Animated adventure featuring the voice of Freddie Prinze Jr. When
Pi (Prinze Jr), an ordinary fish from Boston, arrives at the exotic
reef to live with his Aunt Pearl (Fran Descher), he is immediately
attracted to Cordelia (Evan Rachel Wood), the fish of his dreams.
There's just one problem - Troy (Donal Logue), the meanest shark in
the ocean, who not only patrols the reef keeping its community in
fear of becoming his next meal, but also has his eye on Cordelia
and wants her for himself. Pi must join up with his new group of
friends and try and outwit Troy and his henchmen, save the reef and
win Cordelia.

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.

Manchester has the largest and most active consular corps in the
country outside London, and this book represents the first ever
detailed history of consuls and their activities for any region of
the United Kingdom. Consuls look after the interests of foreign
powers, and the first appointments in Manchester coincide with its
emergence as the first city of the Industrial Revolution, and the
financial and commercial hub of northern England. Virtually every
country in the world, from Argentina to the former Yugoslavia, from
the Ivory Coast to the Sandwich Islands, has provided consuls based
in Manchester: no fewer than about 800 consuls have served in
Manchester over the last 200 years. Some have been honorary
consuls, others career diplomats; some have been nationals of the
country they represent, others have been British, most with a
personal association with the state they serve. Their
responsibilities and privileges vary widely, and many have played a
significant role in the life of the region. The new international
context of a shrinking world gives the present role of consuls an
increasing importance. In this important new book, David John Fox,
himself a serving consul - for Chile - charts the fascinating,
varied and, to many Mancunians, perhaps surprising role which these
consuls and their missions have played in the wider history of the
region.
"The Ball" takes us to the farthest reaches of the globe and the
deepest recesses of our ancient past to answer a question asked by
every child on Earth: Why do we play ball? Inspired by the
curiosity of his sports-obsessed 8-year-old son, anthropologist
John Fox sets off on a global adventure to explore the untold
history of our favorite ball games, investigate their origins and
evolutionary tracks, and discern how one of humanity's simplest
inventions - the humble, ubiquitous ball - has staked an unrivaled
claim on our history, our passions, our money, and our lives. From
the jungles of Mexico to the farm country of Ohio, from the courts
of the ancient Pharaohs to the virtual playing fields of Second
Life, Rolling Heads and Pigskins puts us center court for the
gritty, ritualistic, violent, bizarre, primal drama of ball games
as we've played them across the centuries. Part history, part
travelogue, and part sportscast, "The Ball" spins tales of the ball
itself as actor and instigator, a player who taps our human urge to
hit, kick, throw, and tackle. In the end, "The Ball" removes us
from the scandals, corruption, and commercialism of today's sports
to uncover the true reasons we play ball, helping us reclaim our
fundamental human connection to the games we love.
