All of this and more iscontained in the narrative of this complex crime, with twin focuses on thevictim, John F. Kennedy, and the investigator, Jim Garrison.

The third book in the Printz Honor–award winning series, this gothic, gory novel is “articulately literary, horrificially grotesque, and mind-bendingly complex” (Kirkus Reviews).

When Dr. Warthrop goes hunting for the “Holy Grail of Monstrumology” with his eager new assistant, Arkwright, he leaves Will Henry in Victorian New York. Finally, Will can enjoy something that always seemed out of reach: a normal life with a real family. But part of Will can't let go of Dr. Warthrop, and when Arkwright returns, claiming that the doctor is dead, Will is devastated—and not convinced.

     Determined to discover the truth, Will travels to London, knowing that if he succeeds, he will be plunging into depths of horror worse than anything he has experienced so far. His journey takes him to Socotra, the Isle of Blood, where human beings are used to make nests and blood rains from the sky—and puts Will Henry's loyalty to the ultimate test.

On the one hundredth anniversary of the death of William James, Robert Richardson, author of the magisterial William James: In the Maelstrom of American Modernism, assembles a wide-ranging selection of essays and writings that reveal the evolution of James's thought over time, especially as it was continually being shaped by the converging influences of psychology, philosophy, and religion throughout his life.

Proceeding chronologically, the volume begins with “What Is an Emotion,” James's early, notable, and still controversial argument that many of our emotions follow from (rather than cause) physical or physiological reactions. The book concludes with “The Moral Equivalent of War,” one of the greatest anti-war pieces ever written, perhaps even more relevant now than when it was first published. In between, in essays on “The Dilemma of Determinism,” “The Hidden Self,” “Habit,” and “The Will”; in chapters from The Principles of Psychology and The Varieties of Religious Experience; and in such pieces as “On a Certain Blindness in Human Beings,” “What Makes a Life Significant,” and “Philosophical Conceptions and Practical Results,” we witness the evolution of James's philosophical thinking, his pragmatism, and his radical empiricism. Throughout, Richardson's deeply informed introductions place James's work in its proper biographical, historical, and philosophical context.

In essay after essay, James calls us to live a fuller, richer, better life, to seek out and use our best energies and sympathies. As every day is the day of creation and judgment, so every age was once the new age—and as this book makes abundantly clear, William James's writings are still the gateway to many a new world.

Procurement Management is one of the nine Knowledge Areas of the PMBOK® Guide, but it is a relatively recent focus of academic study and in many business sectors the contribution of procurement is not fully realized or integrated into the strategic considerations of the business. Procurement and Supply in Projects: Misunderstood and Under-Researched examines this inconsistency.The literature review is a rich resource that reveals key concepts, such as: • The increased importance of procurement in projects versus continuing operations.• Early involvement of suppliers in project planning can yield great benefits in later project performance.Research results are many and varied. All are detailed in a series of graphics that clearly display the data, accompanied by succinct text that explains their meaning.The conclusion is that the issue of supply and its role in projects is insufficiently recognized and incorporated into best practice guidance and action for and by project managers. The likely result is that when projects go wrong, some of the blame can be attributed to the failure to plan and manage the procurement agendas.Procurement and Supply in Projects is a “call to action” for those who can and should do more to reap the benefits of this key project process.

Philemon is the shortest letter in the Pauline collection, yet-because it apparently involves a slave separated from his master-it has played an inordinate role in the history of slavery and the toxic brew of slaveholding and racism in the United States. No aspect of the letter's interpretation-whether the nature of Roman slavery, the roles of Philemon and Onesimus, or the function and intention of Paul's rhetoric-has escaped the distorting effects of that history.

In Onesimus Our Brother, scholars including leading African American biblical interpreters tease out the often unconscious assumptions about religion, race, and culture that permeate contemporary discussions of this letter and of the apostle Paul's legacy. 'The editors argue that interpreting Philemon is as weighty a matter from the perspective of African American experience as Romans or Galatians have proven to be in Eurocentric scholarship. The essays gathered here continue to trouble scholarly waters, interacting with the legacies of Hegel, Freud, Habermas, Ricoeur, and James C. Scott as well as the historical experience of African American communities.

'From Denali's majestic slopes to the Great Swamp of central New Jersey, protected wilderness areas make up nearly 20 percent of the parks, forests, wildlife refuges, and other public lands that cover a full fourth of the nation's territory. But wilderness is not only a place. It is also one of the most powerful and troublesome ideas in American environmental thought, representing everything from sublime beauty and patriotic inspiration to a countercultural ideal and an overextension of government authority. The Promise of Wilderness examines how the idea of wilderness has shaped the management of public lands since the passage of the Wilderness Act in 1964. Wilderness preservation has engaged diverse groups of citizens, from hunters and ranchers to wildlife enthusiasts and hikers, as political advocates who have leveraged the resources of local and national groups toward a common goal. Turner demonstrates how these efforts have contributed to major shifts in modern American environmental politics, whichhave emerged not just in reaction to a new generation of environmental concerns, such as environmental justice and climate change, but also in response to changed debates over old conservation issues, such as public lands management. He also shows how battles over wilderness protection have influenced American politics more broadly, fueling disputes over the proper role of government, individual rights, and the interests of rural communities; giving rise to radical environmentalism; and playing an important role in the resurgence of the conservative movement, especially in the American West. 'James Turner's insightful book demonstrates the continued vitality and centrality of wilderness within American environmentalism.' -Mark Harvey, author of Wilderness Forever: Howard Zahniser and the Path to the Wilderness Act 'A superb study of the implementation of the Wilderness Act, and a springboard for a new period in wilderness thought and advocacy.' -Paul Sutter, author of Driven Wild: How the Fight Against Automobiles Launched the Modern Wilderness Movement 'The most deeply researched, analytically rigorous, and elegantly written study of American wilderness politics since the 1960s yet produced.' -from the Foreword by William Cronon James Morton Turner is assistant professor of environmental studies at Wellesley College'--
