Action thriller starring Keanu Reeves as a former hitman who must return to the criminal world he left behind in order to seek revenge.
After John Wick refuses to sell his car to Russian gang leader Iosef, the gang members break into his home and kill his dog, a gift left to him by his deceased wife Helen. It turns out that Iosef is the son of Wick's ex-boss Viggo Tarasov, head of the Russian mafia in New York.
As John attempts to track down and kill Iosef he encounters assassin Ms. Perkins, who is working for Viggo, and eventually faces his former boss in an ultimate showdown.
Thoughts of Alabama invite images of Confederate jasmine and
fertile cotton fields, sweet iced tea and southern hospitality. But
even in paradise, evil sometimes creeps in. Some of the stories
captured within the pages of this book are well known to the good
folks of North Alabama; others are less familiar. The scandals of
Lincoln's brother- in-law, the reign of terror created by
Huntsville's Southwest Molester, the Decatur man who buried his
wife's dismembered body under the fishpond and the beautiful Black
Widow of Hazel Green- all of these stories and more are well
researched and masterfully written by Huntsville author Jacquelyn
Procter Reeves. True-crime fans will appreciate this treasury of
stories spanning nearly two hundred years of North Alabama history.

When Hong Kong fell to the Japanese on Christmas Day 1941, Macao
was left as a tiny isolated enclave on the China Coast surrounded
by Japanese-held territory. As a Portuguese colony, Macao was
neutral, and John Reeves, the British Consul, could remain there
and continue his work despite being surrounded in all directions by
his country's enemy. His main task was to provide relief to the
9,000 or more people who crossed the Pearl River from Hong Kong to
take refuge in Macao and who had a claim for support from the
British Consul. The core of this book is John Reeves' memoir of
those extraordinary years and of his tireless efforts to provide
food, shelter and medical care for the refugees. He coped with
these challenges as Macao's own people faced starvation. Despite
Macao's neutrality, it was thoroughly infiltrated by Japanese
agents. Marked for assassination, he had to have armed guards as he
went about his business. He also had to navigate the complexities
of multiple intelligence agencies -- British, Portuguese, Japanese,
Chinese Nationalist -- in a place that was described as the
Casablanca of the Far East.
She said, We needed a tool. So I asked the gods.
There have always been whispers. Legends. The warrior who cannot be
killed. Who’s seen a thousand civilizations rise and fall. He has had
many names: Unute, Child of Lightning, Death himself. These days, he’s
known simply as “B.”
And he wants to be able to die.
In the present day, a U.S. black-ops group has promised him they can
help with that. And all he needs to do is help them in return. But when
an all-too-mortal soldier comes back to life, the impossible event
ultimately points toward a force even more mysterious than B himself.
One at least as strong. And one with a plan all its own.
In a collaboration that combines Miéville’s singular style and
creativity with Reeves’s haunting and soul-stirring narrative, these
two inimitable artists have created something utterly unique, sure to
delight existing fans and to create scores of new ones.

"We can't do that in our school district." "I don't have time to
add that to my curriculum." "We're fighting against impossible odds
with these students." Sound familiar? School improvement can often
feel like a losing battle, but it doesn't have to be. In this fully
revised and updated second edition of The Learning Leader, Douglas
B. Reeves helps leadership teams go beyond excuses to capitalize on
their strengths, reduce their weaknesses, and reset their mindset
and priorities to achieve unprecedented success. A critical key is
recognizing student achievement as more than just a set of test
scores. Reeves asserts that when leaders focus exclusively on
results, they fail to measure and understand the importance of
their own actions. He offers an alternative-the Leadership for
Learning Framework, which helps leaders identify and distinguish
among four different types of educators and provide more effective,
tailored support to: "Lucky" educators, who achieve high results
but don't understand how their actions influence achievement.
"Losing" educators, who achieve low results yet keep doing the same
thing, expecting different outcomes. "Learning" educators, who have
not yet achieved the desired results but are working their way
toward excellence. "Leading" educators, who achieve high results
and understand how their actions influence their success. Reeves
stresses that effective leadership is neither a unitary skill nor a
solitary activity. The Learning Leader helps leaders
reconceptualize their roles in the school improvement process and
motivate themselves and their colleagues to keep working to better
serve their students.
