Skin Game
The saga of Dark Angel continues!
Someone is killing normal humans in the fog-enshrouded city of Seattle. The murders are brutal and grisly, but inside Terminal City they barely cause a ripple of concern. The transgenics who live there have problems of their own. In an area under siege by the oppressive arm of the police, the transgenics must protect their fledgling colony against the outside world-a world that eyes them with contempt and suspicion . . . and will do anything to be rid of them.
You Never Give Me Your Money - The Battle For the Soul of the Beatles
Not so fab behind the scenes, this is the story of the famous four "from the heights of 1967, through the relentless decay of their final months, to the endless aftermath beyond". Doggett's obsession with the Beatles goes back to his childhood and their glory days. He presents a mass of detail about their music, individual characters, wives, lovers, friends, spiritual explorations, drug use and business dealings, in an engaging narrative. He treads carefully around thorny issues of love and money, yet paints a convincing picture of the relationship between Lennon and Yoko Ono and its impact on the financial and legal disputes which trailed success.
Not just rowboats but also sailboats, speedboats, paddleboats, and other nautical vehicles are the subject of this revision of the enduring sing-along for children who are taking their first steps toward literacy.
Defending Royal Supremacy and Discerning God's Will in Tudor England
Early modern governments constantly faced the challenge of reconciling their own authority with the will of God. Most acknowledged that an individual's first loyalty must be to God's law, but were understandably reluctant to allow this as an excuse to challenge their own powers where interpretations differed. As such, contemporaries gave much thought to how this potentially destabilising situation could be reconciled, preserving secular authority without compromising conscience. In this book, the particular relationship between the Tudor supremacy over the Church and the hermeneutics of discerning God's will is highlighted and explored.
Why are women more verbal than men? Why do women remember details of fights that men can't remember at all? Why do women tend to form deeper bonds with their female friends than men do with their male counterparts? Now, pioneering neuropsychiatrist Louann Brizendine, M.D., brings together the latest findings to show how the unique structure of the female brain determines how women think, what they value, how they communicate, and who they love. In The Female Brain, Dr. Brizendine distills all of her findings and the latest information from the scientific community in a highly accessible book that educates women about their unique brain/body/behavior.
