Dramatic coastlines, rolling hills, and verdant olive groves: Spain is a land of contrasts, its varied architecture and gardens a result of many influences through the centuries. Over 400 color photographs reveal the diversity and magnificence of Spain's heritage. A patio garden with trickling fountains combines Islamic traditions and Roman design. Monumental city walls date back as far as the eleventh century, and whitewashed buildings dot the remote countryside of the central tablelands. Everywhere, the image of the bull--a national symbol--appears, in exquisitely crafted bronze fountainheads and fine iron rings decorating doors. In Catalonia, houses with colorful facades line the waterfront, home to one of the most perfectly restored Jewish quarters in Europe; while lofty arcades rise in Gothic churches. Here, Islamic minarets adorn Christian cathedrals, and Moorish fortresses loom. From silverwork and ornate interiors to large, lush gardens: it's an unforgettable tour through a unique country. 256 pages, 400 color illus., 10 1/8 x 10.

Jesus of Nazareth was the greatest miracle worker to ever walk the earth. During His earthly ministry, He made the lame to walk and the blind to see. He cleansed the lepers, and raised the dead. He walked on the sea, calmed raging storms, and turned water into wine. These mighty works prove that He is indeed the Messiah, the Son of God, and the Saviour of the world. These thirty-seven devotional lessons are intended to aid in the study of Christ’s miracles, show their deep spiritual meanings, and apply their truths to the Christian life. The authors pray that the reader will be blessed.

Alison was a vulnerable mentally ill young woman who was taken advantage of by an older male nurse. She became pregnant and a crisis abortion was arranged by staff at the NHS mental health hospital where she was a patient. The details of what happened were hidden and Alison emerged from the care of the NHS more damaged than when she had been admitted. She took her life on what would have been her child's third birthday. Though the names are known, no one has ever been held accountable for the crimes committed against her. In their quest for truth, accountability and justice that has stretched over three decades, Alison's family have been misled, lied to and failed by the NHS, the Police and Crown Prosecution Service. This true and at times barely believable story is one of ordinary people, showing extraordinary determination and courage. It is an unconventional honest and deeply personal attempt to bring what has been hidden into the light for all to see. It is a story of the abuse of power, the hiding of wrongdoing, and a fight for the truth that is not yet over. "Insightful, compelling and disturbing." - John Seddon. "A very valuable reminder that, at its worst, and even with the best of intent to begin with, our experience of a really bad bureaucracy can be no different from tyranny." - Rory Sutherland. "Alison's death raises very important questions about safeguarding and the exploitation of vulnerable people who are in receipt of mental health services. The ongoing struggle her family have experienced in accessing truth and justice is one faced by too many bereaved people in the UK to this day. This book is an important reflection on that struggle, and on the defensiveness of public services who failed Alison when she needed them most." - Deborah Coles, Executive Director, INQUEST.
