“A GUT PUNCH OF A NOVEL—lyrical, mordantly funny, and wrenching.” —Kelly Link, author of Get in TroubleThe searing and unforgettable story of one decision that irrevocably changes the course of a young man’s life. In the early 1970s, in Stovall, Texas, seventeen-year-old Earl—a loner, dreamer, lover of music and words—meets and is quickly infatuated with Tina, the new girl in town. Tina convinces Earl to drive her to see her mother in Austin, where Earl and Tina are quickly separated. Two days later, Earl is being questioned by the police about Tina’s disappearance and the blood in the trunk of his car. But Earl can’t remember what happened in Austin, and with little support from his working-class family, he is sentenced for a crime he did not commit. Forty years later, Earl is released into an America so changed that he can barely navigate it. Determined to have the life that was taken from him, he settles in a small town on the Oregon coast and struggles to overcome the emotional toll of incarceration. But just as Earl finds a chance to begin again, his past returns to endanger the new life he’s built. Steeped in the music and atmosphere of the 1970s, I Am the Light of This World is a gritty, gripping, and gorgeously written story of the impulsive choices of youth, redemption, mercy, and the power of the imagination.

This title was first published in 2003. Developments in genetic science are opening up new possibilities for human beings; both the creation and the shaping of human life are now possible in the laboratory. As these techniques develop, questions are increasingly asked about how far everything that is scientifically possible should - morally, legally and socially - be pursued.  Whilst much attention and policy-making has focussed on the development of regulation of technologies affecting human reproduction, regulation where plants and animals are concerned is much more limited. In this book, developments in genetics are addressed in the broad sense by an international range of contributors.  This includes not only issues such as eugenics and the modification of the human embryo, but also the genetic modification of plants and animals in the pursuit of commerce, agriculture and biomedical research.  This book is published in association with the Society for Applied Philosophy

From the creator of Attraction Guides comes a life-changing new book Have you ever wondered what your purpose is in life? Have you ever wondered why life is giving you what you are getting? Have you ever wondered how to fulfill all of your dreams? If so, then Elevate Your Mind is the answer you have been seeking Elevate Your Mind is the product of many years of scientific research. Through a methodical analysis of how the law of attraction works, definitive principles have been brought to light that teach us precisely how the Universe works. With this knowledge in your possession, you will finally be able to live the life of your dreams. If you don't believe me, try to disprove the principles contained within this book. These principles are universal truths based on fundamental laws of nature. Thus, if you do precisely what this book asks of you, experiences will be created that match your thoughts with mathematical precision. The result will naturally be an absolute ability to control your destiny so that you may create any type of experience you desire to have. Now, if you are not familiar with the scientific method, then all of this might seem a bit fanciful. Even so, it is important to keep in mind that the principles laid out in this book have been derived from thousands upon thousands of experiments and observations. In other words, the principles outlined in Elevate Your Mind were derived from factual experiences. Through countless hours of repetitive thought-based experiments, the true nature of the Universe has finally been revealed. What this means for you is that the principles found within Elevate Your Mind may be used while knowing they have been demonstrated to be true time after time. This book is a blueprint of past scientific experiments that produced a consistent and highly predictable result. If someone were to take the steps outlined within it, they too would naturally produce the same results as those seen in past experiments. If you follow the steps set forth in Elevate Your Mind by transforming your thoughts to match your desires, experiences will be created that also match them. The result of doing so will be a complete transformation of your life experience to better match the desires you have selected. Therefore, it is my recommendation to you that your desires be chosen wisely, because once you have applied these principles to that which you want most in life, you will soon be experiencing a life that is absolutely filled with everything you have ever wanted. --- Michael Parker

HELL'S GATE is a historical action adventure set in British East Africa in 1898. It is inspired by the true events in the British Protectorate when the British government constructed a railway line from Mombassa on the east coast of Africa to the shores of Lake Victoria in Uganda. At the same time the German government was building a line from Zanzibar to Lake Victoria. History records that the 'race' was conceded to the British by the governor of the German Protectorate. Into these facts, Michel Parker has woven a tale of intrigue, violence and conspiracy against a backdrop of the splendour of the Rift Valley and the volcanic landscape that threatens the very existence of the railway line itself. But it isn't just the forces of nature that need to be fought, but the threat of 10,000 warring Masai led by the evil slave trader, Piet Snyder. Against this menace, Captain Kingsley Webb, commandant of the British East African Rifles is ordered to defend Nairobi railway camp and the two thousand souls who make up this teeming, tented city with just two hundred soldiers under his command. His love for the beautiful Hannah Bowers is also challenged by the widowed farmer, Reuben Cole who is forced to set out on a quest to find his son, David, kidnapped by Piet Snyder. The explosive mixture of love, conspiracy, treachery and political intrigue are brought together in a beautifully woven tapestry in this compelling tale. Will suit readers who like stories of colonial Africa, the British Empire, railway construction, slavery, action heroes, 19th. century military and romantic intrigue.
