This book examines Yeltsin's past, measuring his own autobiographical recollections against the record. It illuminates his rise as a political maverick who provokes contradictory feelings among Russians and foreigners alike. It also describes why the ongoing conflict between Gorbachev and Yeltsin goes to the heart of the issues that will shape the future of the Soviet Union and the balance of world power. While Gorbachev clings to the remnants of an imperial state, Yeltsin, contends Morrison, is working toward a radically restructured grouping of sovereign republics.

When Wainwright made his first visit to the Lake District in the summer of 1930, aged just twenty-three, he was unprepared for what he found when he left the train at Windermere station. 'That week changed my life,' he wrote years later. 'It was the first time that I'd looked upon beauty.' His moment of epiphany came when he viewed Lake Windermere from the vantage point of Orrest Head. Millions of people have followed in Wainwright's footsteps. Indeed, for a lot of people, Windermere is the Lake District. But even when Ambleside, Bowness, Windermere and Lakeside are heaving with visitors, there's still room to roam - on the shoreline, on the lake itself and on the fells which surround it. This book is a celebration of the lake as it is today. John Morrison's photographs capture the lake and its surroundings in many different moods: showing not just what the lake looks like, but what it feels like too.

Les Misérables, the powerful story of Jean Valjean's redemption, is beloved by readers and theatre goers everywhere. Why? Because Victor Hugo's epic novel explores, through Valjean's heroic journey and transformations, truths and delusions about politics, morality, justice, religion, and both romantic and familial love. In this invaluable companion and guide to Hugo's masterpiece author John Morrison shares with Les Miz fans the spiritual depth and breadth of this classic novel and popular Broadway musical. ~.~.~.~.~. "I've just put down your manuscript. I had not gotten far into it before I knew that I was sitting at the feet of an excellent teacher, theologian, and literary and drama critic." ~.~.~ Thomas Howard, author of C. S. Lewis: Man of Letters. ~.~.~ "This book conveys the deep spiritual meaning of a literary classic. Hugo's commentary on the social life and ills of 19th century France is timeless and becomes, through Morrison's work, a reflection on how we, the "miserable ones" of today, are called to plunge deeper into the realities of God's presence and love for all." ~ The Rev. Canon Denis C. Brunelle, Director of the George Mercer, Jr. Memorial School of Theology (M.A. Liturgy and Homiletics, M.A. Medieval Theatre History)
