When Anthony first sets foot in the Caribbean in the aftermath of the Second World War, in search of a new life full of adventure and romance with his young wife, Henrietta, he is struck by the knowledge that what he has is probably all men's fantasy: a profitable family business, developments rooted in Caribbean history, and far more sunshine and clean air than he had in London. But even amidst this idyllic historical adventure filled with endless days of romance and sex, thrilling crime threatens the happiness of our new migr s. Eldred, a bent policeman involved in cocaine smuggling, has it out for Anthony, and what with the shifty real-estate tycoon Jeremy Firestone trying to muscle in on Anthony's family business, there seems nowhere left to turn. Anthony seeks refuge in a men's fantasy of romance and sex at a wife swapping club, but even as he realises this is not the answer, his disillusioned wife Henrietta has found adventure and romance with Yakatit, one of the most talented young musicians in Caribbean history. All this drama is set against a backdrop of upcoming governmental elections, which the drugs cartels are eager to subvert with their own agenda. When a dramatic crime gets pinned on Anthony, time is short to prove his innocence. Will the dastardly plans of Eldred and Jeremy Firestone be revealed? Or will Anthony's hopes of living a life of historical adventure come to an abrupt end? Check out the LOOK INSIDE FEATURE to find out.

The study of languages forms the foundation of any study of ancient societies. While we are dependent upon archaeology to unearth pottery, tools, buildings, and graves, it is through reading the documentary evidence that we learn the nuances of each culture--from receipts and letters to myths and legends. And the access to those documents comes only through the basic work of deciphering scripts, conjugating verbs, untangling syntax, and mastering vocabulary. Ancient Language Resources brings together some of the most significant reference works for the study of ancient languages, including grammars, dictionaries, and related materials. While most of the volumes will be reprints of classic works, we also intend to include new publications. The linguistic circle is widely drawn, encompassing Egyptian, Sumerian, Akkadian, Ugaritic, Phoenician, Hattic, Hittite (Nesite), Hurrian, Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac, Ethiopic, Arabic, Greek, Coptic, Latin, Mandaean, Armenian, and Gothic. It is the hope of the publishers that this will continue to encourage study of the ancient languages and keep the work of groundbreaking scholars accessible. --K. C. Hanson Series Editor
A Scientific Investigation of the Old Testament
Robert Dick Wilson
Solid Ground Christian Books
2007

This commentary on the Biblical Book of Daniel answers crucial questions about the significance of his prophecy, and of the culture he lived among. Not content with simply interpreting the prophecy of Daniel, Robert Dick Wilson delves into the social, historical and cultural aspects of ancient Babylonia. The significance of Nebuchadnezzar II in the story of Daniel, how his dreams were interpreted to become some of the most significant aspects of Old Testament prophecy, is discussed. Other chapters focus on the Chaldeans and their society, the opposition that Babylon had to Israel - Daniel himself being a captive Hebrew man, taken from his homeland as a child - and the possibility that Nebuchadnezzar was mentally ill. The allusions to the events at the King's court in the Book of Daniel are examined in detail, with conclusions drawn to the most reasonable extent possible. Certain elements of the story - such as Daniel being placed in a den of lions - are deemed to have been likely. The existence of vast prides of lions roaming the-then very fertile Euphrates plains, and the discovery of lion reliefs and sculpture in ancient Babylonian excavations, make a specially built den of lions a distinct possibility. Robert Dick Wilson was a linguist who studied the Bible. Fluent in Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic and other ancient tongues, his scholarly gifts were famous in his native Pennsylvania and beyond. Part of the Presbytarian movement, he spent most of his life seeking to prove the veracity and truth of the Biblical lore.
