Echoes of Glory
ISBN: 9780875653891 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Robert Flynn's new novel, Echoes of Glory centers on a fictitious Texas county that embraces its legends, but not its actual history. Set in the Reagan era, the novel exposes shared myths as lies and the truth, lacking all comfort. In his inimitable style Flynn paints a portrait of the denizens of the county who tacitly embrace the legend as all too human and all too frail. Overshadowed by the accomplishments of adjacent Doss County, Mills County clings to its legends--the legendary Mills brothers. One brother had died at the Alamo, one at Goliad, three had fought at San Jacinto. The three...

Living with the Hyenas
ISBN: 9780875651446 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Hyenas are scavengers and predators. They prey on the weak and the helpless and even their fellow predators, the lions. Like lions, the people in Robert Flynn's stories learn to make accommodations to the hyenas and to a society that tolerates them. Sometimes accommodation is painful, as in "A Boy and His Dog," the story of a Marine and his dog trained to sniff out mines and booby-traps in the Vietnam War.
Sometimes the process of accommodation is comic, bringing out Flynn's characteristic wit, as in "At Play in the Sewers of the Lord," which juxtaposes theology and sewage treatment. But...

Robert Flynn's second novel tracks a day in the life of Pat Shahan, minister of a Protestant church in a large city. Young, devout, and honest, Shahan seeks revelation--and is offered a revolving neon cross for the church steeple; he seeks vision--and gets a pep talk from the church treasurer. Striving to serve the Lord, he is dragged into a "Great Crusade" which is nothing more than a publicity stunt that ends disastrously. Shahan's day sees him ministering to the sick and dying, pacifying angry parishioners and counseling troubled ones, seeking inspiration for a sermon, trying to calm his...

Paul Baker and the Integration of Abilities
ISBN: 9780875652719 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Irritating, arrogant, nuts--and a genius." That's what Charles Laughton said of Paul Baker. He also said, "Paul Baker is one of the most important minds in the world theater today. He seems to have invented new ways of doing things, and I think something big will come out of it."
Something big did come out of it. Stage productions such as "Othello," "Hamlet," and "A Cloud of Witnesses" brought critics including Henry Hewes of "Saturday Review" and photographers such as Eliot Eliosofon of "Life" magazine to Baylor Theater in Waco. Baker's production of Eugene McKinney's "A Different... "Irritating, arrogant, nuts--and a genius." That's what Charles Laughton said of Paul Baker.

Depression and the Social Environment: Research and Intervention with Neglected Populations
ISBN: 9780773509603 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The authors of the essays in Depression and the Social Environment explore the etiological role of the social environment, suggesting that for "neglected populations" -- immigrants and refugees, native Indians, the unemployed, the physically disabled, the elderly, caregivers of the impaired elderly, children and adolescents, and women -- depression has significant environmental roots. These populations and the manifestations of depression that they exhibit have been largely overlooked because the importance of the social environment itself has been insufficiently investigated. The...

Major questions surround who, how, and by what means should the interests of government, the private sector, or consumers hold authority and powers over decisions concerning the production and consumption of foods. This book examines the development of food policy and regulation following the BSE (mad cow disease) crisis of the late 1990s, and traces the changing relationships between three key sets of actors: private interests, such as the corporate retailers; public regulators, such as the EU directorates and UK agencies; and consumer groups at EU and national levels. The authors explore...
