Oxford police detective Arthur Wallace is no hero. He's a good cop,
but prefers for action and heroics remain on the screen, safely
performed by professionals. But then, secretive government agency
MI37 comes calling, hoping to recruit Arthur in their struggle
against horrors from another dimension known as the Progeny. Can an
everyman stand against sanity-ripping cosmic horrors?
A guide to the most important church and chapel buildings in Wales,
from the early middle ages onwards. It includes an introduction
that provides a clear overview, based on research, of the religious
history of Wales and the way that history can be seen in the
surviving church buildings throughout the region.
Another day. Another zombie T-Rex to put down. All part of the
routine for Arthur Wallace and MI37-the government department
devoted to battling threats magical, supernatural,
extra-terrestrial, and generally odd. Except a zombie T-Rex is only
the first of his problems...Before Arthur can say, "But didn't I
save the world yesterday?" a new co-director at MI37 is threatening
his job, middle-aged Russian cyborg wizards are threatening his
life, and his co-workers are threatening his sanity.
Prophecy, Fate and Memory in the Early and Medieval Celtic World
brings together a collection of studies that closely explore
aspects of culture and history of Celtic-speaking nations.
Non-narrative sources and cross-disciplinary approaches shed new
light on traditional questions concerning commemoration, sources of
political authority, and the nature of religious identity. Leading
scholars and early-career researchers bring to bear hermeneutics
from studies of religion and literary criticism alongside more
traditional philological and historical methodologies. All the
studies in this book bring to their particular tasks an
acknowledgement of the importance of religion in the worldview of
antiquity and the Middle Ages. Their approaches reflect a critical
turn in Celtic studies that has proved immensely productive across
the last two decades.
Austin, Hillman, Morris, Standard and Wolseley were a handful of
the myriad marques that once constituted Britain's indigenous motor
industry. Born in 1896 into the high summer of Victorian
prosperity, the native British industry survived until the collapse
of The Rover Group in 2005. Jonathan Wood chronicles this
industry's 109-year life, from its production of hand-made bespoke
automobiles for the fortunate few to the arrival of mass production
to provide cars for the many. He looks at the factories and the
people who worked in them, and examines the role played by the
component manufacturers that serviced the industry. Wood also
offers explanations as to why motor manufacturing followed the
British motorcycle, bicycle and cotton industries into oblivion.
Arthur Wallace and the MI37 team confront their complex personal
relationships as well as robots originally created to aid the
Nazi's invasion of Russia, leading to a trip for the team to the
Himalayas, which takes them to a Nepalese death cult, then back to
London for the final assault - amidst assorted relationship
break-ups, hangovers and pregnancy scares.
This is a biography about the British motor industry's most
influential and controversial engineer, Sir Alec Issignois. Wood
exposes a behind-the-scenes impression of the personal and
corporate struggles within the declining British car industry, a
complex process in which Issigonis played a famous role. THE
COLLAPSE in 2005 of MG Rover marked the end of Britain's indigenous
motor industry as a volume car manufacturer. Yet back in the 1960s
its Longbridge-based British Motor Corporation predecessor
dominated the market with the iconic Mini and stylish 1100. Both
were the work, together with the legendary Morris Minor, of Sir
Alec Issigonis, CBE, FRS, the British motor industry's most
influential and controversial engineer. In this full-length
biography, published to commemorate the centenary of its subject's
birth, which falls in 2006, award-winning motoring historian
Jonathan Wood chronicles the rise and fall of Issigonis, born in
Turkey of Greek/Bavarian parentage, who arrived in Britain as a
near-penniless refugee and became the most powerful automobile
engineer in the land. His ingenious and effective designs had a
deep, lasting influence on the evolution of the motor car and on
the wider history of industrial design, and he deserves to be
ranked with the other giants of the field like Ferdinand Porsche in
Germany and Dante Giacosa in Italy. Wood's candid and meticulously
researched account, which exposes Sir Alec's public and private
faces, and is the product of some 30 years of research, is
complemented by interviews conducted with many of Issigonis' former
colleagues and friends, including: Ronald Barker, John Cooper, Jack
Daniels, Christopher Dowson, Paddy Hopkirk, Spen King, Dr Alex
Moulton, Dr Bernd Pischetsrieder, Lord Snowdon and Stuart Turner.
The finished volume is a balanced view of a remarkable, immensely
talented man, with a behind-the-scenes impression of the personal
and corporate struggles within the declining British car industry,
a complex process in which Issigonis played a famous role.

When it rains it pours - monster machines. That attack during a
funeral and ruin everyone's day. MI317 - the government department
devoted to defending Britain from cosmic horrors - is under siege,
so Arthur Wallace and his team must travel to Area 51, ably - and
oddly - assisted by Agent Gran. But their travels don't end there,
not when there's an Arctic town populated entirely by spore zombies
and the 2.0 version of Clyde has some funny ideas about how to save
the world.

The MGB was Britain's most successful ever sports car, with sales
of over half a million. And the truth is, that more than three
decades after production ceased, the MGB's classic lines,
affordability, fun factor and certain `rightness' mean that its
enthusiastic following remains undiminished. In `MGB: The
Illustrated History' the authors, self-confessed `B' enthusiasts
both, recall the remarkable history of this remarkable car.
Originated with full co-operation and contributions from key
members of the original design team, including John Thornley, Syd
Enever, Don Hayter and Roy Brocklehurst, this book takes the reader
behind the scenes at the world-famous MG factory at Abingdon, which
closed its doors in 1980 with the demise of the MGB after 18 years
in production. The background to the MGB roadster's development is
first recalled in the context of its immediate predecessor, the
MGA, the various famous EX experimental models, and the heritage of
MG as a whole. Separate chapters then follow the development,
introduction and production of the GT, MGC and V8. Further chapters
on the MGB's competition successes and the RV8 complete the story.
Along with a feast of colour photographs and contemporary brochure
material - enough to satisfy even the most ardent MGB lover - the
book also features full-colour cutaway illustrations of the three
main `B' variants. Copiously illustrated with contemporary colour
photographs and brochure material, and featuring colour cutaway
illustrations of the MGB roadster, MGC, MGB GT V8 and MG RV8, this
book not only charts the production life of Britain's best-loved
sports car, but also takes the reader behind the scenes at the
world-famous Abingdon factory. This long-awaited 4th edition now
includes brand new illustrations of model variants and an original
road test report.
Over the last few decades, within the Christian Church and in
broader society, there has been an explosion of interestin the
benefits and fruits of monastic spirituality and culture, both in
its historical and contemporary contexts. Even where people have

integrity and magnetic appeal. This timely book explores what it is
that makes monastic spirituality so attractive to so many people
and how it can be incorporated into an individual's everyday life
in practical ways. Chapters include: The appeal of monasticism;
Different varieties of monastic experience; Monastic spirituality
and personal development; Monastic spirituality and relationships;
Monastic spirituality and work; Monastic spirituality and community
living; Achieving balance; and Working out a rule of life.
