It is the Civil War and Colonel Michael Baker rules Fort Harmer. The old Fort, on the Delaware River a few miles south of Philadelphia, has been converted into a prison to hold captured Confederate soldiers. Baker is the commandant of Fort Harmer; he and his assistant, Major Jonathan Kelly, have turned the prison into their personal kingdom. Their tentacles reach far beyond Fort Harmer through a vast network of bribes, intimidation, murder, and corruption. But even Colonel Baker eventually goes too far and draws the attention of the War Department. In the summer of 1864, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton sends U.S. Army Major Thomas Lamond to Fort Harmer with orders to destroy Baker's corrupt empire. Lamond, a combat veteran battling demons of his own, arrives at Fort Harmer and finds himself overmatched by Baker and Kelly. Still, with the help of a Confederate sergeant being held prisoner, Lamond sets about bringing down Baker, Kelly, and their prison fortress in the swamps of the Delaware River.

True operational excellence is not about a method but a mindset . . . and a relentless pursuit of doing things better.

When we discuss accelerating top line growth and maximizing profitability, we often consider hiring more people, cutting expenses, or raising prices. What we should be doing is looking at different ways to effectively utilize what we already have. Rather than hiring new people, we need to improve the performance of our current employees. As an alternative to cutting costs, we need better invest the money we already spend. Instead of raising prices, identify ideal customers to market and sell to. This book will discuss strategies on how to do all of these things and more. The author provides 25 ways to accelerate revenue growth and increase profitability immediately, without making any new financial investments. That is the Unified Theory of Profitability. It means looking at the organization and finding ways to better leverage what already exists and focusing on the activities or changes that will provide optimal results. Readers will become experts on executing on these strategies. It can be done! Find the solutions that work, commit to implementing them and results will flourish.

4 Brothers (originally titled 1 Brother) is an excellent childhood memoir by Andrew Miller that has been cruelly sabotaged by his three brothers. It would have been a beautifully written, insightful and amusing account of growing up in Sydney through the 60's, 70's and 80's but instead has become a questionably written, argumentative, and occasionally vulgar piece which has somehow turned out to be wholly entertaining. Few memories are agreed upon, and many are strongly, if not hotly, debated. What is, superficially at least, a nostalgic and entertaining read, also turns out to be a valuable and penetrating look into character, birth order, parenting techniques, world views and obnoxious personalities - from four brothers who remember their childhood very differently, yet who at the same time remain the closest of friends and the loyalist of companions.

By the Costa Award-winning author of PURE, a stunning historical novel - the tale of a traumatised soldier on a journey in search of peace, which turns into a nail-biting hunt to the death.

God loves his children, blesses his own, rewards those who serve him, tells us to ask and receive, and heals those who believe. Really? Then why on earth am I lying in a hospital bed with cancer? So This Is Suffering... is a first-hand, real-time account of a battle with cancer over a three month period. Told with candor, insight and humour, the author shares a world of needles and nausea, fear and fatigue, and hospitals and bad haircuts. But it turns out there was more to it all. Much more. For the experience also opened up a rich world of Biblical understanding, ministry opportunities and most of all the reality of joy in even the most desperate circumstances.
