When he was appointed Edinburgh University’s first professor of medical oncology at the age of 33, John Smyth was already making a name for himself in the world of cancer research. Over the next three decades, he led the development of cancer medicine in Scotland, pushing ahead both research and education in the subject. In that time, he supervised the care of some 6,000 cancer patients, published more than 330 scientific papers and contributed to more than 40 books. Along with medicine, he has had a lifelong passion for both singing and flying light aircraft. While at Cambridge University, he was a founder-member of the Monteverdi Choir – widely held to be one of the finest chamber choirs in the world – and sang in it for 50 years. He lives in Edinburgh with his wife Ann, a professor of clinical psychology. Between them, they have four daughters and ten grandchildren.

Spenser Blake has a secret about an important early Christian theme: the Jesus-Lazarus affair. Listening to his inner voice, he decides to hire Shasta Garland, author of the popular Peaches Peoples detective novels, to write a story conveying his controversial interpretation of the idea. Douglas Balentine, renowned biblical scholar, employs Peaches Peoples Investigation Agency to recover a stolen ancient book, the 'Lazarus Gospel, ' which centers on the Jesus-Lazarus affair. As she searches for the missing manuscript, Peaches realizes she has lost contact with her basic self. Recovering the manuscript is entangled with finding the bedrock of her self-identity. Excelling at surfing cyberspace and psi-space without leaving any tracks, Raf Courbet and Sandra Kingfisher assist Peaches in her investigation of the stolen manuscript by gathering sensitive and limited access data. They also teach Peaches the best techniques to surf cyberspace and psi-space. Using a special cloaking device and her skill at remote viewing, Peaches recovers the stolen book from Marcus Scarpia, diabolical practitioner of dark magic. Spenser Blake's Secret is a provocative and wild ride through the bizarre entanglement of cyberspace and psi-space.

Birth of a Cemetery: Forest Lawn Memorial-Park

In Birth of a Cemetery, John F. Llewellyn reminds us that even supremely successful enterprises often emerge from chaotic beginnings. Llewellyn's book is essential reading for cemetery scholars and fans who want the inside story of how modern cemeteries develop, and the challenges they face. Llewellyn chronicles the mindboggling organizational drama from 1905 until the mid-1920s accompanying the founding of what was first called Forest Lawn Cemetery. While early American cemeteries were founded by faith-based organizations or public entities, by this time, cemeteries had become hybrid institutions, partly non-profit, partly profit. They exemplified the period's seemingly unlimited, and largely unregulated entrepreneurial spirit.Forest Lawn also mirrored the booming, racially divided city and suburbs of early 20th century Los Angeles. The cemetery's founders recognized the opportunity that growth represented, but had trouble settling on a management and sales program that would allow them to fully exploit it. Instead, they squabbled, backbit, and gossiped as they endlessly tried to find a system that would work, and time after time theirs produced more debt than profit.Some familiar faces in California history, Hubert Eaton, architect T. Paterson Ross, Motley Flint, the Glassell family, among others, populate the story. Many are civic leaders, while more than a few are scoundrels trying to figure out that most LA of pursuits, a quick success. Eventually, Hubert Eaton would take control, invent his version of the "memorial-park," and infuse the landscape with the values for which the institution became famous, middle class families, patriotism, and faith. Within a decade, as Llewellyn demonstrates in the final chapters, the newly christened Forest Lawn Memorial-Park would become the model for most cemeteries founded in the US.
