BOOK 1A TOWN IN AFRICAA town in Africa. Forgotten by the world or a just old news The United Nations unable or unwilling to interfere? Mohammed Khan had resigned himself to his fate. He had come to help his father's people and fallen in love. He had married and had a child. Their death by government forces had questioned his faith; but not his resolve to continue the Tribe's fight for Independence. The Town he was now in was surrounded and cut off from the rest of the world. It was only a matter of time before it was obliterated and wiped from the map. The Private Jet approaching the abandoned runway would bring an English Football Player; and a French Stewardess. They would help their cause, but another passenger; the mysterious Arab; would ultimately prove to be their salvation. BOOK 2THE RETURN OF KHANA Professor; a female Agent, and a young Doctor have disappeared in Myanmar. Was it a kidnapping or something more sinister?

He will assume the guise as an Arab Merchant buying diamonds as a way of penetrating the security in the country, but a surprise awaits him. The hostages are safe Will he abandon his mission or once again make plans to free a people from tyranny?

Land-based, multi-domain anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) forces can play a role in deterring or defeating aggression.

Of the four major priesthoods in ancient Rome, none wielded powers as extensive as the pontificate's; holders of this office not only oversaw all the ceremonies of the Roman state religion, but in supervising certain forms of adoption, inheritance, and burials, also exercised considerable power over many "private" areas of Roman religion and life. This thoroughly researched monograph fills the void in the literature on pontifical law by going beyond merely updating the scholarly understanding of the subject and instead introducing a new conceptual framework and analysis. This book treats the pontifical law as a concept fundamentally important to Roman religion and in that context examines how and why the pontiffs acted as they did, uncovering tenets of pontifical doctrine. The book offers a careful analysis of topics from evaluations of other modern works on pontiffs to the functions and prerogatives of the pontifical college; it concludes with an appendix of reproductions of each ancient passage containing explicit reference to the pontifical law.

Britain’s towns and cities are dominated by great public buildings that serve their communities in diverse ways. Foremost among these buildings are the town halls erected for the purpose of civic administration. As seats of local government, town halls are the power bases that have ruled Britain’s great municipalities for centuries. Architecturally, these buildings are inherently symbolic, proclaiming the status, values and history of the towns and cities in which they stand. Great Public Buildings of the North East celebrates the architecture of town halls and civic centres in this distinctive region. The survey encompasses the baroque town halls of the eighteenth century, the eclectic civic palaces of the Victorian era and the more abstract civic centres of the post-war period, conceived as beacons of modernity and political transparency. Analysing these fascinating buildings within a single volume, this book asks how the settlements of North-East England expressed themselves through the medium of civic architecture.
