FLANDITA label Billor has fled for the last ten years. Flandism is the most radical and rigid sect of Monidism, a sect that sometimes alienates its followers like Billor or angered kings like Merkvor.Billor and four others are recruited by King Merkvor to find Weslin, the major city of Flandism, so that the king can destroy it with the huge army he has gathered.The king appoints Billor as the leader of this diverse group: Lorbon, an expert in weapons of the past and an advocate against all religious intolerance; Margona, the guide and a seeker of laws eternal; Allon, a devout Miltar belonging to a radical religious sect that opposes Monidism and believes that spreading the word through holy war is just and proper; and Helen, a fighter of few words who lets others lead until their goal of finding Weslin is threatened.These five journey through dangerous lands in which others will kill them if their fellow party members don't first. As they travel, each meets his or her own spiritual fate, and Billor discovers there is more to God and the world than he learned in Flandism.

They Play, You Pay

They Play, You Pay

James T. Bennett

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2012

They Play, You Pay is a detailed, sometimes irreverent look at a political conundrum: despite evidence that publicly funded ballparks, stadiums, and arenas do not generate net economic growth, governments keep on taxing sales, restaurant patrons, renters of automobiles, and hotel visitors in order to build ever more elaborate cathedrals of professional sport—often in order to satisfy an owner who has threatened to move his team to greener, more subsidy-happy, pastures. This book is a sweeping survey of the literature in the field, the history of such subsidies, the politics of stadium construction and franchise movement, and the prospects for a re-priva­ti­zation of ballpark and stadium financing. It ties together disparate strands in a fascinating story, examining the often colorful cases through which governments became involved in sports. These range from the well-known to the obscure—from Yankee Stadium and the Astrodome to the Brooklyn Dodgers’ move to Los Angeles (to a privately built ballpark constructed upon land that had been seized via eminent domain from a mostly Mexican-American population) to such arrant giveaways as Cowboys Stadium. It examines alternatives that might lessen the pressure for public subsidies, whether the Green Bay Packers model (in which the team’s owners are local stockholders) or via league expan­sions. It also takes a look at little-known, yet significant, episodes such as President Theodore Roosevelt’s intervention in the collegiate football crisis of 1905—a move that indirectly put the federal government on the side of such basic rule changes as the legalization of the forward pass. They Play, You Play is a fresh look at a political and economic puzzle: how it came to be that Joe and Jane Sixpack in the Bronx and Dallas subsidize the Steinbrenners and Jerry Joneses of professional sport.

Environmental Impact Analysis

Environmental Impact Analysis

James T. Maughan

CRC Press Inc
2013
sidottu
There are thousands of environmental analyses prepared each year to meet the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and similar programs. Written by an expert with 35 years of experience in environmental consulting, research, and education, Environmental Impact Analysis: Process and Methods makes the preparation of EIAs not only easier but more thorough. It provides a guide to successfully preparing analyses that are legally defensible; establish the base for environmental protection; and produce better projects, plans, and policies. Following an informal description of the legal requirements, the book breaks down the analysis process into a logical flow of steps and available methods to identify impacts, compare alternatives, and develop impact mitigation measures. The author illustrates each step and analysis method with examples from case studies he managed, providing insight not available from an independent review of the cases. He offers a comprehensive and consistent approach to analysis with each chapter building on information presented in previous sections. The book also describes methods from other programs such as hazardous waste clean-up and Natural Resources Damage Assessment and explains how they can be adapted for use in environmental impact analysis. It compares a diverse array of multi-level environmental impact analysis approaches. Readers learn not only how to produce an environmental document that meets regulations but also clearly maximizes the benefits of the analysis and results in a more useful product with strong stakeholder support.

365 Ways to Say Goodnight

365 Ways to Say Goodnight

James T. Knight

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

Goodnight is a story about unrequited love between a passionate older man and a much younger woman, and his expression of that love through 365 ways of saying goodnight to her. It's about: -a man not being afraid to express his love using language looked upon today as effeminate, unmanly, and out of touch with the modern world and its values, because he believes it is the most romantic way to communicate the poetry and magic of love. -the author's plea to other men to not be afraid of using that kind of language to "woo" the woman they love and need; and for women to realize that romance is not dead, if they allow it to happen and have enough of the awareness of self to accept and nurture it. -the courage and deliberate will of a man to love someone that he knows will never love him back the same way, but who does so because he believes it's better to experience the pain of love than not being able to love at all. -the ignorance and naivety of a woman who has real love thrown in her lap, and has complete disdain for it because she believes love and romance is just an unattainable fantasy, and is a waste of precious time and energy. -a woman's loss of the possibilities of real happiness because of her own inability to recognize what "it" is all about.....and that by the time she learns....it's too late. The reader will see all of the warning signs the lead character does not see that indicate impending disaster, until the reality of it hits him all at once and drives him to the edge of reason, and forces him too make the determination that he must finally say goodbye. Goodnight is both a story and a guide. Much of the language used in the book can help add color and passion into your own relationship, and gives you the words to show your lover how and what you feel about them, and why... When I first started writing this book, I had this notion that it would have the single purpose of providing 365 individual romantic ways to say goodnight to your special love: One for every night of the year. People I talked to about the concept thought it was a great idea, and that maybe it would help bring romance back...... I hadn't realized Romance had died So it became a noble quest....I single handedly was going to bring romance back into all of our lives..... By the time I got to the 20th night, I realized that the concept was OK, but it lacked the spirit of romance.....These goodnights had to have some substance to them...a soul....they had to be directed to somebody by somebody....or there would be no real feeling to them....just a cookbook of goodnight wishes. So, I created an underlying love story about unrequited love ....because all love, at one time or another, is unrequited; and it is during those times in a relationship when the most passion erupts, and the poetry and madness of love prevails....ultimately leading to one of two paths.....a much stronger relationship....or the death of one. I added even more wood to the fire by making it a relationship between an older man and a much younger woman. I have tried to capture that peak passion in each of these goodnights, as well as the unpredictability and volatility of love. The reader will find variations of goodnights throughout the emotional spectrum...profound affection, fear, happiness, sorrow, joy, anger, gentleness, distrust, hopefulness, etc. ....because real love is a bumpy road at best.....but the adventure of love can not be matched by any other....and romance is the vehicle that moves us on that journey and adventure. It is my hope that the reader will feel the emotions of these goodnights, and perhaps use some of them in their own relationships. There are no rules here, when it comes to expressing your love, especially at the end of the day when the opportunity for closeness and affection is a given. Don't be afraid of love and roman
