of parliament. Other subjects treated include the
nature of Englishness; the serjeants of the Common Pleas; English
verse chronicles; and Henry III's marriage plans. Professor MICHAEL

Interest in the use of digital technology in art therapy has grown
significantly in recent years. This book provides an authoritative
overview of the applications of digital art therapy with different
client groups and considers the implications for practice.
Alongside Cathy Malchiodi, the contributors review the pros and
cons of introducing digital technology into art therapy, address
the potential ethical and professional issues that can arise and
give insight into the effect of digital technology on the brain.
They cover a wide range of approaches, from therapeutic filmmaking
to the use of tablet and smartphone technology in therapy. Detailed
case studies bring the practicalities of using digital technology
with children, adolescents and adults to life and the use of social
media in art therapy practice, networking and community-building is
also discussed.
Many studies of African-American gospel music spotlight history
and style. This one, however, is focused mainly on grassroots
makers and singers. Most of those included here are not stars. A
few have received national recognition, but most are known only in
their own home areas. Yet their collective stories presented in
this book indicate that black gospel music is one of the most
prevalent forms of contemporary American song. Its author Alan
Young is a New Zealander who came to the South seeking authentic
blues music. Instead, he found gospel to be the most pervasive,
fundamental music in the contemporary African-American South.
Blues, he concludes, has largely lost touch with its roots, while
gospel continues to express authentic resources. Conducting
interviews with singers and others in the gospel world of Tennessee
and Mississippi, Young ascertains that gospel is firmly rooted in
community life. " Woke Me Up This Morning " includes his candid,
widely varied conversations with a capella groups, with radio
personalities, with preachers, and with soloists whose performances
reveal the diversity of gospel styles. Major figures interviewed
include the Spirit of Memphis Quartet and the Reverend Willie
Morganfield, author and singer of the million-selling "What Is
This?" who turned his back on fame in order to pastor a church in
the heart of the Mississippi Delta. All speak freely in
oral-history style here, telling how they became involved in gospel
music and religion, how it enriches their lives, how it is
connected to secular music (especially blues), and how the
spiritual and the practical are united in their performances. Their
accounts reveal the essential grassroots force and spirit of gospel
music and demonstrate that if blues springs from America's soul,
then gospel arises from its heart.

Prepared by the Program Committee, Offshore Technology Conference,
of the Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute of ASCE. This
series presents classic papers from the early years of the Offshore
Technology Conference (OTC), the world's leading event for the
development of offshore resources in the fields of exploration,
drilling, production, and environmental protection. Since the OTC
began in 1969, some of the civil engineering papers presented there
have provided innovation in, vision for, and lasting impact on the
design, construction, or installation of offshore infrastructure.
Many papers were been adopted by design standards worldwide or have
become an integral part of design software. Others have had
influence far beyond the offshore industry, and some have become
integral to the design process of onshore structures such as
buildings and bridges. Volume 5 contains eight papers inducted into
the OTC Hall of Fame in 2010. The engineering methods published in
these papers have proven their value through widespread use and
permeate codes, standards, guidelines, and engineering software.
For over 600 years, Robert the Bruce has had a unique place in
Scottish history. Yet behind the legendary hero king is a complex,
and in many ways, more fascinating picture. He was a man who not
only led his nation to a famous victory over the English at
Bannockburn, but who overcame great odds to win power for himself
in Scotland and fulfil his family's long-held ambition for
political power. This book, illustrated with superb colour and
black and white photographs, takes the reader on Bruce's journey,
from his birth in south-west Scotland to his kingship and triumph
at Bannockburn. Here are the sites and settings associated with
Robert the Bruce and those he fought. This is an essential
travelling companion for a journey through Bruce's kingdom and to
learn more about the myth and the man.
