New Releases by Mike Lee

London bid leader and British Olympic hero Sebastian Coe, Tony Blair and David Beckham all played a part in winning the most competitive race for the Games in Olympic history. But it was far from plain sailing and the campaign was a rollercoaster ride of emotions: full of drama, controversy and tears from the moment businesswoman Barbara Cassani was given the task of launching the bid in 2003, to the fateful day in Singapore when her successor, Lord Coe, and the rest of the world was told London had won. Mike Lee was at the heart of this intriguing journey through the entangled world of International Olympic Committee politics, international sport, British politics and the media as he travelled the world with Coe and other team members to present London''s bid.

L''armée de morts-vivants de Nagash travaille sans relâche dans les mines qui courent sous la forteresse de Nagashizzar, extrayant la malepierre qui donne au nécromancien sa puissance infernale. Mais une nouvelle menace pour le royaume de Nagash apparaît ; les skavens lancent une attaque sur les hordes du nécromancien dans une tentative de s''approprier la malepierre. Alors que les assauts des hommes-rats menacent ses exploitations minières, Nagash mène ses forces sur le champ de bataille, déterminé à en finir avec cette guerre une fois pour toutes.

Una nueva amenaza para el reino de los no muertos surge en los túneles de Nagashizzar. Nagash debe hacer uso de todo su poder para acabar con el ataque skaven y proseguir su infame reinado. Pero cuando el nigromante comprende que puede utilizar al enemigo para satisfacer sus viles necesidades, se alcanza una precaria alianza y se forma un enorme ejército de pesadilla. Nagash lanza su ataque final contra las tierras de Nehekhara, arrasándolo todo a su paso. Sólo un hombre osa interponerse en su camino: Alcadizzar, un guerrero sin igual y líder de una fuerza rebelde.

Having been possessed by the ancient daemon Tz''arkan, dark elf anti-hero Darkblade has been tasked with retrieving five missing artefacts.

Nagash is the first necromancer and the supreme lord of undeath. He wrested the secrets of dark magic from the elves and perverted them to suit his ends. When the priest-kings of Nehekhara stood united against him, he broke their armies and sacked their cities. He raised the largest army of the dead the world has ever known and became an immortal dark god. His deeds are legend. This is his story.

...the Sun of righteousness will arise with healing in His wings... Malachi 4:2 (NKJV) The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is in trouble in the day and time in which we live. Church attendance, baptisms, and genuine discipleship are on the decline. True spiritual ministry is seldom ever manifested among the hurting people of God. Our church members for the most part are spiritually unhealthy and weak. The communities that surround our churches remain virtually untouched and unchanged. What has happened to the glory of the Lord that was once upon the Church of Jesus Christ? Where is the anointing power of the Holy Spirit that transforms lives and openly manifests the ministry of Jesus Christ to the Church and the world alike? Church overseer and author Mike Lee believes that there are sound biblical answers to these haunting questions. Rev. Lee truly sensed the good hand of God upon his life when the Spirit of the Lord quickened him to see and embrace the truths he shares passionately in this book. Contained in these pages is a message of hope and restoration. The author perceives this as the time when the Lord will bring sincere repentance and radical reform to His Church. We are fast approaching the time of His favor, he writes, when God once again will bring to His children a supernatural "release from captivity". Jesus Christ is about to be be exalted in the eyes of men as the only "Lord and Head" over the Church. God is about to turn the mourning of His people into triumphant celebration! We must sincerely humble ourselves to hear and obey His voice as He speaks to us, while it is still called, "today".

Good computer books make assumptions about the reader: what they do and don''t know when they pick up the book, and what they want to know when they put it down. For each reader this could be very different; therefore, a book that suits one person may not be the best for another. Mac OS X Leopard: Beyond the Manual makes some assumptions too, ones that tend to differ from other Mac OS X books. First of all, we assume that you have used a computer in that past: that you know how to use a mouse and you know the proper place to stick a DVD to get it to play in your computer. We won''t be showing you these things. (We will, however, demonstrate to our Mac converts how to “right click” on a trackpad with only one button!). Second, we assume you know what you want to do with your computer. We won''t waste your time showing you specifically, step–by–step how to order a pizza from Pizza Galaxy in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with Safari (though, when you''re done with this book we think you''ll be able to do this just fine... if such a place exists, anyway). Finally, we assume that you are a reasonably intelligent person who realizes the value of such phrases as “Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime” and can imagine how that might apply to a computer book. If this sounds like you, then we think you''ll find this book rewarding. Inside you will find everything you need to get up to speed with Mac OS X Leopard including: Using the standard included Leopard applications including Mail, Safari, Preview, and more Taking advantage of the Darwin subsystem in Leopard Learning all the ins and outs of the Finder and Leopards improved interface Administering your computer for yourself and for others Working with other computers and operating systems from you Mac Configuring the network to take full advantageof the powerful networking capabilities in Leopard Working with add on devices via USB,Firewire, and Bluetooth Effectively implementing data backup, recovery and security Getting started with OS X development in Leopard
