Book Description
A young journalist disappears... right after interviewing the galaxy’s most notorious criminal imprisoned at a max-lock facility. What the investigators find could unravel the political fabric of the core worlds and threaten the MEA government and its corps of mind readers who are committed to keeping their secrets at all costs. Now, it's a race against government forces and pirate clans--the winner will claim the mythic treasure... but no one know what's truly inside the Lockbox--and everyone has their own intentions upon it and theories of what it holds. Only one thing is certain: …something wicked is now headed for Earth, and whatever it is, it's not from our universe.

Book Description
In this “sympathetic [and] compelling” historical novel set in Depression era Rhode Island, a young woman untangles family secrets to claim independence (The Plain Dealer). Summer, 1934. Anne Dodge, raised by her old-money father in a small Rhode Island coastal town, has always been told that her Portuguese mother abandoned them when she was six. Now home from college, Anne’s ambitions to become a boat builder are complicated by her father’s plan to reopen the family mill. But then Anne learns that she has a half- sister, Maria Cristina—and when Maria Cristina comes to live with Anne and her father, ugly secrets rise to the surface, threatening the fate of the entire family. Set on the New England coast at a time when jazz was the rage, Prohibition was ending, and gender expectations were severe and stifling, Daughter of Providence is a gripping story of loss and rediscovery in the tradition of Richard Russo and Annie Proulx.

Book Description
Investigating the associations of Mohamed Atta and other terrorist pilots in Venice, Florida, as they prepared for the 9/11 attacks, this work discloses the FBI's massive post-attack cover-up to conceal their knowledge of the terrorists' activities. Unreported stories including the assassination attempt on President George W. Bush on the morning of September 11, 2001, and the rampant drug trafficking of the flight school financier are fully discussed, with attention to the stunning evidence of the CIA's knowledge that hundreds of Arab flight students were pouring into southwest Florida. This examination of the conspiracy behind the 9/11 investigation and the CIA complicity in the illegal activities that allowed the known terrorists to continue offers truth behind the "official" story of the attacks.

Theological Libraries and Library Associations in Europe
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004523197
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 597
Book Description
During the past 50 years, theological libraries have confronted secularisation and religious pluralism, along with revolutionary technological developments that brought not only significant challenges but also unexpected opportunities to adopt new instruments for the transfer of knowledge through the automation and computerisation of libraries. This book shows how European theological libraries tackled these challenges; how they survived by redefining their task, by participating in the renewal of scholarly librarianship, and by networking internationally. Since 1972, BETH, the Association of European Theological Libraries, has stimulated this process by enabling contacts among a growing number of national library associations all over Europe.
