The Slaying of Joe Foster
No one challenged Joe Foster in life, not if they valued theirs. And then, the gangster is slain, his criminal empire up for grabs. A power vacuum; the Foster family is fighting for control, the other gangs in the area aiming to poach the trade in illegal drugs, to carve up the empire that the father had created. It has all the makings of a war on the streets, something nobody wants, not even the other gangs. Terry Foster, the eldest son of Joe, the man who should take control, doesn't have the temperament of his father, nor the wisdom. His solution is slash and burn, and it's not going to work, and people are going to get hurt, some of them are going to die.
Shoemaker
The remarkable story of how Joe Foster developed Reebok into one of the world's most famous sports brands, having started from a small factory in Bolton. Since the late 19th century, the Foster family had been hand-making running shoes, supplying the likes of Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams - later immortalised in the film Chariots of Fire - as well as providing boots to most Football League clubs. But a family feud between Foster's father and uncle about the direction of their business led to Joe and his brother Jeff setting up a new company, inspired by the success of Adidas and Puma, and so Reebok was born. At first, money was so short that Joe and his wife had to live in their rundown f...

House of the Beloved
Kurt Lingstorm is doing an archaeological dig under a church in Jerusalem which is believed to be built on top of the home where John the Apostle lived with Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Michael O’Brien is a priest and archaeologist who specializes in this area. He is brought in by Kurt and the Cardinal in charge of Holy Shrines. The attraction between the two men is instant but they must also deal with the burial niches and a Vatican representative to Jerusalem who is less than priestly and is blackmailing two of Kurt’s team members to steal from the site.
Something from Nothing
Something From Nothing explores the remarkable rise of Newfield Exploration, an independent crude oil and natural gas exploration and production company, from a nine-million-dollar startup to a thriving nine-billion-dollar conglomerate and explains the vital role its founder, Joe B. Foster, played. Before founding Newfield, for thirty-one years Foster held various positions in exploration, production, and strategic planning at Tenneco Oil. As president of Tenneco's E&P division, he spearheaded its development into one of the most successful exploration companies in the Gulf of Mexico. When Joe Foster learned that Tenneco planned to sell its oil properties, he could have cashed out his substantial severance package and taken up golf. Instead, he founded Newfield Exploration, acquiring leases and reserves at a time when activity in the Gulf was languishing.
Joe Gets a New Family and Starts a New School
Part of The New Road Friends series. Each book in the series includes guidance notes for parents and professionals. Carol Platteuw and illustrater Nicky Armstrong have created a beautiful set of 5 illustrated books for children. Each title, set among a group of friends at a primary school, explores themes common to adopted and fostered children, following their journeys and introducing the supportive people they meet. This book tells the story of Joe. His birth mother abused alcohol, he had to be cared for by his grandmother and then foster carers before he moved into an adoptive family. Beside having to move families, Joe also had to move school four times. Joe is supported with his difficult feelings by his adoptive mother and by making friends at his new school. This book sensitively explores how a child manages multiple losses, his worries about significant people in his past and his concern that he may be to blame for events. This book can be read to children by their parent or by a professional working with them. Guidance notes are provided to assist the reader in exploring some of the issues within the book further.
More Ghosts in the Gallery
An irony of enshrinement at the baseball Hall of Fame is that it's no guarantee of lasting name recognition. The sport's history stretches too far back, as today fans scratch their heads about athletes and owners who were among the most celebrated public figures of their time. Who was more renowned than George Wright, baseball's greatest star during the transition from amateur to professional play? Who was more feared than Big Dan Brouthers? Maybe it was Amos Rusie, who threw so hard that some say the rules makers increased the pitching distance just to make things fair. . Of the 256 players, managers and executives in the Hall of Fame, the names that are known well--Ty Cobb, Connie Mack, Wi...
