The Beast with Seven Heads: An Improbable Sleuth Mystery

" 'The Beast with Seven Heads' is at times very exciting, at times very haunting, but never disappointing. . . . This book is a wonderful example of a deeply Catholic novel. The themes throughout are infused with a profound faith background and understanding of the world through a Catholic lens. . . . However, people from any faith background will find the novel entertaining and engaging" (Catholic Book Report). In 1970, at a community college near Pittsburgh, an imperious senior professor, Blake Douglas, is found dead in his office, killed by an injection of potassium cyanide into his carotid artery. By-the-book Detective Peters immediately suspects young assistant professor William Gavin of the murder because there was friction between him and the victim. To clear his name, the popular teacher is thrust into the role of amateur sleuth, and into an ambivalent association with the assiduous but unimaginative Peters - who, perplexed and uneasy with the academic's unorthodox mode of investigation, is none-the-less compelled to follow his canny leads. As the case unfolds, Gavin combines keen observation and inquiry with deft intuition to solve the crime, and in dramatic manner to deliver the unlikely killer. Gavin's investigation reveals, however, that the homicide is connected to a satanic cult practicing unspeakable rites. Within a few days of the crime's solution, Bill Gavin, his pregnant wife and three children, come under deadly attack. Gavin is thus compelled to renew and intensify his investigations, with Detective Peters still befuddled but now more earnestly cooperative. Through half a dozen deaths, two demonic manifestations, and several other harrowing episodes, Gavin penetrates and, in a sensational climax, uncovers the diabolical web of evil. Other characters substantially interacting with Gavin are forlorn photography instructor, Barry Kinder; officious college president, Dr. Marsh; flighty drama teacher, Mab Dubonnet; sensible novice attorney, Miss Mei Li; enigmatic dean, Emma Gray; shrewish secretary, Caly Tynan; sycophantic security guard, Travis Sweet; dubious student, Brooke Klein; loyal colleague, Salvador Amici; and Gavin's anguished but stalwart spouse, Grace. The story's action is paced and offset by scenes in Bill's philosophy class where ethical theories are discussed in commentary, as it were, upon the moral drama played out; by solitary moments when Bill Gavin contemplates the enigmatic, the insidious phenomena that assail him; by affectionate, pained, and humorous scenes in the Gavin home contrasting with the hellish events and persons with which Bill grapples. The events leading up to and occurring during the watershed year of 1970 - shocking assassinations, the Viet Nam War, urban riots, campus occupations, the Woodstock debauch - and the iconic songs, books, and figures of the time are meaningfully woven into the narrative to provide temporal coloration as well as cultural context for the moral tale that unfolds.
Harleen is a tough, outspoken, rebellious kid who lives in a ramshackle apartment above a karaoke cabaret owned by a drag queen named MAMA. Ever since Harleen's parents split, MAMA has been her only family. When the cabaret becomes the next victim in the wave of gentrification that's taking over the neighbourhood, Harleen gets mad. When Harleen decides to turn her anger into action, she is faced with two choices: join Ivy, who's campaigning to make the neighbourhood a better place to live, or join The Joker, who plans to take down Gotham one corporation at a time. Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass is at once a tale of the classic Harley readers know and love, and a heartfelt story about the choices teenagers make and how they can define--or destroy--their lives. This is the first title in DC's new line of original graphic novels for middle grade and young adult readers.

INCREASING PERSISTENCE "Of all the books addressing the puzzle of student success and persistence, I found this one to be the most helpful and believe it will be extremely useful to faculty and staff attempting to promote student success. The authors solidly ground their work in empirical research, and do a brilliant job providing both an overview of the relevant literature as well as research-based recommendations for intervention." ?GAIL HACKETT, PH.D., provost and executive vice chancellor for academic affairs; professor, counseling and educational psychology, University of Missouri, Kansas City Research indicates that approximately forty percent of all college students never earn a degree anywhere, any time in their lives. This fact has not changed since the middle of the 20th century. Written for practitioners and those who lead retention and persistence initiatives at both the institutional and public policy levels, Increasing Persistence offers a compendium on college student persistence that integrates concept, theory, and research with successful practice. It is anchored by the ACT's What Works in Student Retention (WWISR) survey of 1,100 colleges and universities, an important resource that contains insights on the causes of attrition and identifies retention interventions that are most likely to enhance student persistence.?? The authors focus on three essential conditions for student success: students must learn; students must be motivated, committed, engaged, and self-regulating; and students must connect with educational programs consistent with their interests and abilities. The authors offer a detailed discussion of the four interventions that research shows are the most effective for helping students persist and succeed: assessment and course placement, developmental education initiatives, academic advising, and student transition programming. Finally, they urge broadening the current retention construct, providing guidance to policy makers, campus leaders, and individuals on the contributions they can make to student success.
Dr. Niama Williams' Steven is a psychological triumph. This long overdue Song of Survival, punctuated by the cataclysmic overtures of epiphany, minimalist agreement, and happenstance, is proof that the arrival of the truth does not always come via verbal messenger. From the beginning with "Schindler's List," Dr. Williams asks the film's director to explain, "robbing a people of their origins." She poignantly points out that Middle Passage descendants live without a traceable identity and unlike the majority, "...cannot fabricate what was deliberately stamped out of existence." Dr. Williams' text provides a tracing of the indelible markings each of us makes on the other, and on the collective consciousness of American society.
His father abused his mother and he witnessed it. Sometimes as a 3 year old, he would hide in the closet, and cry while his daddy abused his mother.By the time he was 5 years old he had witnessed a neighbor enter his living room with a butcher knife protruding from her back. Her husband had stabbed her. Her husband had tried to pull the knife out of her back to stab her again, but the knife had gotten stuck between her rib bone. She was able to run for help while he went to get another knife. At 11 he watched a man chase his wife around their home shooting at her. She was able to make it into her home and blockade the door with her body, her husband shot her through the door. That same year "he" stood at the the threshold of his mother and fathers bedroom door with a knife in his right hand, confronting his father and prepared to kill him if he continued to assault his mother. "Take your mutha fucking hands off my mama " Those words should have never been spoken by a 11 year old boy.This book "Steven" represents the horrors of domestic violence.

Proceed with caution.
"Steven-A Runner's Life" is my first book and was inspired by being able to attend many of Steven's race events with my husband, Jay, and recording our experiences in my journal. This book includes several of Steven's own blog posts, posted on the Art of [email protected] These posts explain his motivation for trail running and his experiences at many of his races. Also it includes his discipline where he used a special diet, to avoid stomach cramps, and training habits that could be helpful to anyone involved in ultrarunning or ultra sports. (According to Wikipedia, an ultramarathon, also called ultra distance or ultra running, is any footrace longer than the traditional marathon length, which is 26.2 miles. In the last two years of Steven's training for the Ultra trail du Mont Blanc in Chamonix France, he bought and began renovating a cabin in Oregon. This book shows with muti-tasking, discipline and many prayers that all things are possible. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have enjoyed reliving our experiences.
