Greek tragedy has never been so funny Zozimos' journey to the kingdom of Sticatha has been anything but smooth. He's survived enslavement, battled golems and a ravenous Cyclops, and generally served as plaything to gods and goddesses looking for a good laugh. All for the sake of reclaiming the Sticathan royal throne--stolen from him by an evil witch, aka his stepmother. You'd think that a stickman would catch a break after all that, but you'd be wrong. Arriving home only brings crazy family members and a return trip to sea, where mercenary centaurs and giant boar gods keep Zozimos questing and readers laughing. It would all be an epic tragedy if it wasn't so funny.

Eighteen-year-old Christopher, who plans to be a spy, learns of a murder cover-up through his summer job as a morgue assistant and teams up with Tina, a gorgeous newspaper reporter, to investigate, despite great danger.

Mr. Mustache lives in a small town. He enjoys all the activities seven-year-old boys love to do like running, swimming, and bicycling. But most of all, Mr. Mustache likes to learn about new and exciting things, like the circus that has just come into town! Mr. Mustache has never been to the circus. After he receives tickets from a lion tamer, he sets off on an adventure to the big top where he hopes to see all the exciting circus acts. As the lights dim, a spotlight shines on the barker, and the circus begins, Mr. Mustache secretly wonders what it would be like to entertain an audience from inside the ring. In this delightful childrens tale, a curious boy embarks on an adventure to the circus where he imagines a new life and happily discovers he is just fine with being himself.

Operational intelligence, knowledge of the enemy’s location and actions, is crucial to effective military operations. The Admirals’ Advantage offers a revealing look at naval operational intelligence based on the findings of a classified Operational Intelligence (OPINTEL) Lessons-Learned Project and a 1998 Symposium at the Navy and Marine Corps Intelligence Training Center. Participants included senior intelligence and operational leaders who explored the evolution and significance of OPINTEL since World War II. Past and current practices were examined with inputs from fleet and shore commands and insights from interviews and correspondence with senior flag officers and intelligence professionals.

When Zozimos is banished by an evil witch (his stepmother!) from the kingdom of Sticatha-the kingdom he was next in line to rule-he trains at battle (if you call chasing after butterflies training), travels across stormy seas (thanks for that, Poseidon), slays golems and monsters (with a lot of help), charms beautiful women (not really), and somehow (despite his own ineptitude) survives quest after quest. By the love of Zeus, though, none of it brings him any closer to home! It does, however, make for one quirky, original, giggle-provoking graphic novel sure to appeal to any kid interested in Greek mythology, or merely looking for an entertaining read.

Les marxistes ukrainiens ont joué un rôle de premier plan dans la révolution ukrainien. Organisés au sein du Parti ouvrier social-démocrate ukrainien, ils ont construit un Parti communiste ukrainien indépendant – les Ukapisty – qui rivalisait avec les communistes russes et les nationalistes ukrainiens dans leur quête pour une République socialiste ukrainienne indépendante. Dominant une section de l'Armée Rouge, ils ont mené une révolte pro-soviétique en 1919 même plus grande que le soulèvement de Cronstadt. Leur lutte avait des ramifications internationales et gagna le soutien de la Hongrie soviétique. Ces événements aidaient à décider le sort des révolutions en Europe. Les Ukapisty étaient le dernier parti d'opposition légal en URSS avant leur liquidation en 1925. Ce volume éclairant comprend une sélection de documents originaux pour la première fois en langue française. Cela fournit aux lecteurs des textes essentiels des marxistes ukrainiens, de leurs considérations sur la question nationale aux réflexions sur la révolution, en passant par leurs tentatives de comprendre la tragédie en cours de la révolution en retraite.

The New Testament is full of people about whom we know little. Who really was Pilate's wife? She is given one verse in all the Gospels and never mentioned again. Yet her image of telling her husband, Pontius Pilate, to have nothing to do with Jesus, lives for the ages. When Jesus said in Luke 9:50, "for he that is not against us, is for us," who was he talking about? At the betrayal in the Gospel of Mark, an unnamed man is depicted running off naked when a soldier tries to apprehend him. Why is this moment never mentioned in any other telling of the Passion Narrative? In this collection of four short stories and a novelette, I explore the possibilities of what might have been. I offer the reader a speculative glimpse into the possible histories of events leading up to what was eventually written down in the Gospels.
