Ever since the accident, ex-cop Tom Parsons's life has been crumbling around him: his marriage and career have fallen apart, his grown children barely speak to him, and he can't escape the dark thoughts plaguing his mind. Leaving the urban misery of Winnipeg, he tries to remake himself in the small lakeside town of Valhalla, with its picturesque winter landscape and promise as a "fisherman's paradise." As the locals make it clear that newcomers, especially ex-RCMP, are less than entirely welcome, he throws himself into repairing his run-down cabin. But Tom has barely settled in the town when he finds the body of a fifteen-year-old Indigenous girl on the beach, not far from his home. The police write off Angel's death as just another case of teenagers partying too hard. But the death haunts Tom, and he can't leave the case closed--something just doesn't add up. He begins visiting the locals, a mix of Icelandic eccentrics, drug dealers and other odd sorts you'd expect to find in an isolated town, seeking out Angel's story. With the entitled tourists with their yachts and the mysterious Odin group living up the lake, Valhalla is much more than it originally seemed. And as Tom peels off the layers, he hopes to expose the dark rot underneath. W.D. Valgardson's expert manipulation of metaphor and imagery brings a mythic scale to the murder mystery at the heart of In Valhalla's Shadows. He shapes a portrait of small-town living with frank depictions of post-traumatic stress, RCMP conduct, systemic racism and the real-life tragedies that are too often left unsolved.

W. D. Mahan investigates Roman, Greek and Jewish writings corresponding to the time of the death of Jesus Christ, including letters apparently written by Pontius Pilate; the Roman governor who sentenced the Son of God to death.This book combines translations to English of various ancient documents, which are purported to date to the time of the New Testament Gospels. These papers were discovered in the Turkish capital of Constantinople, and in the archives of the Vatican. The manuscripts were said to originate from the time of Tiberius Caesar, and include a long letter from Pontius Pilate to his superior, Emperor Tiberius of Rome - Pilate alludes to encountering a philosopher named Jesus, and relates the events that culminated in the death of Christ.In the modern day, scholars consider the Acta Pilate to date from a later time than the life of Jesus, with most agreeing that the 4th century AD is the probable period of origin. The Hillel letters also date from the 4th century, and offer an insightful history of the Sanhedrim rabbis who would gather in Israel to discuss spiritual matters at the time. Hillel comments on the relationship between God and the Jews, his insightful words shedding light on Judaic worship.

In 2002 and 2005, Menard Press published "Then and Now - Words in the Dark" and "From Now to Then", as the first two books of a three-part work-in-progress. "Boccaccio in Florence and Other Poems" is a selection from the on-going third instalment, "Opus 3". It is also intended as a book in itself with a structure differing from "Opus 3" as a whole. Whereas the latter, when completed, will be arranged thematically in three parts, dealing with the emotional/physical, ethical and spiritual life respectively, the order of the poems in the selection is more or less chronological - from "Boccaccio and the Dance of Death" to the present day. This arrangement offers the reader a historical preview of the three fundamental components or concerns of human life on which "Opus 3" is based, while exemplifying the various sorts of poetry and prose to be found in it.

Within each chapter, sections include an introduction, mechanisms, chemistries, applications, evaluations and troubleshooting. The book concludes with a chapter on the future trends in chemical finishing.Chemical finishing of textiles is an essential reference for all academic and industrial textile chemists and for those studying textile education programmes.
