Leonard's Priory, which has been given deeds to some land. However,
they need to claim the land through the Royal Court at Lincoln

chased through Lincoln. Time is running out to prove his innocence,
find justice and claim the land!
Between 1922 and 1996, over 10,000 girls and women were imprisoned
in Magdalene Laundries, including those considered 'promiscuous', a
burden to their families or the state, those who had been sexually
abused or raised in the care of the Church and State, and unmarried
mothers. These girls and women were subjected to forced labour as
well as psychological and physical maltreatment. Using the Irish
State's own report into the Magdalene institutions, as well as
testimonies from survivors and independent witnesses, this book
gives a detailed account of life behind the high walls of Ireland's
Magdalene institutions. The book offers an overview of the social,
cultural and political contexts of institutional survivor activism,
the Irish State's response culminating in the McAleese Report, and
the formation of the Justice for Magdalenes campaign, a
volunteer-run survivor advocacy group. Ireland and the Magdalene
Laundries documents the ongoing work carried out by the Justice for
Magdalenes group in advancing public knowledge and research into
Magdalene Laundries, and how the Irish State continues to evade its
responsibilities not just to survivors of the Magdalenes but also
in providing a truthful account of what happened. Drawing from a
variety of primary sources, this book reveals the fundamental flaws
in the state's investigation and how the treatment of the burials,
exhumation and cremation of former Magdalene women remains a deeply
troubling issue today, emblematic of the system of torture and
studious official neglect in which the Magdalene women lived their
lives. The Authors are donating all royalties in the name of the
women who were held in the Magdalenes to EPIC (Empowering People in
Care).

Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast in August 2005 with
devastating consequences. Almost all analyses of the disaster have
been dedicated to the way the hurricane affected New Orleans. This
volume examines the impact of Katrina on southern Mississippi.
While communities along Mississippi's Gulf Coast shared the impact,
their socioeconomic and demographic compositions varied widely,
leading to different types and rates of recovery. This volume
furthers our understanding of the pace of recovery and its
geographic extent, and explores the role of inequalities in the
recovery process and those antecedent conditions that could give
rise to a 'recovery divide'. It will be especially appealing to
researchers and advanced students of natural disasters and policy
makers dealing with disaster consequences and recovery.
Since the first edition of Assignment: Pentagon was published in
1988, great changes have occurred in the international environment,
the application of U.S. national security strategy, and the manner
in which the Pentagon functions. Now in its fifth edition,
Assignment: Pentagon remains the best book for anyone who works for
the Pentagon, or for any big bureaucracy for that matter. Eminently
readable, Assignment: Pentagon is the essential guide for the newly
assigned military person, fresh civilian, or interested outsider to
the Pentagon's informal set of arrangements, networks, and
functions that operate in the service and joint service world. From
the type of wristwatch one needs to how to succeed on the Joint
Staff, the book delivers a wealth of practical advice and helpful
hints about surviving the pressures and problems of working in "the
Building." If you've been assigned to the Pentagon or are starting
work for any large company, you need Assignment: Pentagon.
