A Tale of Two Cities
Former Scotland defender Dave McPherson is the only player to have twice worn the light blue of Rangers and the maroon of Hearts. This book gives an account of his 15 years as a professional, in which he takes readers inside Tynecastle for a behind-the-scenes story of the Mercer years, the managers he's played under, and an insider's view of the club's resurgence under Jim Jeffries. He tells of life under Ibronx legends John Grieg and Jock Wallace before he was an early victim of the Souness revolution. His return to Ibrox under Walter Smith brought another league championship and the coveted Treble. This book provides an often humorous look at the contrasting fortunes of two of Scotland's biggest clubs.
Massey Hall
The fascinating story of Canada’s most revered concert hall and the myriad artists who have graced its stage. Known for its intimacy and sense of occasion, a night at Toronto’s Massey Hall is magical for both audiences and performers. For many musicians, playing the hall is the surest sign that they have made it. Looking out over the crowd, performers often comment that they feel they have joined history as they stand on the stage where Sarah Vaughan, Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, and so many other legends have stood. Based on scores of interviews and meticulous research, Massey Hall chronicles not only the historical and musical moments of the past 127 years, but also the community of artists and supporters that has built up around the hall. Covering both emerging artists such as Shakura S’Aida and William Prince and musical giants from Herbie Hancock to the Tragically Hip, this full-colour book is a celebration of music, community, and our shared cultural heritage.
Here Be Dragons
"Here Be Dragons is a wonderful little gem of a book. It's clever, it's funny, and it's just so heart-breakingly wholesome." The Fantasy Inn A mid-life crisis, a castle gardener, an unfaithful steed, a dastardly hero, a merciless king, and a dragon that needs saving. With heroes this bad who needs villains... When Orus graduated from the Cromalot School for Heroes he was ready for a life of glory and adventure. But after being seduced by his first damsel in distress, he quickly learns the heroing life doesn't bring in the steady income required to raise a family. Twenty years later, with his son all grown up and his waistband all grown out, a favour for a friend gives Orus one last shot at the life he always wanted. But any old hero can slay a dragon, this old hero has to save one. Perfect for fans of authors such as Sir Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams, Here Be Dragons is an action packed, comic fantasy full of unexpected heroes, dastardly villains, chases, escapes, questionable employment practises, ill-fitting trousers and an ill-tempered donkey (as if there was any other kind).
The Virtues of Limits
This work explores the place of limits within a well-lived human life and develops and defends an original account of limiting virtues, which are concerned with recognising proper limits in human life.
The Rapture Plot
Early in the 1800's-as the second wave of the Great Awakening reached its zenith-a tiny religious sect in Britain began to publicly teach a new end-of-the-world doctrine. Later in the 1800's, a second British sect-afraid the millions of ordinary Christians would learn of the bizarre origin of this new view-plotted to cover up its origins. And now it has grown to be the popular and sensational fundamentalist and evangelical any-moment, pretribulation rapture theory. MacPherson carefully documents, step by step, its origin in the 1820's, and follows its subsequent development and popularization in America by Darby and Scofield. This book is the never-before-told true story of how visions, subtle document changes, plagiarism, and what MacPherson called the mother of all revisionisms, has obscured the true origin of what has now become the sensationalist end-of-the-world doctrine pervading evangelicalism today.

The World Is Dead
The end of the world has come and gone. The dead have risen, and they've won. No more rallying of the troops. No miracle cure or weapon. Just lots of dead people walking around. If the living dead won, what would the world be like? This collection of eighteen tales-including entries from David Wellington, Jack Ketchum, and Gary A. Braunbeck-take up the call to answer that question. People go to work. Have sex. Get drunk. Fall in love. Take revenge. Raise families. Watch TV. Laugh. Mourn. Murder. Pray. The world is dead, but life goes on.
