When Indonesia's Minister of Agriculture discovers, in the run up
to the Presidential elections, that the country's usual sugar
stockpile is in short supply, the government's principal concern
shifts to the replenishment of this staple commodity in a desperate
attempt to avoid social unrest at a time when it is least desired.
Such a mammoth purchase of sugar, however, offers scope for
fraudulent activity and the Chinese trading company employed to
oversee the transaction uses the purchase as cover-up for an
illegal drugs deal. The door is inevitably opened for the various
contributors to the overlapping deals to engage themselves in a
series of seemingly independent illegal activities, and when the
first sugar shipment arrives, complete with one tonne of heroin,
the latter is adulterated. with fatal consequences for some and
leaving everyone else fearing for their own safety and wondering
just whom they can trust in the deal.
Leeds, 1980. Amid the violence and decay, the city was home to an
extraordinarily vibrant post-punk scene. Out of that swamp crawled
the Sisters of Mercy. Over the next five years, they would rise
from local heroes to leading alternative band, before blowing apart
on the verge of major rock stardom. Their path was strewn with
brilliant singles, astonishing EPs, exceptional album tracks and
legendary live shows. Two classic line-ups were created and
destroyed: Andrew Eldritch on vocals, Craig Adams on bass, Gary
Marx and Ben Gunn - later replaced by Wayne Hussey - on guitars,
and a drum machine called Doktor Avalanche. Drawing on dozens of
interviews with band members and key figures in the Sisters'
journey, Paint My Name in Black and Gold is the most complete
account yet of how - against the odds and all reasonable
expectation - these young men came to make transcendent and
life-changing music.
Clinical sport psychology is a rapidly growing field that brings
together research and clinical interventions from both clinical
psychology and sport and performance psychology. Complementary to
sports medicine and clinical sport psychiatry, clinical sport
psychology addresses the mental health needs and psychological
well-being of athletes, coaches, and other members of the sport
community. It offers scientifically informed conceptualizations of
psychological distress as it manifests in sport settings, as well
as empirically supported clinical interventions tailored to the
needs of sport populations. This volume addresses the latest
research findings regarding mental health among athletes and other
sport professionals, including epidemiological research concerning
depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and conduct and
interpersonal problems. In addition, it explores the unique
etiology of mental health problems among athletes, including
psychological sequelae of injury and trauma, as well as concise
practice guidelines for conceptualizing and treating psychological
distress in sport populations. Strategies for thorough yet
efficient psychological assessment of athletes, coaches, and other
sport professionals are also provided. A compendium of relevant
empirical research and clinical best practices for assessment and
treatment, this handbook charts the course that clinical sport
psychology has taken since its inception as a distinct clinical
specialty and highlights future directions for this rapidly growing
practice domain. It offers essential reading for psychologists and
other mental health professionals who provide clinical services in
sport and performance settings.

"Noble Rot manages to unravel the mysteries of wine with insight
and humour. A wonderful - and essential - read for anyone
interested in the world of wine, or even for those, like me, who
just drink it." Nigella Lawson "The Noble Rot guys have the ability
to describe wines as if they're either future friends, or
rock-stars coming to blow your mind." Caitlin Moran "Noble Rot has
brought originality, humour and now space travel to the very
serious business of drinking wine. About time too." Brian Eno "Dan
and Mark do that thing that only crazy knowledgeable enthusiasts
can do, they make you a crazy enthusiast too. If they said, 'We've
found a wine like no other, a wine that actually lights up the sky,
but you can only drink it in the desert at midnight, are you
coming?' I'd be off, and I'd be confident of meteor showers. They
provoke curiosity - 'how does anyone make this extraordinary drink
just with grapes?' - excitement, joy, and a longing for knowledge.
Now, in this book, they're sharing the knowledge." Diana Henry "To
really know and love a wine one should know the grower and the
vineyard. This isn't always or even often possible, which is why
the Rotters introduce these wines at source. You learn that making
wine, as cooking should be, is an act of love. You will come to
love this book too." Rowley Leigh Choosing wine in a restaurant or
shop can seem an unfathomable business. But, according to Dan
Keeling and Mark Andrew, the duo behind London's Noble Rot, it
needn't be that way. In Wine from Another Galaxy they'll help you
to understand how it is made, where to buy it, what to look for
when you drink it, and how to talk about it. And once you've
mastered the basics, they'll take you on a journey through the best
of European wine culture, meeting the people and places behind
their favourite bottles. Indeed, Dan and Mark have spent years
visiting growers that you probably haven't heard of, from the
original thinkers of the natural wine movement to the iconic
estates of Burgundy and Bordeaux. This is the alternative,
accessible, no-holds-barred guide to wine, where the usual cliches
and rules don't apply.

Throughout the nineteenth century, the land known as ""Indian
Territory"" was populated by diverse cultures, troubled by shifting
political boundaries, and transformed by historical events that
were colorful, dramatic, and often tragic. Beyond its borders, most
Americans visualized the area through the pictures produced by
non-Native travelers, artists, and reporters - all with differing
degrees of accuracy, vision, and skill. The images in Picturing
Indian Territory, and the eponymous exhibit it accompanies, conjure
a wildly varied vision of Indian Territory's past. Spanning nearly
nine decades, these artworks range from the scientific
illustrations found in English naturalist Thomas Nuttall's journal
to the paintings of Frederic Remington, Henry Farny, and Charles
Schreyvogel. The volume's three essays situate these works within
the historical narratives of westward expansion, the creation of an
""Indian Territory"" separate from the rest of the United States,
and Oklahoma's eventual statehood in 1907. James Peck focuses on
artists who produced images of Native Americans living in this vast
region during the pre-Civil War era. In his essay, B. Byron Price
picks up the story at the advent of the Civil War and examines
newspaper and magazine reports as well as the accounts of
government functionaries and artist-travelers drawn to the region
by the rapidly changing fortunes of the area's traditional Indian
cultures in the wake of non-Indian settlement. Mark Andrew White
then looks at the art and illustration resulting from the
unrelenting efforts of outsiders who settled Indian and Oklahoma
Territories in the decades before statehood. Some of the artworks
featured in this volume have never before been displayed; some were
produced by more than one artist; others are anonymous. Many were
completed by illustrators on-site, as the events they depicted
unfolded, while other artists relied on written accounts and vivid
imaginations. Whatever their origin, these depictions of the
people, places, and events of ""Indian Country"" defined the region
for contemporary American and European audiences. Today they
provide a rich visual record of a key era of western and Oklahoma
history - and of the ways that art has defined this important
cultural crossroads.

Tommy Tenney breathes life into the incredible story of Hadassah, a
simple peasant girl who is chosen over 127 other young women to

that helped Esther win the heart and gain the ear of the king, and
ultimately to save her people. Interwoven in this gripping drama
are extraordinary new insights into the Book of Esther, its purpose
and message.
