Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amanda Childs, Mainville attorney and organist at St. Catherine's Episcopal Church, was happy. Exonerated of charges of federal criminal conspiracy, embezzlement and money laundering, she has just become engaged to Jon Connor, the FBI agent who was investigating the case. Her friend and law partner Ralph Carmichael is getting married. However, just as things seem to be going so well, she is felled with the news that William Barnes, Sr., the head of the conspiracy that took the life of her husband Andrew and almost cost hers as well, is fighting the charges, and intends as his defense to again pin the blame upon her. She renounces her engagement, despite Jon's protests, to keep Connor's integrity intact. She informs him that his credibility on the stand would be tainted if the jury is informed he is dating and engaged to the former prime suspect in the case. She painfully resolves, for the sake of Andy's memory, that nothing will hinder the prosecution and conviction of Barnes. In the meantime an old childhood friend faces charges that he murdered his wife. Amanda steps in to defend her friend, and in so doing is thrown in constant close proximity with another lifelong friend. The contact resurrects old memories and repressed feelings between them. While still reeling about the revelations of her own paternity, Amanda suddenly learns that her deceased husband Andrew's past is shrouded in mystery. All her past doubts about Andrew's love for her are revisited, when it is learned that he kept certain personal matters secret from her. In the meantime she is being shadowed, and is accosted by a newspaper reporter about to leak the story of Andrew's famous father. Just as Amanda seemingly sees light at the end of the tunnel and makes crucial decisions regarding her future happiness, she is mired in suspicion of murder. The evidence clearly points to her as the perpetrator. Her liberty and very life become in jeopardy, and she must rely upon others to try to save her from impending doom.

Download or read book The Connors' Crisis written by G.K. Sutton and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-05-17 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amanda Childs and Jon Connor have made it to the altar, and are settling into a cozy life in Mainville. However, their married life starts out rocky, with Amanda’s injuries from the accident causing health complications. Amanda and Jon find themselves dealing with a plethora of family issues, Amanda trying to win the approval of Jon’s family, to make peace with Andrew’s father, the powerful Senator Thomas Whitmore, and to maintain a relationship with her own brother Jeff. Jon is transitioning from the FBI into a career as an attorney in private practice. He is approached by Stephen Marks, the former Bishop of the Episcopal diocese and Amanda’s real father, disclosing a surprising turn of events and seeking Jon’s assistance in filing a probate and guardianship action involving the late Billy Barnes. In the meantime life in Mainville is changing. Dr. Howells has a scare with a heart attack. Both Charlie and Ralph are soon to be fathers. Ralph is putting his name up for the county judge vacancy, and Charlie has already qualified to run for sheriff. Amanda is surprised when she is approached by Esme Townsend, a wealthy and influential local woman, about applying for the judgeship. She declines, determined to support Ralph and to champion Charlie’s appointment for sheriff when the incumbent died. Out of the blue a dark-haired, dark-eyed beautiful woman shows up, a lobbyist promising Ralph her assistance in his bid for judge. The woman, Lauren Mallory, turns out to be a former acquaintance to Jon and later to David, and it is discovered that she had a sexual relationship with both several years earlier. Amanda is served with a paternity complaint filed against Jon. Reeling from this revelation, they receive a call that Ralph is in trouble. Arriving at Ralph’s home, they discover that a murder has occurred. When law enforcement responded to the call, David and Ralph were found at the house with the victim, and they are suddenly suspects. While crime scene operatives are crawling all over the house looking for evidence, Charlie gets the call from the governor that he has been appointed as sheriff and that he will lead the murder investigation. He finds himself suddenly at odds with his friends, and he and Amanda skirmish over the collection of evidence. During the murder investigation, evidence keeps mysteriously appearing, casting suspicion first at Ralph, then David, and even Jon as the possible suspects. Amanda is approached and threatened by a shadowy figure that she should apply for the judgeship or face the possibility of charges being brought against one or more of the men. She is blackmailed into keeping silent. Charlie and Amanda end up on opposite sides, and Amanda desperately fights the growing evidence against her husband and friends. Furthermore, she is faced with more and more information eroding her trust in Jon. As events unfold, Jon has to combat his own jealousy and suspicions about Amanda as well. Then, just as Amanda’s nerves are stretched to the breaking point, evidence is delivered to her that seems to point irrefutably to Jon’s continuing involvement in an affair with Lauren Mallory, and to his being the perpetrator of the murder.

Book Synopsis Mother of Souls by : Heather Rose Jones
Download or read book Mother of Souls written by Heather Rose Jones and published by Bella Books. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At last! Return to the enchanted realm of Alpennia for the eagerly awaited sequel to Daughter of Mystery and The Mystic Marriage. All her life, Serafina Talarico has searched in vain for a place where she and her mystical talents belong. She never found it in Rome—the city of her birth—where her family’s Ethiopian origins marked them as immigrants. After traveling halfway across Europe to study with Alpennia’s Royal Thaumaturgist, her hopes of finding a home among Margerit Sovitre’s circle of scholars are dashed, for Serafina can perceive, but not evoke, the mystical forces of the Mysteries of the Saints and even Margerit can’t awaken her talents. When Serafina takes lodgings with Luzie Valorin, widowed music teacher and aspiring composer, both their lives are changed forever. Luzie’s music holds a power to rival the Mysteries, and Serafina alone has the vision to guide her talents. For sorcery threatens the fate of Alpennia—indeed of all of Europe—locking the mountains in a malevolent storm meant to change the course of history. Alpennia’s mystic protections are under attack and the key to survival may lie in the unlikeliest of places: Luzie’s ambition to write an opera on the life of the medieval philosopher Tanfrit.
Download or read book Frege written by Dale Jacquette and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gottlob Frege (1848–1925) is one of the founding figures of analytic philosophy, whose contributions to logic, philosophical semantics, philosophy of language, and philosophy of mathematics set the agenda for future generations of theorists in these and related areas. Dale Jacquette's lively and incisive biography charts Frege's life from its beginnings in small-town north Germany, through his student days in Jena, to his development as an enduringly influential thinker. Along the way Jacquette considers Frege's ground-breaking Begriffschrift (1879), in which he formulated his 'ideal logical language', his magisterial Grundgesetze der Arithmetik (1893 and 1903), and his complex relation to thinkers including Husserl and especially Russell, whose Paradox had such drastic implications for Frege's logicism. Jacquette concludes with a thoughtful assessment of Frege's legacy. His rich and informative biography will appeal to all who are interested in Frege's philosophy.
Book Synopsis Power and Protest at an American University by : Ellen Carnaghan
Download or read book Power and Protest at an American University written by Ellen Carnaghan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the successful no-confidence movement led by faculty at Saint Louis University in 2013 in an effort to unseat the university president, considering the reasons for success when similar movements often fail. Through a series of chapters written by faculty from many disciplines at the university, it uses a particular episode of faculty protest to shed light on wider issues concerning the circumstances in which faculty are likely to be motivated to protest, the institutional frameworks that make protest possible and the strategies that get results. As such, it will appeal to scholars of social movements with interests in protest and mobilization in the field of education.

Book Synopsis The Virtues of Abandon by : Charly Coleman
Download or read book The Virtues of Abandon written by Charly Coleman and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: France in the eighteenth century glittered, but also seethed, with new goods and new ideas. In the halls of Versailles, the streets of Paris, and the soul of the Enlightenment itself, a vitriolic struggle was being waged over the question of ownership—of property, of position, even of personhood. Those who championed man's possession of material, spiritual, and existential goods faced the successive assaults of radical Christian mystics, philosophical materialists, and political revolutionaries. The Virtues of Abandon traces the aims and activities of these three seemingly disparate groups, and the current of anti-individualism that permeated theology, philosophy, and politics throughout the period. Fired by the desire to abandon the self, men and women sought new ways to relate to God, nature, and nation. They joined illicit mystic cults that engaged in rituals of physical mortification and sexual license, committed suicides in the throes of materialist fatalism, drank potions to induce consciousness-altering dreams, railed against the degrading effects of unfettered consumption, and ultimately renounced the feudal privileges that had for centuries defined their social existence. The explosive denouement was the French Revolution, during which God and king were toppled from their thrones.

Download or read book Industrial Cowboys written by David Igler and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2005-01-28 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The process by which two neighborhood butchers turned themselves into landed industrialists depended to an extraordinary degree on the acquisition, manipulation, and exploitation of natural resources. Igler examines the broader impact of western industrialism - as exemplified by Miller & Lux - on landscapes and waterscapes, bringing to the forefront the important issues of land reclamation, water politics, San Francisco's unique business environment, and the city's relation to its surrounding hinterlands. He provides a rich discussion of the social relations engineered by Miller & Lux, from the dispossession of Californio rancheros to the ethnic segmentation of the firm's massive labor force."--Jacket.

Book Synopsis Weimar Germany's Left-Wing Intellectuals by : Istvan Deak
Download or read book Weimar Germany's Left-Wing Intellectuals written by Istvan Deak and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Germany between the two world wars, which produced some of the greatest literary lights of the century, also produced a forum worthy of them: the brilliantly edited, crusading, lef-oriented (but not party-affiliated) Weltbühne. The present book tells the history of this weekly Berlin journal, discusses the men that ran it and wrote it, and outlines the causes for which it fought. The Weltbühne had three editors--the uncompromising style-conscious Siegfried Jacobsohn, the sharp-tongued, satirical Kurt Tucholsky, and the enigmatic, aristocratic Carl von Ossietzky, martyred by the Nazis. The radical, intellectual elite of Germany (and to come extent outside Germany) contributed to the journal -- Heinrich Mann, Alfred Polgar, Erich Kästner, Alfred Doblin, Bertolt Brecht, Leonhard Frank, Theodor Plievier, Rene Schickele, Lion Feuchtwanger, Ernst Toller, Arnold Zweig; also Arthur Koestler, Romain Rolland, Henry Barbusse, and Leon Trotsky. These men stood for the demilitarization of Germany, the purge of the reactionary administration and judiciary, the end of all restraints on human rights (including the restraints on abortion and homosexuality), complete equality of women, pacifist educational policies, the intellectualization of politics and politicization of the intellectuals, unity of the working-class parties, and socialism. When, on May 11, 1933, on Opera Square in Berlin, the stormtroopers burned books of fifteen authors sinning against the German Volk, thirteen of them had made contribution to the Weltbühne; and since many of them were Jews, the auto-da-fé gave special pleasure to the mob. Mr. Deak recreates with unusual empathy the atmosphere of the era, characterized by terrific social and political issues, which eventually lead to the disaster of the Thirties. The campaigns of the Weltbühne failed, and the contributors were killed or went into exile, with the journal itself moving from Berlin to Vienna to Prague to Paris before it died. Mr. Deak makes a lasting contribution to history by opening to a broader public the records preserved in the pages of this important but largely ignored journal, by selecting and interpreting the issues, and by brining to life the personalities that gave the era its intellectual profile. And understanding of the Weltbühne campaigns is indispensable for an appraisal of Central European politics in the first half of our century. Mr. Deak, in this readable book written with the passionate interest of a person who seems to have been a participant rather than a chronicler, makes this understanding possible by a lucid exposition and a searching analysis of the events. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1968.
