YOU ARE NOT PREPARED Illidan Stormrage: one of the most powerful
beings ever to walk the lands of Azeroth, but also the least
understood...Long ago, the night elf sorcerer Illidan infiltrated
the demonic Burning Legion to ward off its invasion of Azeroth.
Instead of hailing him as a hero, his own kind branded him the
Betrayer. For ten thousand years, he languished in prison-vilified,
isolated, but never forgetting his purpose. Now the Legion has
returned, and there is only one champion who can truly stand
against it. Released from his bonds, Illidan prepares for the final
confrontation in the alien realm of Outland, gathering an army of
grotesque fel orcs, serpentine naga, cunning blood elves, and
twisted demon hunters to his side. Yet as before, he is assailed by
those who see his schemes as a cynical quest for power, including
the night elf Maiev Shadowsong, his former jailor. Warden
Shadowsong and her Watchers have pursued the Betrayer to Outland to
exact retribution for his crimes, and she will not rest until
Illidan is in her custody ...or in his grave.
This book reveals the nature and level of British engagement with
controversial and lethal nerve agent weapons from the end of the
Second World War to Britain's submission of a draft Chemical
Weapons Convention. At the very heart of this highly secretive
aspect of British defence policy were fundamental questions over
whether Britain should acquire nerve agent weapons for potential
first-use against the Soviet Union, retain them purely for their
deterrence value, or drive for either unilateral or international
chemical weapons disarmament. These considerations and concerns
over nerve agent weapons were not limited to low-level defence
committees, nor were they consigned to the periphery, but featured
prominently at the highest levels of the British government and
defence planning. Importantly, and despite stringent secrecy, the
book further uncovers how public scrutiny and protest movements
played a substantial and successful part in influencing policy and
attitudes towards nerve agent weapons.
This concise and completely up-to-date study guide bridges the gap
between a physics textbook and a self-test format exam aid. It
comprehensively covers all the areas examined in the FRCR part 1,
and by focusing on understanding the key concepts, rather than
simply being able to answer questions correctly, this guide adopts
a comprehensive, wide-ranging approach. It includes the latest
updated radiation safety legislation (IR(ME)(A)R), and all
information has been checked by a medical physicist as well as
radiologists. The unique format features self-test MCQs with
correct answers and associated key concepts. Test yourself over an
entire topic, then check your answers at the back of the book. If
you were not successful, you will not only be able to find the
correct answers, you will understand where you have gone wrong.
This book is highly recommended for candidates for the Fellowship
of the Royal College of Radiologists (FRCR) part 1 examination.

In 1961, MJ Galvin, an Irish building contractor in London, brings
over his kid brother, Tom, to join the family business. Educated,
sensitive and naive, and destined for the seminary, Tom witnesses a
killing, learns about dead men and the start in Camden Town,
experiences drunken brawls and the excitement of dancehall nights
in the Galtymore. He faces a decision that will shape his future:
will he join his successful brother and make a fortune, or follow
an inner voice towards the priesthood? The inner voice prevails,
Tom enrolls as a seminarian, goes to Rome, becomes a monsignor and
is tipped for a bishopric, only to renounce power and prestige, and
be relegated to a quiet country parish disillusioned by the
betrayal of principles within his Church as a new century dawns.
This powerful family saga evokes the tensions and transformations
within a new Ireland as traditional values give way to consumerism
and one man's odyssey becomes everyman's.
The Strangled Impulse follows a young curate uprooted from a
comfortable parish to serve the pastoral needs of working-class
North Dublin. Set against the backdrop of the Church's dwindling
influence in 1970s Ireland and an increased scrutiny of priests'
personal lives, this is the story of Father O'Neill's battles
between the demands of his vocation and his own desires. His
loneliness leads him to an attractive yet wounded woman, and
together they find a solace they once thought impossible. As
O'Neill struggles with the promises he made on ordination day,
their newfound intimacy threatens to destro them both.William
King's daring first novel offers an insight into the conflicted,
political, brotherly world of the priesthood. Re-issued for the
first time since its publication in 1997, it is augmented with an
afterword by the author reflecting on his work.
A Lost Tribe is a novel that charts the role of the priest in
Ireland, from his exalted position to one of an endangered species.
The seminarians at St Paul’s are granted permission to watch the
opening of Vatican II, transfixed by the procession of bishops
‘vested in flowing robes’. Seduced by the power emanating from
Rome and inspired by the vision of the Vatican Council, these young
men sacrifice their instincts to a life in the priesthood. The
dream collapses when the Irish Church becomes unwilling to evolve
with a rapidly mutating world and unable to wield the power it once
had. Unable to cope with the pressures of ministry and no longer
fulfilled by their call, many abandon their vocation to seek a new
life. Mac, a spirited young student, is disillusioned with the
inadequacy of his seminary training and is expelled for a tryst,
while timid fellow priests share remedies for the collective
loneliness of their vocation. King’s daring novel offers an
insight into the conflicted life of the priest struggling with the
demands of a self-selected lifestyle and the isolation of clerical
celibacy. A Lost Tribe is a poignant study of an altered society.
An account of the principal facts concerning Babylonian religion
and mythology. His account is based upon the cuneiform inscriptions
which have been excavated in Mesopotamia during the latter half of
the 19th century, and, as far as possible, the Semitic peoples of
the valley of the Tigris and Euphrates have been made to reveal
their religious beliefs and superstitions by means of their own
writings. At the time of original publication in 1899, Leonard
William King (1869 - 1919), was Assistant in the Department of
Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities, British Museum.
