Jack and Miss Jenny
Robert pulled open the old wooden door, entered, and paused to let his eyes adjust to the dimly lit building. Robert suddenly felt as if he had been struck by a lightning bolt. Every fiber in his body seemed to be on fire. He momentarily felt faint. There before him was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. She lay there before him, uncovered. His eyes were taking in all her beauty, her curves, and her delicate ribs. Robert reached out to touch her, to... Robert jumped. “You going to stand there and gawk or come over here and help me?” So on that fall morning, a man and a boy began their project. A resurrection of the past, a boat, and a man’s life.

A Performance Cosmology
Exploring thirty years of work by The Centre for Performance Research (CPR), A Performance Cosmology explores the future challenges of performance and theatre through a diverse and fascinating series of interviews, testimonies and perspectives from leading international theatre practitioners and academics. Contributors include: Philip Auslander, Rustom Bharucha, Tim Etchells, Jane Goodall, Guillermo Gomez-Pena, Jon Mckenzie, Claire MacDonald, Susan Melrose, Alphonso Lingis, Richard Schechner, Rebecca Schneider, Edward Scheer, and Freddie Rokem. A Performance Cosmology is structured as a travelogue through a matrix of strategic, imaginary, interdisciplinary field stations. This innovative framework enables readings which disrupt linearity and afford different forms of thematic engagement. The resulting volume opens entirely new vistas on the old, new, and as yet unimagined, worlds of performance.
Dottyville
Jennifer Greenaway has spent the past twenty years estranged from her alternative mother, Gypsy. When they are less than enthusiastically reunited, following an outrageous series of events which force daughter to care for mother, Jennifer discovers Gypsy's village to be far from normal.If sunbeam diets, breastfeeding teabags and winter solstice sacrifices weren't enough to scar a regular person, Jennifer also finds herself placating confused teenage daughter, Lizzie; reuniting with first love, Oscar; and battling her own antagonistic feelings towards her mother.Is Jennifer's attitude towards Gypsy really a punishment for the unorthodox childhood she was made to live, and ultimately ran away from as a teenager? Or is it hiding a deeper hurt and a darker secret which goes all the way back to that day in summer when she disappeared?
The Pastor’S Diary
For many years, people have asked me to write about my theology, and I have consistently said that I could tell them what I thought at that particular day but that it would be different tomorrow, which is to say that I strongly believe that theology is a growing thing, constantly changing within the context of a changing society. The book became much more autobiographical than I intended. I discovered that my theology changed because of any experiences I had. I have described my story chronologically, beginning with my early years and how the myth of Christianity was implanted in my mind. I go on to show how I got involved in the church during high school and college and discovered others ha...
Taste the Devil's Blood
A bad Demon gone good is trying to escape from the clutches of Hell. To prevent its return to the fiery pit it must recruit the help of one human to solve a centuries-old riddle hidden deep within the illuminated pages of the ancient Book of Kells. But it's not just the riddle with which the Demon needs help; a long-lost shrine is the only key to closing the portal to Hell until Judgment Day, and only one person can locate it-Sheila Myhra. Reluctantly joining forces with the Demon, Sheila must battle her own fears as well as two other Demons that will stop at nothing to prevent the shrine from being recovered. Sheila pits her new-found powers against an adversary as old as time itself with an accomplice that she cannot trust. If she solves the riddle, the Demon is free to roam the Earth at will. If they fail, the gateway between Earth and Hell itself will be torn open, and Sheila will be the first sacrifice.
Marine Renewable Energy Technology and Environmental Interactions
It is now widely recognized that there is a need for long-term secure and suitable sustainable forms of energy. Renewable energy from the marine environment, in particular renewable energy from tidal currents, wave and wind, can help achieve a sustainable energy future. Our understanding of environmental impacts and suitable mitigation methods associated with extracting renewable energy from the marine environment is improving all the time and it is essential that we be able to distinguish between natural and anthropocentric drivers and impacts. An overview of current understanding of the environmental implications of marine renewable energy technology is provided.
Shadow of a Ghost
When Patricia's mother sailed for America she left her baby behind in Ireland with her grandmother. Fourteen years later, and Pat is on route to America to meet the mother she's never known. It is 1912, and the ship Pat travels on is the Titanic. Just why has her beloved granny Edith sent her away? And why did her mother leave her? The earthly Pat will never know, and it is left to her ghost to travel back in time and find the answers. "Part literary ghost story, part historical document, this is a beguiling read. The concept is a striking one. The Titanic tragedy still holds our imagination, and while this has been used many times in film and fiction, there is always room for a new angle, which you certainly have here." - Cornerstones Literary Consultancy, London.
