Andrew Hamilton grew up in a family where his father was a known
womanizer. He watched his father disrespect his mother on a
consistent basis in the presence of friends and family. Jesse
Hamilton, Andrew's father, was not much of a role model to Andrew
or his siblings. He never spent a lot of time with them or provided
for them. But he had plenty of time to spend with other women and
hang out with his drinking buddies. His family was second class
citizens and was not top priority to him. Doreen Hamilton, Andrew's
mother, was a church-going Christian who tried to keep her family
together. The harder she tried the more Jesse put her down. She
could not do anything right. Doreen's family and friends tried to
get her to leave him, but she was determined to stick with her
marriage for better or for worse. Andrew took up football to pass
the time away while in school and became one of the best running
backs to come out of high school. He was an all-state football
star. He was exceptionally good, and major universities were
interested in signing him to a full athletic football scholarship.
His father was always busy doing other things, so he never came to
any of his games. Jesse thought it was a waste of time and boring.
Andrew vowed that he would never be like his father. He did not
want to be the type of man who was a womanizing dog that did not
care about anybody but himself. He promised that he would never
disrespect or mistreat women. But he became a product of the
environment that his father introduced him to. Andrew inherited his
father's womanizing player ways and became what he hated most about
him-hence "A Player's Inheritance."
The conventional received opinion of Adam Smith as an isolated
figure, the founder of 'modern' economics, is thoroughly mistaken
and misleading. This is the central premise of this book, first
published in 1988, in which the author argues that by placing
Smith's work in its historical context, we discover profound
continuities between Smith's work and that of his predecessors, and
his contemporaries. The effect is to re-orientate our perception of
Smith and his achievement. No longer the single-handed champion of
free markets and competition whose work revolutionised and
completely redirected economics. He appears instead as a brilliant
contributor to a deep-rooted contemporary debate, someone who can
be placed in a line of thinkers that stretches between Machiavelli
and Kant.

What is involved in "making art"? In what ways have Americans
introduced art making to students? In Art Making and Education, a
practicing artist and a historian of art education discuss from
their particular perspectives the production of studio and
classroom art. Among those to whom this book will appeal are
prospective teachers, school administrators, university-level art
educators, and readers interested in the theory of discipline-based
art education. "The sources are excellent. The bibliographical
material is a must for any candidate wanting to teach the visual
arts and certainly for any student hoping to become an artist." --
William Klenk, University of Rhode Island

The daughter of an American businessman gets involved with the
wrong crowd in this 1960s drama from director Guy Hamilton. Melina
(Louise Sorel) falls into the orbit of a group of wild living
Chelsea beatniks led by Moise (Oliver Reed) while on a trip to
Europe. But when Moise starts showing an interest in Melina, she
soon falls foul of his girlfriend Libby (Ann Lynn). With the rest
of 'The Pack' now starting to take sides, egged on by Libby's
jealousy, it's not too long before events take an altogether darker
twist.
