Deep in the heart of Eastshire there is a valley. Whatever name might be given to it in the proper geographies, it is know to most, if not all, of the people of the Shire as The Dark Valley. This Dark Valley is located in the most remote district of Eastshire. It is sparsely populated. Indeed the population consists of but a handful of families. These families have lived apart from the other people of Eastshire for uncounted generations. The same isolation holds for the cats who live there. And it is the cats and one special cat of the Dark Valley that constitute the very heart of this story. This particular cat proves to be The Invidia of Jack of Tabbyshire. To the ancients the Greeks and Romans the Invidia held a special place, somewhat akin to the better-known Nemesis. But, where the Nemesis is the agent of the gods in fighting Hubris and enforcing Justice, Invidia embodies the Envy and Jealousy that evidences itself in a dog in the manger or what is yours should have been mine attitude and life style. And Jack does have his Invidia. In this tale he will encounter his Invidia. How will he counter his Invidia? Can he? Or, will he need some help help from an unexpected source? This tale recounts this final mission of our Lord Jack of Tabbyshire.

After stopping the General and his team of vigilantes, expanding the Elements team and almost losing his first love, will the Big Apple really offer Reagan Jameson a chance to relax when their lives are put in jeopardy? Having received a call from the United Nations, inviting them to New York City to discuss broadening their protection detail, the Elements must decide if they are in a position to do so. With their relationships being tested continually, two team members will inevitably walk out on their friends, team members and the Elements, not before a terrorist boards their plane. For Reagan, however, explosive friends and suicide bombers are just a few things playing on his mind. Still reeling from his stint with Mackenna Pierce, that effectively put his relationship in jeopardy, he learns his true parentage, what Crystallic had in store all along and the discovery of a long lost Jameson, whilst keeping up appearances for the media. The pace of The Elements Series is increased exponentially in this installment of Deadliest Sin, whereby the Elements' lives will be put at risk within the first ten pages. Each character will be pushed beyond their limits and explored in more detail, to better understand why we love or hate them so much. Deadliest Sin will offer more twists than Green Hope and Spirited Vigilante combined, to prepare you for the greatest shock of all - the true identity of the Jameson twins' parents.

It includes a detailed description of all major recruiting organizations for UK health professionals, who they're looking for and their application process. Uniquely it not only focuses on the individual, but also the 'host' country and health system. How can your time overseas benefit rather than burden your host country?

In the midst of academic debates about the utility of the term “magic” and the cultural meaning of ancient words like mageia or khesheph, this Guide to the Study of Ancient Magic seeks to advance the discussion by separating out three topics essential to the very idea of magic. The three major sections of this volume address (1) indigenous terminologies for ambiguous or illicit ritual in antiquity; (2) the ancient texts, manuals, and artifacts commonly designated “magical” or used to represent ancient magic; and (3) a series of contexts, from the written word to materiality itself, to which the term “magic” might usefully pertain. The individual essays in this volume cover most of Mediterranean and Near Eastern antiquity, with essays by both established and emergent scholars of ancient religions. In a burgeoning field of “magic studies” trying both to preserve and to justify critically the category itself, this volume brings new clarity and provocative insights. This will be an indispensable resource to all interested in magic in the Bible and the Ancient Near East, ancient Greece and Rome, Early Christianity and Judaism, Egypt through the Christian period, and also comparative and critical theory. Contributors are: Magali Bailliot, Gideon Bohak, Véronique Dasen, Albert de Jong, Jacco Dieleman, Esther Eidinow, David Frankfurter, Fritz Graf, Yuval Harari, Naomi Janowitz, Sarah Iles Johnston, Roy D.
