"Dr. Gao finds the best provisions and practices in respect of the fraud rule in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, and applies these standards to the reformulation of the fraud rule in the PRC. In the process be surveys the entire field of the fraud rule in the law of letters of credit in its substantive aspects, thus going deeper than mere banking law analyses and revealing, for the benefit of jurists everywhere, the fundamental legal issues that must underlie all sound judicial reasoning in the area. In more practical terms, this approach also allows judges to meet their essential responsibility - that of giving an answer when a case is put before them - with the widest and best possible degree of discernment."--BOOK JACKET.

This group, wielding a secret and revolutionary memory transfer device, aims to hijack human bodies and seize power. As Jack investigates, he fears his own Chief of Police may be involved. A dubious relationship emerges with the digitized mind of the prime suspect. This tense relationship thrusts Stewart into a vortex of deceit, seduction, and betrayal, challenging him to trust either the machine within the man or the man within the machine.

How can he outsmart a foe who always seems one step ahead?

Jack Stewart's No Reason explores the relationship between faith, art, and the everyday, identifying the holy in both the imagined and the common. The poems about paintings as diverse as El Greco's Holy Family and Mary Magdalene, Sisley's Snow at Veneux, and Turner's Burning of the House of Lords meditate upon the lives outside of the canvases. For Stewart, narratives do not end at the frame's edge. Other poems reimagine biblical narratives, as Stewart sees Adam, Eve, Lot's wife, and Job still among us. In No Reason, Jesus is most fully divine when he is fully human. Interspersed with these poems are ones from Stewart's own life, his unwillingness to believe that this world is all there is (his angels not only pity Adam and Eve, but get tangled in the branches of elm trees or are embarrassed when caught humming just after the air conditioner quits) and his conviction that, at its most accessible, grace grows out of doubt: "You lift your face / When you can't go on."
The President's Daughter This book tells the story of Jennifer Franklin, Daughter of President Robert Lloyd Franklin and her family. And the trials she goes through when she falls in love.
