Quo Vadis is the tale of a Roman general in Nero's army in the first century A.D. who risks everything when he falls in love with a Christian woman. This classic novel reveals a divided society. On one side is Rome's aristocracy, the picture of godless extravagance and excess. On the other are the city's persecuted Christians, vilified and thrown to lions as scapegoats for the burning of Rome.

Quotes from this Book Spain brought nothing to the New World except the horse and Roman Catholicism.... The French wished to expand; the Spanish wished to hold on to everything they could; the Dutch wished to be left alone; the English planters wished to make money, at whose expense was irrelevant; and the English Government also wished to make money at the expense of the English planters in a chain of exploitation irrespective of place and people. ....Thus, the only way in which whites can protect their economic power is to accommodate to black political power which means the weakening of social distinctions associated with race. ....Its general, the Garveyite Africanist orientation did not sufficiently appreciate that it was impossible to restore a racial and tribal community and continuity violently broken for more than two hundred years. ....Jamaican Democratic Socialism and Guyanese Cooperative Socialism can be directly traced to the appeal to the trade unions for mass support....Party politics ante-dated organized unionism in Trinidad, thus Eric Williams' collective nationalism. ....Barbadian conservatism can be traced to its apparent socio-psychological difference from the other states of the area. ....The economy of the country floundered, and the country remained in tact by massive foreign borrowing from willing lenders.... There also seems to be a creeping social and moral malaise in the country. ..".we obviously will have to find some means whereby the problem of trade in the world is made the subject of political management by agreement." .... The intellectuals of the Caribbean are at arms with frustrations due to the lack of vision of their governments in implementing meaningful and cohesive policies for the national good. ....Even the concept of MDCs and LDCs is being questioned.... Conflict also exists between CARICOM states with different natural resource endowments like oil and gas rich Trinidad and Tobago and the Windward Islands over the banana issue. .... The question that must be asked is: Is CARICOM running behind the metaphoric bus? ....The Commonwealth Caribbean States should individually and collectively forge economic relations with Brazil in the vast area of the manufacturing of parts for various goods especially in light manufacturing.

More than 6 million copies sold! The classic Christian novel of the crucifixion and one Roman soldier’s transformation through faith. At the height of his popularity, Lloyd C. Douglas was receiving an average of one hundred letters a week from fans. One of those fans, a department store clerk in Ohio named Hazel McCann, wrote to Douglas asking what he thought had happened to Christ’s garments after the crucifixion. Douglas immediately began working on The Robe, sending each chapter to Hazel as he finished it. It is to her that Douglas dedicated this book. A Roman soldier wins Christ’s robe as a gambling prize. He then sets forth on a quest to find the truth about the Nazarene—a quest that reaches to the very roots and heart of Christianity. Here is the fascinating story of this young Roman soldier, Marcellus, who was in charge at the crucifixion of Jesus. After he won Christ’s robe in a game of dice on Calvary, he experienced a slow and overpowering change in his life. Through the pages of this great book, the reader sees how a pagan Roman was eventually converted to Christ. Set against the vividly drawn background of ancient Rome, this is a timeless story of adventure, faith, and romance, a tale of spiritual longing and ultimate redemption . . .

“A well-researched and thorough book examining what the author finds to be a unique facet of film music of the late 1940s and early 1950s.” —Soundtrax Lavish musical soundtracks contributed a special grandeur to the new widescreen, stereophonic sound movie experience of postwar biblical epics such as Samson and Delilah, Ben-Hur, and Quo Vadis. In Epic Sound, Stephen C. Meyer shows how music was utilized for various effects, sometimes serving as a vehicle for narrative plot and at times complicating biblical and cinematic interpretation. In this way, the soundscapes of these films reflected the ideological and aesthetic tensions within the genre, and more generally, within postwar American society. By examining key biblical films, Meyer adeptly engages musicology with film studies to explore cinematic interpretations of the Bible during the 1940s through the 1960s. “A major contribution to the field of film music studies and ought to be widely read by musicologists with an interest in film. Really, it ought to be read by film scholars as well: although the depth of Meyer’s engagement with the music is felt on almost every page, this is also a powerfully sustained exploration of the biblical epic as a film genre.” —American Music “Meyer’s clear and articulate study promises to be a welcome addition to the reading list of anyone interested not just in film but in mid-century music history.” —Journal of the Society for American Music “An ambitious and fascinating book.” —James Buhler, The University of Texas at Austin

This proceedings volume combines chapters derived from papers presented at the 4th and 5th Annual Conferences on the Future of the Commercial Contract in Scholarship and Law Reform. This ongoing research project brings together scholars from all over the world at an annual international conference in London. The book focusses on technology in commercial contract law as well as on sustainability in commercial contracts. The latter theme was inspired by the United Nations' climate conference that was to take place in Glasgow in the United Kingdom that same year. The book combines topical current issues in commercial contract law and practice organized in three parts. The first part contains contributions to the area of law and technology. The second part of the book expands on aspects of sustainability understood as environmental reasonableness in the context of commercial contracts. The third part includes several chapters on the topics of supervening events and contractual ethics. This book is therefore part of a coherent line of contributions to the furthering of modern contract theory. The choice of topics is closely following current issues of legal policy and contract practice.

Presenting a modest down to earth philosophical point of departure for boundless allegorical interpretation of the self-evident global reality of unexplained sightings in the skies, in the waters and on the land and by inference mysterious entities of unknown origins, whereabouts, capabilities, inabilities, motivations and intentions. "We have as such simply no way of saying or describing exactly what they are other than that they are in some way of the category of living beings like ourselves; like all things living on this planet: except they are not. They are beyond this planet's categories of being; of existence and as such do not lend themselves in any way to our traditional hand-me-down terrestrial definitions." In the lockdown year of 2021, a certain Rabbi Moshe ben Avraham came and put this question to the legendary Irish nuptial recluse Intinn Mhór: What if the Exodus never took place; that never was there a forty-years of wandering in the Sinai desert or an entering and taking over of the Land of Canaan? An Imam Muhammad of Makkah al-Mukarramah asked him how the people of Ireland might be more effectively introduced to true Islam. A Roman Catholic priest setting out on missionary work to of all places the People's Republic of China wished to receive from him some pearls of wisdom. An unknown woman who being quite enamoured of him wanted to know how he fasts his mind from thinking about his wife's body: thinking about passionately making love with her. These are some of the many intriguing questions and concerns addressed in this refreshingly fertile work. Amazed you will be by the depth of discernment found in the answers. For instance, Intinn Mhór gives the following answer to a Chief Medical Advisor who is imploring him to have himself inoculated against a certain disease: ". . . I cannot ask my body to take a substance that is only winging it: masquerading itself as a vaccine. And of all things, I don't wish to be treated as a test case for opportunistic pharmaceutical companies . . . What is being peddled out there around the world is nothing short of a crime against humanity where national and international codes of ethics are being cast wholesale to oblivion . . ." Also featured are 32 pages of original digital illustrations done by the author - illustrations suggestive of unidentified aerial phenomena in daytime skies.
