When Jane Sutcliffe sets out to write a book about William Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre, in her own words, she runs into a problem: Will's words keep popping up all over the place! What's an author to do? After all, Will is responsible for such familiar phrases as "what's done is done" and "too much of a good thing." He even helped turn "household words" into household words. But, Jane embraces her dilemma, writing about Shakespeare, his plays, and his famous phrases with glee. After all, what better words are there to use to write about the greatest writer in the English language than his very own? As readers will discover, "the long and the short of it" is this: Will changed the English language forever. Backmatter includes an author’s note, a bibliography, and a timeline.

The power of words has rarely been given a more compelling demonstration than in the Gettysburg Address. Lincoln was asked to memorialize the gruesome battle. Instead, he gave the whole nation "a new birth of freedom" in the space of a mere 272 words. His entire life and previous training, and his deep political experience went into this, his revolutionary masterpiece. By examining both the address and Lincoln in their historical moment and cultural frame, Wills breathes new life into words we thought we knew, and reveals much about a president so mythologized but often misunderstood. Wills shows how Lincoln came to change the world and to effect an intellectual revolution, how his words had to and did complete the work of the guns, and how Lincoln wove a spell that has not yet been broken.

Succession, Wills and Probate is an ideal textbook for those taking an undergraduate course in this surprisingly vibrant subject, and also provides a clear and comprehensive introduction for professionals. Against an account of the main social and political themes of succession law, the book gives detailed explanations of core topics such as alternatives to wills and the making, altering and revocation of wills. It also explains personal representatives and how they should deal with a deceased person's estate and interpret and implement the will. Gifts may fail, estates may be insolvent or a person may die intestate, without a will at all. Increasingly relatives and others seek to challenge the will, for example on the grounds of the testator's capacity or under the law of family provision. This third edition is edited, updated and revised to take account of new legislation and case law across all the relevant issues, including a new final chapter dealing with the potentially contentious issues that are becoming more central to professional work in the field of succession.

WORDS OF LOVE Some may be skeptical that poets could still be writing love poems. After all, for centuries romantics have been expressing their thoughts in verse and rhyme and surely we should have run out of couplets and soliloquies by now. However, the Greeks have five words for love that when coupled with the endless combinations and types of lovers, provides the poet with endless possibilities.They are all displayed here in one form or another, each one making its own fragile attempt at explaining that elusive feeling, love. Jim McGregor Feature writer for the Langley Times Newspaper THE OBEDIENCE FACTOR "WOW" is what came to mind the moment I read the first page of "The Obedience Factor" section. This compelling story grabs you from the beginning and helps you understand what real lonliness and rejection feels like. When you finish this section of "WORDS OF LOVE" you will realize nothing is impossible with God. Dr. Tom Leding Author of eleven best selling books, including 'Rags to Riches." The making of a King" and many others.
