In a rather odd twist of fate, a timid Welsh farmer''s son and an angel with a severe attitude problem swap places for a week, setting off a chain of uproarious adventures. Powys Evans, the unassuming teenager from the small Welsh village of Ponty Bodkin, finds himself thrust into the bewildering world of celestial beings, where cautious angels abound. Armed with his down-to-earth humour, trusty harp, and visitor''s map, Powys fearlessly challenges the angels'' overly cautious ways, showing them the beauty of taking risks, embracing imperfections, and being able to watch both Coronation Street and EastEnders for the rest of eternity. Meanwhile, Poyel, the angelic visitor stranded on Earth, struggles to navigate the quirks and complexities of human life. Through comical mishaps and endearing misunderstandings, Powys discovers his hidden abilities to create more mischief than he was ever allowed to get up to in heaven. As Powys and Poyel learn from each other''s experiences, they must deal with a mix of cultural clashes, heartwarming friendships, and unexpected challenges. Not to mention Go... Erm... Bob, the big cheese in charge of... well, everything, really. Only Bob seems to be more interested in running a small village shop and pretending to be someone else.

All will be revealed in "Good Evans," the new humorous novel by Michael White.

Using INDEPTH''s multi-site network to provide new demographic insights into population variables, this book provides a new perspective on migration, health and livelihood''s interaction over time. The book starts with providing a conceptual and methodological framework to inform the epidemiological studies that are clustered into two themes, showing the dynamics of migration with either household livelihoods or individual health outcomes. The findings demonstrate the important cross-national regularities in human migration. The contributed chapters also exemplify the fact that the impacts of migration can be either positive or negative for sending and/or receiving communities, depending on the issues at hand and the type of migration under consideration.

In all his years on the force, Detective Chief Inspector Pendragon had never seen a corpse like this one. After the initial horror, he recognised the reference to the surrealist painter, Magritte. But that made the crime even more sickening - accomplished with a sickening ferocity which placed it in another league from common or garden homicide.

From 1987 to 1995, Bristol, England''s Sarah Records was a modest underground success and, for the most part, a critical laughingstock in its native country-sneeringly dismissed as the sad, final repository for a fringe style of music (variously referred to as “indie-pop,” “C86,” “cutie” and “twee”) whose moment had passed. Yet now, more than 20 years after its founders symbolically “destroyed” it, Sarah is among the most passionately fetishized record labels of all time. Its rare releases command hundreds of dollars, devotees around the world hungrily seek out any information they can find about its poorly documented history, and young musicians-some of them not yet born when Sarah shut down-claim its bands (such as Blueboy, the Field Mice, Heavenly, and the Wake) as major influences. Featuring dozens of exclusive interviews with the music-makers, producers, writers and assorted eyewitnesses who played a part in Sarah''s eight-year odyssey, Popkiss: The Life and Afterlife of Sarah Records is the first authorised biography of an unlikely cult legend.

In the northwest quarter of the site of Caesarea Maritima is Field O, the location known as "the synagogue site and Jewish Quarter." Although excavated in 1956 and 1962, archaeologists and scholars researching the excavation results have been limited to seeing a brush-choked patch of excavated ruins, viewing a few artifacts in museums, and to the frustrating examination of the confusing, often contradictory published preliminary reports. For whatever reason, there was no final report published and there were no published photographs, site plans, or plans of the structures. This lack of clear understanding threatened to keep the site out of the corpus of synagogue sites forever. Now comprehensive research has discovered previously unknown records from the 1962 excavations and produced a comparative study of the 1945/46, 1956/62, and 1982/84 excavation photographs and the complete findings from the Joint Expedition to Caesarea Maritima survey and excavation seasons. Included for the first time are a site plan of the excavated remains and reconstruction drawings of the excavated structures.

Early Christianity seems not to have had a highly developed institutional character. Christians met in the homes of individual members, and there was no such thing as a church building. By the fourth century, however, Christianity had become an official Roman religion, and a new architectural form, the basilica, would soon become the standard throughout the Roman world. In this volume Michael White uses literary, archaeological, and documentary sources to set the architectural history of the early church within its wider cultural context, showing how the change from house churches to public basilicas coincided with crucial developments in the social aspects and religious practices of the emergent Christian movement.

Los embalsamadores parecen haber hecho su trabajo muy bien en lo que se refiere a la apariencia externa de los cadáveres, pero debajo de la piel tirante los órganos han encogido hasta convertirse en miniaturas de lo que fueron en principio, lo que significa que será muy complicado conseguir recolectar una muestra de ADN que se pueda utilizar. Tanto Edie como Mackenzie tienen serias dudas de la verdadera identidad de al menos dos de los cadáveres de más de quinientos años que han analizado. Nadie puede explicar la presencia de un objeto extraño que se encuentra al lado de la columna vertebral de Cosimo de Medici.
