Botchaluna!
BOTCHALUNA! Is a rip roaring tale of action that finds middle aged Jewish male David Simpson having died and arrived in the inverse-reverse of life, known as Nowhere. Once there he is mentored by Judge Sydney Baines Hoggelmann-a Black Jewish Guinea Pig and his Guinea Pig Bailiff, Bop Hoggelmann (no relation). Joined by a cast of creatures & charecters straight out of history, cinema and politics, Simpson finds himself caught up in car chases, crime, sex, law, ethics, religion and culminating with THE Simpson trial. BOTCHALUNA is a book not to be missed and will be remembered always as one of the BEST works of comedic literature from the 21st century.
The Great Gatsby: A Novel
A beautifully illustrated version of the original 1925 edition of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic Great American novel. Widely considered to be the greatest American novel of all time, The Great Gatsby is the story of the wealthy, quixotic Jay Gatsby and his obsessive love for debutante Daisy Buchanan. It is also a cautionary tale of the American Dream in all its exuberance, decadence, hedonism, and passion. First published in 1925 by Charles Scribner's Sons, The Great Gatsby sold modestly and received mixed reviews from literary critics of the time. Upon his death in 1940, Fitzgerald believed the book to be a failure, but a year later, as the U.S. was in the grips of the Second World War, an ...
Broken
Timothy Keller once said, "It is an exaggeration to say that no one finds God unless suffering comes into their lives--but it is not a big one. When pain and suffering come upon us, we finally see not only that we are not in control of our lives but that we never were." Suffering is an important part of a Christian's walk with Christ and is something that all of us experience. In Broken, Adam Simpson shares his life and reveals the many struggles that he has experienced. Some of these include internal bleeding, shootouts, family issues, heart surgeries, and at least three times when he should have died, but did not. Allowing his heart to harden toward God, Adam shows the reader why being mad at God is completely counterproductive and pointless. Looking back to the book of Job and reading other stories about David and Paul was an enlightenment in Adam's journey back to God. Adam wrote this book because his many struggles and sufferings has hit home with many individuals and will identify with you also.
After the Coup
The coup in Myanmar on 1 February 2021 abruptly reversed a decade-long flirtation with economic and political freedoms. The country has since descended into civil war, the people have been plunged back into conflict and poverty, and the state is again characterised by fragility and human insecurity. As the Myanmar people oppose the regime and fight for their rights, the international community must find ways to act in solidarity. There is an urgent need for new policy settings and for practical engagement with local partners and recipient groups. The contributors to After the Coup offer timely insights into ways international actors can try to reduce the suffering of millions of citizens who are again being held hostage by a brutal and self-serving regime. Chapters analyse topics including coercive statecraft, international justice, Rakhine State (Rohingya) dynamics, pandemic weaponisation, higher education, non-state welfare and aid delivery, activism from exile, self-determination and power sharing in the National Unity Government’s alternative constitution, and the roles of China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
Energy, Governance and Security in Thailand and Myanmar (Burma)
Across the world states are seeking out new and secure supplies of energy but this search is manifesting itself most visibly in Asia where rapid industrialisation in states such as China and India is fomenting a frantic scramble for energy resources. Due to entrenched societal inequities and widespread authoritarian governance, however, the pursuit of national energy security through transnational energy projects has resulted in devastating impacts on the human and environmental security of local populations. These effects are particularly evident in both Thailand and Myanmar (Burma), which, located at the crossroads of Asia, are increasingly engaged in the cross-border energy trade. Based o...
The Life of Adam Smith
This new edition of The Life of Adam Smith remains the only book to give a full account of Smith's life whilst also placing his work into the context of his life and times. Updated to include new scholarship which has recently come to light, this full-scale biography of Adam Smith examines the personality, career, and social and intellectual circumstances of the Scottish moral philosopher regarded as the founder of scientific economics, whose legacy of thought - most notably about the free market and the role of the state - concerns us all. Ian Simpson Ross draws on correspondence, archival documents, the reports of contemporaries, and the record of Smith's publications to fashion a lively account of Adam Smith as a man of letters, moralist, historian, and critic, as well as an economist. Supported with full scholarly apparatus for students and academics, the book also offers 20 halftone illustrations representing Smith and the world in which he lived.
