Passion, Prose and Poetry is an eclectic mix of short stories and poems representing a collection of people, places and events the author has experienced in many respects, which are artfully woven into creative fact and fiction as to time and place, each of which are intertwined to flesh out the stories and poems. Some are dramatic, some comic, some whimsical, and some a mix of each genre in order to give emotional expressions patterned on real life and real time in the lives of many people whose personae they were modeled on. People the author needed and who needed him in return.

A creative non-fiction fable of the Creation, of the rebellion in heaven and of the divine plan of redemption. When the head of the worship team and the King's best friend, learns of the king's new secret project, he is overcome with pride and arrogance. The king is heartbroken at this inevitable betrayal, but at the same time he's excited about his latest and creation: Man, and a Garden for him to inhabit. In this wildly imaginative story, readers will be right there as the king walks in the Garden with this new creation, teaches him and gifts him with a wife; as the king explains his eternal plan of forgiveness to his wife and son; and as the king sadly but firmly puts down the rebellion in his throne room, forever revoking their kingdom citizenship. Filled with rage and malice, the rebellion seek to deceive and destroy as much of King Raaph's creation as possible. Stephen A. Haire was born in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. Although growing up in church, he did not return until 2003 for his children's sake. God embraced his heart and changed him. He felt that God wanted to use him in ministry and attended Randy Clarks Ministry school. During the two years he lived in Mechanicsburg, PA he received many words and prayers about writing. He and his wife fell in love with the capital area and now reside in New Cumberland, PA with their four children.

This book extends the approach that Murray and Schuler develop in their companion volume, False Moves in Philosophy and Social Theory: Losing Public Purpose. The chapters form a connected inquiry into consequences of capital, a far-reaching social form, through a critique of political economy and the mindset it shares with much modern philosophy and social theory. The authors call this bifurcating mentality factoring philosophy. Factoring philosophy mistakes the distinguishable for the separable. It splits the subjective and objective, form and content, and it takes the object of social theory to be an impossible economy-in-general, stripped of constitutive social forms. The critique of factoring philosophy structures the collection, which makes a wide-ranging contribution to the research field of the critique of political economy as critical social theory. Ultimately, this book solidifies Murray and Schuler’s impact on the study of political economy, political philosophy, modern philosophy, Hegel, Marx, and critical theory. 

Taking as its focus an age of transformational development in cartographic history, namely the two centuries between Columbus's arrival in the New World and the emergence of the Scientific Revolution, this study examines how maps were employed as physical and symbolic objects by thinkers, writers and artists. It surveys how early modern people used the map as an object, whether for enjoyment or political campaigning, colonial invasion or teaching in the classroom. Exploring a wide range of literature, from educational manifestoes to the plays of Marlowe and Shakespeare, it suggests that the early modern map was as diverse and various as the rich culture from which it emerged, and was imbued with a whole range of political, social, literary and personal impulses. Intellectual and Imaginative Cartographies in Early Modern England, 1550-1700 will appeal to all those interested in the History of Cartography

This book considers diverse philosophical topics unified by the identification of false moves commonly found in modern philosophy, mainstream Anglo-American philosophy, and social theory. The authors expose the sources of fundamental problems that recur in philosophy—basic problems with what the authors call "factoring philosophy." Factoring philosophy fails to attend to the phenomenological task of determining when what is distinguishable is separable and when not. Consequently, factoring philosophy makes phenomenological mistakes—false moves—when it treats as separable what is only distinguishable. Analytic philosophy is prone to false moves when it fails to recognize that phenomenology is the necessary complement to analysis. There is nothing wrong with analysis—we might as well give up thinking as give up analysis—and nothing is wrong with the values prized by analytic philosophy. As Hegel observed, “philosophizing requires, above all, that each thought should be grasped in its full precision and that nothing should remain vague and indeterminate.� Ultimately, this book contends that false moves prevail in philosophical analysis and social theory when they neglect their phenomenological foundations. 

The first episode in the final 'Only Fools and Horses' trilogy, originally broadcast over Christmas 1996. Del is stuck with 125 Latvian radios and a job lot of baseball caps, while Cassandra has placed Rodney on a new sex programme to hasten the arrival of their first child.

Murray's essays concentrate on Marx the historical materialist, the investigator of historically specific social forms of wealth and labour. In probing Marx's dialectical accounts of the commodity, value, money, surplus value, wage labour and capital, The Mismeasure of Wealth establishes Marx's singular relevance for critical social theory today.

The complete trilogy of the last ever 'Only Fools and Horses' episodes, originally broadcast over Christmas 1996. 'Heroes and Villains' Del is stuck with 125 Latvian radios and a job lot of baseball caps, while Cassandra has placed Rodney on a new sex programme to hasten the arrival of their first child. In 'Modern Men' Cassandra is pregnant, Rodney applies for a new job. Del, meanwhile is attempting to convert himself into a 'new man' - he's reading a book and everything. Whilst in 'Time on Our Hands' Racquel's parents are coming to dinner, and it seems that a purchase made by Rodney when he first joined TITCO might be about to make the Trotter brothers millionaires after all.

Oracles of God helps explain what divided a church, a society, and a new state in Ireland. This superbly researched book gives a detailed account of the political outlook and activities of the Roman Catholic Church, nationally and in the localities, during the fifteen years after the Treaty, both during and after the Civil War. Patrick Murray examines and assesses the clerical response to the Treaty, the involvement of bishops and priests in pro-Treaty and anti-Treaty politics, the fundamentalist Republicans of the left and right, and the Northern state. The author draws on a wide range of, hitherto, unexplored archival material, and on the expertise of local historians and scholars. No other account deals in such depth and detail with the political involvement of the Roman Catholic clergy, of every rank in Irish politics, North and South, between 1922 and 1937.

Two more escapades for Peckham's favourite sons, Del and Rodney. 'Rodney Come Home', the 1990 Christmas episode, finds Rodney moving back in with Del after splitting up with Cassandra. Del's attempts to woo Raquel go awry when he learns that his younger brother is about to go on a date with the young lady from the exhaust centre. In 'The Sky's the Limit', Raquel has 'officially' moved into Del's room, but his acquisition of a knocked off satellite dish scuppers Rodney's plan to meet Cassandra when her plane arrives at Gatwick...

Featuring three specials made for Christmas including: 'If They Could See Us Now', 'Strangers On The Shore', and 'Sleepless In Peckham', which finds the Trotters in desperate need of some cash as they face eviction. Meanwhile, an old photograph is uncovered of Freddy the Frog, the Raffles of Peckham, who shares an uncanny likeness with Rodney.

The only constant in fishing is that the fish are still trying to avoid being caught as hard today as they were 100 or 1,000 years ago. To improve as anglers, we must be willing to change and evolve." It's More Than Fishing is a how-to guide for Texas coastal fishing that addresses a number of key aspects of coastal angling, including the basics of patterning, fishing the Texas surf, choosing lures and baits, and what to keep in mind when hiring a fishing guide. In addition to these how-to elements, It's More Than Fishing also includes insight and information from marine biologist anglers about coastal and marine conservation. Author Patrick D. Murray has spent more than two decades as a marine conservation professional, and he emphasizes the critical role of recreational anglers in protecting marine resources. Each chapter begins with a handy summary to guide readers through the information, making it easy to jump around. Throughout the book, Murray reminds the reader that angling is part science, but it's also part art. Similar to yoga, culinary pursuits, and martial arts, angling is an evolving skill that has been in practice for centuries. Successful fishing requires a mixture of knowledge, practice, patience, and skill. Murray believes that if anglers view their pursuit as an art, they will only invest in developing their skills, but their passion for fishing and ocean resources will increase along with their catches.

The Centenary Classics series examines the fascinating time of change and evolution in the Ireland of 100 years ago during the 1916-23 revolutionary period. Each volume is introduced by Fearghal McGarry who sets the scene of this important period in Ireland's history. Free State or Republic? provides eye-witness accounts by two reporters from the Irish Independent newspaper of the historic Treaty debates of Dail Eireann, held in University College Dublin's Earlsfort Terrace building in December 1921 and January 1922. Eamon de Valera, Michael Collins, Arthur Griffith and a host of other participants come to life. The colourful descriptions of the scene and of the reactions to speeches, written while the debates were in progress, are far more revealing than the published record of the debates. This book was originally published in 1922 and the introduction by Patrick Murray constructs a modern analysis of these lively debates.

First published in 1904 and twice reprinted, this book strongly influenced nationalist debate between 1904 and 1921. Its central proposal - the withdrawal of Irish elected representatives from Westminster - was inherited from the Hungarian Franz Deak's policy of non co-operation with the imperial parliament in Vienna in the 1860s. The idea of the dual monarchy, adopted by Austria and Hungary in 1867 in which each recognised the Austrian Emperor but had separate parliaments, continued to be advocated by a few Irish politicians as late as the 1920s. Griffith also expounds here his protectionist economic views which influenced Irish government policy for several decades.
