Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

There has been a strange event in the world. Millions of people
have disappeared. There have been wrecks on the highway, people
disappearing right out thin air, and parents waking up missing
their children. Where'd Everybody Go? This book is about an event
Christians call the Rapture, and the coming wrath God will pour out
on humanity after it. It will also give the reader, regardless if
read before or after the Rapture, plans to build on to prepare for
life before and during the Great Tribulation, when a man called the
antichrist will rise to power and rule the earth.This book is for
Christians, agnostics, atheists, or anyone else who has ever
wondered about the end of the world as we know it. With continued
uprisings and political uncertainty in the Middle East, do not let
another day go by without getting prepared. The time is drawing
near.David R. Wells is neither a preacher nor an educated
theologian. He is a committed Christian who seeks only the plain
truth in Scripture and nothing else. He and his much-better half,
Marlo, live in rural America, continually seeking God's will for
their lives and the lives of their four children.
The Bush administration was remarkably successful in dominating
the debate over why we had to go to war with Iraq, but it would
soon be faced with the more daunting task of winning the monumental
rhetorical struggle over how to write the script of the Iraq War
endgame. We examine the twists and turns of the discursive battle
over the war's denouement as it played out against the backdrop of
the war on terror, and we conclude that while Bush failed to win
the argument that Iraq was one with our fight against terrorism,
his underlying worldview that we must confront terrorist evil
through global military engagement remains an important component
of Obama adminstration rhetoric.
First published in 1998, this volume explores the connections
between the rises in consumerism and the number of married women in
paid work in light of the centrality of shopping and consumerism to
the modern world. David R. Wells argues for women's incomplete
gains from consumerism through an analysis of married women's
employment, the structure of capitalism and the contradictory
requirements of consumerism, the homemaker ideal and gender
identity. Through this, Wells demonstrates how the gendered
expectations of consumerism became motivating factors for women to
join the workforce, resulting in higher standards of living and
greater marital power.

“Few people are as uniquely well equipped as Anthony Wells to
write an account of these close and special relationships. His
penetrating and informed analysis offers us all hope for the
continuance of an alliance which makes the world a safer place." -
VICE ADMIRAL SIR JEREMY BLACKHAM, Knight Commander of the Bath,
editor, The Naval Review UK-US intelligence and the wider Five Eyes
community of Canada, Australia and New Zealand is primarily about
one main thing, relationships. In this remarkable book, Anthony
Wells charts fifty years of change, turmoil, intense challenges,
successes and failures, and never-ending abiding UK-US and Five
Eyes relationships. He traces the development of institutions that
he firmly believes have sustained and indeed may have saved the
free world, Western democracies and their allies from those ill
disposed to the value system and culture of our nations. More than
a chronology of the UK-US intelligence community during this
fifty-year period, it is also a personal insight into key
relationships and how the abiding strengthof the United States and
the United Kingdom and its Five Eyes allies relationships. The
author has relied on his own extensive unclassified collection of
papers, personal notes, diaries, as well as his family library for
source material to create this book.
