armageddon. For the first time in millennia, the Awakened are
finally united. On the run after the explosive events of Brazil,
and with the agents of the One King close at every turn,
Christopher's mission is finally clear: destroy the God Machine.
It's time to end the world. Collects ORDINARY GODS #7-12
This dictionary covers marketing communications in the broadest
sense, including advertising, but also extending to public
relations which concerns many organizations not involved in
marketing and which have little to do with advertising. Entries
have been gathered from around the world, and this dictionary will
therefore be valuable to those operating in an international
environ ment where different term, or terms with different
spellings, are used. There are also terms with different meanings,
depending on their country of origin. For example, in the UK
newspapers are called press media, while in the USA the term print
media is more usual. In the UK, print usually applies to printed
items, such as sales or edu ;;ational literature. Likewise, there
are big differences between European and American broadcasting
systems, and sponsored radio or TV can mean different things around
the world. Outdoor advertising also has different terminology in
different countries, especially in North America and the UK. In
many cases, alternative British and American terms are given, while
some are either European or American. Some terminology is specific
to a certain country. Entries have been collected from all parts of
the world, including the oramedia or folk media of the Third World.
Financial terms have been included because of their increasing im
portance in advertising and public relations, and the dictionary
reflects the increasing relevance of satellites and computers."
In 1913 the Australian press displayed a cosmopolitan openness to the culture of the modern world. By 1919, however, Australia had become an inward-looking society bent on keeping the outside world out - a quarantined culture. This book looks at the impact of the First World War on Australian culture, focussing on reactions to modernist art. John Williams argues that the creation of the Anzac legend, the back-to-the-land movement, notions of racial superiority and the mythology of the masculine nation were reactionary and anti-modern. Reflecting this, Australian pioneers of post-impressionism were ignored in favour of more traditional artists. This engaging book outlines the forces - social, economic, cultural, political - which led to the stagnation of Australian culture between the wars. John Williams' original and provocative work will make an important contribution to Australian cultural history.
This highly acclaimed criminology text presents an up-to-date
review of rational choice theories, including deterrence, shaming,
and routine activities. It also incorporates current examples of
deterrence research regarding domestic violence, drunk driving, and
capital punishment, and features thought-provoking discussion of
the relativity of crime. The authors explore the crime problem, its
context, and causes of crime. The organization of the text reflects
the fact that the etiology of crime must be at the heart of
criminology. It examines contemporary efforts to redefine crime by
focusing on family violence, hate crimes, white-collar misconduct
with violent consequences, and other forms of human behavior often
neglected by criminologists. Extensive discussion of evolving laws
is included, and while the prevalence of the scientific method in
the field of criminology is highlighted, the impact of ideology on
explanations of crime is the cornerstone of the book.
This book covers the capture and imprisonment of Lieutenant Ronald
Williams, by the Japanese, on Java in 1942. Williams' artillery
regiment had set sail from the Clyde to fight the Nazi in the
Middle East, but were then diverted to the Far East after the
Japanese invaded Malaya. Following the sudden surrender of
Singapore, Java was next in the firing line and quickly succumbed.
Williams' and his remaining regiment were taken into captivity,
which led to increasing levels of hardship and brutality. Stories
and anecdotes leading up to the allied surrender and first nine
months of imprisonment are included.

loving parents and a 12-year-old sister. He works at a paint store.

My Little Town turns the Yankee-comes-to-Dixie literary genre
outside in, examining Marion, Alabama, through the eyes of someone
who should never have been living there and yet found himself there
for more than a decade. With a keen appreciation of its peculiarly
Southern tableau, the book lovingly scrutinizes an Alabama village
short chapter by short chapter, accompanied by photographer Jerry
Siegel's captivating work from the Black Belt. Funeral visitations,
poisoned soup luncheons, Pilgrimage hosting, supper clubs, family
feuds, Obama Day parades, politics, Jews, and chicken salad recipes
are all treated with a voice of singular precision and affection.
Simultaneously author David Tipmore couples this fresh view of
Southern small-town life with his own narrative of a worldly urban
nomad who hopes to find a home in one of the most isolated areas of
the United States, peculiarly defined by its racial history and
regional mores. By conflating the two stories, My Little Town
challenges the reader as much as the author, raising serious
questions about our ability as Americans to transcend our regional
identities and cultural complexities.
