10,000 Ways to Die
40 years ago as a Graduate student I wrote a book about Spaghetti Westerns, called 10,000 Ways to Die. It's an embarrassing tome when I look at it now: full of half-assed semiotics and other attenuated academic nonsense. In the intervening period, I have had the interesting experience of being a film director. So now, when I watch these films, I'm looking at them from a different perspective. A professional perspective maybe...I'm thinking about what the filmmakers intended, how they did that shot, how the director felt when his film was recut by the studio and he was creatively and financially screwed. 10,000 Ways to Die is an entirely new book about an under-studied subject, the Spaghetti Western, from a director's POV. Not only have these films stood the test of time; some of them are very high art. - Alex Cox
The King's Legacy
Howard Cox discovered a secluded place in the year 1000 which he named White Valley. White Valley has had its own Royal family who ruled here from the year 1005 to about the year 1322. It was the Whitebeard family that ruled here for generations. There were many intrigues and terrible fights for power and for the money that was in the king's vault in the Mount Fort Castle, that once was built by the citizens for the king and his successors.

King Harold, of course, had wished for a son, but his wife Matilda gave him only ...

The Pastor’s Pen
No one should blindly accept what anyone tells them regarding the Bible without examining God’s word themselves. We should all be as the Berean people in Acts chapter 17 and search the scriptures. In The Pastor’s Pen, author Pastor Richie Thomas offers a fifty-two-week devotional, encouraging Christians to delve deeply into the Bible. Initially written as articles for his local newspaper, The Putman County Courier Journal, between 2019 and 2021, this collection of devotionals presents an opportunity to read one article each week in conjunction with the corresponding scripture, pray about it, and journal your experiences and spiritual growth. The devotionals often deal with difficult topics and challenge you to apply the learnings in your everyday life. In The Pastor’s Pen, Thomas encourages you to think, pray, and examine the word of God more closely than ever before and draw closer to Christ through the study of his word.
The Global Cigarette
The Global Cigarette provides the first authoritative account of The British American Tobacco Company's evolution and growth up until the Second World War. Based on archival materials from a wide variety of sources, including the company's own records, the book shows the way in which the company developed a vast array of international operating subsidiaries, explores how it managed these enterprises in different political and cultural contexts - notably in China and India - and analyzes the way in which the company, as a mature multinational enterprise, coped with the severe international economic dislocations of the 1930s.
A Weary Road
More than 16,000 Canadian soldiers suffered from shell shock during the Great War of 1914 to 1918. Despite significant interest from historians, we still know relatively little about how it was experienced, diagnosed, treated, and managed in the frontline trenches in the Canadian and British forces. How did soldiers relate to suffering comrades? Did large numbers of shell shock cases affect the outcome of important battles? Was frontline psychiatric treatment as effective as many experts claimed after the war? Were Canadians treated any differently than other Commonwealth soldiers? A Weary Road is the first comprehensive study to address these important questions. Author Mark Osborne Humphries uses research from Canadian, British, and Australian archives, including hundreds of newly available hospital records and patient medical files, to provide a history of war trauma as it was experienced, treated, and managed by ordinary soldiers.
