Lethal Options is meant to be a double entendre, encompassing both the options that people have in life and the mistakes they make in choosing from them, as well as stock options whose promise of quick wealth also can make people choose their fates badlyeven lethally. Two brothers, Johnny and Tommy Gavella, grow up in a poor immigrant Italian family in a tough city with apparently very different outcomes. Johnny turns to crime at a young age, convinced that this lifestyle is the right one for him, giving him the opportunity to be bold and rich, as well as independent from a family he finds embarrassing and stifling. Precepts that he garners from a fathers tough love and a twisted sense of justice and fairness fuel his drive toward a lifetime of crime. He pursues the company of a gang of young toughs led by Tony Poloso and proves to them that he is worthy of their trust and respect. Eventually, he makes his way to North Carolina, leaving his successful, unlawful career as well as his family behind. Now, eight years later, he is summoned back home because of his mothers serious illness. During his return, we learn much more about Johnny and his motives, his affair with Tommys girlfriend Rosalie, and his surprising provenance. His mother Maria tells him of her youth in Italy and her own passion for a young Baron who was brutally murdered, her revenge on the murderer and the stunning, surprising meaning it has for Johnny. Tommy wants to emulate his brother while growing up but is forced by Johnny, his family and circumstances to be the legitimate success of the Gavellas. He studies hard, goes to college and ends up with both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees, becoming the Vice President for Research and Development at Calara Pharmaceuticals. Leading an outwardly successful life, he finds himself in debt for a large amount due to a foolish, though perfectly honest, mistake in playing the stock market. In financial desperation, he obtains a loan from Johnnys old criminal protg Tony Poloso in return for a promise that they would both become extremely wealthy on stock options and a dramatic increase in Tommys companys value when the drug he is developing for them is approved for marketing. However, Tommy knows that the drug has severe safety problems and that the only way it would ever be approved would be to falsify data to make it appear safe and effective. In a clever scheme, he arranges to control the clinical trial for the new drug by essentially inventing patients but covering it up in a manner that appears to be foolproof. Unfortunately, a suspicious friend and a disgruntled employee eventually reveal the scheme and Tommys future comes crashing down with attendant, horrible consequences for him as a consequence of his now bad debt to Poloso.. During this time, Johnny is drawn into Tommys difficulties and obliged to make some difficult decisions about himself and his future. He is torn by his feelings toward Tommys wife Rosalie, his new and shocking knowledge about his mothers past and his own heritage, and a moral dilemma between his family obligations and a return to a past life that he thought was safely buried. Love, hate, pride, deception, sex, desire, money and murder, all options that are freely chosen and whose consequences surprise and sadden.

A Dark History of Chocolate looks at our long relationship with this ancient ‘food of the Gods’. The book examines the impact of the cocoa bean trade on the economies of Britain and the rest of Europe, as well as its influence on health, cultural and social trends over the centuries. Renowned food historian Emma Kay takes a look behind the façade of chocolate – first as a hot drink and then as a sweet – delving into the murky and mysterious aspects of its phenomenal global growth, from a much-prized hot beverage in pre-Colombian Central America to becoming an integral part of the cultural fabric of modern life. From the seductive corridors of Versailles, serial killers, witchcraft, medicine and war to its manufacturers, the street sellers, criminal gangs, explorers and the arts, chocolate has played a significant role in some of the world’s deadliest and gruesome histories. If you thought chocolate was all Easter bunnies, romance and gratuity, then you only know half the story. This most ancient of foods has a heritage rooted in exploitation, temptation and mystery. With the power to be both life-giving and ruinous.

Dictionary of the British English Spelling System by Greg Brooks Pdf
This book will tell all you need to know about British English spelling. It's a reference work intended for anyone interested in the English language, especially those who teach it, whatever the age or mother tongue of their students. It will be particularly useful to those wishing to produce well-designed materials for teaching initial literacy via phonics, for teaching English as a foreign or second language, and for teacher training. English spelling is notoriously complicated and difficult to learn; it is correctly described as much less regular and predictable than any other alphabetic orthography. However, there is more regularity in the English spelling system than is generally appreciated. This book provides, for the first time, a thorough account of the whole complex system. It does so by describing how phonemes relate to graphemes and vice versa. It enables searches for particular words, so that one can easily find, not the meanings or pronunciations of words, but the other words with which those with unusual phoneme-grapheme/grapheme-phoneme correspondences keep company. Other unique features of this book include teacher-friendly lists of correspondences and various regularities not described by previous authorities, for example the strong tendency for the letter-name vowel phonemes (the names of the letters ) to be spelt with those single letters in non-final syllables.

But it’s not so easy to explain some of the other curious things that start happening in Gabe’s neighborhood. Why is his father more melancholy than usual?

With his trademark humor and flawless ear for the language and concerns of young adults, Daniel Hayes has created an unforgettable cast of characters in a story that is part comedy, part mystery, and part a thought-provoking exploration of friendship, family relationships, love, and death.
“An extraordinary real picture of human beings numbed by catastrophe but still driven by the unconquerable determination of living creatures to keep on being alive.” —The New Yorker “Alas, Babylon.” Those fateful words heralded the end. When the unthinkable nightmare of nuclear holocaust ravaged the United States, it was instant death for tens of millions of people; for survivors, it was a nightmare of hunger, sickness, and brutality. Overnight, a thousand years of civilization were stripped away. But for one small Florida town, miraculously spared against all the odds, the struggle was only just beginning, as the isolated survivors—men and women of all ages and races—found the courage to come together and confront the harrowing darkness. This classic apocalyptic novel by Pat Frank, first published in 1959 at the height of the Cold War, includes an introduction by award-winning science fiction writer and scientist David Brin.
