The Queen who became a Saint
Born in 1045 in Hungary, Margaret was the daughter of an English Prince, Edward the Exile. She returned to Britain in 1057 when the childless Edward the Confessor required a successor because her father and subsequently her brother were considered to be legitimate heirs to the English throne. In the event the crown went to Harold Godwinson whose ruin came in 1066 with the Norman invasion under Duke William. The Norman victory at Hasting and rapid advance prompted Margaret, her mother and her brother-who had recently and briefly taken the throne-to flee to Northumberland. Margaret's mother decided the family's safety lay in returning to the continent, but a storm at sea drove their vessel ashore in Scotland where they sought the protection of the king, Malcolm III. He and Margaret were subsequently married. The Norman domination of England soon brought about the infamous 'harrying of the north' and there followed a series of border engagements between the Normans and Malcolm's Scots motivated principally by Malcolm's support for Margaret's brother Edgar's territorial claims. These border wars cost Margaret the lives of her husband and her eldest son who were both killed at Alnwick in 1093. The queen survived them by just three days. Margaret was well known for her charitable works to the extent that in 1250 she was canonised by Pope Innocent IV. This concise overview of the life of St Margaret, Queen of Scotland, is available in softcover and hardcover with dust jacket.

Rookie cop Billy Costigan grew up in crime. That makes him the perfect mole, the man on the inside of the mob run by boss Frank Costello. It's his job to win Costello's trust and help his detective handlers bring Costello down. Meanwhile, detective Colin Sullivan has everyone's trust. No one suspects he's Costello's mole within the police department.

How these covert lives cross and collide is at the ferocious core of the Academy Award-winning The Departed. Martin Scorsese directs, guiding a cast for the ages in a visceral tale of crime and consequences. This is searing, can't-look-away filmmaking: like looking into the eyes of a con - or a cop - with a gun.

It's been called a "new paradigm" and "the medicine of the future." At the same time, it is so profoundly changing our understanding of health and healing, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has poured $190 million into it. What's the brouhaha about? The emerging new science of epigenetics, which reveals the foods you eat switch genes on or off that can lead either to wellness or illness. But this "medicine of the future" does even more, for it provides a crystal ball not only into your potential health, but also that of your children, even unborn generations. Be assured: the age of nutritional epigenetics has arrived. Pottenger's Prophecy: How Food Resets Genes for Wellness or Illness reveals the foods that launch your genes on a path toward illness, as well as the diet that can activate "health" genes-often instantly-that promote a longer, healthier life. Regardless of your current health status, Pottenger's Prophecy is the source for anyone who wants to eat to reset genes-NOW-for health, healing, and longevity. Read it and discover the food and nutrition secrets you and your offspring need to live up to your epigenetic health potential...for life. More than 425 references.
