A nameless barman tends a decaying bar in Hollywood and takes notes for a book about his clientele. Initially, he is morbidly amused by watching the regulars roll in and fall into their nightly oblivion, pitying them and their loneliness. In hopes of uncovering their secrets and motives, he establishes tentative friendships with them. He also knocks back pills indiscriminately and treats himself to gallons of Jameson's. But as his tenure at the bar continues, he begins to lose himself, trapped by addiction and indecision. When his wife leaves him, he embarks on a series of squalidly random sexual encounters and a downward spiral of self-damage and irrational violence. To cleanse himself and save his soul, he attempts to escape ...

Lucien (Lucy) Minor is the resident odd duck in the bucolic hamlet of Bury. Friendless and loveless, young and aimless, he is a compulsive liar and a melancholy weakling. When Lucy accepts employment assisting the majordomo of the remote, forbidding castle of the Baron Von Aux he meets thieves, madmen, aristocrats, and a puppy. He also meets Klara, a delicate beauty who is, unfortunately, already involved with an exceptionally handsome partisan soldier. Thus begins a tale of polite theft, bitter heartbreak, domestic mystery and cold-blooded murder in which every aspect of human behaviour is laid bare for our hero to observe. Lucy must stay safe, and protect his puppy, because someone or something is roaming the corridors of the castle late at night. Undermajordomo Minor is a triumphant ink-black comedy of manners by the Man Booker shortlisted author of The Sisters Brothers. It is an adventure story, and a mystery, and a searing portrayal of rural Alpine bad behaviour with a brandy tart, but above all it is a love story. And Lucy must be careful, for love is a violent thing.

Suicide

Suicide

Derek Beattie; Patrick Devitt

Liberties Press Ltd

In 2011, 525 people died by suicide in Ireland - an increase of 7 percent on the previous year. After these figures were published, the Minister for Health, Dr James Reilly, described suicide as "a tragedy that we are constantly working to prevent". Ireland, like most countries, has a national suicide prevention strategy, but there is scant evidence to support most of the initiatives set out in national suicide prevention strategies. In Suicide: A Modern Obsession, Dr. Pat Devitt and Derek Beattie explore suicide in different cultures and historical periods, survey various public-policy approaches to the subject (looking at what works and what doesn’t), investigate links between economic performance and suicide, and provide an in-depth examination of suicide prevention. They also look at the impact of media portrayals of suicide. Finally, they offer practical advice to those dealing with suicide and its aftermath.

This work is intended to be a devotional commentary useful in the preparation of sermon material. The author has spent most of his adult life in a pulpit ministry; he, generally understands the need of pastor's in considering their sermons and has attempted to meet that need. Dr. DeWitt, is a thoroughly trained theologian. However, since he has always worked a secular job while pastoring, he can present the Words of Life in words that consider the life of the reader. His work is non-technical to the extent that he is able to make it so. When it is necessary to use technical ("Church speak"), he will explain what is meant so that even the most untrained layman will be able to understand the words and meaning of the passage in question. The Book of Hebrews is concerned mainly with two objectives. First is the fact that the group which originally made the exodus were not allowed to enter into the Land of the Covenant. Is this an allegory suggesting that there are some who will follow the Lord but fail to reach Heaven? That subject matter is addressed. The other fact covered is that some were warned against departing from the faith. Does this suggest that salvation could be lost? Again, that subject is addressed. The eleventh chapter is often called, "The Hall of Fame of the Faith." But, it is easily seen that each of these persons were but fallible humans. One again, that subject is addressed in the commentary upon those verses. This work can easily be a valuable asset to anyone who is interested in taking a deeper look at the Words of God's inspired and preserved Words.

David I. Spanagel explores the origins of American geology and the culture that promoted it in nineteenth-century New York. Focusing on Amos Eaton, the educator and amateur scientist who founded the Rensselaer School, and DeWitt Clinton, the masterful politician who led the movement for the Erie Canal, Spanagel shows how a cluster of assumptions about the peculiar landscape and entrepreneurial spirit of New York came to define the Empire State. In so doing, he sheds light on a particularly innovative and fruitful period of interplay among science, politics, art, and literature in American history.
