Set in a well-known tourist island, Charles Mordray, a respected marine biologist and curator of an aquarium and zoo, and Geoffrey Cooper, scion of a powerful family are on converging paths. Mordray is desperate to clear his family name. Just prior to World War II, his father ignored a British government directive by attending a marine biology conference sponsored by the Nazi government. Geoffrey Cooper, to the chagrin of his father, has become one of the island's chief bon vivants. It is the pursuit of women who occupy most of young Cooper's waking moments. Both men will be affected by a startling event in 1968 that will imbue their fates along with a number of other islanders, shaking them to their very cores. "Finely crafted ... a page turn -- K. Satter."

What are the aims of sociology? What are its objects of study? How relevant is the classical tradition to the practice of sociology today? This volume brings together internationally renowned and new scholars to consider the changing relationship between contemporary and classical sociology. Arguing that recent historical and theoretical developments make reconsideration timely, it suggests that whilst the classical tradition has a continuing pertinence, it is inevitably subject to ongoing reconfiguration. Assessing the explanatory value of classical and contemporary forms of sociology, interrogating social theory as both a form of explanation and a mode of practice, and considering the possible consequences for the discipline of questions about its subject matter, Sociological Objects steers a course between assertions about radical epistemological breaks on the one hand, and reverence for the classical tradition on the other. Rather, it emphasizes the value of reworking, reconsidering and reconfiguring sociological thought.
In the opening pages of this, my book, you will read as to why I took so much. time in deciding to write of my personal dealings with my Lord and Saviour. It began with a seed planted in my heart by my granddaughter Clare, it took two years to germinate then grew into a personal record of Gods unfailing love and His ever open and listening ear. I had not made any notes of my prayers, never dreaming that I would have to recall them in putting pen to paper as it were. I felt compelled to record so many prayers and answers that my readers would be drawn closer to The Saviour of the world; my Lord and Saviour that you might come to Know Him, Love Him, and invite personally into your heart and Life. The Lord Bless you and Keep you.

Would Sherlock Holmes be able to catch Jack the Ripper?
