The novel The Eclipse Blues is a tale of reverse power and fortune that comes about in the United States thirty years into the 21st Century as a result of massive global warming that's referred to by scientist as "the global warming mega-effect." As a result of the "global warming mega-effect" many diseases such as tuberculosis, the West Nile virus, and malaria are widely manifested. The most extensive debilitating disease is metastasis skin cancer that grows into a pandemic and greatly impacts and destroys the lives of people with pale and fair complexions - mostly Caucasians - who, as a result, become gravely ill and suffer a high mortality rate that subsequently makes them the minority in the United States to people of color who discriminate against them and prompt Caucasians to fight for their civil rights and equal justice much like people of color did during previous decades. Two influential personalities, Lutheran Minister Jerry Hines and newspaper owner Dewey Washington, come to the forefront in the story as protagonists who work diligently to end discrimination, inequality, and injustice toward pale-skinned citizens. These men put a lot on the line, including their own well-being, and in the case of Washington, the life of his daughter who is kidnapped by deranged David Butterfield, who is the diabolic leader of the Pale-skinned People Warriors Party that has declared vengeance and therewith violence against people of color.

One of the characteristic features of Victorian poetry is dimness, a vanishing away-things blur with the motion of their passing, which seems inseparable from the mind's fading as it lets them go. Tennyson, Rossetti, Swinburne, and the young Yeats are elegists of the self; they render life as transparent, ghostlike, dissolving, ungraspable, nearly unrememberable. This vanishing away, this dimness, of Victorian poetry is most obvious in the twilights, mists, shadows, deep horizons, and flowing waters of its central landscape, but it is also a matter of sound and syntax, of repetition and rhythm, texture and line movement. Vanishing Lives examines these features and links them to larger issues, such as the psychology of the individual poets, and the Victorian and modern frames of mind. The tendencies under consideration are less ideas than forms or styles of feeling. They are so universal in the nineteenth century that they may not seem to call for comment, but for all their vagueness they are deep, powerful, resistant to change-an essential stratum of the experience of Victorian poetry. For poets like Yeats, who struggled to move beyond them, they were far more than the trappings of an outmoded poetry. They were a deeply ingrained aesthetic, a style, a morality, not only a way of art to be revised, but a way of living to be outgrown-a Tennysonian way.

Much has been written about the law as it affects new and minority religions, but relatively little has been written about how such religions react to the law. This book presents a wide variety of responses by minority religions to the legal environments within which they find themselves. An international panel of experts offer examples from North America, Europe and Asia demonstrating how religions with relatively little status may resort to violence or passive acceptance of the law; how they may change their beliefs or practices in order to be in compliance with the law; or how they may resort to the law itself in order to change their legal standing, sometimes by forging alliances with those with more power or authority to achieve their goals. The volume concludes by applying theoretical insights from sociological studies of law, religion and social movements to the variety of responses. The first systematic collection focussing on how minority religions respond to efforts at social control by various governmental agents, this book provides a vital reference for scholars of religion and the law, new religious movements, minority religions and the sociology of religion.

From the beginning, kings ruled Rome; Lucius Brutus established freedom and the consulship. So wrote the Roman historian Tacitus in the second century AD, but the view was orthodox. It is still widely accepted today. But how could the Romans of later times have possibly known anything about the origins of Rome, the rule and subsequent expulsion of their kings or the creation of the Republic when all those events took place centuries before anyone wrote any account of them? And just how useful are those later accounts, those few that happen to survive, when the Romans not only viewed the past in light of the present but also retold stories of past events in ways designed to meet contemporary needs? This book attempts to assess what the Romans wrote about the early development of their state. While it may not, in the end, be possible to say very much about archaic Rome, it is certainly possible to draw conclusions about later political ideas and their influence on what the Romans said about their past, about the writing of history at Rome and about the role that stories of past events could play even centuries later.

500 aphorisms. Our best-seller. In "Boston Review," Brenda O'Shaughnessy wrote, "Readers will be obsessed by this book; they will memorize passages, give copies to friends, proselytize. That's because "Vectors" so generously provides the best that poetry can offer. It is a masterpiece of practicality, beauty, and solace."

The Totally Football Book will feature the best writing from the Totally Football Show regulars, who by happy coincidence also happen to be among the finest football journalists around, and will be the definitive account of where football is at. Containing a series of essays looking at the state of the game, with the combination of irreverence and analysis that everyone will know from the podcast and lots more besides.

Daniel Storey looks at the war in Ukraine through the prism of football, thinking about the game's place in the wider world and how, even though such astonishing events should mean football doesn't matter, it still really does.

The Inter Totally Cup crowned a new champion this year, and with the sort of trivia that has stumped even the podcast's finest brains, plus a set of teasers about the season just gone, you can test your knowledge against ours.

The flora and fauna of Southeast Asia are exceptionally diverse. The region includes several terrestrial biodiversity hotspots and is the principal global hotspot for marine diversity, but it also faces the most intense challenges of the current global biodiversity crisis. Providing reviews, syntheses and results of the latest research into Southeast Asian earth and organismal history, this book investigates the history, present and future of the fauna and flora of this bio- and geodiverse region. Leading authorities in the field explore key topics including palaeogeography, palaeoclimatology, biogeography, population genetics and conservation biology, illustrating research approaches and themes with spatially, taxonomically and methodologically focused case studies. The volume also presents methodological advances in population genetics and historical biogeography. Exploring the fascinating environmental and biotic histories of Southeast Asia, this is an ideal resource for graduate students and researchers as well as environmental NGOs.

This book gathers under one roof poems from all of Richardson's earlier collections, a number of which are out of print: "Reservations" (1977), "Second Guesses" (1984), "As If"(1992), "A Suite for Lucretians" (1999), "How Things Are" (2000), and "Vectors: Aphorisms & Ten-Second Essays" (2001), as well as a large selection of new poems and aphorisms.

A distillation of three decades of work, "Interglacial" will introduce this poet to a new generation of readers. Richardson fans will be pleased to discover early poems long out of print, and to see this poet's work in a larger, retrospective context.

Praise for Vectors: Aphorisms & Ten-Second Essays:

"Not since the appearance of W.S. Merwin's translations and adaptations of aphorisms in "Asian Figures," some thirty years ago, has an American poet put down so much delightful and compelling wisdom."-Daryl Scroggins in "American Literary Review"

"Page after page there is the exciting sense of something hidden and true coming to light, bringing with it a sense of delighted recognition and discovery for the reader, and articulated in a way that has never quite been done before. I can think of no deeper pleasure a work can bring."-Laurie Sheck

"Vectors is the kind of book you read, reread, thumb through, and pick up several extra copies because you want to share the joy you found in perusing it with friends."-Scott Hightower in "Barrow Street"
