Book Description
Bernard Dansereau has always been preoccupied by the physical nature of happiness. He was only five years old when he first attempted to get to the heart - or the head - of the matter, first by asking questions, later by dissecting brains, both animal and human, as he searched for the special cells he was sure would be found in the cognitive organ of the blissful. With humour and irony and a great deal of tenderness, François Gravel describes Bernard's quest, which is set against the background of the early years of St. Jean de Dieu, a Montreal psychiatric hospital. In doing so, he also pays affectionate tribute to the courageous work of a tiny, indomitable nun, Sister Thérèse-de-Jésus, the real-life founder of the hospital.

When clever young sleuth Miss Juliette Abbott is invited to spend a fortnight at Martindale Manor as companion to a young blind girl whose father has suddenly passed away, she believes she has been offered the perfect respite from murder and mayhem in the tiny hamlet of Martindale in England's far-away North Country. Told that the girl’s brother and heir, Sir James Martindale, is even now on his way home, Miss Abbott and her trusted maid Tilda set out in high spirits for their four-day journey north. However, upon arriving in Cumbria, Juliette is shocked to learn that the murders have already begun! Miss Martindale’s father did not simply pass away; the man was viciously murdered!

STALKING A KILLER by Marilyn Clay . . . From the rocky shores of Lake Stevens near small town Pinehill, Texas to the teeming streets of Dallas and sweltering beaches of Miami, aspiring Private Investigator Amanda Mason fearlessly stalks the killer who is letting her father take the blame for murder. What’s worse, Amanda doesn’t really trust the man who has agreed to help her and who is traveling with her. Since he’s keeping his true identity a secret, Amanda fears it’s possible he knows all the answers and is purposely keeping her in the dark. But, why? Amanda has no doubt that Jake, her elderly father, is innocent of the crime. His only crime was taking the wealthy man out on the lake to fish. Now, the cops are not only trying to pin the murder on Jake, they’re threatening to take Amanda’s five-year-old son away from her.

Book Description
An enduring debate among scholars has focused on the degree to which Shakespeare's plays are indebted to the Christian culture in which they were created and the manner of demonstrating that indebtedness. R. Chris Hassel, Jr. points out informed allusions to familiar Pauline and Erasmian Christian passages and themes present in Love's Labor's Lost, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Much Ado about Nothing, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, and The Merchant of Venice. He argues that not only did Shakespeare's audience understand these allusions but also that these allusions led the audience to recognize their pertinence to the playwright's uniquely Christian comic vision. Furthermore, Hassel feels this understanding of the relationship between Shakespeare's comic artistry and Christianity leads to a greater appreciation of the plays.
