This one-volume history of 300 years of the Royal Marines reveals the story behind their historical fortitude and gallantry. It is published to tie in with the bicentenary of the Marines receiving the distinction "Royal". Richard Brooks specialized in Military History and Theory of War at Oxford.

The book of Revelation is the glorious culmination of Scripture. Everything focuses on the one who is the Lord of glory Jesus Christ. As Joel Beeke observes, 'Richard Brooks comes afresh to the message of Revelation with a warm, pastoral exposition that feeds the hearts as well as the mind of the reader. This volume is practical, clearly written, and easy to understand. Above all, it points us to the glorious victory that awaits all those who faithfully follow the Lamb of God'. 
 The interpretation of the book of Revelation has led to a vast array of prophetical and historical schemes that have deterred many Christians from serious study. This volume will help prevent us from being deterred. The visions are clearly explained, and there is, throughout, good application.

Lamentations is not familiar territory for many Christians, yet it deals searchingly with abiding themes such as the spiritual glory of the church and the tragedy when this is lost. It is a book that speaks directly to the confused Christianity and evangelicalism of our present day. The author applies the lessons of backsliding Judah to contemporary Christianity, reminding us of God 's love. Richard Brooks' warm and pastoral exposition reminds members of the church of Christ to examine themselves and take encouragement. 'Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.'

From Captain Cook's voyage of discovery to the Boxer Rebellion, the beaches of Normandy, the assault at Suez, and hazardous duty in the Arctic waters, the Royal Marines have served the British Empire for more than 300 years with exceptional gallantry. Drawing extensively on the largely unpublished records at the Royal Marines Museum in Portsmouth, England, this absorbing book tells the story of these soldiers of the sea from their origins in the era of Charles II to the present. A fascinating assortment of official accounts, personal journals, and individual letters bring to life this versatile service that survived not only the ravages of battles, but also the constant threat of dissolution during defense cutbacks. The Royal Marine's willingness to undertake almost any job, including ship's butcher and naval bandsman, and their ability to fight in disparate environments have helped to insure their place in history. This wide-ranging chronicle both informs and entertains.

Suitable for use in combination with any law school contract text or casebook, the 2007 Edition of Selections for Contracts: Statutes, Restatement Second, Forms compiles the major statutes, forms, and other materials affecting contract law. The supplement provides Uniform Commercial Code Articles 1 and 2; the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act; Restatement of the Law, Second, of Contracts; the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts; and selected forms. Highlights of the 2007 Edition include: The presentation of Article 1 of the Uniform Commercial Code has been reorganized inasmuch as more than half of the states have now enacted revised Article 1. Both versions of Article 1 are presented. In each case, though, the presentation is abridged by the elision of provisions not relevant to contract law under the Uniform Commercial Code. As in previous editions, both the current version of Article 2 and the proposed amendments promulgated in 2003 are included. The presentation of the proposed amendments has been clarified by indicating proposed changes from current law by underlines and strikeouts. In addition, recent technical amendments to the text of the proposed amendments have been incorporated. Of course, in light of the failure (to date) of states to enact the proposed amendments, the main educational role served by their inclusion in the materials is to enable "compare and contrast" discussions rather than to exemplify the current state of the law. Materials on electronic commerce (the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and the federal ESIGN Act) have been added. The presentation of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts has been updated to reflect the current version. New section on Selected Contracts and Agreements providing actual contracts from well-known cases, such as Wood v. Lucy, Peevyhouse v. Garland Coal Mining Co., Dalton v. ETS, and Bloor v. Falstaff Brewing Co.

Hebrews is chiefly, pre-eminently, gloriously about the Lord Jesus Christ...his, and his alone, is the name high over all. The entire book (as is the case for the entire Bible) is concerned to set forth the Second Person of the Godhead, in the fullness of his glory and majesty, his grace and his tenderness...there is a clear focus upon both Jesus' deity and his humanity, the great mystery of his two complete, perfect and distinct natures in his one person. Here awaiting us in Hebrews are 'the unsearchable riches of Christ' (Ephesians 3:8). Here set before us in richness and fullness is God's 'inexpressible gift' (2 Corinthians 9:15). Here to our delight is the one who 'is altogether desirable' (Song of Songs 5:16).
