The year is 2040 and for decades the world had seen many disasters until it peaked into one major event. The only thing imperative to human existence is to rescue the survivors and find a safe place to build again. Dependence is placed in the hands of the government with their assurance to deliver shelter and food; people follow obligingly. In defiance some go their own way; to survey a different piece of land capable of sustenance. Fast forward twenty-five years to discover what has become of the Two Worlds and the populations that now inhabit them. The great new city; where everyone has guaranteed work, advanced technology and mass produced products. Far away is a piece of paradise; full of innovation and creativity, where they remain low impact on the environment. There are things the Old World have that the New World wants; it is a race against each other and the elements to see who can be first to claim the prize, all being unaware of impending doom that is on the horizon. With the natural settlers attempting to stay one step ahead; ‘Will anyone survive?’
"A Tragic Grace is a direct, honest look at a difficult subject: child sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church. It includes the latest pastoral and psychological insights coupled with the author's original research. It documents this "sustained crisis" in the Church and offers concrete suggestions on how to understand and deal with the subject. Most importantly, A Tragic Grace offers a vision of hope. Within the seeds of this tragedy, the author sees the possibility of a stronger, more open, and accountable Church emerging."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Irish National Liberation Army was one of the most ruthless terrorist organisations during the troubles in Northern Ireland. Formed in 1974 as a splinter group of the Official IRA, the INLA's campaign of murder throughout the 1970s and 1980s included such notorious acts as the bombing of the Droppin' Well in Derry in 1982 and, perhaps most infamously, the kidnapping and mutilation of Dublin dentist by former member, the 'Border Fox'. Many of their leading members found death at the end of a gun, including founder members Seamus Costello and Ronnie Bunting, and leader Dominic McGlinchey. The INLA were also involved in numerous bloody feuds and splits. This new revised edition of a classic book brings the INLA story right up to date, featuring the 1997 killing of LVF leader Billy 'King Rat' Wright; their 1998 ceasefire; their continuing involvement in punishment attacks and criminal activities; and their declaration, in October 2009, that their armed campaign was finally over.
