User-Friendly Beginner's Guide to World Religions
The world is becoming more integrated. What once seemed like the
religions of exotic faraway lands are now practiced by families
next door. These short, easily digestible readings give an overview
of the beliefs, histories, and practices of dozens of religions,
including Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, and many more.
Garry Morgan blends the knowledge of a college professor with
real-world experience and an accessible style. Broken into forty
brief chapters, this book can be used as a reference for those who
need quick and clear answers or read straight through by curious
readers.
Sam Cooper was a rugged southern gentleman from Tupelo,
Mississippi. After Sam's father died suddenly, Sam and his wife
Necee, inherited, the struggling hand-me-down farm. To keep the
family farm from bankruptcy, along with his personal finances, Sam
went to the North Slope and began working in a remote Inupiat
village, as an engineer. Ten years later, he found himself still
working in the Eskimo villages and away from a wife, who had begun
to feel the sting of loneliness too deep, and was becoming
resentful. After a year of working on the Slope and living in the
construction camps, Sam developed a double life and personality.
Every year Sam promised Necee he would come home and leave the
Alaska life behind, never making good on his promises, until it was
a little too late. After an encounter with a beautiful Athabascan
native girl named Layla, Sams life changed forever.
Sam came to Alaska by invitation from his friend, Matt Healey.
Matt was a young looking, sixty-year old Project Manager from
Miami, Florida, who was married to Amy, a woman he never wanted to
marry and had resented all their married life. After thirty-nine
years of marriage, Matt's secret life on the Slope began to
unravel, with plenty of help from the psychotic office manager,
Delaney Delingfield, and the only woman Matt ever loved, McKenna
Hayes.
Delaney Delingfield was trouble with a capital T. Delaney slept
with the upper crust of Gold Coast Oil and Gas, and used sexual
blackmail to keep her job on the North Slope, where she made plenty
of money to keep up her mischievous lifestyle, and evil games.
Delaney had no self-esteem, no morals, and no conscience. She made
the life of the people she worked with hell. During her first night
at Camp Kinsey, in Kaktovik, Delaney met an attractive, racist
Eskimo, by the name of Grey Antooguk. Together, their plans and
schemes revealed many of the secrets the employees had in the
village and in their personal lives.
Grey Antooguk was a black, evil cloud over the village of
Kaktovik. When Reed Shaw arrived with her husband Colton, the
assistant Project Manager from Texas, Grey lost his heart and his
mind. Reed was the only white person that Grey Antooguk ever wanted
to befriend, and demanded to have. With Delaney's help and spying
eyes, together they cooked up a plan for the Eskimo outlaw to have
the white woman with hair the color of the sunset.
Colton Shaw was the only man on the job that remotely appeared to
have any moral character. He brought his wife on all the jobs and
was allowed this favor because of his work expertise. Colton made
plans for the Kaktovik job to be his last, so he and his wife could
have a normal life back in Texas. One night in the village changed
these plans forever.
Brice Garrett, with his good looks and great smile, played the
North Slope adultery field with Amelia Brighton, the new cook at
Camp Kinsey, and Lauren Beckett, the Italian payroll clerk. After
Brice's unfaithful wife Natalie, who lived in Seattle, found out
that her husband was a little more than "just involved" with
Amelia, Delaney and a jealous Lauren crushed the two with a
malicious hand.
Amelia Brighton was a beautiful, petite blonde, who was hired as
the new cook at Camp Kinsey. Amelia, with her good looks, belonged
anywhere but the "construction adult playground." After a horrific
sexual injustice was done to Amelia, Brice became her best friend
and lover in camp. It looked like he was going to become her
husband until Delaney Delingfield got involved, and changed three
peoples lives for the worst.
Mark Jones, known as "Nevada" by his Slope friends and his
Saturday night poker buddies, had his fair share of mishaps on the
job and in his personal life. Gambling away thousands of dollars in
weekly poker games, and cruising pornography websites on the
company dollar, Nevada finally came to terms with his addictions in
a way no one ever wishes, eve
First published in 1994. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &

In the last decade, Greek fiction has gained increasing attention
as a result of new theoretical approaches to the subject--gender
studies, narrative theory and the social analysis of ancient
literature among them. This volume aims to broaden the terms of the
study of Greek fiction while providing the beginner with a synoptic
treatment of the most important works.
Greeks began writing prose fiction in the 4th century BC and the
tradition continued for a millennium and a half. Fictional modes
were used not only for entertaining romances but as a framework for
Christian and Jewish religious literature and for quasi-historical
works or "historical novels."
The contributors to this volume, rather than focusing on the usual
roster of Greek fiction writers--Xenophon of Ephesus, Heliodorus,
Longus, Chariton and Achilles Tatius among them--instead widen the
terms of this debate and set new parameters for the study of Greek
fiction, enabling the reader to view the spectrum of Greek
fictional writing.
During the past few decades we have witnessed an era of remarkable
growth in the field of molecular biology. In 1950 very little was
known of the chemical constitution of biological systems, the
manner in which information was transmitted from one organism to
another, or the extent to which the chemical basis of life is
unified. The picture today is dramatically different. We have an
almost bewildering variety of information detailing many different
aspects oflife at the molecular level. These great advances have
brought with them some breath-taking insights into the molecular
mechanisms used by nature for replicating, distributing and
modifying biological information. We have learned a great deal
about the chemical and physical nature of the macro molecular
nucleic acids and proteins, and the manner in which carbohydrates,
lipids and smaller molecules work together to provide the molecular
setting of living systems. It might be said that these few decades
have replaced a near vacuum of informa tion with a very large
surplus. It is in the context of this flood of information that
this series of monographs on molecular biology has been organized.
The idea is to bring together in one place, between the covers of
one book, a concise assessment of the state of the subject in a
well-defined field. This will enable the reader to get a sense of
historical perspective what is known about the field today - and a
description of the frontiers of research where our knowledge is
increasing steadily."
Proposed changes in practice legislation will allow podiatrists to
prescribe a limited range of drugs and dressings. It is therefore
now imperative that students and practitioners understand
pharmacology. Not only the mechanisms of action of drugs, but also
their potential side-effects and interactions with other drugs
taken by the patient.
This book will cover both basic and clinical pharmacology. The
podiatrist's role in examination, assessment and diagnosis are
considered.
Legacy of the Lash is a compelling social and cultural history
of the Brazilian navy in the decades preceding and immediately
following the 1888 abolition of slavery in Brazil. Focusing on
non-elite, mostly black enlisted men and the oppressive labor
regimes under which they struggled, the book is an examination of
the four-day Revolta da Chibata (Revolt of the Lash) of November
1910, during which nearly half of Rio de Janeiro s enlisted men
rebelled against the use of corporal punishment in the navy. These
men seized four new, powerful warships, turned their guns on Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil s capital city, and held its population hostage
until the government abolished the use of the lash as a means of
military discipline. Although the revolt succeeded, the men
involved paid dearly for their actions. This event provides a clear
lens through which to examine racial identity, violence,
masculinity, citizenship, modernity, and the construction of the
Brazilian nation."
