Parables for Parents

"It contains a clear and well-presented account of the nature of the present system and the use which is being made of it. The equivalent procedure in England and Wales and Northern Ireland has also been studied, as experience in those jurisdictions provides a useful touchstone for comparison? all who read this excellent book will benefit from this important research topic ?" From the Foreword of The Right Hon The Lord Hope of Craighead, Lord President of the Court of Session Judicial review has a long history in Scotland but it is only since 1985 that it has been genuinely accessible through a relatively simple procedure. This has resulted in a marked increase in applications and indications are that the number will continue to grow. Through the use of statistical analysis and comparison with the more heavily-used procedures in England and Wales and Northern Ireland, Judicial Review in Scotland provides the first important study into how the process actually works in Scotland and its effect. In particular, the following questions are addressed:  how, when and where is judicial review used in Scotland? what factors influence access to judicial review? using homelessness as an example, what impact has judicial review had?  Judicial Review in Scotland is essential reading for all practitioners, judges, local authority administrators and voluntary organisations in Scotland. It is equally relevant in England and Wales and Northern Ireland where the substantive law is the same even though procedure differs considerably from Scotland.

In the end, this book makes a convincing case for the value of laughter in our lives. "Sometimes we laugh for sinister motives, and sometimes we use humor for noble reasons. But, thank God, we often laugh for the same reason fishermen-for the halibut. Life is serious, and in the back of our minds we recall we're eventually heading for the cemetery. Fortunately, the Christian faith says the graveyard is not the last stop. Thus, we are free to enjoy funny things that happen along the way."

Where Two or Three Are Gathered Together, Someone Spills the Milk

This delightful book will encourage you to live your life as joyfully as possible by risking light-heartedness more often. "After all," Mullen says, "life is very serious, but it's not all that serious... 'Tis better to laugh at the wrong times than never to laugh at all. Our lives, as Emerson reminds us, are not apologies. They are lives. They will necessarily be full of apologies, but they are to be taken seriously because life is a gift from God. They can be lived with good humor for the same reason."A key to good-humored, abundant living is knowing when and how to take life seriously, and when and how to roll with its punches. Mullen's principle is sound: laugh whenever you can.

If he was reincarnated today, Captain Meriwether Lewis could retrace the journey that his Lewis & Clark expedition made two centuries ago. Within hours he would shake his head in confusion and surprise. What became of the Missouri, Yellowstone, and Columbia rivers he traveled along? The answers come alive when told by those who live along these waterways. Following Lewis and Clark's route, author Tom Mullen spent five months exploring the Missouri, Yellowstone, and Columbia rivers. This book tells of his surprising discoveries in a landscape peppered by colorful characters, barge pilots, engineers, and biologists, and their determination to improve American rivers. This travelogue is a refreshing blend of quirky history, intriguing stories, and candid conversation from off the beaten trail.

World War Two was probably the most documented event in all of human existence. US Army records weight 17,120 tons. That’s about 188 miles of filing cabinets arranged side by side. Obviously, that is a lot of territory so my series is very succinct. The series is a mini-history with a focus on the air war, the men / women, the events and the times. I divided the book into very detailed sections. Example: Volume I covers some of the road to war, the Pearl Harbor attack, and discusses the development of the early pursuit planes – P-26 to P-39. It talks about the use of airmen as infantry (Bataan), the economy of 1941, and more. I commissioned several artists to create original illustrations and obtained permission of professional artist to use some of their work. I also used many images from government achieves. I researched my personal library, the internet, and the huge USMC Grey Research Center at Quantico, VA. I also consulted with subject matter experts in other nations, example Sweden and Germany. It is historical accurate, interesting and informative. I created the Little Friends series in part as a labor of love. My father, all eleven uncles, and a few first cousins were WWII veterans. I grew up listening to their experiences. As I said in the book, I certainly hope I’ve paid them proper homage.

I used the Spanish Civil War their being and accented their development in Burma. Some of the planes discussed include the A-24, -25, -27, -31/-35, and -35. Also talk about Howard Hughes' attempts to become a supplier of military aircraft - the A-37. The technology section discusses the development of aviation fuels and my home front section focuses on "their music.
