The Bill of Rights: Politics, Religion, and the Quest for Justice

The Bill of Rights: Politics, Religion, and the Quest for Justice





The Bill of Rights did not become part of the United States Constitution just because the Founding Fathers were great political philosophers. Before their work, almost five hundred years of sweat and blood for political and religious rights had occurred in England.

In THE BILL OF RIGHTS, Politics, Religion, and the Quest for Justice, John Patterson traces the fascinating journey of these rights through England and America. From the barons who challenged King John, through the Parliament that fought Charles I, to the Sons of Liberty who opposed George III, a story of human rights is told about those who built our freedoms brick by brick through the ages.

Even such events as The Plague, The Renaissance, and The Reformation are tied into this story, something that will surprise most people. THE BILL OF RIGHTS details the most critical period of the English expansion of liberty, the 17th century. The despised Stuart kings, the revered Sir Edward Coke, the feared Oliver Cromwell, and the admired William and Mary are shown to be agents who shaped the course of human liberties in the Western World. Finally, this work plunges into the Great Debate over our Constitution and how the Bill of Rights became a part of it.

Smoke Screen: A Novel Reviews

Smoke Screen: A Novel

#1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown is back, with a blistering story about corruption, betrayal, and the ultimate abuse of power.

When newswoman Britt Shelley wakes up in bed with the handsome and hard-partying Jay Burgess, a rising star detective in the Charleston PD, she remembers nothing of how she got there...or of how Jay wound up dead.

Five years earlier, Jay was a hero of a disastrous fire at Charleston's police headquarters, which would have been even deadlier if not for the bravery of Jay and three other city officials who led others to safety. Firefighter Raley Gannon, Jay's lifelong friend, had been assigned to investigate the fire, but the investigation ended in a scandal that shattered Raley's world, and forced him to surrender the woman he loved and the work to which he'd dedicated his life. For five years his resentment has festered, but he was helpless to set things right. That changes when he learns of Jay's shocking death.

As suspicion against Britt Shelley mounts, Raley realizes that the newswoman might be his only chance to get personal vindication -- and justice for the seven victims of the police station fire. But there are powerful men who don't want to address unanswered questions about the fire, and will go to any lengths to protect their reputations. As Raley and Britt discover more about what happened that fateful day, they realize that they're not only chasing after the truth but running for their lives. Smoke Screen is Sandra Brown's most intense novel yet.

The 2011 Import and Export Market for Iron or Steel Sewing and Knitting Needles, Bodkins, Crochet Hooks, and Embroidery Stilettos for Hand Use in the United States

The 2011 Import and Export Market for Iron or Steel Sewing and Knitting Needles, Bodkins, Crochet Hooks, and Embroidery Stilettos for Hand Use in the United States





On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on iron or steel sewing and knitting needles, bodkins, crochet hooks, and embroidery stilettos for hand use in the United States face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying iron or steel sewing and knitting needles, bodkins, crochet hooks, and embroidery stilettos for hand use to the United States? How important is the United States compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of iron or steel sewing and knitting needles, bodkins, crochet hooks, and embroidery stilettos for hand use vary from one country of origin to another in the United States? On the supply side, the United States also exports iron or steel sewing and knitting needles, bodkins, crochet hooks, and embroidery stilettos for hand use. Which countries receive the most exports from the United States? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?

This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for iron or steel sewing and knitting needles, bodkins, crochet hooks, and embroidery stilettos for hand use in the United States. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for iron or steel sewing and knitting needles, bodkins, crochet hooks, and embroidery stilettos for hand use for those countries serving the United States via exports, or supplying from the United States via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.

Secrets in the Fields: The Science and Mysticism of Crop Circles

For over fifteen centuries the mysterious crop circles have been mentioned in academic and religious texts. In the 1890s farmers and military personnel witnessed them being created in seconds by tubes of light and other luminosities.

But around 1980 the phenomenon went into overdrive and exploded worldwide, with some10,000 reports spread over 29 countries. A major controversy erupted followed by a pre-designed debunking campaign through the media. But the 80 eyewitness accounts clearly tell another story that a genuine phenomenon is at work. So what are crop circles, why are they here and what is responsible?

This book by veteran researcher and international best-selling author Freddy Silva is the most comprehensive account of the mystery ever published, much of it from personal and hands-on experience.

Written at enormous personal sacrifice, Silva brings you the complete history of the phenomenon, the anomalies that defy the present boundaries of science, and the deliberate official efforts to discredit it and manipulate the public s opinion.

Copiously illustrated with over 400 images and diagrams, he delves into the hard evidence and describes how the designs may be created by sound, plasma and the manipulation of local magnetic fields. He dissects their sacred geometry, their known meanings, hidden messages, connections with ancient symbols, and how they are energetically linked to ancient sacred sites such as Stonehenge and the Giza pyramids.

Ultimately he comes face-to-face with the source of the real crop circles including a photo of a Circle-maker and discovers how the glyphs are associated with the upcoming cycle of earth changes, and how they are working energetically to influence the future direction of human consciousness.

The message in this comprehensive and critically-acclaimed work will surprise and humble you. For the crop circles are a guide to where we have been, and a signpost to where we are headed.
