THE KID is an exciting story. One that readers upon begining to
read will have a hard time putting it down until they finish it.
The owner of a Major League Basball Team shocks the sports world by
hiring THE KID, a ninteen year old college player as the manager of
his team. The fast moving drama, even for those that are not
basball fans, will enjoy the excitement and the Christian message
it contains.
This is a story about William Murdock. The time frame spans a
thirty year period that starts in the mid forties and ends in the
mid seventies. It takes Murdock from his childhood to adulthood and
chronicles the adventures he encounters. His adventure starts with
the accidental killing of an elderly man on the island of Jamaica.
With no passport he leaves the island by boat and is stopped by a
Cuban gun boat. He is arrested as a spy and sentenced to ten years
on a work farm. He meets Joseph Cruse, a rich cattle baron who
befriends him. Cruse takes Murdock to Columbia to help uncover a
plot that is trying to discredit him and steal his fortune. They
get involved with modern day cattle rustlers and a mercinary army.
An all out war ensues so they can protect what they have which
includes their lives. This is an action packed novel that will hold
your interest to the very end.
This enlightening book provides the first systematic introduction
to, and exploration of, the emerging system of industrial relations
in China, and draws on the authors' extensive research and direct
involvement in the developments taking place. The authors argue
that there are both unifying and fragmenting elements to the
ongoing development of industrial relations, but overall it is one
in which the state continues to maintain a major, and direct,
influence. Divisions between workers and managers may be escalating
with increased open conflicts, but this book reveals that the
picture is far more complex and contradictory than to assume that
the solution is convergence with western style industrial relations
systems. They conclude that industrial relations institutions and
processes still act within a political context and with the guiding
hand of the Chinese Communist party. Industrial Relations in China
draws on up-to-date material and will ensure the book's appeal to
industrial relations and Chinese scholars. It will also appeal to a
wider audience of Asian labour and development studies scholars.
This book focuses on sports coaching and sports teaching and how
touching young sports participants has been redefined as dubious
and dangerous. Coaches are constrained by a framework of
regulations and guidelines which create anxiety, and many coaches
now question the risks and benefits of their continuing
involvement. The book includes some data from a recently completed
ESRC project: ('Hands-off' sports coaching: the politics of touch)
and builds on previous ESRC research (Touchlines - the problematic
of touching between children and professionals) which illuminated
tensions in touching behaviours between professionals and children
in education and care settings. It considers the negative effects
of particular understandings of risk and moral panic around
touching and related behaviours where adults, children and young
people interact, and makes a significant contribution to critical
discussions around related practice, pedagogy, politics, and
policy. While focussed on sports coaching and teaching, it is
germane to the situation of all those acting in loco parentis. This
book was originally published as a special issue of Sport Education
and Society.
To address the increasing demands of device scaling, new materials
are being introduced into conventional Si CMOS processing at an
unprecedented rate. Presentations collected here focus on
understanding, from a chemistry and materials perspective, the
mechanism of interface formation and defects at interfaces, for
both conventional Si and alternative channel (Ge or III-V) systems.
Several papers address reliability concerns for high-k/metal gate
(basic physical models, charge trapping, etc.), while others cover
characterization of the thin films and interfaces which comprise
the gate stack. Topics include: advanced Si-based gate stacks; and
alternate channel materials.

Our local councillors come from people close to their electorate:
family, friends, neighbours, work mates, people down your street.
They might be down your street - but you don’t feel that they are
up to it! They spend multi billions of our money annually on
schools, housing, social services, roads, waste management, sport
and leisure, environmental and public health, planning amongst many
other day-to-day matters vital to us all. But what do we
really know about our elected representatives and how they work,
what good they do, and what really happens behind the scenes? One
in a Million does just that, taking you into the office of Sir Bill
Taylor. Sir Bill Taylor has almost fifty years of successful
experience in public service as a full-time youth and community
worker, manager & trainer professionally and as a Councillor,
Committee chair, Executive Member, Mayor and deputy Mayor, Deputy
Leader and Leader of Blackburn with Darwen Council. He was
constituency agent to Cabinet member Jack Straw for over thirty
years. They transformed how Councils & constituency MPs
communicated and engaged with communities. Many things he
introduced in communities, education, schools, colleges, finance
and social mobility were visited by prominent national figures and
widely replicated nationally as good practice. During these
times his work has been described as “unique unparalleled
elsewhere†and “in a league of their ownâ€. What was
his investiture at the palace like? What is a royal garden party
like? How do you install a new bishop? How do local political
parties operate? What is a Constituency Agent? What’s canvassing
at election time really about? How do mayors get appointed, and
what do they do? Find out the answers to these questions and more
in this fascinating inside look at a dedicated councillor's career.

Railways were invented to carry goods, primarily minerals. By the
time of nationalisation, British Rails role as 'common carrier'
whereby they were obliged to carry any type of freight traffic
offered to them - had fully developed.
All the vehicles of the BR era to the mid-1990s are described here,
from the humble and ubiquitous four-wheelers to the rarer
multi-axle monsters, the text supported by many photographs and
almost 150 dimensioned drawings and diagrams. The book also
examines and explains the principles of loading and securing, and
how those principles were applied to a huge range of traffic.
Everyone is faced with daily decisions. Most are incidental while
others are life changing. However, there is only one decision that
lasts for eternity. Sarah, a nurse with a strong faith in God meets
Jason, an accountant with a strong faith in himself. A whirlwind
courtship leads the two young professionals from different
upbringings into marriage. It will take a helicopter ride, a
blizzard, chased by the mob, and a visit to The City of Lights to
force each one to make the biggest decision of their lives.

Six men God Used To Make A Difference
Countless millions of men have been born, lived their lives, and
passed off the stage of time unknown to the vast multitudes who
lived during and after their time of life. While their lives may
have been meaningful to their families, neighbors, and friends, no
record exists of what they did or what they said. No record exists
of how God may have used them to bless the people around
them.
From the time God created the earth, there have been men who
have made such a difference to the lives of those who lived with
them and who came after them that God chose to record what they
did, what they said, and the way in which God used their lives to
bless others.
This book is an examination of the record in Scripture of the lives
of six men: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, and Moses. These
were men of like passion such as we are and yet their lives were so
extraordinarily touched by God's hand that we are left with a
practical reassurance of God's righteous dealings with men, no
matter what their weaknesses may be.
By examining the lives of these six men, we may see God is still
dealing with His people today to show us the way we ought to live
our lives in praise and honor of His glory.
The Author shares with readers many of his experiences in
revivals he conducted and others conducted. He also shares several
of his soul winning one on on experences. Also is included in the
book a personl guide for those who want to become soul winners or
beter soul winners. Different ways to witness to the lost
The novel is semi-fiction. It is based on actual events that did
not occur in the Middle Ages but in the second half of the
twentieth century. The central character is Esther, a tomboy who
desperately wanted to be a member of an all-male gang and who
believed she could secure her dream by letting all the gang's
members make love to her. Inevitably she became pregnant, more than
once while still an unmarried teenager. Malcolm Neilson decided
that the veneer of the village's churchy respectability had to be
preserved at all costs. Esther had to be punished.She was exiled
and forced to accept Malcolm's rigid conditions. How she eventually
got her revenge forms the climax of this saga which contains many
unexpected twists as the apparently idyllic fun of childhood became
replaced by the brutality of adulthood.
