Book Description
The American people have spoken by rejecting the incumbent president, Martin Brookes and electing his opponent Paul Roberts and his running mate Barnie Martinez. Brookes responds by fulfilling an election pledge to shoot himself on a White House toilet in the event of his defeat and this leaves his vice-president Neil Jock Honeyman as president until the inauguration of the new president. Come inauguration day, President Honeyman suddenly dies. Not wishing to be outdone, President-elect Roberts also becomes unexpectedly deceased. This sets in motion a truly bizarre train of events involving deception, corruption and murder in the highest of places plus sexual misdoings ranging from wife-swapping to alleged perverted deeds upon mountain goats in the European Alps. Can American democracy survive this truly historic inauguration? Delve into the incredible and the totally unlikely as Washington undertakes a manic game of Who's the President? on a day when it really does hail chiefs.

God and Gold
Author: Walter Russell Mead
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0375713735
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
A stunningly insightful account of the global political and economic system, sustained first by Britain and now by America, that has created the modern world. The key to the two countries' predominance, Mead argues, lies in the individualistic ideology inherent in the Anglo-American religion. Over the years Britain and America's liberal democratic system has been repeatedly challeged—by Catholic Spain and Louis XIV, the Nazis, communists, and Al Qaeda—and for the most part, it has prevailed. But the current conflicts in the Middle East threaten to change that record unless we foster a deeper understanding of the conflicts between the liberal world system and its foes.

Hail Orisha!
Author: Peter McKenzie
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004664688
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 592
Book Description
Orisha worshippers who were not subjected to forced migration to the Americas in the nineteenth century remained their own masters, inhabiting cities, towns and farm villages in their West African kingdoms. This study uses documentation from Yoruba writings and from the written record of European missionaries to describe the various facets of their religious life. Arranged in the form of a phenomenology, the work deals with such matters as the veneration of the environment; carved images of the divine; the orisha celebrated in festival, worship and sacrifice; systems of divination; female and male religious specialists; and the protean divinities themselves. The comprehensive use of archival material will ensure the abiding value of this historical picture of the orisha, useful for comparisons with the present day.
