"Whether dealing with Greek gods, kings, politicians, terrorists, or capitalists, 19 Women explores the ability and power to take by force that which is desired. Man 'treats the world like firewood' and insists 'I will have what I came for'. Violence and greed are softened by moments of jewelled beauty where 'all your lovers' hearts are garnets, strewn' and 'emeralds are embedded in walls, like [...] eyes'. Peter Clive's collection asks the reader to look unflinchingly at patriarchy."(Morag Anderson, 2023 Aryamati Pamphlet Winner)"A book like nothing I have read before. A book about women, but not in the way one might imagine. It features goddesses and real people, ekphrastic poetry and poetry prompted by newspaper headlines. A true celebration of women." (Fin Hall, poet, producer, filmmaker, performer)"Real things and things of the mind: all dealt with via a trenchant, tender voice that ought to strike a chord with anyone accustomed to the joys of poetry."(Professor Gerard Carruthers FRSE, Francis Hutcheson Chair of Scottish Literature, University of Glasgow)

This book is a biography of my father, Albert Solberg (1903-1996). He was born in Norway, joined the Norwegian merchant marine at eighteen, and came to the United States in 1924. He endured personal tragedy and a half-dozen brushes with death, but also had some amazing experiences in places like India, Samoa, and South America. Later, he worked as a yacht crewman on the Great Lakes. After settling in New York City, he married in 1933. He and his wife of 63 years raised six children, and he lived to the age of 92. This is a story about adventure, hard work, and family--how an immigrant carved out a piece of the American Dream. All readers have known someone like Albert, who came to America with nothing and created a good life in a new land.

A comparison between Earth's cyclical and balanced processes before and after the introduction of humans is made. An analysis of the attempts of the civilized to understand Nature and their eventual turning away from it to construct a reality of their own. This alternate reality is examined through economics, culture, and scientific lenses and their effects on the Earth and its inhabitants. The future is contemplated for humanity and the planet in light of current climatic and other worldwide events such as global warming and depletion of water resources to name just two of many. "How to Avoid Going Down the Toilet" pleads for a change in our attitude toward Nature because it is the final authority on how things work on our planet. The Only Alternative to our current way of life is introduced in Five action steps achievable in our lifetime.
In volume I of the Blind Century Professor Hoggan primarily looked at the rise of America and her messianic illusions of Manifest Destiny which included not only subjugating the American continent, but all of South America and ultimately the world - a fulfilled Manifest Destiny under which we now live in this 21st Century.The 20th Century - the "American Century" - is a result of this messianic drive, and the consequences for Europe were devastating. Europe is the cradle of our Indo-European peoples and of Western Christian Civilization, and the centrality of all that entails. The rise of messianic America, and then of the USSR resulted in the destruction of the heartlands of our civilization, culture, and science. Some of his prophecies have not yet happened, such as the collapse of the United States - because of the destruction of the dollar, her demographics and ethnic constituency - but are looming on the horizon. Indeed the U.S. has somewhat reinvented itself several times to maintain her power and prestige, particularly after causing the collapse of her long-time ally and some-time enemy, the Soviet Union, but the massive debt bomb in ticking and the world is becoming restless. How long the juggling continue, no one knows. Certainly not forever as we balance on the precipice of World War III with a revanchist Russia now being fought in Ukraine as an American and NATO proxy war.Hoggan writes in favor of a revived Europe which he hopes will be able to eventually throw off American (and Russian) rule and reestablish herself as the Center of a renewed and re-enheartened Western Civilization and Christendom.

Instead, when tested on a few human subjects, the discovery reacts, turning them into cruel, bloodthirsty murderers.

This book was transcribed from the newspaper novel written in 1916, and is being presented for the first time in book form as a companion to the new Blu-Ray restoration.

The book is both earthy and heavenly. It is earthy as it deals with the pain, upheavals, disappointments, sickness, bereavement, challenges, and humanity that confronts a minister in his call to love and care for his congregation/community as well as his own personal challenges in carrying out the mandate of the gospel; the mandate in caring and shepherding the flock God has placed in his care, but also in fulfilling the Divine Commission to "go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature...."
All too often Jesus is presented as a weakling, a tender man without strength, or as Jesus our lover. These dishonor the historic Jesus who was extremely masculine, who fought against the Pharisees, drove out the money changers from the temple using a whip, overturning their tables.This Jesus is far too violent for the effeminate Christianity of today. Thus, he had to be toned down, to become someone who would not give offense to anyone. And then churches wonder why young men are leaving en masse.When our European ancestors converted to the Faith of Christ it was because they recognized his manly virtures in eschewing death, and boldly presently his message of the Kingdom, the Gospel, without fear or favor.This is the Christ that Fr. Haeuser, a biblical scholar and pastor, brings back to life before us. He speaks of those mysterious words of Christ about leaving house and family, forsaking all, and shows the proper context for understanding Christ's mission as the Warrior Son of God.Christianity is not a religion of death and sin, it is a manly faith which urges us onward to establish the rule and reign of Christ the King in order to fulfill our divine destiny

The stories are captured exactly as they were written.Thomas Herber Lindsey was born in Durham, NC on March 9, 1878, and was the fourth of eight children of John Monroe and Nancy Catherine (Morris) Lindsey.

For me, it was no curse to be an eternal realistic optimist for the people. Hence, my choice to become part of the resolution of rural care delivery than seeing poor farmers suffer from biennial rural healthcare delivery neglect. Pioneers of change face untold difficulties until day society come to realization of the vision of the sage. Their path is normally strewn with social thorns and boulders of all sizes amid challenging public resistance one never dreamt. My singular view of life was predicated upon making dream Manding Medical Centre a reality for villagers. Confidence and optimism saw me through all of challenges on my path to success. Fanatical or not I remained resolutely firm to bringing medical care to and relief to rural Gambia. Some saw me as an indefatigable, relentless dreamer there-ever was in Lower Badibou district's limelight. Fate of family I met in 1956, going to seek medical aid from the Kerewan Health Centre stocked and became the only thought and desire in me to relief other families from experiencing such an unwarranted loss and pain, for lack of trained medical personnel, drugs, and equipment. HOWEVER, THIS WORK IS ABOUT GRANDPA BAJOJA CEESAY'S LIFE AND HISTORY. I write to raise money for the building of a village hospital at Njawara, the Gambia. It is my hope that you would be inspired to join our dream of providing medical aid and service to villagers and children. Purchasing the book or donating in cash or kind would help bring our dream to fruition of a much-needed healthcare delivery and hope to villagers, especially children who frequently die prematurely from childhood diseases because of lack of medical service. Together we can catch a dream for the villager and children.
