Shame on the Moon
An extraordinary autobiography so relevant to our times when diversity and justice are at the forefront, when honesty in politics and journalistic practices are questioned at every turn. Jackson's journey, navigated with indefatigable determination and utmost trust in his inner guidance, talks out loud about both the intimate and professional aspects of his life. This book will be a source of tremendous encouragement and inspiration to every reader. Michael Bernard Beckwith author of Spiritual Liberation
Wasting a Crisis
In Securities Regulation Reassessed, Paul Mahoney shows that policy responses to financial crises are broadly similar across place and time: political actors, hoping to avoid blame for a financial crisis, create a narrative of market failure, arguing that misbehavior by securities market participants, rather than prior policy errors, is the primary cause of the crisis. Politically obliged regulators craft reforms that purport to solve problems which are either non-existent or only tangentially related to the crisis; yet they increase the complexity and expense of compliance, resulting in consolidation and concentration of market share in the hands of already leading financial firms. Securiti...
Come on with the Punt
"When I couldn't see her," says Paul Dean of his mother, who has placed him as an infant in a berry patch near the outport of North Harbour, Placentia Bay, Newfoundland, "I could always hear her as she chatted to Aunt Ann or Aunt Elsie as they picked their way through another summer of berries. When she wasn't talking, she sang; songs hymns, ditties. It didn't matter to me. I knew she was there and she knew I was safe and content. This was the whole world." Paul Dean is a geologist by training and a storyteller by avocation. Come on with the Punt collects the stories he wrote most years for the March Hare literary/musical festival that originated in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and has since s...

St. Paul's
The present St Paul's Cathedral, Christopher Wren's masterpiece, is the fourth religious building to occupy the site. Its location in the heart of the capital reflects its importance in the English church while the photographs of it burning during the Blitz forms one of the most powerful and familiar images of London during recent times. This substantial and richly illustrated study, published to mark the 1,400th anniversary of St Paul's, presents 42 scholarly contributions which approach the cathedral from a range of perspectives. All are supported by photographs, illustrations and plans of the exterior and interior of St Paul's, both past and present. Eight essays discuss the history of St...
Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Drawing from new and documented sources, a revisionist portrait of the actor's homosexuality and personal identity conflict argues that Dean's angst-ridden public compliance with rigid sexual mores helped fuel the electricity of his performances.
Break the silence to liberate the children
BREAK THE SILENCE TO LIBERATE THE CHILDREN This book is not a novel, it is the incredible testimony of a part of my life. After the death of my mother, I was 14, my father remarried.

Parivaraj was the ma...
The 1934 St. Louis Cardinals
The 1934 St. Louis Cardinals were one of the most colorful crews ever to play the National Pastime. Sportswriters delighted in assigning nicknames to the players, based on their real or imagined qualities. What a cast of characters it was! None was more picturesque than Pepper Martin, the “Wild Horse of the Osage,” who ran the bases with reckless abandon, led his teammates in off thefield hijinks, and organized a hillbilly band called the Mississippi Mudcats. He was quite a baseball player, the star of the 1931 World Series and a significant contributor to the 1934 championship. The harmonica player for the Mudcats was the irrepressible Dizzy Dean. Full of braggadocio, Dean deliv...
