An hilarious romp through the Afterlife in a Douglas Adams meets Terry Pratchett kind of way. If Monty Python had shot another movie, this would probably have been the one they shot dead. Dan arrives in Purgatory with Victor 3157, his well-meaning but incompetent guardian angel, where he finds he has to wash away his sins, outsmart angelic security and figure out how to get his life back. "Divine Comedy!" - The Wednesday Times. It's 8 a.m. in London, England, and Dan Trench is having a very bad morning. He has a terrible hangover from the night before, his girlfriend has left a message that she wants to talk to him right now, and he has left something he should not have lost in one of the bars he visited last night. But things are about to get very much worse, as unknown to him, his hapless guardian angel, Victor 3157, is also on his case. Dan is about to discover a whole new world where souls are washing away their sins in a place where they do things differently ... Historical novelist, Robert Carter, takes us on a detour into humor with his book, Sheer Purgatory. The author offers a glimpse into an afterlife that awaits 95% of us, whether we believe in it or not. Carter says: "I happened to read in the Daily Telegraph that Pope Benedict XVI had abolished Limbo, and I thought, well, if he doesn't want it, I'll have it." The annexation of Purgatory soon followed. Sheer Purgatory leads its readers through territory beloved of fantasy fans and Python geeks everywhere. Carter's background in physics has helped him create a consistent world running on rules that turn human behavior on its head, a world made not of matter and energy, but of ectoplasm and ether. From the moment of his demise, the hero must learn to get along and accomplish his goal of setting right a great injustice, and in the process discovers a whole new understanding of how things work on Planet Earth. "With a bit of luck," says Carter, "Dante will be turning in his grave." Sure to become a contemporary fantasy classic, Sheer Purgatory is fun-poking comedy at its best.

The year is 1912. Two Oxford men are members of the same college, but they could not be more different. The first, Stanley Walker, son of a shopkeeper, is studying engineering. The second, Jimmy Barrington, son of Britain's wealthiest banker, owns a fast car. They become friends. Jimmy's birthday picnic at Port Meadow turns into a grand gathering, attended by the cream of London society, who sip champagne served by the family's butler and enjoy the late summer sunshine. Stanley is introduced to Theda, Jimmy's headstrong sister, and the other members of the Barrington clan. None of them knows - though some suspect - that their world is about to change forever. When war breaks out, Jimmy decides to join the Royal Flying Corps, and he persuades Stanley Walker to come with him. Soon they are embroiled in a new kind of war which starts with the German invasion of Belgium. Not all goes according to plan, however, and while Stanley sticks to his guns, Jimmy's fate takes a turn that leads him to an even stranger battlefield. The Deadly Playground is the first volume of a series that recounts the story of the prestigious Barrington family during the Great War. A tale of espionage, romance and a portrait of power and influence moving behind the scenes as the curtain rises on the first act of a Century of tumultuous conflict. Hallmarked by attention to historical detail, this novel comes with a guarantee - that the reader will find a story that will make him or her regard the Great War in a completely new light. It is unlike any other story that has been told.

Around the beginning of the 20th Century, Walter E. Scott - Scotty to his friends - was passing through Death Valley, California, when he happened upon a dead man. Beside the corpse was a dog dying of thirst, and in the man's pocket was a piece of rock glittering with pure gold ... So begins one of the most endearing tales to come out of the American West. Scotty seized he day. He buried the body, saved the dog and worked out a plan that would change not only his own life, but that of many others. One of the lives Scotty changed was that of Albert M. Johnson, a wealthy but disabled Chicagoan who yearned for adventure. Johnson wanted for nothing in material terms, but he had suffered a broken back in the train wreck that had killed his father. Despite inheriting the biggest insurance company in the Midwest, he was not a happy man, until Scotty appeared, that is. Scotty loved to have a good time and to be the centre of attention. He was a romantic soul, a natural-born showman with a talent for making things happen. He used whatever money that came his way to enjoy life and enhance his reputation as a gold miner, but he also enriched the lives of others in a way that was his and his alone. Scotty played the newspapers of William Randolph Hearst at their own game. He ran financial risks that would make the average person dizzy, but he remained the kind of man that folks always wanted to see win. Death Valley Scotty is a tightly crafted story that follows the life of a loveable rogue through more ups and downs than you'll find in the Sierra Nevada. See how his luck changes as his plans start to unravel. Follow him as he works himself out of yet another tight corner and stays one step ahead of the law. Who knows what will happen next? "Death Valley Scotty" is reminiscent of "True Grit." It has the uplift of "It's a Wonderful Life." Set in a time when freedom seemed easier to find, this is a read that will surely make you smile.

The world is an interesting place it hangs on nothing. That is a quote from the Bible. How did the writer of the holy scripture know that the world hung on nothing? This question and many more are answered in the Little Book series. The Bible has outsold all books in the world today. Yet many get lost in its pages and do not understand it. This is astonishing in today's modern era.The Little Book is like no other study guide through the Bible. Mysteries that have not been understood by the Church have come to light. When you start your journey in the Little Book revelation of the scriptures and the leadership of the Holy Spirit will be the leader. The Little Book covers 144 promises that God spoke in the old testament. When God speaks what he says must come to pass. The performance of what God promised is what is explained in the unique Bible Study. The Little Book series can be used in your home study groups. The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ turned the world upside down. Jesus used uneducated men to spread his good news to the world. Jesus warned the people who did not follow and said they did not recognize the times. There the Lord God was before them and they did not recognize him. Now is the time to bring revelation to the Church long overdue. This book could turn your world upside down are you ready for that? The beloved Peter knew the times cause he said Jesus was Lord of all and Jesus said he would build his Church upon that revelation. The key here is a revelation. So it is my prayer that your revelation of this material is what you gain in your own spirit. Matthew 16:17 Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. This is my hope and prayer. Hearing the word builds you up in your faith. The Little Book was written to take on the controversy of the Bible. Many books on the Bible water down what the Bible says and so many subjects are taboo. So the Little Book series is not without its critics they are always around. When revelation comes remember the deceiver is there to twist and cause you not to move forward in the revelation. Stop and study each scripture as you go through the Bible Study. Spend time in meditation on the scriptures and promises.

This book is intended for science and engineering majors who are required to take calculus and are looking for a more intuitive way of understanding it. This is a non-rigorous infinitesimal approach which focuses on differentials of variables that represent physical quantities rather than derivatives as limits of of mathematical functions. In science variables are related in equations so this is the focus rather than on dependent and independent variables of functions. These methods were originally conceived by G. Leibniz over 300 years ago and have been used successfully by scientists ever since. It is written in the spirit of Calculus Made Easy by S. Thompson. Thompson wrote his book in 1910 before infinitesimals were legitimized. He used the concept of little bits of variables. Hopefully infinitesimal differentials will make calculus even easier. This is not a textbook. Examples are given to illustrate concepts but there are no exercise sets. It is meant to be used as a supplemental reading. This is the third edition with some new material and changes.
