Think Twin Peaks, with a heavy dose of Tennessee Williams  and a dash of Agatha Christie, and you will be somewhere on the way to  Lydia Tilden Bigelow’s The Live Oak Motel.    The Live Oak Motel, located in Progress, Georgia, is the scene  of a murder that affects the lives of the motel’s nine permanent  residents in ways none of them could have imagined. As we weave in and  out of different tales, a gentle satire develops, and nothing is  sacred!    Lydia Tilden Bigelow combines sharp humor with a penetrative  understanding of the human makeup, stripping away the outer shell of  reality and revealing the bare, and often hilarious, truth.    From life in the South, to the literary traditions of detective  fiction, nothing escapes Lydia Tilden Bigelow’s keen observation  and earthy wit.

Humor & Satire

A heartbreaking story of an American family and the impact it had on the children’s life. Without a strong, loving foundation to nurture and nourish the parent’s relationship, the weakening and crippling effects are transposed to the children preventing normal emotional development. The author explores a broken ‘American’ family raised in an environment devoid of love, and the aftermath that it fosters. The children become insensitive, greed becomes the dominating factor, and the siblings do not develop a bonding relationship amongst themselves, instead they remain detached from one another. The author conveys the need for families to form strong bonds, and bring back ‘love’ into their relationships to prevent further deteriorating of the American family.

The Landscape of a Mind

A torrent's course does not depend on the water; it is latent in the mountain's topography. What controls a man's destiny? There is no virtue without vice; just as there is no gold without impurity. Therefore, when one acquires a virtue, does he not acquire a vice too? Such are the musings and reflections in The Landscape of a Mind. In this profoundly introspective collection of thoughts, gathered in journal entries and correspondence with friends, Tohon questions the essence of human nature, the obscure workings of the human mind and the heart, and mulls over the meaning of good and evil, the implications of the self and ego, and the concepts of free will and choice, destiny and fate. A considerable amount of ground to cover, but Tohon's personalised and conversational tone, as well as his use of an approach that is very much rooted in the Eastern philosophies, makes this piece an enjoyable exchange of thoughts, ideas and beliefs between humanists and philosophers on a very much global level.

None of the shocks that have hit Sri Lanka since the British left in 1948 - including the devastation of December 2004 - could have been foreseen by the people of the island, once a Garden of Eden in the Indian Ocean. Dr Mahen Tampoe's speciality is management, and here he paints a vivid picture of a mismanaged state - a nation united by its colonisers, then split apart by racial discrimination, internecine strife, suicide bombers, dispossession and undeserved poverty.  What on earth (it certainly wasn't in heaven) made the newly independent government of the 1950s establish the Buddhist/Sinhalese group as the dominant element, relegating the Tamils of the north, and the English language, to second-class status? Why Ceylon went wrong, and what needs to be done to rectify the situation and place the island on a par with her successful multi-ethnic neighbours, Malaysia and Singapore, is the business of this book. Dr Tampoe contends that a secular, even-minded government could maintain the fragile peace, stop the bombing and lead Sri Lanka to a happy future. Just how is detailed in this elegant and scholarly work, written with an exile's sharpened pen. The book includes discussion papers exploring the governance of multi-ethnic democratic states and the origins of terrorists and suicide bombers, which can be used as self-contained supplementary texts in the study of political science and ethics.

In this comprehensive, well-researched and compelling study of abortion and the law, ethics and history surrounding it, Gavin Walsh presents a detailed and arresting argument for the sanctity of human life and our duty to defend it. Drawing on an impressive range of sources from across the spectrum of this important debate, the author deals with the fundamental legal and ethical issues at stake, identifying the controversy and dealing with the laws of Britain and America, the laws of humanity and the vast library of literature on both sides of the passionate argument. The Worst Acts of Violence is a valuable and insightful addition to the unresolved conflict, prompting a review of past analysis and reinvigorating the ongoing debate.

The shadow of evil has spread over Wizards' Kingdom, and at the centre of the web is the power-crazed warlock, Evilan. Can the three benevolent wizards - Zendal, Crasmont and young Mydar - pool all their sorcerers' energy together and rescue Lord Torsk, imprisoned by Evilan in Spellock Castle? And is Torsk all that he pretends to be? Maybe Loof, the Catchet can help them, or the weird Rock People of the Shallow Water, or Crockledam the troll. Certainly, Shim, Zendal's jet-black stallion, is a tower of strength - until a vicious Cliffkreeper strikes him down! When the despondent trio are joined by the ancient Wizard King Veltzeg, a master of shapeshift, he lifts their spirits and skill levels, and a humdinger of a fight ensues at Spellock Castle - a real battle of wits, wills and wizardry. And may the best magician win!
