This history of the 'Torrid Zone' offers a comprehensive and powerfully rich exploration of the 17th century Anglophone Atlantic world, overturning British and American historiographies and offering instead a vernacular history that skillfully negotiates diverse locations, periodizations, and the fraught waters of ethnicity and gender.

Throughout the 1970s the British film industry struggled to produce films which performed well at the box office and appealed to audiences. As a result, the decade has often been considered as one of the low points of British cinema. But was this really the case? Conventional film histories of the decade have emphasised key texts and specific genres, such as the Bond films, the Carry On series or low budget horror. Yet British cinema in this period offered a great deal more to audiences, and careful study of original documents demonstrates the diversity and variety of an industry, and a decade, typically perceived as limited and unimaginative. An examination of important material - much of it newly discovered or previously under-used - offers an insight into the industry in this decade while key case studies present a detailed picture of the eclectic, diverse and often challenging film culture of the period.

Is there more to 1970s British cinema than sex, horror and James Bond?

For all of the technical explanations for meltdown in the financial markets during the banking crisis, the most readily accepted and almost universal explanation is the single word 'greed'. This is a subject which can at once be seen as the disease at the heart of society and the motivating force behind the progress of mankind.

Here in Book II of the Schoolmaster's Study Series we learn that God chose and prepared a special people to accomplish a cosmic purpose. Against the backdrop of the great war of the ages (See Genesis 3:15), God gave Abraham and his offspring two promises; a home and a Messiah that will bless the whole world. In this precious story recorded by Moses, the Spirit of Truth reveals the blessings of trusting God's promises wholeheartedly. We who are Christ followers know "He has granted to us his precious and very great promises" (2 Peter 1:4). As we watch God challenge the Israelites to discern and forsake the world's temptation and hold onto the matchless promises of God, we will find encouragement to hold onto God's promises ourselves as we assume our place and share the ultimate victory in the same great war of the ages. The Spirit teaches us that "Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God" (2 Corinthians 7:1).

Archer, woodsman, hunter of man and beast, consort to the Avatar of the Great Mother, father, and hero. Jared was all these things during his life, and more. But, before he helped save the city of Aeirsga, the Kingdom of Illyander and later the world of Aronshae, he was an orphan; a child lost in the world. This is the story of Jared in his early years and how his parents came to Illyander from the mysterious Eastern Kingdom, how they died, and how the young boy who had lost his parents before he knew them became one of the finest scouts and bounty hunters in all of Illyander. Sirus, his secretive mentor, taught him to use his abilities to commune with the animals of the forest and that trust was a liability he could ill afford. Jared's journey down the various paths of his life eventually led him to be one of the greatest heroes in all of Aronshae, but before that he was just a young man, trying to survive in a world that he had been taught to fear and never told why.
