There was a great and terrible war between heroes. On one side, Superman and his Justice League with their allies in the Sinestro Corps, who sought to bring peace through absolute order. On the other side, Batman's army and the Green Lantern Corps. It ended with Superman, wielding a fear-powered yellow ring, murdering Black Canary while the world looked on. But Batman lived to fight another day... and Batman always has a backup plan. Only one force in the world can hurt a Kryptonian wielding a Sinestro Corps ring-magic. Now, with John Constantine seeking his own revenge against Superman, the sorcerer con man is helping Batman add the greatest magicians in the universe to his growing army. With the most powerful magic users in the universe on their side, Superman shouldn't stand a chance. And yet... something mysterious is protecting the Justice League. Something that wants to protect Superman's vision of a world under his control-and something deadly enough to kill some of the most powerful beings in the universe!

Advances in Overcoming Obesity: Is There a Future for Bariatric Surgery? by retired surgeon Tom Taylor comprehensively addresses many of the causes, complications, and treatments of obesity for the lay public. Despite billions of dollars per year being spent on diets, weight-reducing products, and techniques, few understand the fundamental nature of the problem, its complications, or the strategies available to overcome obesity. These challenges may recently have been radically changed with the emergence of new effective medications, not only for obesity, but for diabetes and other related health problems. Dr. Taylor tackles the issues of energy intake and expenditure, while describing in detail the most popular diets, such as the South Beach Diet and Weight Watchers. He also explores the psychological and physical constraints of losing weight, related socio-economic factors, and the different types of surgical treatments and their possible effects, outcomes, and complications. Although large amounts of weight can be lost following surgical treatment, for the first time ever, a group of drugs is now available that has been shown to also provide large weight loss, thereby presenting a challenge to surgical treatments.(About the Author)Dr. Tom Taylor has performed over 1,000 weight-loss surgical procedures, but was always concerned about the risks facing this vulnerable group of patients. There may now be alternative methods that are potentially safer than and as effective as major surgery.

Our American Cousin is a three-act play written by English playwright Tom Taylor. The play opened in London in 1858 but quickly made its way to the U.S. and premiered at Laura Keene¿s Theatre in New York City later that year. It remained popular in the U.S. and England for the next several decades. Its most notable claim to fame, however, is that it was the play U.S. President Abraham Lincoln was watching on April 14, 1865 when he was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, who used his knowledge of the script to shoot Lincoln during a more raucous scene.The play is a classic Victorian farce with a whole range of stereotyped characters, business, and many entrances and exits. The plot features a boorish but honest American cousin who travels to the aristocratic English countryside to claim his inheritance, and then quickly becomes swept up in the family¿s affairs. An inevitable rescue of the family¿s fortunes and of the various damsels in distress ensues.Our American Cousin was originally written as a farce for an English audience, with the laughs coming mostly at the expense of the naive American character. But after it moved to the U.S. it was eventually recast as a comedy where English caricatures like the pompous Lord Dundreary soon became the primary source of hilarity. This early version, published in 1869, contains fewer of that character¿s nonsensical adages, which soon came to be known as ¿Dundrearyisms,¿ and for which the play eventually gained much of its popular appeal.
