Many of Tony Blair's policy decisions in the Israeli-Palestinian arena were controversial and politically costly. Blair, Labour and Palestine argues that gaps between him and much of his party were rooted in different world views. A positive attitude towards Israel came to be seen as a defining mark of New Labour loyalists. However, contrasting views among left-leaning strands in the party reflected a broader set of ideological rifts. Such differences became increasingly significant in the wake of 9/11 as British policymakers sought to understand and respond to Islamic anger against the West. Based on interviews conducted by the author and on previously unseen documents, this unique case study shows how the distinctive world view of a political leader defined foreign policy, by shaping Britain's response to Islamist violence and its interconnected approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Author Toby Greene also examines the extent to which ministers and officials considered shifting foreign policy in response to fears of Islamist radicalisation in the UK, and Blair's role in stopping this trend, especially after the 7/7 bombings.
Claude Rains was "the greatest character actor of his age - possiblyof all ages," according to film historian Richard Schickel. Classic credits include The Invisible Man, The Adventures of Robin Hood, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Now, Voyager, Casablanca, Notorious and Lawrence of Arabia. A stage star in his native England, Rains didn't make his screen debut until age 43. Throughout his career, he hid behind a movie persona that was suave and sophisticated, but off camera he was insecure and had trouble expressing feelings. Good-natured, still he had few friends and was married six times. A proud naturalized American, Victorian values led him to repudiate Tinsel Town - he was happiest puttering around the 18th-century Pennsylvania farm that was his heart and soul. As a teenager, Toby Cohen was thrilled to meet her screen idol backstage after his Broadway triumph. Based on her decades of research and exclusive interviews - with Rains' fifth wife, his sixth wife's children and nephews, his farm neighbors, the doctor who treated him in his final illness - Ms. Cohen has produced not just a biography, but an in-depth, compassionate analysis of a complicated man whose true self was "invisible" to all. With never-before-published candid photographs.

By turns romantic and disquieting, Toby Olson's Walking weaves the real and the imagined into a chilling, occasionally hopeful tapestry. Set on an imaginary peninsula on the New England coast, Walking presents a lyrical, nightmarish, and unexpected world, replete with ski mountains, flocks of sheep, and a weeklong Day of the Dead festival. In the midst of this strange place lives Aphrodite, a woman raised by a disturbing father whose gaze seemed to follow her everywhere. Now an adult, Aphrodite is always walking, still trying to escape his stare.An unstable narrator, Aphrodite plunges readers into a story where the characters she imagines blend seamlessly with a real world beyond her control. As the peninsula's idiosyncratic citizens converge for the Day of the Dead celebrations, the connections between their lives and Aphrodite's father slowly become clear. And when her father appears, he sets in motion a terrifying chain of events that force each character to face demons from their past and to decide what kind of future they want to live in.

Sneering at the decadence surrounding him in The City of Angels, the raging black storm outside reflects the mood of Michael Hitchings inside. He is preparing to execute the final stages of his masterful plan, vowing "There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed. There is nothing secret that will not come to light." Across town, FBI Special Agent Harrison Carter is determined to prove his worth, not only to himself and his superiors, but to his physician father whose impossible standards he feels he can never meet. As a series of historically famous murders are duplicated with meticulous accuracy, US President Jameson Mitchell prepares to replicate former President John F. Kennedy's fatal drive through Dallas. First Lady Pat Mitchell is strongly against the idea, but the President sees it as a symbolic reunification of his country. As intelligent and as sharply focused as Agent Carter is, the killer he tracks continues taunting the FBI with his codes and riddles, always staying one step ahead. Worse still, the FBI begins to wonder if he is securing information from someone within the agency. Only once the killer's identity is discovered does Harrison realize the hatred Hitchings has for the church. What is his end game? Where is he leading them? Could his ultimate target be the President of the United States? Or is there an even more intricate and insidious secret yet to be revealed? This elaborate and well researched edge of your seat thriller conceived by Toby Dow in his debut novel and masterfully woven by award winning author Caron Tate is the first ever collaboration by these two great minds. This suspenseful story, riddled with misdirection, is impossible to put down and brilliant in its execution.

String theorists have pursued a mathematical model of the universe that can neither be verified nor visualized. It is a theoretical construct with multiple dimensions, eleven at least, that has reached a dead end. This book offers another path to string theorists that starts with an analog model that can be visualized and tested against existing scientific theories and observations. From six basic assumptions or axioms, the author demonstrates how all matter was created and how all forces that have been detected by physicists and cosmologists can be explained. In testing these theories against the theories and observations of past chemists, physicists, and astronomers, no anomalies have been encountered. To the contrary, the new paradigm that has been offered for the structure of the atomic realm provides new insights in the such esoteric concepts as anti-matter and dark matter. For cosmologists, new insights into the mystery of the Big Bang and the "Inflationary Period", as well as Dark Energy and the constancy of the speed of light have been made possible by this new model of the atom.Most importantly, this new model offers a path to a Unified Field Theory that has been sought by all physicists for over 100 years. The four forces in the universe that have so far been defined by physicists can be shown to be just four manifestations of but one force. This result was the initial reason for pursuing this subject; all the other scientific insights described in the preceding paragraph came our of the due diligence review process.

This book explores why police background characteristics and occupational attitudes matter, and how they affect officers, policing, and citizen engagement.Bridging sociology, criminology, and organizational psychology, this book offers a timely, research-driven analysis of how police officers’ background characteristics and occupational attitudes shape recruitment, behavior, and public engagement. With a focus on education, gender, diversity, and institutional bias, Miles-Johnson provides critical insights into the internal dynamics of policing and their broader implications for citizen trust and professionalism. Essential for scholars and students of policing, criminal justice, and public administration, this book challenges conventional approaches to officer performance and retention by emphasizing the complex interplay between individual traits and institutional culture.

* FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION and DEBUT FICTION * FINALIST FOR THE SAMI ROHR PRIZE * A "magnificent" (The New York Times), chilling, and unforgettable story of a close-knit British Jewish family pushed to the brink when they suspect their daughter is a witch. Hannah and Eric Rosenthal are devout Jews living in North London with their three children and Eric's father Yosef, a Holocaust survivor. Both intellectually gifted and deeply unconventional, the Rosenthals believe in the literal truth of the Old Testament and in the presence of God (and evil) in daily life. As Hannah prepares to publish an account of Yosef's years in war-torn Europe--unearthing a terrible secret from his time in the camps--Elsie, her perfect daughter, starts to come undone. And then, in the wake of Yosef's death, she disappears. When she returns, just as mysteriously as she left, she is altered in disturbing ways. Witnessing the complete transformation of her daughter, Hannah begins to suspect that Elsie has delved too deep into the labyrinths of Jewish mysticism and gotten lost among shadows. But for Elsie's brother Tovyah, the truth is much simpler: his sister is the product of a dysfunctional family, obsessed with rituals, traditions, and unbridled ambition. But who is right? Is religion the cure for the disease or the disease itself? And how can they stop the darkness from engulfing Elsie completely? Bristling with the energy of a great campus novel and the unsettling, ever-shifting ground of a great horror tale, Fervor is a powerful family story--and "fans of Isaac Bashevis Singer and Stephen King alike will thrill to this superb modern folk tale" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Sometimes magic and spiritism can be one in the same. Luci Lin, an unwanted child discarded at the river's edge by an uncaring father and a mother too filled with fear to object finds life despite the callous heart that conceived her. The magic is the childless couple out for a morning stroll along the river's edge being led by a butterfly to a newborn baby rolled up in rags laid in a bush near the river's edge as an offering to a voracious reptile. The spiritism is the belief in the one true God and that the butterfly was one of his angels sent to watch over that child. From that day forward the insect would watch over and protect the child it rescued at the river's edge.
