Former British Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown believes the international financial crisis can be reversed, but that the world's leaders must work together if we are to avoid a decade of lost jobs and low growth. Brown speaks both as someone who was in the room driving discussions that led to some crucial decisions, and as an expert renowned for his financial acumen. No one who had Brown's access has written about the crisis yet, and no one has written so convincingly about what the global community must do next in order to climb out of this abyss. As he sees it, the crisis was brought on not simply by technical failings, but by ethical failings too. He argues that markets need morals, and suggests that the only way to truly ensure that the world economy does not flounder again is to institute a banking constitution and a global growth plan.--From publisher description.

Ours is a nation in the grip of a strange kind of mania. Why after President Reagan was shot was there virtually no handgun legislation? Why after the Columbine massacre in Littleton, Colorado, was nothing done to regulate the tools that children most frequently use to kill one another? Why was there no legislative response after a six-year-old in Flint, Michigan, shot a classmate with a .32 caliber "pocket rocket"? Tragedy follows tragedy, with twelve children shot dead every day in America, but guns remain less regulated than automobiles. Why? As authors Peter Harry Brown and Daniel G. Abel in this powerful book demonstrate, it is because of the terrible power of the gun coalition. Outgunned begins with the story of Wendell Gauthier, the "master of disaster" attorney, who brought down the tobacco industry to the tune of billions and then turned his attention to guns. He struck fear into the hearts of the gun manufacturers as he set out to make gunmakers bear some liability for the killings caused by the often poorly made, inaccurate handguns they marketed to criminals. Coauthor Daniel G. Abel worked for Gauthier, along with other attorneys, as the gun-control campaign gathered momentum. This legal initiative seemed to be about to make history and change the face of violence in America, but sadly, Wendell Gauthier died of cancer before meaningful gun control could be established. More than thirty class-action suits against gun manufacturers now languish in courtroom paralysis while as many Saturday night specials as ever are being made. What happened? Brown and Abel demonstrate how the pro-gun forces once again curbed the will of a nation. This book shows the enomous power of the NRA -- how it killed pending legislation in Congress, hijacked the Campaign Act to fund the George W. Bush presidential election victory, and eviscerated the American Shooting Sports Council. That association and the gun manufacturers actually wanted to compromise and agree to new handgun laws, implicitly accepting some liability, but the NRA leadership, with Charlton Heston as their president, crushed them. In Outgunned, Brown and Abel uncover how NRA lobbyists were instrumental in stopping Smith & Wesson in its tracks. They show how the tendrils of the NRA reach into the Christian Alliance and Republican Party, and how men like John McCain have fought back and been undermined. Outgunned reveals how the NRA began dealing with President George W. Bush when he was still governor of Texas -- prodding him into signing a shocking prohibition against the kind of suits Gauthier brought against the gun manufacturers. Outgunned is the story of a legal crusade with up-close accounts of the people who fought every step of the way. For those who believe in the importance of stopping unnecessary bloodshed, this book is essential, powerful, and urgent.

Current scientific knowledge is frequently presented with a bias indicating science and religion are contradictory. This relatively recent phenomenon is despite widespread belief in a creator God being part of the history of humankind. With the incredible modern-era scientific advances, humans now seem determined to chase after and trust in material existence, simultaneously relegating God to an irrelevant status in relation to science. The Model of Everything-A Divine Universe presents a robust model, demonstrating there is no contradiction-the myth of contradiction is dispelled.To address this myth, the hypothesis that science and a belief in a creator God (as presented in the Bible) are entirely complementary and interdependent is presented. The hypothesis is defended via a model based on a creator God being fully compatible with and supported by valid science. The model demonstrates that science and religion are a continuum to understanding our material and immaterial existence-establishing a comprehensive and functional worldview. Our hypothesis''s underlying assumption is that if God created the universe, science should allow us to discern his presence in nature. Furthermore, in discerning his presence in nature, we see his grandeur, and he teaches us about our physical and spiritual existence.Using extraordinary-and sometimes bizarre-phenomena revealed through physics, a concept to account for humanity''s spiritual presence within the material world is developed. Notably, the concept identifies how humanity has a relationship with God-unleashing the potential for spiritual growth.With the model in hand, the reader-the most discerning "instrument" in existence-is equipped to test the model''s accuracy and relevance. A fundamental assumption is that humanity, as part of God''s created universe, is the critical factor in scientific discovery and, indeed, reality.With an understanding of the model, the reader gains a worldview that fully embraces science and religion and dispels the myth. They are not contradictory. The reader becomes the scientist and develops a formula for cherishing life as a creation of God, knowing their purpose and meaning in life, and believing in an existence beyond the material world.

Between 1963 and 1972 the two nations of India and Pakistan made a number of important governmental, political, economic, and cultural changes. They had to meet crises caused by forces of nature as well as crises originating in their own institutions. Democratic processes advanced in India; they were repudiated in Pakistan and the repudiation led to the civil war in East Pakistan and the creation of Bangladesh. W. Norman Brown covers all of this and more in his fresh look at the subcontinent.

                                           The Inspiration for the Beneath the Scar Movie!Samantha Nicole Allen is the beautiful Mississippi debutante and daughter of one of the town's most notable preachers. Who would ever think that she would find herself entangled in a trap that has the potential to cause her to lose her confidence, beauty, and more tragically, her life?Samantha's journey is reflective of the life of so many individuals who find themselves incapable of escaping the acts of domestic abuse. In the midst of her own trials, Samantha is awakened by the despair, tragedies, and strength of others who endured abuse. Samantha's story is told through her personal lens and demonstrates how quickly abuse can escalate from unnoticeably subtle to extremely severe."Due to the nature and difficult subject-matter Dr. Samone shares within these precious pages, this task was not an easy one; so I applaud her for taking this bold step. I also commend her for using a compassionate and compelling voice to bring creativity and light to a tough topic that no one likes to talk about. My prayer is that Beneath the Scar: Rise to Healing will not only be a blessing, but also an instrument of healing for the masses. Also, I hope that it will open up a dialogue that can be had in various forums from church groups to shelters to workshops across the country." ---Angie Ransome-Jones, Best-selling author of "Path to Peace""A powerful and gripping must read that sheds light on the reality of domestic abuse, and provides hope for those struggling within those dark walls!" ---Kyna Grigsby Eberhardt, Former News Anchor "An excellent read! Holding true to the pains of abuse; displaying consistent spiritual strength!" ---Paulette Moore Jones, creator of Cooking Chemistry, Gourmet Soule' Chef and Owner"An eye-opening look at diverse forms of domestic abuse that will indubitably lead to dialogues on procedures to help victims as well as abusers." ---Jai Nix, EducatorPremises and Reflections within the book were written to challenge others to consider the impact that domestic violence has on its victim, the victim's family and friends, as well as complete strangers.The sincere hope is that Beneath the Scar: Rise to Healing will spur groups of individuals to meet and discuss the epidemic of domestic violence and work to develop viable solutions to save lives and give victims another chance.
