What would the world look like if the Old Perspective on Paul was
right about justification, the New Perspective was right about
Judaism, and the Radical New Perspective was right to note ongoing
differences between Jewish and Gentile converts? Galatians
Reconsidered is a compelling, practical study of Paul the Apostle's
writing that explores just that. Emphasising the central role
played by regression in Paul's argument on justification, Neil
Martin examines the dichotomy between faith and works and how the
apostle envisaged the differences in how Jews and Gentiles should
interact with the Law. By re-establishing Galatians in its original
Jewish and pagan context, Martin exposes the problems faced by
Galatian churches and shows how they still speak to modern churches
today. His insight not only helps us better appreciate Paul's
message but challenges us to put his wisdom into practice in our
own church settings. Provocative and stimulating Galatians
Reconsidered is a robust new look at the question of justification.
It will leave you with a thorough knowledge of the merits and
failings of both the old and new perspectives on Paul, as well as a
broader understanding of the letter to the Galatians both in the
context in which it was written and its continued relevance today.

What makes us laugh? Why is comedy so important? How does comedy
affect our behaviour? The Psychology of Comedy provides a unique
insight into the role of laughter and humour in our lives. From the
mechanics of comedy and what makes a good joke, to the health
benefits of laughter, the book delves into different types of
comedy, from slapstick to complex puns, and the physiological
response it provokes. The dark side of comedy is also considered,
confronting the idea that what is funny to some can be offensive to
others, making this universal experience also highly subjective. In
a time when comedy continues to be one of the most popular and
enduring forms of art, The Psychology of Comedy reminds us that
laughter really is good for the soul.

Smell and taste are our most misunderstood senses. Given a choice
between losing our sense of smell and taste, or our senses of sight
and hearing, most people nominate the former, rather than the
latter. Yet our sense of smell and taste has the power to stir up
memories, alter our mood and even influence our behaviour. In The
Neuropsychology of Smell and Taste, Neil Martin provides a
comprehensive, critical analysis of the role of the brain in
gustation and olfaction. In his accessible and characteristic style
he shows why our sense of smell and taste do not simply perform
basic and intermittent functions, but lie at the very centre of our
perception of the world around us. Through an exploration of the
physiology, anatomy and neuropsychology of the senses; the
neurophysiological causes of smell and taste disorders, and their
function in physical and mental illness, Neil Martin provides an
accessible and up-to-date overview of the processes of gustation
and olfaction. The Neuropsychology of Smell and Taste provides a
state-of-the-art overview of current research in olfactory and
gustatory perception. With sections describing the effect of odour
and taste on our behaviour, and evaluating the contribution current
neuroimaging technology has made to our understanding of the
senses, the book will be of interest to researchers and students of
neuropsychology and neuroscience, and anybody with an interest in
olfaction and gustation.

*NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* "A gripping journey."--People The
highly anticipated memoir from hip-hop icon Rick Ross chronicles
his coming of age amid Miami's crack epidemic, his star-studded
controversies and his unstoppable rise to fame. Rick Ross is an

of South Beach. In the aftermath of the 1980 race riots, he came of
age at the height of the city's crack epidemic. All the while he
honed his musical talent, overcoming setback after setback until a
song called "Hustlin'" changed his life forever. From his first
major label deal to the controversies, health scares, arrests and
feuds he had to transcend along the way, Hurricanes is a revealing
portrait of one of the biggest stars in the rap game and an
intimate look at the birth of an artist.

John McMaster's football dream started almost as soon as he could
walk. Working his way through the classical, of its day progression
of street to school to age-group football, John suddenly got the
chance to follow his dream to the far-off oil capital of Europe,
Aberdeen. No one could have known at the time, especially during
the struggles of his early years away from home, that the making of
him would come from a man who had just been sacked by St Mirren but
who would go on to become one of the greatest football managers of
all time-Sir Alex Ferguson. John suffered agonies on his way to the
top of the game, but he got there with incredible self-discipline
and desire and the unwavering support of the Boss. And through it
all, John saw first-hand how Sir Alex managed his people and
achieved greatness in the game and beyond, fuelled by an
unstoppable will to win. In McMaster and Commander: The Business of
Winning, John tells his story from tragedy as a young child through
to becoming an integral part of possibly the greatest club side in
Europe, if not the world, in the mid-eighties. With his co-authors
he examines the methods Sir Alex used, weaving the story through
anecdotes from the team's journey from good losers to great
winners. But more than that, John builds on the leadership lessons
drawn from working with Sir Alex-lessons that have been used to
improve leadership and individual performance across some of the
biggest businesses in the country. The stories serve as lessons in
leadership applicable to any business, sport or self-development,
all wrapped up in a unique insight into the working ways of Sir
Alex Ferguson.
This is the story of Lars and his companions...time-lost and
scattered across the Worlds of a fallen empire. A year ago two
Black Phoenix warriors appeared out of the dark of night to capture
Lars. His home was burned and his grandfather murdered. From there
Lars embarked on an adventure across the fantastical land of
Artaria. He became a soldier and fought in battle, journeyed the
realm with a tribal prince and a wizened warrior, and mourned the
death of a childhood friend. All the while an ancient enemy From
Beyond the Grave had crossed over to the reality of the living.
Aemellion, a mysterious man of impossible years, had emerged from
myth and scorn to fight on the side of light and life. And Anna, a
woman from another World and another era, had crossed the stellar
reaches in search of Lars. Now the story takes Lars into manhood
and to another World. But he does not go there alone. Aemellion
opened the Gate for Lars. And Anna stepped with him. There is
Alikae, the former prince of Artaria turned Brethren hunter.
Gallion, the trepid and unfocused Elemantalist. And Sir Sheldon,
the Last of the Wyvernknights. They will sail on the endless oceans
and traverse the coldest mountains; they will meet new companions
and confront old enemies; and as plans unravel and victory eludes
them death may be the only choice that remains. Epic in its scope
and spanning Worlds, the Black Phoenix Cycle will take you to the
nightfall of an interstellar civilization, and back in time to its
pinnacle. And through the millennia, two enemies will play out a
game where the barrier between the living and the dead is ruptured
and those closest to them...regardless of love, loyalty, or
sacrifice...are merely pawns. The Cycle continues...on Camaroon.
Artaria This is the story of Lars, the warrior and hero for
throughout the ages. His story begins when he is still, admittedly,
an unknown and unimportant boy. On a predestined night the very
foundation of his life is broken when two armored warriors arrive
on dark steeds to capture him. His home in the forest, the only one
he has ever known, is burned to the ground and his grandfather, the
only family he has ever known, is murdered. Thus Lars embarks on an
adventure across a diverse and fantastical landscape of drakes and
wyverns, and of warring nations and errant knights. He will cross
from adolescence into manhood. He will meet a prince turned
vagabond and the spoiled son of a tribal chief. In the midst of
battle he will befriend a gruff swordsman and will be reunited with
other friends thought long abandoned. Unfortunately for Lars and
for those he will come to know, the adventure does not stop there.
An ancient enemy From Beyond the Grave has crossed over to the
reality of the living. A mysterious man of impossible years has
come to fight on the side of light and life but his means to
victory may be so dark and ruthless that Lars does not know if he
too is an enemy. And a woman from another world and another era
will cross the very stars to find him. Epic in its scope and
spanning worlds and history, the Black Phoenix Cycle will take you
to the nightfall of an interstellar civilization, and back through
time to its pinnacle. And through all the millennia, two enemies
will play out a game where the barrier between the living and the
dead is ruptured and those closest to them.regardless of love,
