Don't miss Evermore, the first book in Alyson Noël's #1 New York Times bestselling The Immortals series. Enter an enchanting new world where true love never dies. . . After a horrible accident claimed the lives of her family, sixteen-year-old Ever Bloom can see people's auras, hear their thoughts, and know someone's entire life story by touching them. Going out of her way to avoid human contact and suppress her abilities, she has been branded a freak at her new high school—but everything changes when she meets Damen Auguste. Damen is gorgeous, exotic and wealthy. He's the only one who can silence the noise and random energy in her head—wielding a magic so intense, it's as though he can peer straight into her soul. As Ever is drawn deeper into his enticing world of secrets and mystery, she's left with more questions than answers. And she has no idea just who he really is—or what he is. The only thing she knows to be true is that she's falling deeply and helplessly in love with him.

Edgar Allan Poe exerted a profound influence on many aspects of 20th century culture, and continues to inspire composers, filmmakers, writers and artists. Popularly thought of as a "horror" writer, Poe was also a philosophical aesthete, a satirist, a hoaxer, a psychologist and a prophet of the anxieties and preoccupations of the modern world. Alphabetically arranged, this book explores Poe's major works both in their own right and in terms of their impact on others, including Baudelaire, who translated his works into French; Debussy, Rachmaninoff and the Alan Parsons' Project, who set them to music; Roger Corman, Federico Fellini and Jean Epstein, who interpreted his visions for film audiences; and television shows such as The Six Million Dollar Man and Time Tunnel, which borrowed his imagery (and, in the case of The Simpsons, sent it up). A wide range of other responses to his compelling Tales of Mystery and Imagination, his poetry and the theoretical writings, combine strongly to suggest that Poe's legacy will indeed last forevermore.

'It has to start somewhere for everyone, this daft, wild, extraordinary notion that happiness is a Scottish lap of honour and that the greatest, most hysterical happiness would be a Scottish lap of honour on a World Cup final day, England having just retired to the dressing-rooms, not just beaten, but destroyed, humiliated, thrashed, gubbed . . . ' - Ian Archer First published in 1976, We'll Support You Evermore is a collection of reminiscences about the nation's favourite game. Hilarious tales of after-match celebrations and moving accounts of growing up playing football on the mean streets of Glasgow and Edinburgh rub shoulders with memories of superb victories, glorious defeats and drunken jaunts abroad. Together, these produce an entertaining portrait of Scottish supporters. Novelist Alan Sharp and Gordon Williams contribute essays, as do journalists Ian Archer, John Rafferty and Hugh Taylor among others. Each writes about his own personal recollections of the game: the Wembley Wizards, the Famous Five, Third Lanark, the Old Firm, Queen's Park, Hearts, Hibs, and many more. There's something here for every fitba'-daft reader.

Slayer of Evermore is a fast-paced fantasy action adventure filled with battles and intrigue that takes place on the planet Moniva. On this world, there are many races that use magic spells and weapons. Even so, spell-casters have been hunted and killed for nearly a century because of fear and jealousy of their power. As the book opens, a group of adventurers are brought together by Redlina half-human, half-fire-giantto quest for a magic ax known as the Slayer of Evermore. Redlin has ruled over a vast portion of the planet for centuries because of his status as a powerful magician, warrior, and smith able to produce magical weapons of unparalleled strength. Now, his rule is challenged and he has called his allies together for help. Though some of the members of the expedition are well-seasoned fighters and wizards, others are ill-prepared to participate in the adventure. Despite being the most powerful and influential king on Moniva, Redlin needs the Slayer of Evermore to defeat Thrack Morgan, an evil wizard who has been destroying Redlins allies in an attempt to conquer all the human kingdoms on the planet. As the quest begins, two great armies have amassed to do battle. Both sides need to find and claim the Slayer of Evermore in order to ensure final conflict is swayed in their favor. As the quest progresses, the party is shattered by injury, treachery, and happenstance. The ultimate success of the expedition falls to Twig and Aaron, the youngest members of the party as they learn about duty, honor, and leadership. Twig is an apprentice magician who has never been without a teacher while Aaron is a fledgling king who is not ready for the power or the responsibility of his new title. Along the way, they discover love, inner strength, and self-sacrifice. During the quest, these two realize that they must assume responsibility and control of their lives which have been manipulated by others for so long. In the end, the final outcome of the battle is decided by the deeds of these two young adventurers as they face Thrack Morgan. The reader will feel like they are part of the action as they travel along with the party of adventurers through the Forbidden Lands towards the Valley of the Dragons. The reader will join the party as they undertake an epic quest to defeat beasts and monsters, find lost relics, and save the world from Thrack Morgan and his demons. The stories of all the characters are woven together to create an entertaining and engaging story for the reader to participate in. It is easy to lose yourself in the book and see yourself standing besides the characters as enemies are battled, prizes are won, and the quest is completed.

Religious poetry is the holy of holies of literature. In all ages poets have been the interpreters of the finer feelings of humanity, and the greatest have treated the loftiest themes that can employ the mind and the heart -- the relation of man to his Maker, and the duties and privileges which arise from it. It has been the aim of the editors to make the present collection truly catholic. It embraces a body of representative poems of all ages, denominations, and countries. The authors are allowed the fullest liberty of uttering their sentiments in their own words. - Preface.

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has become famed - and often shamed - for its political power. In scholarly literature, this supranational court has been regarded as a 'master of integration' for its capacity to strengthen integration, sometimes against the will of member states. In the public debate, the CJEU has been severely criticized for extending EU competences at the expense of the member states. In An Ever More Powerful Court? The Political Constraints of Legal Integration in the European Union, Dorte Sindbjerg Martinsen challenges these views with her careful examination of how judicial-legislative interactions determine the scope and limits of European integration in the daily EU decision-making process. Methodologically, the book takes a step forward in the examination of judicial influence, suggesting a 'law attainment' approach as a novel method, combined with a large set of interviews with the current decision-makers of social Europe. Through a study of social policy developments from 1957 to 2014, as well as a critical analysis of three case studies - EU regulation of working time; patients' rights in cross-border healthcare; and EU posting of worker regulations - Martinsen reveals the dynamics behind legal and political integration and the CJEU's ability to foster political change for a European Union social policy.
