The Council of Heaven
As THE COUNCIL OF HEAVEN opens it is night, before the dawning of God's Judgment Day on Earth. Lucifer (representing sinful man), made human by God to give His once favorite Archangel a last chance to repent of his envious ambition to be God, confronts a band of seven artists and poets also restored to early mortality: Dante, Michelangelo, Goethe, Milton, Leonardo, Shakespeare, and Rembrandt. They are to tempt him into reciting and evoking some of their masterworks most persuasive for his conversion. Strengthening them against Lucifer's own temptations is St. Francis of Assisi, God-sent mentor and guide, who may usher them, if earned, into the presence of the Most Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Women and the Miners' Strike, 1984-1985
Just days into the miners' strike of 1984-1985, a few women in coalfield communities around Britain began to meet to consider how they could support the strike, a clash with the Thatcher government over the future of the coal industry. Women ultimately formed a national network of groups that some observers saw as an 'alternative welfare state', helping to keep the strike going for just under a year. This book is the first study of this national movement, illuminating its achievements, but also telling the less well-known story of arguments and divisions with men in the National Union of Mineworkers and feminists in the women's liberation movement. Many women in the movement, despite their a...
