Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Taylor and Dogg two young handsome men on a perilous journey from
Texas to New York meeting many characters such as Elephant Man,
Sugar Daddy and Reverend Omar among many others. It is not an easy
story to tell because of the pain, suffering and bloodshed that
remind us of the terrifying events that are happening in our
neighborhoods every day.
Religious terrorism has become the scourge of the modern world.
What causes a person to kill innocent strangers in the name of
religion? As both a clinical psychologist and an authority on
comparative religion, James W. Jones is uniquely qualified to
address this increasingly urgent question. Research on the
psychology of violence shows that several factors work to make
ordinary people turn "evil." These include feelings of humiliation
or shame, a tendency to see the world in black and white, and
demonization or dehumanization of other people. Authoritarian
religion or "fundamentalism," Jones shows, is a particularly rich
source of such ideas and feelings, which he finds throughout the
writings of Islamic jihadists, such as the 9/11 conspirators.
Jones goes on to apply this model to two very different religious
groups that have engaged in violence: Aum Shinrikyo, the Buddhist
splinter group behind the sarin gas attacks in the Tokyo subway
system, and members of the extreme religious right in the U.S. who
have advocated and committed violence against abortion providers.
Jones notes that not every adherent of an authoritarian group will
turn to violence, and he shows how theories of personality
development can explain why certain individuals are easily
recruited to perform terrorist acts.
A book on sustainable living, inspired by The Sustainable Development Goals (formulated by the United Nations). Small Steps, Big Change explores small, everyday goals kids can aim for to engender positive change in our world. With a simple, upbeat language that children will understand, and illustrated in a bold and quirky style by James Jones (One More Try, The Perfect Fit), this is the ideal guide to inspire children to help build a better tomorrow. From making puppets out of old socks, to spreading kindness and protecting our oceans, kids will love getting involved in all the ways we can make a difference to the world. Just like other books about climate change and environmentalism for kids such as Thank You, Earth by April Pulley Sayre, What a Waste by Jess French and Somebody Swallowed Stanley by Sarah Roberts and Hannah Peck, Small Steps, Big Change is the perfect handbook for changing the world one small step at a time.
Ewan James Jones argues that Coleridge engaged most significantly
with philosophy not through systematic argument, but in verse.
Jones carries this argument through a series of sustained close
readings, both of canonical texts such as Christabel and The Rime
of the Ancient Mariner, and also through less familiar verse such
as Limbo. Such work shows that the essential elements of poetic
expression - a poem's metre, rhythm, rhyme and other such formal
features - enable Coleridge to think in an original and distinctive
manner, which his systematic philosophy impeded. Attentiveness to
such formal features, which has for some time been overlooked in
Coleridge scholarship, permits a rethinking of the relationship
between eighteenth-century verse and philosophy more broadly, as it
engages issues that include affect, materiality and self-identity.
Coleridge's poetic thinking, Jones argues, both consolidates and
radicalises the current literary critical rediscovery of form.

No matter how hard she tries, Triangle doesn't roll like the
circles, or stack like the squares...so she sets off to find
friends that look exactly like her. But when she finds the other
triangles, playtime isn't as fun. She misses the shapes that roll
and stack; she misses being different. So she starts a new quest,
one that gets all of the different shapes playing and having fun
together!
James Jones explains what Jesus has to teach us about respect for
the creation and the environment. This book includes questions for
group study or personal reflection.
'Read this for the chapter on Hillsborough alone' JEREMY VINE
'Makes a powerful plea for the "earthing" of God's vision of
justice' BARONESS HALE 'A plentiful source of comfort, strength
and, most importantly, hope' ANDY BURNHAM For twenty-five years,
Bishop James Jones has been working on the frontlines to try and
create a more just and merciful world. In Justice for Christ's
Sake, he reflects on the work he has been a part of and the ways in
which justice and faith go hand in hand. With touching honesty, he
tells of his time as a Bishop and his role on three key independent
panels into matters of national conscience - including chairing the
panel that investigated the Hillsborough Disaster of 1989, when
ninety-six Liverpool football fans tragically lost their lives. All
the dimensions of justice that James has experienced -
environmental, social, racial, political and judicial - are vividly
conveyed, as he offers up the lessons he has learned in his search
for a better, fairer way to live and how the answers might be found
in the teachings of Jesus. Justice for Christ's Sake is a
remarkable and fascinating Christian memoir, that offers a unique
perspective on some of the most significant inquiries of the last
three decades. It is a book that encourages us all in our longing
for justice, with insight born from first-hand experience, and will
leave you with a better of understanding of events that have shaped
conversations on justice in Britain. Most of us long deep down for
a fairer world, however selfishly we may act on occasions. James
Jones reassures us that we are not alone and that we can all be
part of the fight for justice for Christ's sake.
In recent years American colleges and universities have become the
locus of impassioned debates about race-conscious social policies,
as conflicting theories clash over the ways to distribute the
advantages of higher education in a fair and just manner. Just
below the surface of these policy debates lies a complex tangle of
ideologies, histories, grievances, and emotions that interfere with
a rational analysis of the issues involved. As never before, the
need for empirical research on the significance of race in American
society seems essential to solving the manifest problems of this
highly politicized and emotionally charged aspect of American
higher education.
The research evidence presented in this book has a direct relevance
to those court cases that challenge race-conscious admission
policies of colleges and universities. Though many questions still
need to be addressed by future research, the empirical data
collected to date makes it clear that affirmative action policies
"do" work and are still very much needed in American higher
education. This book also provides a framework for examining the
evidence pertaining to issues of fairness, merit, and the benefits
of diversity in an effort to assist courts and the public in
organizing beliefs about race and opportunity.

AÂ warm and funny eco-adventure with a clever message about
looking after our blue planet, perfect for budding David
Attenboroughs! When Little Fish and her family encounter an odd new
fish bobbing along on its own, they embark on an exciting journey
to reunite it with its family. But Odd Fish isn’t the only
creature who needs Little Fish’s help. Turtle has a tummy ache
and Octopus’s tentacles are tangled. Clever readers will spot the
one thing that links them all . . . plastic. Maybe Odd Fish
doesn’t belong in the sea after all? Eight million tonnes of
plastic find their way into our oceans and rivers every year.
That’s equal to dumping one rubbish truck every minute into the
sea! This urgent problem is highlighted for the youngest readers
with gentle humour and engaging characters, and offers practical
ways we we can all make a real difference to protect our oceans and
the creatures that live in them, and opens up key discussions about
the environment and the topical issues highlighted in David
Attenborough's Blue Planet.

In 1975, James Jones--the American author whose novels "From Here
to Eternity" and "The Thin Red Line" had made him the preeminent
voice of the enlisted man in World War II--was chosen to write the
text for an oversized coffee table book edited by former "Yank
"magazine art director Art Weithas and featuring visual art from
World War II. The book was a best seller, praised for both its
images and for Jones's text, but in subsequent decades the artwork
made it impossible for the book to be reproduced in its original
form, and it fell out of print and was forgotten. This edition of
"WWII" makes available for the first time in more than twenty years
Jones's stunning text, his only extended nonfiction writing on the
war that defined his generation.
Moving chronologically and thematically through the complex
history of the conflict, Jones interweaves his own vivid memories
of soldiering in the Pacific--from the look on a Japanese fighter
pilot's face as he bombed Pearl Harbor, so close that Jones could
see him smile and wave, to hitting the beach under fire in
Guadalcanal--while always returning to resounding larger themes.
Much of "WWII" can be read as a tribute to the commitment of
American soldiers, but Jones also pulls no punches, bluntly
chronicling resentment at the privilege of the officers,
questionable strategic choices, wartime suffering, disorganization,
the needless loss of life, and the brutal realization that a single
soldier is ultimately nothing but a replaceable cog in a heartless
machine. As the generation that fought and won World War II leaves
the stage, James Jones's book reminds us of what they
accomplished--and what they sacrificed to do so.
