Budapest and the Bronx: Portrait of an Intermarriage is a memoir that begins in wartime Budapest and touches on dark topics-Fascism, Stalinism, antisemitism-but it is mainly about two people from radically different backgrounds who enjoyed each other's company for almost six decades. Theirs was a marriage of "true minds" because they had so many interests in common, but they did have one serious disagreement.

A brilliant and ambitious college professor, Dr. Reginald Thorne finds himself faced with a decision that has shaken his career, his family, and his religious beliefs. As his personal life unravels, he realizes that he must be true to what his heart has revealed to him.

There aren't many career opportunities in the city of Leifsburg for an exiled princess, but Theresa Kuypens has found her niche solving the upper crust's little social difficulties. When a family financial crisis leads her to take on a more underhanded piece of work, Theresa's uneventful life quickly gets turned sideways. With her client dead and a seemingly superhuman killer on her trail, she finds herself on the run along with Petra Ivanova, premier cat burglar and Theresa's best friend, and Vincent Hendriks, a former member of Theresa's royal guard with a few enemies of his own. The three of them soon find themselves caught in a deadly struggle between a megalomaniacal wizard bent on remaking the world and a band of cultists who simply want to destroy it. Saving the world will take every trick they can dream up. Surviving to tell the tale will take a miracle or two.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have more, be more, and achieve more? Do you imagine how good life could be if you could get all the values or dimensions of your life to be a strong as your most developed one?In Circle Builders, Stephen Miller explains how conventional thought has been that the human experience is lived from within a circle, what we call our own personal space. That circular space is sliced into seven pieces, each representing a different value. These seven pieces are spiritual, intellectual, emotional, family, social, fitness, and financial.Often when people attempt to grow and develop their life, or circle, they do it from a linear perspective-one issue at a time. The inevitable result will always be a lopsided circle, leaving them as a one, or at best, two-dimensional person.In this book, Stephen approaches life development holistically so that these pieces work cohesively. You will learn to: prioritize all seven values equallydevelop systems of patterns, actions, time management, and consistencygrow the circle of your life without compromising itGet ready to achieve more than you thought possible by building your circle!

In contrast to the traditional Marxist interpretation of emerging capitalism and its revolutionary bourgeoisie, State and Society in Eighteenth-Century France shows that commodified labor, fundamental to the existence of a capitalist bourgeoisie, did not take shape in eighteenth-century France. Through the revolutionary period, the mass of the population consisted of peasants and artisans in possession of land and workshops, all embedded in autonomous communities. The old regime bourgeoisie and nobility thus developed within the absolutist state in order to have the political means to impose feudal forms of exploitation on the people. These class relations, and not those offered in the traditional interpretation, gave rise to the crisis of 1789 and the revolutionary conflicts of the 1790s

In the first entirely new major biography of Dolly Parton for over 15 years, Stephen Miller goes behind the larger-than-life image to find out what makes Dolly Parton tick.A self-made woman in every sense, Dolly arrived on the Nashville scene as a solo performer bedecked with lurid outfits and exaggerated accessories designed to get her noticed. Later she would bring the same approach to rebuilding her face and figure, but behind the showbiz excesses were always the exquisite voice and an exceptional songwriting talent. Talking to Dolly's family members, musicians and producers Miller gets to the core of a remarkable woman from a poor East Tennessee background who made it in the male-dominated world of 1960s Nashville and went on to build a respectable movie career as well.The author explores Dolly's private life, especially her closely-guarded relationships with her husband of nearly forty years, Carl Dean, and her lifelong friend Judy Ogle. What emerges is a unique portrait of a strong woman who came to town looking like a burlesque hooker but who took control of her life, her music and her career with resolute determination.

Both collectively and individually we have a deep and abiding fascination with angels. This book explores depictions of angels in the visual arts and in scripture and associated apocryphal and mystical writings, specifically in the Hebrew and Christian Bibles and Islamic, Zoroastrian and other ancient and latter-day accounts. It examines the visual clues, artistic conventions and attributes that have been set down to help us to recognise angels in their particular roles and functions. Certain writings have had a particularly influential bearing on our understanding of angels. This text focuses on the hierarchies and orders proposed by the likes of Pseudo-Dionysius, St. Thomas Aquinas and others. In a new age of fascination with the metaphysical and supernatural (in film, television, popular mythology and literature), are we cementing or losing our connection with the authentic meaning and purpose that such vibrant and energised beings bring to our table? This book contains more than 30 illustrations in a central colour plates section. It also includes a useful glossary of terms and will prove a rich and enduring reference resource for libraries, as well as a stimulating go-to source for those interested in the world of angels and how human sensibilities and imaginative reasoning have enriched the subject, as a starting point for interreligious dialogue.
