Sinopse

'On the City Wall' is a short story written by Rudyard Kipling, a British author best-remembered today for his novel, 'The Jungle Book'. The story centers on Lalun, a beautiful and talented woman, who lives and entertains along the city way of Lahore, India. Visited by many men, one named Wali Dad is especially friendly. Wali Dad has had an English education and feels uncomfortably placed between the European and English worlds. As the story continues, the reader gets an introduction to a leader Khem Singh, someone who may disrupt British rule in India.

    Society tells us all sorts of lies: "I've got my truth, you've got yours"; "Death is the end"; "I can't ever change"; "Jesus isn't relevant." 
     
     
     
    By approaching these common-held beliefs, author and evangelist J. Mack Stiles comes alongside listeners to explain the flaw in society's thinking and shows how Jesus responds to these untruths. Each lie is held alongside an encounter that Jesus had in the Gospels and takes the listener directly to Jesus's words and actions. 
     
     
     
    Aimed at the questioning inquirer, this book will help listeners understand the relevance of Jesus in today's culture.

    ‘Stop screaming, I’m scared too!’ is not what you’d expect to see on the back of a loadmaster’s helmet in a Chinook helicopter flying over southern Afghanistan, but for Rod Henderson it sums up his 22 years of service as a soldier in the Australian Army. 
     
    During the busiest period in the Army’s history, Rod was deployed to East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan and Afghanistan. In Australia, he was involved in counter terrorism operations and disaster recovery. From an infantry paratrooper, to Chinook loadmaster and Black Hawk door gunner, Rod reveals an enthralling and unique perspective of service. 
     
    Whether it is ‘right place wrong time’ or just unlucky, he found himself in a series of life threatening and traumatic events. Each one took a toll. Accepting the physical injuries and mental health challenges from his service, Rod found healing in the hallowed halls of the Australian War Memorial. 
     
    This is not the story of a general or a Special Forces hero. It is the extraordinary memoir of a regular Australian soldier. Like so many others who have served their country with honour and distinction, the little-known stories of ordinary soldiers deserve to be told.  
     
    In Stop Screaming, I’m Scared Too, Rod reveals the depth of his soldiering experiences with humour, humility, self-reflection and honesty. 
     
    ‘This book is part Chickenhawk and part Exit Wounds … a powerful and timely contribution to a nation’s understanding of what we ask of our service men and women and the debt we owe …’ MATT ANDERSON PSM, Director, Australian War Memorial

    Principles of Economics was a leading economics textbook of Alfred Marshall (1842-1924), first published in 1890. Marshall began writing the Principles of Economics in 1881 and he spent much of the next decade at work on the treatise. His plan for the work gradually extended to a two-volume compilation on the whole of economic thought.The first volume was published in 1890 to worldwide acclaim that established him as one of the leading economists of his time. It brought the ideas of supply and demand, of marginal utility and of the costs of production into a coherent whole, and became the dominant economic textbook in England for a long period. The second volume, which was to address foreign trade, money, trade fluctuations, taxation, and collectivism, was never published at all. (Wikipedia).This reading is based on the eighth edition, published in 1920.
