This is a humorous, wry, critical and, sometimes, nostalgic look at people and events in South Africa over the past half century by one of the country's longest-serving newspaper editors.
In these memoirs Michael Green writes about the famous and infamous, the admirable and not so admirable characters he encountered during his long career: politicians, musicians, sportsmen, actors, lawyers and, of course, journalists in a variety of situations. Rich in anecdote and information, Around And About is a valuable contribution to the story of South Africa in the twentieth century and an entertaining and enjoyable read.
Michael Green was editor of the DAILY NEWS, Durban, for 15 years and editor-in-chief of the SUNDAY TRIBUNE for three years.
The inspiration for A Haunting in Venice – now a major motion
picture. When a Hallowe’en party turns deadly, it falls to
Hercule Poirot to unmask a murderer… During a night of party
games, Joyce Reynolds boasts that she once witnessed a murder. No
one believes her, but then she is found drowned, face down in an
apple-bobbing tub. Set against a night of trickery and the occult,
Hercule Poirot and Ariadne Oliver must race to uncover the real
evil responsible for this ghastly murder. Hallowe’en Party is the
sensational Agatha Christie novel that inspired the brand new
feature film directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh. This special
edition is introduced by its screenwriter, Michael Green.
We've all heard the rationale: "It doesn't matter what you believe
as long as you're sincere." Or "All religions are pretty much the
same." But are they the same? Does it matter which one you follow?
In this insightful and compelling book, Michael Green invites
readers into a relationship with Jesus Christ, the divine
revelation and only pathway to the one true God.
In a conversational style geared toward nonbelievers, Green
compares Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, and other religions to help
spiritual seekers navigate the multi-faith maze. "But Don't All
Religions Lead to God?" is an ideal reference and evangelism tool
for churches and individual Christians as well. It offers
scriptural references, looks at how divergent religious traditions
view salvation and eternity, and answers difficult questions such
as "What about people who have never heard of Jesus?" and "How
should Christians regard other religions?"
In the midst of our pluralistic and tolerant culture, here is an
important and convincing argument for faith in Jesus-the only great
teacher whose death and resurrection provided grace, forgiveness,
and an eternity in the presence of God.
This extraordinary book, unique in its ambition and scope, delves
deep into the mystery of the crop circles which appear every summer
in the fertile wheat and barley fields of southern England. Follow
leading researcher Michael Green as he tells the story of the crop
circles, and uncovers and deciphers the ancient symbols and
mandalas encoded in these extraordinary patterns. Be prepared, as
the revelations precipitate further questions. Could these glyphs
be communications by a Cosmic Intelligence intent on awakening us
to the plight of life on planet Earth, and to humanity’s divine
origin and its infinite potential? Why do crop circles keep
appearing in ever larger numbers? Why do their designs keep
evolving? If they are portents of change, can we heed their message
in time?
The Gospel according to Matthew is perhaps the most important
single document of the New Testament, for in it we have the fullest
and most systematic account of the birth, life, teaching, death and
resurrection of the founder of Christianity, Jesus the Messiah.
Michael Green shows how this very Jewish Gospel portrays the power
and purpose of Jesus' life and work, which was to bring light to
all nations. Matthew records Jesus as Son of God, Messiah, Son of
David, Son of Man and supremely as God returning to Jerusalem as
judge and redeemer. The consequences of this steady focus are as
relevant now as then. We need Matthew's emphasis on the unity of
God's revelation, old and new, its reaching on the life of
discipleship and the meaning of the kingdom of heaven, and its
insights into the people of the messiah, the end of the world and
the universality of the Good News.

The officially sanctioned graphic novel prequel to the cult 1982
science fiction movie Blade Runner, directed by Ridley Scott.
Co-written by the Oscar nominated writer of Blade Runner 2049,
Logan, and Murder on the Orient Express Michael Green and New York
Times Bestselling author Mike Johnson. It is 2027 and Blade Runner
Ash continues to hunt the streets of the rain-soaked dystopian
world of Los Angeles for renegade Replicants, but this time she's
trying to protect as many as she can find...
The legacies of plantation slavery continue to inhabit, animate,
and haunt the diverse forms of unfreedom that mark our present.
Diverse Unfreedoms charts a new way of thinking through these
legacies of unfreedom via a more entangled and multidirectional
model of what makes for historical change and continuity in
practices and relationships of subjugation. This volume troubles
the stark opposition between slavery and freedom by foregrounding
the diversity of types of exploitation above and beyond the most
extreme forms of dehumanization characterized by slavery. The
chapters, from multiple disciplines and discussing diverse regions
and historical periods, illustrate the significance of
interdisciplinary and international perspectives in understanding
diverse unfreedoms, and offer a nuanced account of historical
change and continuity in systems that generate and perpetuate
unfreedom. Through examining the frictions that mark certain key
moments of legal, social, and institutional transition, the essays
in this volume express the limits of liberal humanist projects and
present a critique of the liberal notion of freedom as the
necessary horizon of emancipatory imagination and labor.
No other country has devised a grand strategy for managing China's
rising economic and military power as deliberately or successfully
as Japan. Seeking to counter Chinese ambitions toward regional
hegemony, Japan has taken an increasingly assertive role in East
Asia and the world. During the tenure of Prime Minister Abe Shinzo,
the country pursued closer security cooperation with the United
States and other democracies, established a more centralized
national defense system, and advanced rules and norms to preserve
the open regional order in the Indo-Pacific that is crucial to its
prosperity and survival-all while managing an important economic
relationship with China. In Line of Advantage, Michael J. Green
provides a groundbreaking and comprehensive account of Japan's
strategic thinking under Abe. He explains the foundational logic
and the worldview behind this approach, from key precedents in
Japanese history to the specific economic, defense, and diplomatic
priorities shaping contemporary policy toward China, the United
States, the two Koreas, and the Indo-Pacific region. Drawing on two
decades of access to Abe and other Japanese political, military,
and business leaders, Green provides an insider's perspective on
subjects such as how Japan pursued competition with China without
losing the benefits of economic cooperation. Assessing the
strengths and weaknesses of Japan's new active role, Line of
Advantage sheds new light on a period with profound implications
for the future of U.S. competition with China and international
affairs in Asia more broadly.

Return to the original world of Blade Runner 2019. From the rain
soaked dystopic world of Los Angeles 2019 to the never-before-seen
promised land of the Off-World colonies, Replicant-hating Blade
Runner Ash' search for the runaway wife and child of a rich

puts her life in danger once more.
Soon after the American Revolution, ?certain of the founders began
to recognize the strategic significance of Asia and the Pacific and
the vast material and cultural resources at stake there. Over the
coming generations, the United States continued to ask how best to
expand trade with the region and whether to partner with China, at
the center of the continent, or Japan, looking toward the Pacific.
Where should the United States draw its defensive line, and how
should it export democratic principles? In a history that spans the
eighteenth century to the present, Michael J. Green follows the
development of U.S. strategic thinking toward East Asia,
identifying recurring themes in American statecraft that reflect
the nation's political philosophy and material realities. Drawing
on archives, interviews, and his own experience in the Pentagon and
White House, Green finds one overarching concern driving U.S.
policy toward East Asia: a fear that a rival power might use the
Pacific to isolate and threaten the United States and prevent the
ocean from becoming a conduit for the westward free flow of trade,
values, and forward defense. By More Than Providence works through
these problems from the perspective of history's major strategists
and statesmen, from Thomas Jefferson to Alfred Thayer Mahan and
Henry Kissinger. It records the fate of their ideas as they
collided with the realities of the Far East and adds clarity to
America's stakes in the region, especially when compared with those
of Europe and the Middle East.

This officially sanctioned sequel comic to the original Blade
Runner film is written by Michael Green, the screenwriter of Blade
Runner 2049.
Jesus called his followers first and foremost to become disciples.
Sadly a great many of those who have made a profession of faith
fall by the wayside and never become true disciples, because they
have never been carefully nurtured. This short course by evangelist
Michael Green is designed to help people move from decision to
discipleship. Used across four continents, it is a wonderfully
effective resource that works for both small groups and
individuals. This book will guide those who have recently come to
faith and those seeking faith in how to become a disciple of Jesus.
It will point the way to fruitfulness and life!
