THE EXPLOSIVE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
With all-new excerpts from Richard Clarke's dramatic public
testimony, and revealing corroboration from The 9/11 Commission
Report
From the 9/11 Commission Report:
"On the day of the meeting September 4, 2001], Clarke sent Rice an
impassioned personal note. He criticized U.S. counterterrorism
efforts past and present. The 'real question' before the
principals, he wrote, was 'are we serious about dealing with the al
Qida threat?...Is al Qida a big deal?..."Decision makers should
imagine themselves on a future day when the CSG has not succeeded
in stopping al Qida attacks and hundreds of Americans lay dead in
several countries, including the US, '" Clarke wrote. 'What would
those decision makers wish that they had done earlier? That future
day could happen at any time.'"
The book reveals the changing dynamics of the helium industry on
both the supply-side and the demand-side. The helium industry has a
long-term future and this important gas will have a role to play
for many decades to come. Major new users of helium are expected to
enter the market, especially in nuclear energy (both fission and
fusion). Prices and volumes supplied and expected to rise and this
will prompt greater efforts towards the development of new helium
sources and helium conservation and recycling.
An illustrated and highly practical guide to the technique of
making collagraphs. Collagraphs are prints that can be made in a
number of ways: from collages, relief sculpture, caste plaster
plates, carved, stripped and layered plates, plates painted with
glues or even from a combination of all these methods. The
flexibility of this process means that it is one of the most fluid
approaches to printmaking which gives you greater creative freedom
than other methods. In this book, explore a wide range of
techniques with practical hints about choosing materials and
printing methods to achieve the best results. You can also learn
all about the historical use of collage in printmaking, looking at
the work of artists like Picasso, Georges Braque and Kurt
Schwitters. With illustrations of the work of many different
British and international collagraph artists, this book is the
perfect practical and inspirational guide for printmakers of all
levels.
Solid scriptural evidence and a close look at historical context
refute the traditional interpretation used to bar women from
leadership.
Tracing the history of female crime and execution from 1726 to
1955, Women and the Noose presents the cases of over fifty women
who met their end on the hangman's gallows. From the criminal act
to the execution day itself, the women's stories illustrate the
range of crimes punishable by execution such as petty theft and
murder, as well as reactions to the death sentence, including
'pleading the belly' as a defence. Richard Clark also discusses the
developments in execution methods, from burning at the stake to the
short-and long-drop; and the move from the very public hangings to
the more dignified private events. Clark's frank treatment of the
executions combined with sympathetic revelations about the women's
private lives makes Women and the Noose a chilling and surprisingly
moving read.

This open access book brings together 16 specially commissioned
chapters drawn from a range of different professional-practitioner
and academic global perspectives on the importance of the
relationship between people and green and blue spaces. It focuses
on issues surrounding the importance of natural environments on
public health and wellbeing, and the environmental, cultural, and
social importance of green and blue spaces that can result through
responsible and sustainable adaptive management processes. It
explores how the Covid-19 pandemic forced reconsiderations of our
relationship with these natural spaces and highlights the important
impact of the pace of climate change. While not pretending to have
the answers, the stimulating and imaginative contributions embrace
rich perspectives drawn from backgrounds as diverse as heritage
studies, tourism, conservation, geography, policy formulation,
public health, environmental health, research methods, history,
literature, art, and theology.Â
This book traces how religion could have originated in prehistory
and antiquity, out of natural human and prehuman behaviour.
Religion is defined here as beliefs, conceptions, practices and
roles concerned with the 'supernatural'. A variety of elements of
religion can be identified. These include: spirits, ghosts, life
after death, heaven, shamans. To try to reduce religion to a single
original element is a mistake. There may be no single origin. But
the individual elements have separate origins, and these can be
traced. The common subjective component of religious elements is
the numinous, which is commonly ascribed to external sources
identified as 'supernatural' and 'spiritual'. The numinous sense is
explained by means of certain neural processes with a focus in the
temporal lobes. Probably for the first time, evidence is brought to
bear from primatology, palaeoanthropology, ethnography, ancient
history and history of religions, as well as theology, neurology
and psycho-pharmacology. The field of origins of religion has been
neglected by anthropology since the 1930s, but has enjoyed renewed
interest from the 1990s. This wide-ranging interdisciplinary book
makes an important contribution to the field.
