Abused Men

“[This book] reads like 1,000 Dear Abby letters...fascinating...but it explains the many aspects of domestic violence. It has a wealth of material that could be helpful to professionals who deal with domestic violence.”–"Dear Abby" Abigail Van Buren
“I am grateful to Philip Cook for writing Abused Men. This is a brave book.... [The author] brings to bear in this book his knowledge as a journalist and his evident care and compassion for all victims of domestic violence.”–Erin Pizzey, Founder of Chiswick Women's Refuge, Author, Scream Quietly or the Neighbors Will Hear

My Name Is Legion

My name is legion is a collection of three stories: The Eve of RUMOKO, Kjwalll'kje'koothai'lll'kje'k and Home Is the Hangman. The stories revolve around a mercenary secret agent that has erased his identity and makes a living doing dangerous investigative jobs using fake names. He can basically assume any identity (legion -many names).

Principles of Project Finance

This introduction for practitioners offers a balanced view of project financing, integrating legal, contractual, scheduling, and other areas that participate in large multiparty projects, large single-asset purchases, and broad-based financing programs for fleets of assets. It mixes theories and case studies but avoids becoming too oriented toward applications in any one particular industry. It focuses on the concepts and techniques required by project finance people without being overly academic or beset by case studies. The author, who has a legal background, recognizes that some legal information is necessary, but he doesn't attempt to write a law book.

Coils

A new entity is being born. Its cells are microprocessors, its soul lives in data banks from Wall Street to Red Square. It is neither good nor evil. But it is very dangerous. The Angra Oil Corporation thinks it is just another resource to be used up....a story of a man and a woman trapped in the battle between a soulless corporation and the soul of a new machine.

The Black Throne

As children they met and built sand castles on a beach out of space and time: Edgar Perry, Little Annie, and Edgar Allan Poe.... Fifteen years later, Perry meets Annie again, all grown up and beautiful - and in the real world. She warns him of his mortal peril, then flees for Europe on a mysterious black ship.

Perry is recruited by a fabulously wealthy man to follow that ship to Europe where he meets the famed detective Auguste Dupin, has an encounter with a Maelstrom and a black raven, has a run in with a Pit and a Pendulum, and lives many more of the stories his alter ego, Edgar Allan Poe, wrote.
