How product design criticism has rescued some products from the trash and consigned others to the landfill. Product design criticism operates at the very brink of the landfill site, salvaging some products with praise but consigning others to its depths through condemnation or indifference. When a designed product's usefulness is past, the public happily discards it to make room for the next new thing. Criticism rarely deals with how a product might be used, or not used, over time; it is more likely to play the enabler, encouraging our addiction to consumption. With Sifting the Trash, Alice Twemlow offers an especially timely reexamination of the history of product design criticism through the metaphors and actualities of the product as imminent junk and the consumer as junkie. Twemlow explores five key moments over the past sixty years of product design criticism. From the mid-1950s through the 1960s, for example, critics including Reyner Banham, Deborah Allen, and Richard Hamilton wrote about the ways people actually used design, and invented a new kind of criticism. At the 1970 International Design Conference in Aspen, environmental activists protested the design establishment's lack of political engagement. In the 1980s, left-leaning cultural critics introduced ideology to British design criticism. In the 1990s, dueling London exhibits offered alternative views of contemporary design. And in the early 2000s, professional critics were challenged by energetic design bloggers. Through the years, Twemlow shows, critics either sifted the trash and assigned value or attempted to detect, diagnose, and treat the sickness of a consumer society.

Reyner Banham (1922–88) was a prolific, iconoclastic critic of modern architecture, cities, and mass culture in Britain and the United States, and his provocative writings are inescapable in these areas. His 1971 book on Los Angeles was groundbreaking in what it told Californians about their own metropolis, and architects about what cities might be if freed from tradition. Banham’s obsession with technology, and his talent for thinking the unthinkable, mean his work still resonates now, more than thirty years after his death. This book explores the full breadth of his career and his legacy, dealing not only with his major books, but a wide range of his journalism and media outputs, as well as the singular character of Banham himself.

The Bible suggests that unbelievers are a crop ready for harvest. When harvested, they are taken to the threshing floor, where husks and chaff are removed to reveal the precious seed (Matt. 3:11-12; 9:35-38). This book develops the concept of Threshing floor by simple reference to a typical sub-urban town-house or mansion with nine floors, each of them being a Threshing Floor. For various reasons, many Christians are uncomfortable to approach someone else for counselling. Fatally wounded by fellow Christians, whether leaders or not, they quietly withdraw from the Church. Alternatively, they stay put, but deeply wounded and hurt, they limp along and remain in the Church. They become religious. This book offers a new, innovative, D.I.Y approach to Christian Counselling, whereby one approaches others only in the event of failure of the D.I.Y. process. Touching on various character and behavioural attributes, the Bible is explored to clinically analyse scriptures, offering chances for the wounded and those who wound others to get self-threshed by the Word of God on different theoretical floors in the House God (Psalm 23:6). When fully threshed, they serve in Gods house with a sweet spirit, agape love, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

In an unnamed Third World country, in the not-so-distant future, three “dumpsite boys” make a living picking through the mountains of garbage on the outskirts of a large city. One unlucky-lucky day, Raphael finds something very special and very mysterious. So mysterious that he decides to keep it, even when the city police offer a handsome reward for its return. That decision brings with it terrifying consequences, and soon the dumpsite boys must use all of their cunning and courage to stay ahead of their pursuers. It’s up to Raphael, Gardo, and Rat—boys who have no education, no parents, no homes, and no money—to solve the mystery and right a terrible wrong. Andy Mulligan has written a powerful story about unthinkable poverty—and the kind of hope and determination that can transcend it. With twists and turns, unrelenting action, and deep, raw emotion, Trash is a heart-pounding, breath-holding novel.

Murder! Mobsters! Detective series! Crime-drama! A touch or two of romance! Homicide Detective Lyle Odell and the entire Mohawk City police team and Odell’s trusted civilian friends return in a new adventure, and this time around; Odell and the team risk their careers, and maybe even their lives, as they face off with a powerful mobster boosted by a faction of the Russian network of organized crime operating in America. Mr. Ivan Petrov is powerful, handsome, and charismatic, and extremely wealthy. He is also the seemingly untouchable kingpin for the operation of the Russian mob in New York State. Petrov was on the top of the world, untouched, never challenged, until, suddenly, a beautiful young woman with ties to Mr. Petrov shows up deceased in a swimming pool in an exclusive apartment complex owned by Mr. Ivan Petrov. “It is just an accident,” the powers to be proclaimed. “An unfortunate tragedy.” Mohawk City in upstate New York is known as “Sin City” for its share of crime, grit, and generally, all round shady characters constantly lurking in the shadows of the streets within the city. When the great Mohawk City police homicide detective Lyle Odell is mysteriously wayward and sidelined for a “health issue” during a sensitive potential homicide investigation, his protégé, Junior Detective Miles Bradford, is suddenly thrust into the midst of the investigation. When Junior Detective Bradford declares the death of the beautiful young woman found in the swimming pool, a homicide, under rather weak evidence and questionable circumstances, it causes a ripple of doubt and mayhem within the Mohawk City Police Department and the political factions in the state hierarchy. The situation puts Captain Connor Moore, the frontline police officer for the Mohawk City Police Department, on the hot seat. Without his heralded and legendary detective heading up the case, the unpopular ruling of a homicide by a junior detective on what appears to be an accident causes waves of concern and uneasiness within the department and within the state politics. After all, Ivan Petrov is a very powerful and connected man! When the faithful friend of Lyle Odell, Police Lieutenant George Grundy rallies the police team and the friends of Lyle Odell, and he throws support to Junior Detective Bradford and Grundy jumps into the fray, Homicide Detective Lyle Odell rises from the ashes of despair, supports Junior Detective Miles Bradford and his conclusions, and makes sense of the impossible case. Suddenly, the tide is turned; Ivan Petrov is on the hot seat, as the Odell-led team closes in on the trail and Petrov’s power, and his criminal empire is challenged and on the brink of collapse! What ensues is a game of cat and mouse between the assembled team led by the genius of Detective Lyle Odell and the powerful crime family of Ivan Petrov. Which team will prevail? Plucked out of the pages of the novel “O'Malley” by his creator, Homicide Detective Lyle Odell proved to be a hugely popular character with readers. In “O’Malley,” the good detective helps the principal character solve the mysteries of his past and the brutal homicide of a fellow police officer. The character proved to so popular with readers that Paul John Hausleben created a series of novels starring the eccentric, systematic, hard-drinking, gumshoe Homicide Detective Lyle Odell. Here in this latest Detective Lyle Odell novel, the author weaves an exciting murder mystery and crime drama mixed with his usual unforgettable characters, and proves once again why Odell’s creator earned the title of “The Master Storyteller.” Grab your copy today!

A traumatized ex-cop. A ruthless ex-con. A deadly game of cat and mouse… Rich Farris is on the brink of suicide. Suffering from PTSD and on a downward spiral since retiring from L.A. Sheriff’s Homicide, he’s just about to end it all when a phone call spurs him to action. The daughter of a distant family member has gone missing. Farris shifts into rescue mode and races to Louisiana, only to learn the girl’s been found dead… in Boise, Idaho. Joined—whether he wants to be or not—by the victim’s bright young friend, Farris heads to the Gem State determined to bring the murderer to justice. But the trail of bodies quickly extends from Idaho into Nevada and California, and he fears he’ll never capture his deadly quarry. Can the damaged former lawman stop a stone-cold killer before he takes more innocent lives? From the author of the best-selling and award-winning Dickie Floyd Detective series, The Outlaw is the brooding first installment in the Rich Farris Detective series. If you like hard-boiled mysteries, nail-biting manhunts, and authentic, complex characters, then you’ll love Smith’s action-packed detective novels. “Action-packed, tragic and intense, this is another masterful work by the indomitable Danny Smith. Outstanding and Very Highly Recommended.” “Smith continues to cement his legacy as one of the greatest crime writers of all time.”

In 101 Reflections, Dennis Lynn has adapted his teaching style to the written page. He uses personal experiences and simple illustrations to teach biblical truth dealing with everyday life experiences and challenges. His purpose is to challenge, encourage, comfort, and entertain the reader. For the first twelve years of his professional life, Dennis Lynn worked as a teacher and a coach on a secondary level in the public schools of South Carolina. For six of those years he had the opportunity to work under the leadership of a high school coaching legend in South Carolina, Coach Willie Varner. Coach Varner said, "I do not care how much you know or how well you can draw plays on the board. All I care about is how much you can teach the young men under your direction." This proved to be a valuable lesson Dennis took with him into ministry. From the beginning of his ministry, Dennis realized people in the pew were not interested in how much he had learned in seminary or how vast a theological vocabulary he had. They wanted someone who could take the Word of God and present it in a manner they could understand and apply in their daily lives. For thirty years, Dennis has faithfully provided this type of teaching.
