Atlantic City has many nicknames: The worlds Playground, the newest one is Do/AC. Some people refer to it as Sin City of the East. Private detective Maxwell Diamond isn't sure he even has a case when he is asked to look into a car crash that the police ruled a accident. But every time he comes up with a possible suspect they end up dead. Max is sure he has a case when somebody tries to kill him. The investigation leads Max to Philadelphia and Las Vegas, and to a beach where Max gets a sunburn in an embarrassing place.

Non-myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation (also known as mini-transplantation or reduced-intensity conditioning transplantation) is a major advance in the field of hematopoietic transplantation within the last 5 years. This approach uses non-cytotoxic or reduced-intensity cytotoxic therapy to prepare patients for allografting of hematopoietic stem cells and lymphocytes. It has the potential to deliver the potent anti-tumor immunotherapy and bone marrow replacement capacity of allogeneic stem cell transplantation to patients with reduced treatment-related morbidity and mortality. It may also enable allogeneic transplantation in patients who would be considered ineligible for conventional transplants because of co-morbidity or advanced age. However, this approach may necessitate more careful monitoring of post-transplant chimerism and malignant disease-status than is usual with conventional allografting. There is also controversy regarding the best preparative regimen and graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis to use.

Some of the legendary gunmen of the Old West were lawmen, but more, like Billy the Kid and Jesse James, were outlaws. Tom Horn (1860-1903) was both. Lawman, soldier, hired gunman, detective, outlaw, and assassin, this darkly enigmatic figure has fascinated Americans ever since his death by hanging the day before his forty-third birthday. In this masterful historical biography, Larry Ball, a distinguished historian of western lawmen and outlaws, presents the definitive account of Horn's career. Horn became a civilian in the Apache wars when he was still in his early twenties. He fought in the last major battle with the Apaches on U.S. soil and chased the Indians into Mexico with General George Crook. He bragged about murdering renegades, and the brutality of his approach to law and order foreshadows his controversial career as a Pinkerton detective and his trial for murder in Wyoming. Having worked as a hired gun and a range detective in the years after the Johnson County War, he was eventually tried and hanged for killing a fourteen-year-old boy. Horn's guilt is still debated. To an extent no previous scholar has managed to achieve, Ball distinguishes the truth about Horn from the numerous legends. Both the facts and their distortions are revealing, especially since so many of the untruths come from Horn's own autobiography. As a teller of tall tales, Horn burnished his own reputation throughout his life. In spite of his services as a civilian scout and packer, his behavior frightened even his lawless companions. Although some writers have tried to elevate him to the top rung of frontier gun wielders, questions still shadow Horn's reputation. Ball's study concludes with a survey of Horn as described by historians, novelists, and screenwriters since his own time. These portrayals, as mixed as the facts on which they are based, show a continuing fascination with the life and legend of Tom Horn.

The seventy five poems are written like an artist painting a picture. Lots of stories of emotion and feeling. Some in named places. Some with romantic tones. Some will make the reader laugh, hopefully others will make them cry. A lot of poems are based on real life experiences. In some I have used my imagination to enhance the stories. I have tried to put my poems in some sort of order. The idea is that wherever you start reading it continues in an order which then finishes at the same place you started at From the start of the book the poems are about creativity. followed by a group of poems about loss of love and others about romance. Then my experiences while out walking. Followed by poems about my favourite county Cornwall. Then my first love which is trains. Two poems about a topic I feel strongly about and that is homelessness. Then my second love which is alcohol. Three poems about lock-down. Followed by poems about cowboys. Three poems about my family, but with a twist. Followed by poems about animals. As we get near the end I look back , with poems about the brain and the head. Followed by one about cancer and one about dilemma. Finishing with a poem about creativity when writing a novel. Then we start again

I chose this title for my second collection as it was January 1st and, while relaxing after a heavy night, as we were celebrating The BEGINNING AND END, that's what I decided to call my new book, and I divided it into three sections: THE BEGINNING, THE BEGINNING AND THE END, THE END. THE POEMS ARE ABOUT A JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE. I have had several poems published in the Lumen and Camden anthologies as well as in Forward poetry anthologies. I have performed in Berkshire, London, Suffolk, and the West Country. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it.

Most of the poems have been wrote to perform I perform under the name of BRIAN THE AMAZING POET As I do a lot of performing in Windsor and London Have read at St Ives festival and many others have had poems published in some anthologies Very proud to have three published in the Lumen and Camden anthology. All money raised went to the cold weather project for the homeless The poetry book was born when I looked out of the window of my flat I now live in Looking back at my mobile home in Winkfield and the two family homes and holidays Looking back by observing and using a bit off imagination,with humour and sadness With lots of twists

This carefully researched study shows that although few southwestern sheriffs were genuine gunmen they were expected to wield firearms with nerve and determination in the line of duty. Elected for two-year terms, frontier sheriffs were the principal peace-keepers in counties that were often larger than New England states. As officers of the court, they defended settlers and protected their property from the ever- present violence of the frontier. Their duties ranged from tracking down stagecoach robbers and serving court warrants to locking up drunks and quelling domestic disputes. Sheriffs were also jail keepers, tax collectors, quarantine inspectors, court-appointed executioners, and dogcatchers. The breadth and detail of Ball's study, which includes informative lists of sheriffs, legal hangings, and lynchings, makes this volume the definitive work on frontier law enforcement.

First released in 1978 and still the best account of territorial law enforcement, this book presents a thoroughly researched, well-documented, and entertaining history of United States marshals in New Mexico and Arizona during the tumultuous territorial years. Included in the story are notable lawmen such as John Pratt, John E. Sherman, and Creighton M. Foraker and gunfighters like Billy the Kid, "Doc" Holliday, and the Earp Brothers. With detailed accounts of many other lesser-known lawmen and criminals, Ball gives a well-rounded history of the mundane as well as the spectacular incidents in the lives of these lawmen during the unstable territorial years.
