Mary's Testament of the Nativity and the Destiny of John the Baptist
The interwoven story of two births - those of John the Baptist and of Jesus of Nazareth - is a story that appears in the first chapter of Luke's Gospel as (apparently) Mary's account in a single narrative, bound together by the visitation of the Angel Gabriel to two different homes, first in Judea, then six months later in Galilee. Of course the two lives interwoven were not of equal status. John the Baptist, born of an earthly father was to be the 'herald' of the Messianic King and to 'prepare the way' for him. But Jesus Christ, born of a Heavenly Father, was the child 'born to be King' in fulfilment of the Law and the Prophets. "Mary's Testament" is the nativity story of both births as told by Mary. In this book the author unravels the Biblical record in detail, exploring the prophetic connections between the two births and the two ministries with dramatic effect.

The Christmas Nativity 'event' - the first 'advent' of Jesus Christ - is really a merged story from the Bible of two separate accounts. Joseph and Mary were the two eye-witnesses, and each tell their half of the story separately: Mary in Luke's Gospel with the stable birth and the visit of the Shepherds; Joseph in Matthew's Gospel with the star in the East and the visit of the Wise Men. "Joseph's Testament" is the nativity story as told by Joseph. In this book the author unravels the Biblical record in detail, exploring the connections, prophesies, deeper meanings and the historical and Biblical contexts with dramatic effect.

The Claw, tough as old boots, was hanging on to its identity with stubborn pride. It had to do so, for of all of the inner-city districts in Bigganreek, it was the prime target for redevelopment. But this hard-nosed Ulster-Scots community had a soft centre.Jack M'Clean was not struggling to escape from the Claw. But he lost his first job, and then his first girlfriend, and still he tried to find real meaning to life among his "ain folk". If he was lucky, he might just find another steady love too.Eventually, he found both after an unsettling move to the Newbiggins housing estate, but in a very, very unexpected way.This partly surreal, partly satirical novel has been written by Philip Robinson as a companion to his Wake the Tribe o Dan. By way of contrast, this humorous fantasy portrays a different Ulster-Scots culture. It is aggressively urban, anti-authoritarian and male-centred. Jack M'Clean's personal story reflects the tragic demise of his own working-class community. And his hopes and dreams were simply those of the better life promised to thousands of others reared in The Back Streets o the Claw.

Perspectives on the Sociology of Education
First published in 1981, this book provides a basic introduction to the sociology of education. It brings together many of the principal arguments in order to help the student reach an understanding of the multitude of conflicting opinions, theoretical positions and biases within the field. The work considers the structures within which the child, the family and the classroom are located, focusing on the theory and the ways in which they can be used to explain the workings of the educational system. It introduces not only the work of classical educational sociologists such as Durkheim, Weber and Marx, but also more recent scholars such as Halsey, Becker and Althusser. With a global coverage, the book emphasizes the implications of the developments of the sociology of education for educational policy.

Author Philip Robinson blends reality with a dose of the outlandish in this fast-paced thriller: Kraken Corporation is too big to fail…or control. Spreading its tentacles into every profit centre around the globe—oil, gold, diamonds—it takes what it wants and leaves behind a path of death and destruction. When Emma Baine, heir to Kraken, publicly announces her intention to end the corporation’s history of profiteering, murder, and monopoly, a bomb explodes on the rostrum, killing her instantly. To her brother Carson, it’s the perfect punch line to Emma’s childish statement. He took out his sister, and now he’s going to take over the firm. Using Kraken’s “private security force,” a mercenary army that rolls over every obstacle to profitability, and the USS Alcatraz, an old Russian nuclear sub retrofitted into a gargantuan underwater prison, Carson imprisons everyone he perceives as an enemy—while the highest figures in government turn a blind eye. But there’s one obstacle Carson can’t grind under his heel: an ex-Marine named Vaughan. As Emma’s former lover and bodyguard, Vaughn is tough, smart…and very angry.
