Senator Charles "Mac" Mathias was a lifelong Republican who won every election in a 26-year congressional career in heavily Democratic Maryland. A courageous risk-taker, Mathias led efforts to advance civil rights, voting rights, environmental initiatives to clean up the Chesapeake Bay, and establish the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. On foreign policy, he was an early critic of the Vietnam War and a consistent advocate for nuclear arms control, Middle East peace and sanctions against apartheid South Africa. His story, captured here by senior staff members, members of Congress and others, is an inspiring example of what a courageous political leader can do when he follows his conscience and is acts on principle. His remarkable career is a stark reminder of the days when the Republican Party stood for the rule of law, respect for the Constitution and a bipartisan foreign policy.

Englands unique response to war was mind-blowing, but now that Americas comeback is almost complete Britain is in for a cruel and frightful surprise. The early days of Nicki's creation were slow and intense, but now progression is moving much faster than originally thought possible and her mechanics have proved to be far more dynamic than expected. America may have lost the recent battle, but the war has just begun. The president has blindly refused to accept defeat by creating a sneaky tactic of targeted mass destruction that he plans to unleash and once America's short lived containment is breeched, his journey for more power can continue.

However, there are many forces at work, so if England is to survive the most brutal invasion of torture and savagery, they will need help from the greatest gamer that ever lived. For good reason he will not come willingly, so England are left no other choice but to bend the rules with trickery and deceit. The journey for Mathias quickly grows deeper than he ever could have imagined, as his past will unexpectedly catch up with him and reopen some slow healing wounds that are sure to cause him problems. His astonishing powers are truly pushed to breaking point and this unthinkable torture, will either make him, or break him, so can this unlikely hero bring an end to the worlds terrine, or is he simply prolonging the inevitable.

"I know the suffering and pain which sickness involves. I admit the misery and wretchedness which it often brings. But I cannot regard it as completely evil."— JC Ryle Sickness affects everyone personally at some time. In this powerful yet comforting Christian perspective, the 19th-century Bishop of Liverpool, JC Ryle, offers some timely biblical wisdom about this universal human problem. This work has been edited in such a way as to retain Ryle's writing style, but some of the language has been updated and simplified so as to make it easier for the modern reader. This short (24 page) booklet is an ideal resource for pastoral ministry.

The first major work in English on Mathias Goeritz (1915-1990), this book illuminates the artist's pivotal role within the landscape of twentieth-century modernism. Goeritz became recognized as an abstract sculptor after arriving in Mexico from Germany by way of Spain in 1949. His call to integrate abstract forms into civic and religious architecture, outlined in his "Emotional Architecture" manifesto, had a transformative impact on midcentury Mexican art and design. While best known for the experimental museum El Eco and his collaborations with the architect Luis Barrag n, including the brightly colored towers of Satellite City, Goeritz also shaped the Bauhaus-inspired curriculum at Guadalajara's School of Architecture and the iconic Cultural Program of Mexico City's 1968 Olympic Games. Josten addresses the Cold War implications of these and other initiatives that pitted Goeritz, an advocate of internationalist abstraction, against Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros, ardent defenders of the realist style that prevailed in official Mexican art during the postrevolutionary period. Exploring Goeritz's dialogues with leading figures among the Parisian and New York avant-gardes, such as Yves Klein and Philip Johnson, Josten shows how Goeritz's approach to modernism, which was highly attuned to politics and place, formed part of a global enterprise.

Lara Schrijver examines the work of Oswald Mathias Ungers and Rem Koolhaas as intellectual legacy of the 1970s for architecture today. Particularly in the United States, this period focused on the autonomy of architecture as a correction to the social orientation of the 1960s. Yet, these two architects pioneered a more situated autonomy, initiating an intellectual discourse on architecture that was inherently design-based. Their work provides room for interpreting social conditions and disciplinary formal developments, thus constructing a `plausible' relationship between the two that allows the life within to flourish and adapt. In doing so, they provide a foundation for recalibrating architecture today.
