Vain & Valour : Volume 1 - Vanity by Justan Autor (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

"Search the waters!" A familiar shout went up from near the castle. "Find that traitor!" To where does one flee when hunted by the world? What if you, the accused, held the very fate of the Ancien Régime in your grasp? And to survive, you had to become someone else? Espionage has a new face in the age of revolution. Meet a legend in the making. Against the sweeping backdrop of the Swiss Alps in 1791, this first instalment to the series "Vain & Valour" unfolds. In a confederacy poised on the brink of chaos, where secrets are currency, loyalty is a luxury, and every precarious step swings between survival and destruction, one false move could ignite revolution across Switzerland's neutral cantons. A mysterious fugitive ensnared in an assassination plot becomes the unwitting agent of destiny. But with the past holding the key to the future, will his choices save a nation or destroy it? Just as the title suggests, this narrative juxtaposes forces and themes that interplay brilliantly throughout its pages. As much a comedy of manners as it is a spy thriller, moments of laugh-out-loud absurdity collide with heart-pounding tension as we witness the birth of a secret agent. We encounter characters -- peasants and aristocrats, altruists and schemers, lovers and fighters -- who each embody the struggles between selfish ambition and noble sacrifice. "Vain & Valour" is more than a historical epic; it's a celebration of genre-blending artistry. A symphony of contrasts that captures the dance of deception and loyalty, burlesque and drama, mystery and romance, folly and grandeur. Evoked is the essence of Fleming, Dumas, le Carré, Hugo, Ludlum, and Fielding. Blended is the brilliance of adventure with the complexity of character study, where the vanity of one man is pitted against his capacity for valorous deeds. This is a story that promises not only to captivate with its plot but to resonate with its depth. Espionage has never looked so good. "In vain doth valour ...

The Fall of America: Fatal Encounters (Book 2) by W.R. Benton (266 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

What if it all came crashing down? It started with the "Biggest" stock market crash in history. Banks shut down under the weight of their bogus investments, and the financial sector failed. People looked to the government to make it all better. They couldn't! Hyper-inflation, mass unemployment and infrastructure started to breakdown. The food trucks didn't show up at the stores and the shelves went empty. Things turned ugly fast when there was no power for long parts of the day... then forever. Things started falling apart quicker after that. Whole regions declared a "State of Emergency" in an effort to maintain order and civility, but it wasn't always enough. Starvation, looting and murder became the norm. Then, American civilization collapsed completely. The Fall of America: Book 2 continues John's story of survival and resistance after society breaks down. Russian invaders continue to try and pacify the areas of the South under their control. The American resistance groups divide their forces into small cells to better operate effectively behind enemy lines. But as their efforts begin to gain ground the Russians respond with harsh reprisals; mass executions become the norm and prison camps soon spring up in remote small towns. "Fear brings compliance," is their motto. The battle for control of Mississippi gets hot, and a violent world gets even more ugly. Can the U.S. partisans survive the overwhelming Russian Army and its thermal detection technology/helicopter gunships/and scorched earth tactics?

He outlines and explains what most redlining cases have in common and gives financial institutions practical solutions on how to address these problems.

His efforts bring value." -- MICHAEL L. STEVENS, President & CEO, Graduate School of Banking at Colorado "Discrimination in banking lending can have an effect on generations of Americans. Working to call attention to this and helping to end discrimination is an admirable cause. This is a cause that Tory Haggerty has been addressing for a long time. His new book, "The Thick Red Line" is another effort to push for fair lending practices. These efforts are to be applauded." -- GEOFF BACINO, Former National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Board member, Former Federal Housing Finance Board member "Haggerty provides a passionate call to action and argues compellingly that through stronger anti-discrimination policies, improved financial education, and a collective commitment to expanding access to credit, we can finally start to unwind the harms caused by redlining.

The Experience of Alien Royal Servants in Thirteenth-Century England by Michael Ray (3 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

At the beginning of the thirteenth century, King John lost his Norman and Angevin lands to the King of France. The Anglo-Norman nobility had to choose which King to support and accept the loss of their lands under the rule of the King they had disowned. However, John continued to rely on his trusted Normans as soldiers and officials, many of whom were instrumental in preventing the son of the King of France from seizing the throne, first from John, and after his death in 1216 from his son Henry III. Despite their service to the crown, many of these aliens were disenfranchised during Henry's minority as the English baronage and clergy whipped up hostility against them. Henry later encouraged the arrival of two further groups of aliens into England, the Savoyards and Poitevins, who were relatives of his mother and wife. He lavished patronage on them as a way to consolidate his power both at home and abroad. In 1263 Simon de Montfort revived hostility against aliens in his war against the King. This whole period marks a pronounced awareness of the Englishness of those born in England. Henry's successors continued to employ and foster the careers of aliens but the Montfortian wars taught them to tread carefully. The chapters in this book cover the reigns of John, Henry III and the first three Edwards. They show how some families accumulated considerable rewards. Some weathered prejudice and became fully assimilated. Some did not and never established firm roots in England. What stands out is that all of the aliens studied repaid the Kings with loyalty and efficiency.

And it was no accident. When the castle's head of security tells me to keep my nose out as I ask a few questions, I know I should listen, but I can never resist a puzzle.

Ultramarine by Victoria Mosley (1 Review)    Price verified 5 hours ago

''Life affirming, a beautiful read... '' ''I think Ultramarine is extraordinary, extraordinary and brilliant, and it keeps it up the whole way through. You are ''take me or leave me'' savage, and yet you write of things being so beautiful. The mixture of poetry and prose works well... Your originality is that you are deliberately talking to yourself. What I mean by that is that you are writing for the words. I am a bit awe struck!'' Nicholas Mosley. The Tibetan monks say that in some sense we choose our own incarnation, yet in the dark times all I could ask was why me? When I started to write this diary the reason became clear. This is a diary which runs from January to January, but it is a diary with a difference. The poems are written in the present and then the images and feelings that they evoked took me to scenes from my past, or to relationships that had their roots in my childhood patterns of relating. I wanted to write about the terror and abuse in my childhood in the way in which I learnt to deal with it, as a gateway to the Universe and to utilise each trauma a useful tool for my art. I learnt to look at myself from the outside in in order to cope and stay sane. The links between the ''now'' and the ''back then'' came naturally, I like the way that the poems morphed into something else, something strong and yet for me profound. I like the feeling that so much ugliness can create beauty.

The Master of Suspense: The Life and Legacy of Alfred Hitchcock by Charles River Editors (63 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

*Includes pictures. *Includes Hitchcock's quotes about directing and explains the key themes and techniques associated with his films. *Includes a bibliography for further reading. *Includes a table of contents. "I am a typed director. If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach." - Alfred Hitchcock, 1956 In the opening pages of his seminal book-length study of Alfred Hitchcock, Hitchcock's Films (1965), Robin Wood famously asked, "Why Should We Take Hitchcock Seriously?" Wood then proceeded to offer a detailed examination of Hitchcock's career to that point, arguing that the Master of Suspense belonged among the ranks of the preeminent directors in Hollywood, and that his films were among the most important in American culture. When Wood was asking that question, he wasn't asking it rhetorically and was arguing for Hitchcock's relevance, which seems strange today because Hitchcock is now a Hollywood icon. No one would even think of asking that same question today, as just about every American is familiar with Hitchcock's work in some way or another. Hitchcock is regarded as perhaps the most famous and influential director in history, so Wood's question back in 1965 at least demonstrates the evolution of Hitchcock's reputation and the critical reception of his career. Indeed, as revered as Hitchcock is today, it is telling that he was never awarded an Academy Award during his career (though he was given an honorary Oscar after his retirement.) Vertigo (1958), for example, is now considered one of the landmark films of the classical Hollywood cinema, but it was both a box office and a critical flop upon its release. Other Hitchcock films, such as Psycho (1960) and North by Northwest (1959), performed well at the box office but were not viewed as high art. Indeed, it was not until the rise of Film Studies as an academic discipline - a development that saw Hitchcock's films get co-opted by scholars of the horror and ...
