Book Description

Bad-boy businessman Leon King is going legit by marrying the daughter of a philanthropist—and their red-hot chemistry certainly helps. But blackmail, secrets and lies swirl around their relationship. Will their dark pasts ruin everything? Nobody wants to work with a King. Our father—may he rot in jail—has left our family’s reputation in the dirt, and it’s making going legit much harder than I imagined. What we need is a grand gesture: something to show society we’re no longer the bad boys we used to be. What we need is a wedding. I had my eye on Clara Hamilton, the voluptuous daughter of one of Sydney’s most upstanding philanthropists, but her father wasn’t keen on the match. He’s suggested her reclusive sister, Vita. That suits me fine: Vita awakens something deep within me that I haven’t felt in years. It’s electric and exciting. But she’s reluctant—she’s not giving all of herself to me. Luckily, her father isn’t as perfect as he seems, and I know a few of his secrets. The threat of them getting out ought to change her mind. But do I even want her? I can tell she’s holding something back—something big—and if she has her own dark past, it could ruin everything. To make it worse…I think I’m falling for her, and not just because of our sexual chemistry. I’ve been hurt by those closest to me so many times before. Is it going to happen again?

Book Description

Its the "Changing of the Guards"! Does God have a plan for the nations, and those who will lead the way? Of course He does, and when the "guards change" so does the rules of engagement. To change nations, cultures, and the way business is conducted, it all starts with a 21st Century Leader and Reformer. Men and women who pave the way for nations are kings and reformers of their day. La Vada D. Humphrey empowers agents of change as they shift and establish a footprint to reposition nations, and business systems that require reforming. She declares that there will be men and women who are in the "business for the Business" as God ushers them in to their spheres of influence. An emerging generation of change agents ready to fill the positions of a modern- day David, Josiah, Esther, and Nehemiah - all who ultimately changed the world. Coaching Kings is about "troubleshooters" and catalysts who carry solutions in the marketplace. If youre a business person, pastor, politician, Judge or one who feels that God has "chosen" you for such a time as this, perhaps youre the reformer that shall arise to occasion.

Book Description

One might be surprised, astonished or indignant seeing men and women prostrating themselves in front of other men and other women. Or one might feel it is right to bow down before God, Allah, the saints, the Holy Virgin or the gods. Kings into Gods: How Prostration Shaped Eurasian Civilizations investigates the reasons why men prostrate themselves before deities or before powerful men. Through an in-depth historical and cultural analysis, this book highlights the connection between rituality and royalty within the Eurasian civilizations. The narrative and iconic documentation gathered and analyzed concerns the Greek and Roman world, the Mongolian civilization during the Middle Ages, the Hindu and Chinese civilizations, the Islamic civilization in India in the fourteenth century, the Mughal civilization and European civilization in the late Middle Ages. The different forms of the rituals in the courts of kings and emperors are tightly connected with the concept of royalty. The prostration is an act of humiliation of defeated enemies, a means to establish a abysmal distance between powerful elite and the people, a way of creating hierarchies within the elite itself.

Book Description

“The new image of the cattle country that emerges from Atherton’s pages is no less romantic than the prior stereotype; he writes vividly.” —Chicago Tribune Cowboys, gunslingers, and superpowered marshals dominate fictionalized accounts of the American West, but they were minor figures in the true history of the region. In The Cattle Kings, Lewis Atherton restores the leading role to the cattlemen—the genuine adventurers who opened the plains, built empires, and brought prosperity, law, and order to the West. This classic history of the West tells the true stories of rugged cattlemen like Charles Goodnight, Shanghai Pierce, the Lang family, the Marquis de Mores, and Richard King, who were attracted by the challenge of the frontier and the astounding economic opportunities it offered. Self-reliant and progressive, these young individualists revolutionized ranching. The new industry transformed the West, bringing law and order to infamous sin towns like Abilene and Dodge City and leaving an indelible mark on America’s national history and character. Atherton dramatically recreates the realities and economics of everyday life on the ranches, including the role of women, attitudes toward education and religion, and the philosophy of the cattle region. Now with an updated foreword by Western historian Timothy Lehman, this new edition of a beloved classic reveals the true heroes of the legendary cattle kingdoms that created the West. “Containing little glamour and much neglected history, this excellent book will appeal to students of the West, Old and New, and to addicts of history who prefer fact to fireworks; it belongs in all comprehensive collections of Western Americana.” —Kirkus Reviews

Book Description

Royal proclamations were an important instrument of Tudor government and their legislative function has long been a subject of historical controversy, but the actual use of them by the Tudor monarchs has not been adequately studied. The main purpose of this book is to provide a systematic analysis of the use, authority and enforcement of proclamations in early Tudor England. Professor Heinze first attempts to establish a more accurate account of the proclamations issued; and then describes their formulation and promulgation. He also investigates the authority of proclamations as defined by Parliament and the role and power attributed to them by Tudor judges and legal writers. The main body of the study traces the actual use of proclamations and their relationship to statutory and common law. Separate chapters are devoted to the controversial Statute of Proclamations and the long neglected subject of enforcement.

Book Description

Relying on a rich cache of previously classified notes, transcripts, cables, policy briefs, and memoranda, Andrew Cooper explains how oil drove, even corrupted, American foreign policy during a time when Cold War imperatives still applied, and tells why in the 1970s the U.S. switched its Middle East allegiance from the Shah of Iran to the Saudi royal family. Amid the oil shocks of the early 1970s, there was one man the U.S. could rely on: the Shah of Iran. The Shah sold us oil; we sold him weapons. But the U.S. and other industrialized economies could not tolerate repeated annual double digit increases in oil prices. During the 1976 election campaign, President Gerald Ford decided that he had to find a country that would break the OPEC monopoly and sell the U.S. oil more cheaply. On the advice of Treasury Secretary William Simon -- and against the advice of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger -- Ford made a deal to sell advanced weaponry to the Saudis in exchange for a more moderate price hike in oil. The Shah's economy was destabilized, and disaffected elements mobilized to overthrow him. The U.S. had embarked on a long relationship with the autocratic Saudi kingdom that continues to this day.
