In 2009, U.S. Marine Sergeant Ron Keller is advising an Iraqi
Police unit in Fallujah, when he discovers an ancient Hebrew
scroll. Knowing the Iraqis will not be overjoyed at any discovery
that reminds them of the presence of Jews in Iraq for thousands of
years, he removes the scroll without anyone's knowledge. Determined
to discover the authenticity and meaning of the scroll, Keller
covertly summons help from a navy rabbi and an Iraqi-born
professor, unaware that more than 2,500 years ago, two scribes set
out to rescue sacred scrolls from a burning temple amid the
uncertainty of the Babylonian conquest. After the brothers divide
the scrolls and leave on separate journeys to hide them, each
experiences triumph and tragedy while attempting to ensure the
survival of the parchments until the fortunes of Judah are
restored. In this thriller, the modern discovery of an ancient text
reveals both long-held secrets and the identity of the author of
the original Five Books of Moses.
This book examines an emerging organizational form called the
multi-team system (MTS). This type of aggregation is being
increasingly adopted by organizations and agencies that need to
respond to complex strategic problems. There has been increasing
interest in MTSs over the last decade to the point where there is
now a need to (a) describe these organizational forms more fully,
(b) build conceptual frames that can guide research, and (c) begin
developing tools to improve the study of MTSs. The purpose of this
book is to respond to these needs. The book contains a series of
chapters that expand prior conceptual frames of MTSs, defining in
more detail the compositional and linkage attributes that
characterize such units. The book also explores how such systems
emerge and develop, as well as the methods for studying MTSs. The
intent of the book is to establish and nurture a strong conceptual
and methodological foundation that can guide research and practice
with MTSs. Because the notion of MTSs cuts across multiple domains,
this book will interest scholars in industrial/organizational
psychology, organizational science, management and organizational
theory, human factors, sociology, organization communications, and
public administration.

A look inside the hospitals, asylums, and sanatoriums in which
formal spectral residents refuse to move on. Hospitals are supposed
to be places of healing, places of birth, and places of hope. But
with all of the varying highs and lows that are experienced in
these buildings, is it any wonder when echoes linger indefinitely?
How about asylums, which house some of society’s worst offenders
and troubled inmates, or sanatoriums, places where the mentally and
physically ill find themselves trapped, even after death? Journey
inside the history of these macabre settings and learn about the
horrors from the past that live on in these frighteningly eerie
tales from Canada, the United States, and around the world.

2013 Hamilton Arts Council Literary Award — Shortlisted,
Nonfiction Hamilton, Ontario, may seem just like any other city,
but a haunted past is hidden beneath it. From the Hermitage ruins
to Dundurn Castle, from the Customs House to Stoney Creek
Battlefield Park, the city of Hamilton, Ontario, is steeped in a
rich history and culture. But beneath the surface of the Steel City
there dwells a darker heart — from the shadows of yesteryear
arise the unexplainable, the bizarre, and the chilling. Lock the
doors and turn on all the lights before you settle down with this
book, because once you begin to read about the supernatural
elements that lurk within this seemingly normal city in Southern
Ontario, strange bumps in the night will take on new, more sinister
meanings. Prepare to be thrilled and chilled with this collection
of tales compiled from historical documents, first-person accounts,
and the files of the paranormal group Haunted Hamilton, which has
been investigating and celebrating Hamilton’s historic haunted
past since 1999.
