In the spring of 1939 as war clouds appear on the horizon, a young British Vicar on summer assignment to a church in a small town on the Connecticut shore introduces handsome Jewish, anti-war, recent Yale graduate Peter Stone who owns his own seaplane to stunning blonde, Protestant, co-ed Suzanne Taylor in a park across from his church. The son and daughter of rival New York banking families, both Peter and Suzanne immediately feel they have known the other before.What begins as a simple summer romance soon turns into something far greater, far beyond their control, and far deeper then anything they could have ever imagined. As their passion becomes almost overpowering, a dark fear envelopes Suzanne who feels that something once happened before with Peter. Her fear that something once happened before with Peter forms the core of The Vicar's Story setting in motion the terrible quest she and Peter must follow as they enter the eye of the storm.Through loss, discovery, and resolution, they realize they have loved the other in two previous lives - with each life ending in an identical tragedy. Through previous life regressions, they realize they have been repeating those lives, enabling them to finally release the karma they have carried for centuries, allowing them to achieve the union they have been denied for a millennium.
A Political History of Western Europe Since 1945
Taking a thematic approach, Derek Urwin addresses the major political and economic developments in western Europe since World War II, right up to the present day. The book covers issues and developments in national politics, and the movement towards greater unity in Western Europe and the role of Europe in global politics and in the international economy. The text has been revised throughout and updated to take account of the political consequences of the ending of the Cold War and the troubled progress of European integration since Maastricht. The Fifth Edition has lost nothing of its predecessor's clarity and accessibility and in its updated form will win the book a host of new admirers.

Beginning with a detailed description of the political and economic circumstances that allowed the 'Gothic Moment' to flourish, the body of the book is both a celebration of the Gothic cultural achievement - in cathedral-building, in manuscript illumination, in chivalric love-romance, in stained glass and in many other arts - and an investigation of its social origins and systems of production.

In this first biography in English for fifty years, Derek McKay avoids the limitation of seeing Frederick William primarily as precursor of the 'Enlightened' Frederick the Great. Instead, he roots him firmly in his own time, a dynastic, protestant ruler like many another in Germany, but gifted with the toughness and opportunism to overcome the hostility of his local nobilities and of the surrounding great powers.

Truth and lies are two sides of the same coin. But who's flipping it? A thought-provoking and brilliantly entertaining work of nonfiction from one of the world's leading deceivers, the creator and star of the astonishing theater show and film In & Of Itself. Derek DelGaudio believed he was a decent, honest man. But when irrefutable evidence to the contrary is found in an old journal, his memories are reawakened and Derek is forced to confront--and try to understand--his role in a significant act of deception from his past. Using his youthful notebook entries as a road map, Derek embarks on a soulful, often funny, sometimes dark journey, retracing the path that led him to a world populated by charlatans, card cheats, and con artists. As stories are peeled away and artifices are revealed, Derek examines the mystery behind his father's vanishing act, the secret he inherited from his mother, the obsession he developed with sleight of hand that shaped his future, and the affinity he felt for the professional swindlers who taught him how to deceive others. And once he finds himself working as a crooked dealer in a big-money Hollywood card game, Derek begins to question his own sense of morality, and discovers that even a master of deception can find himself trapped inside an illusion. A M O R A L M A N is a wildly engaging exploration of the fictions we live as truths. It is ultimately a book about the lies we tell ourselves and the realities we manufacture in others.

Most of the software on the market today was created by machines for machines—not for human beings. If we're to get human-centered software, we need a total revolution in software design. We need to overthrow the absolutistic, hierarchical, mechanistic, abstract and a-temporal software of the current marketplace.Battling for the soul of software designers today are two incompatible philosophies. One philosophy, which dominates today's industry, is absolutistic, hierarchical, mechanistic, a-temporal, abstract, atomistic, and centered on machines. The other philosophy is de-centralized, non-hierarchic, non-mechanical, temporal, concrete, organic, and human-centered. Which one will produce the software for your children and grandchildren?

Hauptmann Rolf Leutnart is a German staff officer with the famed Afrika Korps and is General Erwin Rommel’s favorite interpreter, fluent in Italian, French, and English. Leutnart is assigned as the primary translator for both Italian and German senior officers. While in Tunisia, Rolf meets and falls in love with Lorena Sebesta, an Italian Red Cross nurse. For her, however, the attraction is difficult, since she despises uniforms and especially Germans. However, the relationship grows and soon develops into a torrid love affair. Later, Rolf is approached by several shadowy figures, who hint at things more sinister and possibly supernatural in Rolf’s background. He is tied to a birthmark in the shape of a wolf’s head, a secret society known only as the Red Pyramid, and an ancient curse from Egypt that has awaited his arrival for 5,000 years. Here is a tale of love across time, challenged by the past, present and future. These characters interact amidst World War II, fighting for the Axis, the eventual losers of this terrible war. Yet they are human, caught up in the questions of right and wrong, evil faced off against good. The choices they make have personal and global impact.
