The first novel based on the thrilling Paramount+ TV series Star
Trek: Strange New Worlds! When an experimental shuttlecraft fails,
Captain Christopher Pike suspects a mechanical malfunction—only
to discover the very principles on which Starfleet bases its
technology have simply stopped functioning. He and his crewmates
are forced to abandon ship in a dangerous maneuver that scatters
their party across the strangest new world they’ve ever
encountered. First Officer Una Chin-Riley finds herself fighting to
survive an untamed wilderness where dangers lurk at every turn.
Young cadet Nyota Uhura struggles in a volcanic wasteland where
things are not as they seem. Science Officer Spock is missing
altogether. And Pike gets the chance to fulfill a childhood dream:
to live the life of a cowboy in a world where the tools of the
twenty-third century are of no use. Yet even in the saddle, Pike is
still very much a starship captain, with all the responsibilities
that entails. Setting out to find his crewmates, he encounters a
surprising face from his past—and discovers that one people’s
utopia might be someone else’s purgatory. He must lead an
exodus—or risk a calamity of galactic proportions that even the
Starship Enterprise is powerless to stop...

The World Is Desperate for What You Have As believers, we have
received unimaginable grace from the Father. Unfortunately, we
often separate our spiritual life from our everyday lives. We fail
to value the grace given to us, and we miss the opportunity to
bring heaven to earth. And then we wonder what light we can bring
to a world in deep darkness. With depth and insight, Dr. John
Jackson shows that grace distributed is the key to sweeping social
change, hope and revival. Through biblical teaching and prophetic
revelation, Dr. Jackson helps you partner with the Holy Spirit to
step into the fullness of all God has called you to be--and to
unleash the redemptive presence of Jesus in your home, workplace
and community. God wants to use you right now, right where you are.
It's time to become a heavenly ambassador that shares the grace
you've been given with a world aching for transformation. "In this
catalytic book lies an essential message for the Church today. I
highly recommend it."--KRIS VALLOTTON "This Spirit-filled and
deeply vulnerable book is a gift to us all. Don't miss
it!"--MARGARET FEINBERG "Discover your God-given abilities and use
them to usher the grace and love of Christ into the here and
now."--SAMUEL RODRIGUEZ
Darwinism, Democracy, and Race examines the development and defence
of an argument that arose at the boundary between anthropology and
evolutionary biology in twentieth-century America. In its fully
articulated form, this argument simultaneously discredited
scientific racism and defended free human agency in Darwinian
terms. The volume is timely because it gives readers a key to
assessing contemporary debates about the biology of race. By
working across disciplinary lines, the book's focal figures--the
anthropologist Franz Boas, the cultural anthropologist Alfred
Kroeber, the geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky, and the physical
anthropologist Sherwood Washburn--found increasingly persuasive
ways of cutting between genetic determinist and social
constructionist views of race by grounding Boas's racially
egalitarian, culturally relativistic, and democratically
pluralistic ethic in a distinctive version of the genetic theory of
natural selection. Collaborators in making and defending this
argument included Ashley Montagu, Stephen Jay Gould, and Richard
Lewontin. Darwinism, Democracy, and Race will appeal to advanced
undergraduates, graduate students, and academics interested in
subjects including Philosophy, Critical Race Theory, Sociology of
Race, History of Biology and Anthropology, and Rhetoric of Science.
The Saxons put the county of Bedfordshire on the map, and signs of
the earliest churches from this period remain today. Church
building continued after the Norman Conquest, not least the
foundation of the Abbey at Elstow by William the Conqueror’s
niece, Judith of Lens, towards the end of the 11th century. One of
Bedfordshire’s most famous sons, John Bunyan, was baptised in the
church of St. Mary and St. Helena, at Elstow, over 500 years later,
just one of approximately 50 places of worship featured in this
selection of Bedfordshire churches following John and Jenny
Jackson’s extensive travels around their home county’s places
of worship. With around 100 supporting photos, their selection is
not just about the best in the county. It is a cross-section that
reflects different styles, periods and locations within one of the
country’s smallest counties. Many of these more remotely located
churches are in little known villages, but nevertheless offer a
charm of their own alongside the more sizeable communities of
Bedford and Luton. This book aims to show the wide diversity on
offer within the Bedfordshire area of the diocese of St. Albans.
This fascinating picture of an important part of the history of
Bedfordshire over the centuries will be of interest to all those
who live in or are visiting this attractive county in England.
A quick look at today's map of the county of Leicestershire and
it's easy to see that its county town, Leicester, sits at an
important railway crossroads. With London to the south and the East
Midlands cities of Derby and Nottingham to the north, the line
linking St Pancras and Sheffield is crossed in Leicester by one of
England's most important east-west link lines. This link provides
passenger rail journey opportunities to and from Birmingham to the
west and the cities of Peterborough and Cambridge to the east. In
addition, it is playing an increasingly important role as a freight
route to and from East Anglia, including connecting the UK's
largest container port at Felixstowe with a number of terminals
across the country. The line between Leicester and Burton on Trent
may have lost its passenger service, but it remains an important
access route to the quarries in the area around Coalville. The
county's railways may have been drastically pruned by the Beeching
Axe, but they still have a wide variety of traffic on offer. In
this book John Jackson looks at the variety of traffic at work on
the county's main lines. The story is completed by a glance at
today's roll of Brush's workshops in Loughborough and loco
servicing and stabling facility now occupying the former depot at
Leicester itself.
The last twenty years have seen an unprecedented rise in the use of
secret courts or 'closed material proceedings' largely brought
about in response to the need to protect intelligence sources in
the fight against terrorism. This has called into question the
commitment of legal systems to long-cherished principles of
adversarial justice and due process. Foremost among the measures
designed to minimise the prejudice caused to parties who have been
excluded from such proceedings has been the use of 'special
advocates' who are given access to sensitive national security
material and can make representations to the court on behalf of
excluded parties. Special advocates are now deployed across a range
of administrative, civil and criminal proceedings in many common
law jurisdictions including the UK, Canada, New Zealand, Hong Kong
and Australia. This book analyses the professional services special
advocates offer across a range of different types of closed
proceedings. Drawing on extensive interviews with special advocates
and with lawyers and judges who have worked with them, the book
examines the manner in which special advocates are appointed and
supported, how their position differs from that of ordinary counsel
within the adversarial system, and the challenges they face in the
work that they do. Comparisons are made between different special
advocate systems and with other models of security-cleared counsel,
including that used in the United States, to consider what changes
might be made to strengthen their adversarial role in closed
proceedings. In making an assessment of the future of special
advocacy, the book argues that there is a need to reconceptualise
the unique role that special advocates play in the administration
of justice.

The Handbook of Communication History addresses central ideas,
social practices, and media of communication as they have developed
across time, cultures, and world geographical regions. It attends
to both the varieties of communication in world history and the
historical investigation of those forms in communication and media
studies. The Handbook editors view communication as encompassing
patterns, processes, and performances of social interaction,
symbolic production, material exchange, institutional formation,
social praxis, and discourse. As such, the history of communication
cuts across social, cultural, intellectual, political,
technological, institutional, and economic history.
The volume examines the history of communication history; the
history of ideas of communication; the history of communication
media; and the history of the field of communication. Readers will
explore the history of the object under consideration (relevant
practices, media, and ideas), review its manifestations in
different regions and cultures (comparative dimensions), and orient
toward current thinking and historical research on the topic
(current state of the field). As a whole, the volume gathers
disparate strands of communication history into one volume,
offering an accessible and panoramic view of the development of
communication over time and geographical places, and providing a
catalyst to further work in communication history.
An all-new novel based upon the explosive Star Trek TV series! No
one in the history of histories has lost more than Philippa
Georgiou, ruler of the Terran Empire. Forced to take refuge in the
Federation's universe, she bides her time until Section 31, a rogue
spy force within Starfleet, offers her a chance to work as their
agent. She has no intention of serving under anyone else, of
course; her only interest is escape. But when a young Trill, Emony
Dax, discovers a powerful interstellar menace, Georgiou recognizes
it as a superweapon that escaped her grasp in her own universe.
Escorted by a team sent by an untrusting Federation to watch over
her, the emperor journeys to a region forbidden to travelers. But
will what she finds there end the threat-or give "Agent Georgiou"
the means to create her old empire anew?
The thrilling adventure based on the acclaimed Star Trek: Picard TV
series! Starfleet was everything for Cristobal Rios...until one
horrible, inexplicable day when it all went wrong. Aimless and
adrift, he grasps at a chance for a future as an independent
freighter captain in an area betrayed by the Federation, the border
region with the former Romulan Empire. His greatest desire: to be
left alone. But solitude isn't in the cards for the captain of La
Sirena, who falls into debt to a roving gang of hoodlums from a
planet whose society is based on Prohibition-era Earth. Teamed
against his will with Ledger, his conniving overseer, Rios begins
an odyssey that brings him into conflict with outlaws and fortune
seekers, with power brokers and relic hunters across the stars.
Exotic loves and locales await-as well as dangers galore-and Rios
learns the hard way that good crewmembers are hard to find, even
when you can create your own. And while his meeting with Jean-Luc
Picard is years away, Rios finds himself drawing on the Starfleet
legend's experiences when he discovers a mystery that began on one
of the galaxy's most important days.... (TM), (R), & (c) 2021

Bestselling Author and Theologian Explores
the Life and Ministry of Elijah
Known for his in-depth yet accessible teaching, beloved author R.
T. Kendall delves into the life of one of the most famous and most
relatable persons in the Old Testament: Elijah.
Drawn from a popular sermon series Dr. Kendall preached at
Westminster Chapel in London, this discussion taken from 1 and 2
Kings traces the prophet's life and ministry from his first
appearance and his confrontation with King Ahab until the time he
is taken up to heaven. Kendall shows how even this revered
prophet--an ordinary man with many imperfections--was used
tremendously by God. A great study for both individuals and groups.
The ubiquitous class 66 loco first emerged on to the UK freight
scene in 1998, with many getting their first close-up look at these
engines at the Open Day at Toton in August that year. 2023 sees the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the class in operation in the UK. Since
pioneer 66001 went on display at the, then, EWS-owned depot back in
1998, over 400 of these machines have seen service in the UK
through all the major railfreight operators. This book looks at the
rapid cascade of these locomotives across the UK in that
twenty-five year period. The class 66’s area of operation extends
from the China Clay traffic in the south-west of England through to
services to both Fort William and Inverness in the Scottish
Highlands. It is also a celebration of the variety of traffic on
offer to the observer of our railways today.

Nuneaton, the largest town in Warwickshire, sits on an important
railway crossroads in the Midlands. At its Trent Valley station,
the busy West Coast Main Line heads broadly north to south with the
important link between Birmingham and Leicester crossing east to
west. An equally important line heads south-east from the town,
through Coventry and Leamington Spa, carrying local passengers as
well as an important freight link with the docks at Southampton.
This line to Coventry and beyond has had a chequered past and was
one of many victims of the Beeching Axe before, fortunately,
reopening to passengers in the late 1980s. The author has spent
many thousands of hours watching and photographing rail movements
through Nuneaton station. This publication takes a look at the
considerable variety of both passenger and freight traffic on offer
to the enthusiast, ranging from the everyday to the unexpected.
"An original adventure featuring Jedi Kerra Holt--star of the hot
new Dark Horse "Knight Errant" comic series"
A thousand years before Luke Skywalker, a generation before Darth
Bane, in a galaxy far, far away . . .
The Republic is in crisis. The Sith roam unchecked, vying with one
another to dominate the galaxy. But one lone Jedi, Kerra Holt, is
determined to take down the Dark Lords. Her enemies are strange and
many: Lord Daiman, who imagines himself the creator of the
universe; Lord Odion, who intends to be its destroyer; the curious
siblings Quillan and Dromika; the enigmatic Arkadia. So many
warring Sith weaving a patchwork of brutality--with only Kerra Holt
to defend the innocents caught underfoot.
Sensing a sinister pattern in the chaos, Kerra embarks on a journey
that will take her into fierce battles against even fiercer
enemies. With one against so many, her only chance of success lies
with forging alliances among those who serve her enemies--including
a mysterious Sith spy and a clever mercenary general. But will they
be her adversaries or her salvation?
Includes a special, full-color excerpt from the Dark Horse comic
