    Eclectica Canticorum is a collection that marks a closing stage in James Wilson's experiment with a form of prose poetry, musical in its origins, that he has dubbed the divertissement. Short brooding texts, composed under the influence of selected songs, and taking no longer to read than the inspiring song's duration, are accompanied by photographic images that are themselves a response to the mysterious writing. Spanning a number of years, the pieces in this volume chart an evolution of an original form, at the same time obliquely documenting a turbulent period of a life punctuated by joy, love, loss and grief. Praise for James Wilson 'A writer perfectly attuned to the music of disappointment and the emptiness of crowded places'-John Muckle, Tears in the Fence 'The poet in Wilson is evident'-Leslie Raith, Curled up with A Good Book 'a sequence of searches...for what vanishes, for the transient and evanescent, the indeterminate and enigmatic'-Mike Freeman, The Literary London Journal 'Private and mysterious...the pieces read like moments snatchedfrom dreams'-Terry Pitts, Vertigo

    Maria began as a scientific experiment that artificially inseminated a modern human egg with the DNA of a frozen, supposedly three million year old Neanderthal man. The scientific community promptly mounted an attack against this child-of-another-species, whose very existence destroyed evolution.Maria set world records running against men in the Olympics, her blood can heal the greatest diseases facing modern Man, and no man can beat her in hand-to-hand combat.At the discovery of Maria's superhuman capabilities a terrorist group stole the iceman's still-frozen genetic material intending to create an army of super-soldiers. Maria trained with and joined a Special Forces team to reclaim her brothers and sisters growing in test tubes.In her now-open presentations to the scientific community, she stressed that a young-Earth view required a reassessment of the occurrence frequency of catastrophic events. A bold scientist hired her to monitor the lava shelf on Big Island to determine when it would break off sending a tsunami throughout the Pacific.Realizing the task was too great for her alone, she gathered her siblings back after 20 years, hosting a non-credentialed Creationist University on Big Island, but keeping their identity secret. Her family discovered that the lava shelf collapse was imminent, but they could not get past the scientific gatekeepers to warn the public.

    The tales, meditations and parables in this volume each centre in some way around an animal motif, raising questions about the mysterious forces we are subject to, and the ways in which we subject others to our own fears and desires. From short lyrical prose pieces about insects and birds, through dreamlike stories of talking whales and magical menageries, to passages resembling documentary of an overlooked or immaterial London existence, In cages, as in dreams is a collection that explores the prisons we can make of memory, grief, and the habits of our daily routines and modes of thinking. Written conjointly with Eclectica Canticorum, the two books are counterparts, enduring an oddly symbiotic relationship. Praise for James Wilson 'A writer perfectly attuned to the music of disappointment and the emptiness of crowded places'-John Muckle, Tears in the Fence 'The universal themes, the historical photos, the fine language... Savor this rare, truly creative work'-Leslie Raith, Curled up with A Good Book 'a sequence of searches...for what vanishes, for the transient and evanescent, the indeterminate and enigmatic'-Mike Freeman, The Literary London Journal 'Private and mysterious...the pieces read like moments snatchedfrom dreams'-Terry Pitts, Vertigo

    Originally compiled in 1903, this work represents the thoughts, reflections, and ideas concerning Masonic symbolism and philosophy of Dr. James Wilson, a physician and charter Worshipful Master of the first Masonic Lodge in Plano, Texas. It presents a fascinating glimpse into the nature of Freemasonry as practiced in Texas at the end of the 19th century. From the Author: "As the most fertile source of instruction in Freemasonry is to be found - alone - in its Traditions and Mythical Legends, which - symbolically - teach of the origin and design of Ancient Craft Masonry, I have collated from the most authentic authors what every Mason must know before he can have that high appreciation of our ancient and honorable order to which it is entitled, and which alone can make it as intelligent and interesting to him as it was designed and deserves to be."

    This book describes the background to and the development of the Nazi Party Rallies held at Nuremberg each September from 1933 to 1939. These Reichsparteitage (National Party Days) were vast and meticulously staged managed extravaganzas in which ritual and ceremony played an important part.The Rallies had two key objectives. The first was to focus public attention on the successes of the Nazi Party and connect with the public conscience and build a close bond between Party and people.Even more important was the Rallies role in presenting Adolf Hitler as the saviour of the German nation sent to restore national pride, power and prosperity after the shame and economic disaster of the post war years and the deeply resented Versailles Treaty. The Hitler Cult was blatantly promoted with revolutionary use of propaganda by the latest technology and iron control of the media.Using the authors superb collection of postcards and images, The Nazis Nuremberg Rallies takes the reader on a visual journey through each years Reichsparteitage. A truly fascinating way to understand this uniquely successful and threatening phenomena.

    Alex Kelly He is the star of a popular extreme travel show to the rest of the world, but to me, he is the persistent one.It all began with a regular high school crush that wasn't wholly unrequited on the older brother of my best friend.Just after high school, there was that incident where someone (not me) may or may not have thrown up all over someone else's c*ck. Then there was the event in Austin, which, let's just say, gave the word "bull-riding" a whole new meaning. Not to mention the minor issue with the rented car...

    Lord Denning was the most famous English judge of the twentieth century. Arguably, he was the most famous of any century. His judgments were legendary for both their style and substance. The style was instantly recognisable, with his short sentences and unique method of storytelling. The substance was always less about law and more about justice, as Denning looked for the fairest outcome to every case before him.Over time, Denning¿s views on justice and his manipulation of precedent became increasingly controversial. As society changed around him, headhered rigidly to the Edwardian morality of his childhood. His report on the Profumo Affair ¿ the most sensational political scandal of post-war Britain ¿ was dismissed by some as an `establishment whitewash¿. His rulings in trade union disputes earned him many critics, while his dismissal of the appeal of the `Birmingham Six¿ falsely convicted of a terrorist atrocity became notorious when a gross miscarriage of justice was later uncovered. Yet enough goodwill remained for him to be called after his death `the best-known and best-loved judge in the whole of our history¿ by the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Bingham. For all his controversies, there is no question that Denning led an extraordinary life. Born into a family of modest means in a small Hampshire town in 1899, he went on to gain two firsts from Oxford and a commission in the First World War, before becoming a successful barrister and serving almost 40 years as a senior judge. This book looks at that remarkable life story as well as assessing Denning¿s legacy, showing how he continues to influence, inspire and occasionally infuriate.
