Joe loves the rush of victory in unlicensed fighting. But, memories of his estranged father haunt him, a notorious street-fighter from Glasgow's Gorbals.

The Christ-Man Chronicles
In The Christ-Man Chronicles, Cooper-Giles posits a compelling argument for both clergy and politicians, and their social issues, which should manifest and morph into models of progressive change and enlightenment. This book chronicles somewhat the search for bin Laden and Al Qaeda, the War on Terror, and the incidental attacks on Iraq in March 2003. The narrative also alludes to some reasons why there is much animosity and hatred toward America and some of its allies, especially so-called Israel, in the Muslim world. It affirms the double-standards, dubious, and often racist nature of Americas government policies in both domestic and foreign affair: particularly, its arrogant imperialistic ...
The Right Hand Man
Deep in various criminal empires, Davie Rhodes is a vindictive, deadly and notorious bare-knuckle legend without remorse for his victims. From a grim childhood in the Glasgow Gorbals slums, to working for The Godfather, then gunrunning for the IRA, he's a survivor. In the shadows between cities, he leaves a trail of destruction his own blood must resolve. And after causing his wife's suicide, he flees Aberdeen, abandoning son Joe to work for Jack Gallagher in Liverpool's seedy underworld. There, he meets his estranged son Max, who he also abandoned, and decides to mould him into the man that Joe would never be. But, it's not long before his past catches up with Davie and he's forced on the run again. He makes connections to the IRA under C4 Millacky, a notorious terrorist and gunrunner who's only ambition is to re-ignite the war in Ireland. Davie finds himself on 'Europe's Most Wanted' list, his only wish to get out alive amidst all the treachery, and rich, but will he?

Eileen Cooper
Surveying the uninhibited and wide-ranging career of a singular British artist This thought-provoking retrospective on Eileen Cooper (b. 1953) spans the entire breadth of her career, from her early days as a singular figurative voice in British art and her exploration of ideas of feminism and femininity in painting to her current mature work, characterized by uninhibited colors bursting with energy, contained by her expressive use of line. Martin Gayford expands his ongoing investigation of Cooper s work, aided by extracts from recent interviews with the artist, while Sara Lee explores Cooper's graphic work.

Discs of Distinction
Most record reviews consist of a single paragraph. These brief commentaries usually highlight the artist's recent releases, the style of music being performed, personal reactions to two or three tunes on the CD, and a critical judgment of the 12-song audio endeavor. This study offers much more. The remarkable recordings and exceptional artists presented below warrant more thorough, thoughtful reviews. These performers are placed within historical context and assessed for both particular CDs as well as their lifetime recording outputs. Featured songs are discussed as sociological subsets that help to define American popular culture.
