David Blair directs this British drama, loosely inspired by John
Steinbeck's novel 'Of Mice and Men'. Set in Nottingham, the film
revolves around the relationship between the thuggish Danny
(Stephen Graham) and Joseph (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), a giant of
a man with a mental age of seven. When Danny finds himself in debt
to a local crime boss, he feels he is left with no choice but to
manipulate Joseph into participating in a series of underground
cage fights from which Danny can profit. Salvation appears to call
out to both men when they begin relationships with Lisa (Emma
Stansfield) and Isabel (Maxine Peake), but will they be able to
escape the bloody world of gambling and fighting Danny has plunged
them into?
It is a great pleasure to welcome the new edition of the book
written by Prof. Edward and Prof. Lane, which carries on the
success of the earlier ones. This new edition contains a
comprehensive and critical study of the European Union legal order,

This book offers a new interpretation of the metaphysics of Charles
Peirce (1839-1914), the founder of pragmatism and one of America's
greatest philosophers. Robert Lane begins by examining Peirce's
basic realism, his belief in a world that is independent of how
anyone believes it to be. Lane argues that this realism is the
basis for Peirce's account of truth, according to which a true
belief is one that would be settled by investigation and that also
represents the real world. He then explores Peirce's application of
his Pragmatic Maxim to clarify the idea of reality, his two forms
of idealism, and his realism about generality and vagueness. This
rich study will provide readers with a clear understanding of
Peirce's thoughts on reality and truth and how they intersect, and
of his views on the relation between the mind and the external
world.

THE Practical Reflections may be called one of our standard books
of pidy. During the space of little more than a century, ten
editions have been published; and it is now in more general use,
and meets with more universal approbation than at any former
period. The concise manner in which the subjects are treated,
renders it particularly useful for those who have not time for much
reading; and the quantity of matter which is compressed into that
small compass, makes it beneficial to those who have time to
protract their meditations. The name of the pious author has
hitherto been concealed. From the following account, however, sent
to the editor by that learned and persevering investigator of
Catholic biographical history, &c., the Rev. J. Kirk, of
Lichfield, it may be presumed that the author was the Rev. Robert
Lane, alias Bowes: "Robert Lane, alias Bowes, educated at Douay,
lived at Hatherop, (the seat of the Webb family, near Fairford,
Gloucestershire, ) died at Bath, December 17, 1735. He was author,
says Mr. Eyre, of Ushaw, in a letter of January 6, 1791, of the
Practical Reflections. The late: Mr. John Lee, of Hammersmith,
declared to me in the year 1815, and to the Rev. Mr. Hodgson,
frequently, that his original MS. was at Hatherop, w hen he lived
there. On the other hand, Mr. Darell, of Calehill, being asked by
Bishop Poynter, (at my request) May 6th, 1821, whether he knew of
any tradition in his family of the Practical Reflections being the
work of Father Dorrell, answered, that he knew of none."
When Jake Travis is contracted by his ex-Army colonel to retrieve a
missing fifty year-old Cold War letter, he quickly finds himself
entwined in a world where the line between good and evil becomes
increasingly blurred. The letter, written in 1961 by a CIA
operative who met a mysterious demise, has ended up in the
possession of Raydel Escobar. As Jake relentlessly pursues the
enigmatic Escobar, he soon discovers that Escobar is involved in
far more than simply blackmailing the IRS in exchange for the
letter. Assisted by his partner Garrett and neighbor Morgan, Jake
turns up the heat on Escobar. Fascinated with the letter's origins
and the fate of those who first touched the document, Jake will
stop at no end--moral or otherwise--to complete his assigned task.
Jake's girlfriend questions why he places their relationship, and
his life, in jeopardy for something he knows so little about. The
Second Letter is a page-turning mystery that blends suspense with
literary fiction. Set on the west coast of Florida, its plot
twists, richly-drawn characters, and sharp, witty dialogue forge a
gripping and entertaining read. Jake discovers that only by risking
everything can he define himself, secure his relationship with the
woman he loves, and discover the message of the second letter.
..".a standout sleuth...a worthy new entry into the suspense
genre." Foreword Clarion Reviews, Five Stars "Lane's crime thriller
features a wisecracking Jacob Travis...with a penchant for breaking
the rules...certainly worth a read for fans of the genre." Kirkus
Reviews "Robert Lane's novel, The Second Letter, is an entertaining
read fueled by a riveting story featuring a wisecracking, somewhat
reluctant hero...the book moves at an idea pace..." blueink Review
A delightfully silly tale of the life of barnyard animals and a day
with a special celebration going on.
