The age-old battle of good and evil actually revolves around the
battlefield of humankind. Each faction influences people to their
resolve. However, between these two great combatants is a third
entity: the Arrangers. Neither evil nor holy, their duty is to pick
up the pieces by giving rewards for the good and evil done by
man.
Evil retribution is given in the form of twists of fate,
commonly called karma. The person who seems to have evaded justice
becomes the victim of an uncanny accident. This is the job of the
Arrangers.
The Arrangers are in need of one last member of their group, and
they have chosen Tom Evans. Tom is in need of a simple and stable
life that he has never known. He has always been on the move.
Finally this small town is his chance at rest. But the Arrangers
have chosen this to be his chance at immortality. It is his
choice.

From The Inside is a thorough revised and expanded re-working of
Hayward's previous books, Tin Pan Alley: The Rise of Elton John and
From Tin Pan Alley to the Yellow Brick Road. From The Inside is not
just an ordinary biography. It is effectively an oral history using
interviews conducted over a fifteen-year period with just about
every musician, producer, sound engineer, manager and key figure
that worked with Reg Dwight, before and when he was Elton John,
both in Britain and America, up to 1979. It is their story, From
the Inside; how they contributed to the success of Sir Elton during
that time, and how they played an unwitting part in his rise to
fame. It is a collection of stories from the music makers,
managers, executives and musicians that makes this book possible.
They are the people who were there, observing what was going on
and, in some cases, in close proximity to Sir Elton. It really is
the story of those who still see him as an acquaintance or as a
friend. It is the first time some of them have spoken out about
their years working and sharing Sir Elton's life. Sadly, some of
those contributors have passed now but their words and
contributions live on in this book.
Activating the Art Museum: Designing Experiences for the Health
Professions, the first book on this subject, offers an argument for
collaboration between educators in art museums and healthcare
professionals. Through descriptions of teaching practices, the
authors bring us into the galleries along with participants to
demonstrate the value of art museums in supporting humanism in
healthcare for the benefit of both practitioners and their
patients. It includes advice on selecting meaningful and
provocative works of art; models of responsive workshop design;
compelling descriptions of gallery experiences; references to
supporting medical literature; and the voices of medical students,
physicians, and other health professionals. Chapters address key
topics including tolerating ambiguity; empathy; interprofessional
teamwork; confronting bias; the power of story; caring for the
spirit; wellbeing and mindfulness. This inspiring and practical
resource, written by three respected museum educators, is grounded
in their experience with multiple individual and institutional
partnerships and in designing hundreds of gallery experiences for
healthcare trainees and practitioners. This book will be valuable
to educators, leaders, and policy-makers in museums and health
care. These readers, as well as general audiences with an interest
in art and health will be inspired by the potential of art museums
to activate our empathetic imaginations and remind us of our shared
humanity.

BRING EM BACK ALIVE SID (Charles Sidney Williams, Sr.) is a
historical biography of the pioneer homesteader, rancher, horseman,
and sheriff. Sid s life spanned almost the entire post Civil
War-pre World War II time period, but his story here is concerned
primarily with the law enforcement problems of northwest Nebraska
during the prohibition and depression eras. Law enforcement of
northwest Nebraska during this time reveals the cultural aspects
and the trials and tribulations of the people who homesteaded and
established homes, farms, and ranches. Drought and low commodity
prices resulted in many foreclosures and hardships. Some land
owners attempted to ameliorate their poor conditions by the illegal
manufacture of stills and the production of moonshine liquor. A few
saw an opportunity to make a great deal of money. The poor economic
times finally ended with the advent of World War II.

A collection of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn films. 'Woman
of the Year' (1942) was the film which united the couple both off
screen and on. A high powered political columnist (Hepburn) falls
for a lowly sportswriter (Tracy) working on the same paper, even
though they are poles aparts socially and intellectually. However,
their relationship takes a turn for the worse after they marry,
with her unable to adapt to the role of housewife, and him driven
to drink by her intransigence. Hepburn won an Oscar for her role.
In 'Keeper of the Flame' (1942) a widely-revered politician dies
when his car runs off a bridge. Seasoned hack Steve O'Malley
(Tracy) begins researching a biography on the man, and, through the
revelations of his widow Christine (Hepburn), uncovers a number of
dark secrets about him. In 'Adam's Rib' (1949) Tracy and Hepburn
team up as a married couple finding themselves on opposite sides of
a court case. Whilst in 'Pat and Mike' (1952) Pat Pemberton
(Hepburn) is a PE teacher at a southern Californian college, who is
persuaded by shady sports promoter Mike Conovan (Tracy) to become a
professional athlete. As she flourishes in a number of disciplines,
the couple begin to fall in love - although there are plenty of
hurdles in the way of their eventual happiness.
Eliza Carthy's solo debut followed a collaboration with Nancy Kerr
and an album with her band, The Kings Of Calicutt. The latter
remained on the shelf until after the 1996 release of HEAT LIGHT
& SOUND. All the featured tunes are English, something that
doubtless pleased her parents Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson, as
both were champions of the genre at a time when it was overshadowed
by Celtic music. This delightful set, which is entirely traditional
save for one tentative original, includes a jaunty tale of
deception, "Cold, Wet & Rainy Night", and a fine version of
"10,000 Miles" appended by a morris jig. Other highlights are
remarkably assured deliveries of two of the great Child ballads,
"Sheath & Knife" and "Clark Saunders", the latter sung
unaccompanied.
