Blind Eye
Emery Blackstone. Loner. Defiant. Vigilante. He removes the scum from the streets, who the police are powerless to touch. He delivers his style of justice and removes the problem from society’s presence. Then he quietly goes on with his unobtrusive, semirural life. In such a small city, though, the deaths of suspected killers and psychos are starting to catch the attention of the local police, with top forensic psychologist, Sanela Jugum, brought in to profile the latest killer. This takes her down a path that will see her and Emery racing to find him first. Only this time, will they both be too late?
Jews of Florida: Centuries of Stories
This first comprehensive history of the Jews of Florida from colonial times to the present is a sweeping tapestry of voices. Despite not being officially allowed to live in Florida until 1763, Jewish immigrants escaping expulsions and exclusions were among the earliest settlers. They have been integral to every facet of Florida's growth, from tilling the land and developing early communities to boosting tourism and ultimately pushing mankind into space. The Sunshine State's Jews, working for the common good, have been Olympians, Nobel Prize winners, computer pioneers, educators, politicians, leaders in business and the arts and more, while maintaining their heritage to help ensure Jewish continuity for future generations. This rich narrative - accompanied by 700 images, most rarely seen - is the result of three-plus decades of grassroots research by author Marcia Jo Zerivitz, giving readers an incomparable look at the long and crucial history of Jews in Florida.
Well Suited
'An impressive range of sources... a fascinating, thorough and well produced book. Well Suited's wide scope will appeal to a range of historians - those interested in costume and textiles, gender, Jewish history, economics and business as well as Leeds residents for whom, even if they were not dependent on it, the clothing industry provided a backdrop to everyday life for much of the twentieth century.' -Costume Society'This is a tale of one city, a comprehensive account of an industry extraordinarily important to the economy of Leeds for over a century. But while the book focuses on this national centre of clothing manufacture, the issues considered are anything but parochial.' -Costume Soc...
Appraising The Graduate
The popular success in 1967 of The Graduate was immediate and total; at the time, only Gone with the Wind and The Sound of Music were bigger box-office winners. Yet such phenomenal success came at a price: On the film's 40th anniversary, director Mike Nichols claimed that The Graduate had been "whipped away" by a young audience hungry for countercultural documents. This study, the first monograph on The Graduate, explores how popular and subsequent critical reception deflected a full understanding of the film's complex point of view, which satirizes everything in its path--especially Benjamin and Elaine, its young "heroes." The text explores how the film offers not the happy ending some imagine, but a corrosive and satirical vision of humanity.

Who is Who in British Guiana - 1945 - 1948
A transcription of a text published in British Guiana in 1948 listing 4351 individuals together with their occupations and some details of their accomplishments. This directory must have been very useful at the time of its original publication, but after nearly 70 years is of little if any practical commercial value. It has been reproduced purely for the purpose of informing current and future generations in Guyana of their ancestors and their accomplishments. From a genealogical perspective therefore, it may serve some useful purpose.
The Woman from Magdala
The story is about Mary Magdalen, a repentant sinner, who sets out on a "quest" for a husband following the death of her parents. Her quest continues after being seduced by her cousin David, on his fishing boat on the Sea of Galilee, the night Jesus is born in far-off Bethlehem. Mary then becomes involved as a concubine, a sex-slave, adultery, a lover and a mistress. She is present at the baptism of Christ, Cana, the beheading of John the Baptist, the woman caught in adultery at the Temple in Jerusalem and at the Mount of Olives where she hears Jeshua instruct people gathered there. Mary finds her long-sought-after spouse at her death, when she is united with her Eternal Bridegroom.
