Vicki Fairfax's account of the struggle to build an Arts Centre for all Victorians located in the heart of Melbourne makes for very exciting reading. Set against problems ranging from identifying and securing a site to seeing it completed and in operating mode many years later, the story provides insights into the generosity, creativity and vision of the many people involved. This book, with its hundreds of historic photos, plans and drawings will interest arts academics and architectural enthusiasts alike.
Cooper flies the Monte Carlo, a ship built to catch munitions that missed their targets in space only to put unsuspecting worlds in danger years, perhaps centuries later. The Monte Carlo is going after a missile group drifting next to the speed of light this time, and if they don't get everything exactly right, the civilization in the Rega Gain Solar System will be destroyed. War has gone interstellar, and the galaxy has become an even more dangerous place. Firing a weapon in the vacuum of space can cause repercussions days, years, or even centuries later when that bullet, missile, torpedo or other instrument of destruction makes an impact. That’s where heroes like Cooper come in. Interpla...
Secret II is the second in a cycle of books in which Michael James, having discovered his father was the Victorian murderer Jack the Ripper, unearths shocking truths about his familys dark secret. The year is 1945 and the war in Europe is over. Michael James continues with business as usual and his life returns to some normality. In the week leading up to Christmas, three separate events transpire; the first - the abduction of five children, the second - the release of Matthew Pilinger from prison, the agent for London trafficking, and the third the receipt of documented proof concerning the BLANCA faction and its members. The power behind BLANCA seek revenge on those who attributed evidence against them and put their London operation on hold; Michael James and Elizabeth McCauley, and it is the assignment of Matthew Pilinger to ensure they are found and punished in the appropriate manner. In the meantime Michael James sets out to discover the connection if any there may be in the abducted children, with the help of some new and some old characters.
This small volume exposes part of that artistic fingerprint which will ultimately show what really did happen. It began with an assignment to a free-lance writer, sent out through a popular media net-the classified ads in the back of local newspapers. In response, writer Ken Ludden was the one chosen to fulfill the assignment. When the assignment first came to write Mary Go-Round, there was no way to anticipate its ultimate success. Neither editor nor the writer had any notion how timely this drama would be, nor that it would touch at the centerpiece of LGBT lives for time to come. Out of the original weekly story (which ran ultimately for 54 consecutive weeks and then was syndicated to other magazines for the next 14 years) came a novel, a 20-hour screen play for an epic television series, a script for a one act play and the script for the pilot series.
In 1683, Henry Erskine/Askins/Haskins immigrated from Ulster, Ireland and founded Stuartstown, South Carolina. One descendant was Joseph Lewis Askins (1798-1872) who married Susan Hannah (1811-1862) about 1830. They had nine children. Descendants and relatives lived also in North Carolina and Virginia before migrating south and west.
