- Ramses the damned : the passion of Cleopatra / by Rice, Anne,1941-author.; Rice, Christopher,1978-author.;
From the iconic and bestselling author of The Mummy and The Vampire Chronicles, a mesmerizing, glamorous new tale of ancient feuds and modern passions. Ramses the Great, former pharaoh of Egypt, is reawakened by the elixir of life in Edwardian England. Now immortal with his bride-to-be, he is swept up in a fierce and deadly battle of wills and psyches against the once-great Queen Cleopatra. Ramses has reawakened Cleopatra with the same perilous elixir whose unworldly force brings the dead back to life. But as these ancient rulers defy one another in their quest to understand the powers of the strange elixir, they are haunted by a mysterious presence even older and more powerful than they, a figure drawn forth from the mists of history who possesses spectacular magical potions and tonics eight millennia old. This is a figure who ruled over an ancient kingdom stretching from the once-fertile earth of the Sahara to the far corners of the world, a queen with a supreme knowledge of the deepest origins of the elixir of life. She may be the only one who can make known to Ramses and Cleopatra the key to their immortality--and the secrets of the miraculous, unknowable, endless expanse of the universe.- Subjects: Paranormal fiction.; Ramses II, King of Egypt; Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, -30 B.C.; Mummies; Immortality;

- Blueprint for revolution : how to use rice pudding, Lego men, and other nonviolent techniques to galvanize communities, overthrow dictators, or simply change the world / by Popovic, Srdja.; Miller, Matthew.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.It Can Never Happen Here -- Dream Big, Start Small -- Vision of Tomorrow -- The Almighty Pillars of Power -- Laugh Your Way to Victory -- Make Oppression Backfire -- Its Unity, Stupid! -- Plan Your Way to Victory -- The Demons of Violence -- Finish What You Started -- It Had to Be You."In Blueprint for Revolution, Srdja Popovic outlines his philosophy for implementing peaceful world change and provides a model for activists everywhere through stories of his own experience toppling dictatorships (peacefully) and of smaller examples of social change (like Occupy Wall Street or fighting for gay rights or zoning changes). Through examples of using laughter and music (e.g., Pussy Riot) to disarm the opposition and gather supporters, to staging a protest of Lego Men in Siberia (when flesh-and-blood people would have been shot), to a boycott of Cottage cheese in Israel to challenge price inflation while organizing around rice pudding to overthrow the dictator of the Maldives, Popovic uses true and sometimes outrageously clever examples of the ways in which non-violent resistance has achieved its means. Popovic argues in favor of non-violent resistance not for ideological reasons (as persuasive as those are) but because non-violence actually works better than violence. An inspiring (and useful!) guide for any activist--and a thoroughly entertaining read for any armchair politico"--Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Civil disobedience.; Nonviolence.; Pacifism; Protest movements; Revolutions;

- Bleeding Heart Yard / by Griffiths, Elly,author.;
"When Cassie Fitzgerald was at school in the late 1990s, she and her friends killed a fellow student. Almost twenty years later, Cassie is a happily married mother who loves her job--as a police officer. She closely guards the secret she has all but erased from her memory. One day her husband finally persuades her to go to a school reunion. Cassie catches up with her high-achieving old friends from the Manor Park School--among them two politicians, a rock star, and a famous actress. But then, shockingly, one of them, Garfield Rice, is found dead in the school bathroom, supposedly from a drug overdose. Because Garfield was an eminent--and controversial--MP, and the investigation is high profile, it's headed by Cassie's new boss, DI Harbinder Kaur, freshly promoted and newly arrived in London. The trouble is, Cassie can't shake the feeling that one of her old friends has killed again. Is Cassie right? Or was Garfield murdered by one of his political cronies? It's in Cassie's interest to skew the investigation so it looks like it has nothing to do with Manor Park, and she seems to be succeeding. Until someone else from the reunion is found dead in Bleeding Heart Yard ... "--- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Novels.; Class reunions; Murder; Police;
