In this third installment of the series, veteran transit cop Morris Fitzgerald must sort through the politics and prejudices of the city to unravel the mysterious disappearnance of antique books and artificats from the city's libraries. Like its predecessors, Troubled Waters and Code Black, The Third Raill delves into the complex racial divides of Boston while providing a distinct and entertaining glimpse into the city's character.
It's 1988 and thinks could be looking up for The Smiling Reptiles. The North of England Battle of the Bands competition could be just the break needed for: Frontman Stevo, a drug-fuelled egomaniac, meglomaniac sex maniac. Vinny, a pot smoking guitarist with a rare talent...for plagiarism. Scat, a timid ex-Punk bassist, ill at ease with his new-found funk tendancies. Narcissistic pretentious knob-twiddling synth player Lexxo, and drummer/plumber Raggerty, a no-nonsense skin pounder with more than a passing fondness for the amber nectar. On the other hand, the contest could turn out to be just another dead-end smalltown gig, but not for the shadowy figure trailing their every move; for him it's a matter of life and death...

Milne, published in 1926. Milne wrote the episodic stories of Winnie-the-Pooh and its sequel, The House at Pooh Corner (1928), for his young son, Christopher Robin, whose toy animals were the basis for many of the characters and whose name was used for the young boy who appears in the tales as the benign master of the animals.The main character, Winnie-the-Pooh (sometimes called simply Pooh or Edward Bear), is a good-natured, yellow-furred, honey-loving bear who lives in the Forest surrounding the Hundred Acre Wood (modeled after Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, England). His companions are Eeyore, a gloomy gray donkey; Piglet, a timid pig; Owl, a pontificating bird; the meddlesome Rabbit; and Kanga, an energetic kangaroo whose inquisitive baby, Roo, lives in her pouch.Pooh, a self-described "Bear of Very Little Brain," gets himself into all kinds of sticky situations, and the book's 10 chapters recount his various adventures. In the first chapter, Pooh hears bees in the treetop and believes they must be making honey. After unsuccessfully attempting to climb the tree, he uses a balloon to pretend he is a cloud, but the bees are suspicious. Deciding they are the wrong sort of bees, Pooh realizes he is unable to get down, and he enlists the help of Christopher Robin, who pops the balloon with a gun. In a later adventure, Pooh visits Rabbit and, after eating too much, gets stuck in Rabbit's doorway. For the next week, Pooh fasts while Christopher Robin keeps him company. Finally he is slim enough for the others to pull him free. Pooh's kindness is also evident, notably when he finds Eeyore's missing tail in chapter four. Later in the book Pooh demonstrates his bravery when he and Christopher Robin set off in an upturned umbrella to rescue Piglet. (Britannica 2018)

Σε μια μικρή πόλη της Αμερικής, το Κόπερβιλλ, υπερφυσικές σκιές ταράζουν την ησυχία των κατοίκων, τους οποίους επισκέπτονται χρόνια τώρα υφαίνοντας τις τύχες τους μέσα από ίντριγκες και ανεκπλήρωτους έρωτες. Κάθε τόσο, στο χτύπο της αλλαγής της ώρας του παλιού ρολογιού του δημαρχείου τα πάντα παγώνουν στην επαρχιακή πόλη και οι σκοτεινές οντότητες ξεθάβουν μυστικά που οι γηραιότεροι της πόλης είχαν φροντίσει να έχουν καλά καταχωνιασμένα. Στη διάρκεια των προβών της θεατρικής παράστασης των τελειόφοιτων του τοπικού κολλεγίου, οι καταστάσεις περιπλέκονται, καθώς πρόβα με την πρόβα οι μαθητές μεταλλάσσονται στους ήρωες του δράματος. Κανείς δεν ξέρει αν εντέλει οι χαρακτήρες που υποδύονται θα τους λυτρώσουν ή θα τους καταπιούν, αφήνοντας τη σκιά τους στο σανίδι σαν σκοτεινή ανάμνηση.
Britain allied with Russia and France during the First World War but the October Revolution in 1917, the Russian Civil War and the formation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1922 led to a decline in diplomatic relations. Although the Soviet Union was allowed an embassy in London in 1924, the British Embassy in Moscow did not open until 1929. The economic depression during the 1930s was accompanied with widespread political disagreements. Left-wing opposition to right-wing policies led to demonstrations, strikes and in some cases violence. The more conservative political parties viewed the Communist Party as a threat. Although some countries made membership of a communist party illegal, the British conservative government instructed its Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) to collect information about its membership and activities and to identify and potentially defuse threats. Adolf Hitler's annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland in 1938 led Joseph Stalin to offer to move Soviet military forces to the German border to support France and Britain. As it would entail movement through Poland, the offer was refused. Fearing a Russian attack, Hitler ordered Joachim Ribbentrop, his Foreign Secretary, to meet Vyacheslav Molotov, the Soviet Foreign Secretary, and negotiate a ten-year peace deal with the Soviet Union. It included a secret agreement to divide Eastern Europe between them. Having invaded Norway, the Low Countries and France in June 1940, the German armed forces failed to invade Britain. Winston Churchill ordered the creation of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), a subversive intelligence organisation with a mission 'to set Europe ablaze by sabotage.' In June 1941 Hitler reneged on his agreement with the Soviet Union and ordered Operation Barbarossa, the Axis invasion of Russia. This prompted urgent meetings between Britain and the Soviet Union which led to a top-secret agreement between the two countries and their intelligence services having to collaborate for the first time. Bernard O'Connor's 'The decline of Anglo-Soviet relations during the Second World War' is a documentary history which uses previously classified files in the British National Archives and other sources to investigate the collaboration between the British Foreign Office, the SIS and the SOE with the Soviet intelligence service, the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs (NKVD).

Find yourself immersed in North Carolina, where living among the rest of the world is one person that just "gets it."

"It is ordinarily difficult to write a story through the eyes of a child, but Stephen Crate is not your ordinary author. Not since C.S. Lewis has an author so perfectly blended life, mythology and spirituality so completely. His book should be on every teachers bookshelf and even in a few doctors waiting rooms." Rev. Dr. Mark C. Ferris

The Apocalypse is now, and the world is cold and shrouded in darkness. The Four Horsemen have delivered their Dooms, demons and angels make war, and the walking dead stalk the living. Barachai Jaiden Gifter is the unlikely leader of a bastion of hope in the darkness, a citadel called Ha Shomrim. Called Moshiach by some, he struggles to protect the people under his care from the titanic struggle of Heaven and Hell, a battle destined to annihilate the world and all life on it. Fortunately, Barachai is not alone in this fight. His allies include John Henry (a redneck cyborg), Lord Richard (an English secret agent), and Alphonse (his brother-in-law, a slightly reformed infernal wizard). Arrayed against them are minions of Hell with familiar faces. Elvis Presley had sold his soul for fame and fortune; now he has been sent back with the power of storms at his command. Worse, the shade of Adolph Hitler is still on the loose and looking for vengeance against Barachai and his citadel.

Welcome to a masterpiece of Modern Russian poetry! These poems represent the ancient version of ABC book (i.e., "Glagolitic alphabet", also referred to as 'betony" and "bloomers") that laid foundation for the modern phonetic alphabet. It has been reformed many times for political & religious purposes, which did not only decrease people's energy and precision in communication, but also killed the imagery of letters, words, and grammatical structures. The author stresses the regression of human nature, comparing the wisdom-related old ABC book with modern social phenomena primitively expressed by the modern phonetic alphabet.
