Super hero friends are great. Except for the super villains trying to kill you. Twenty-five years after the Vigilante returned to New Bedlam, their daughter has taken up the hero’s mantle. Protecting the city from…wait, what are you– Hi, Burke Hale here, interrupting whatever this is to tell you what this story is really about. It’s about me and my super ninja hero ferret, Binky. You see, I came home to my converted motel room apartment in the seediest part of town and found myself dead on the couch. Or some wickedly handsome dude who looked exactly like me. Because I wasn’t dead. Though lots of people would be thrilled if I were dead. The cops were already there, examining my–the other dude’s–non-living body, and they were surprised to see me. Like, creepy ghost time surprised. Then these other guys showed up from some super secret government organization. They whipped their guns out and… That’s when Binky the awesome ninja ferret kicked their posteriors. Shortly after that things got weird. Which is saying a lot for me. I’m up to my eyeballs in trouble. So is Nora, my Vigilante hero girlfriend. Ex-girlfriend, technically, but I was working on changing that. Except the bad guy keeps blowing things up and everything keeps twisting around on me. I don’t know what’s what anymore. Then things get even more weird. If I can’t figure it out in time, everyone and everything I love is going to be as dead as that handsome guy on my couch. Which would be really bad. Vigilance’s Apprentice, the next strange and thrilling chapter in the Bedlam’s Heroes series.
Following directly in the wake of The Temple of Yellow Skulls, our heroes face the totality of the destructive and pestilent forces presented by the Abyssal Plague. The disease of the liquid crystal Voidharrow spreads throughout the land, transforming unsuspecting creatures into plague demons. Shara, Uldane, and the unlikely drow hero Valmaggar join forces with Tempest and Rohgar from The Mark Of Nerath, and together they set out in search of the green dragon Vestapalk, or the creature Vestapalk has become--the patient zero of this abyssal plague. Meanwhile, Albanon and the mysterious cleric Kri Redshal--the last remaining member of the Order of Vigilance, an order dedicated to guarding the Voidharrow--go in search of answers to the disease that sweeps the land. While their search takes them deep into the heart of the darkness that is enveloping the land, the answers they find are truly in need of new questions. As they become aware of the true scale of the tragedy at hand, they see the forces behind them are more powerful than they had ever dreamed, and perhaps more seductive.
This book focuses on the connection between vigilance and the plague in France throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. For more than three centuries, between the middle of the 14th century up until circa 1670, the prevalence of the plague in France was said to be endemic, before it then vanished from French territory. The Great Plague of Marseille (1720-1722, which also impacted the rest of Provence, the County of Venaissin and Languedoc) proved to be an exception. During that period, the fight against the plague was deemed a top-priority along the French coast, and health institutions, called bureaux de la santé, were developed. Contributions to this book primarily focus on health vigilance from the standpoint of how to prevent an epidemic and how to respond to a declared epidemic. Among the salient themes addressed are: communications between health and different state actors, prevailing religious and political norms, and the popular participation in the fight against the plague. The use of the concept of vigilance enables the mobilisation of often rather distant branches of history, namely institutional. social, religious history, the history of communication and the history of public health.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration funded the multisite Young Adults in the Workplace (YIW) initiative to study the effectiveness of diverse approaches to workplace-based prevention of substance abuse. Six teams adapted evidence-based programs to target young employees and then implemented the programs in retail, restaurant, health care, construction, skilled trade, and transportation industry workplaces. This book describes the programs, the adaptation and implementation processes, and the YIW cross-site evaluation.
The remarkable and inspiring story of William Still, an unknown abolitionist who dedicated his life to managing a critical section of the Underground Railroad in Philadelphia—the free state directly north of the Mason-Dixon Line—helping hundreds of people escape from slavery. Born free in 1821 to two parents who had been enslaved, William Still was drawn to antislavery work from a young age. Hired as a clerk at the Anti-Slavery office in Philadelphia after teaching himself to read and write, he began directly assisting enslaved people who were crossing over from the South into freedom. Andrew Diemer captures the full range and accomplishments of Still’s life, from his resistance to Fugitive Slave Laws and his relationship with John Brown before the war, to his long career fighting for citizenship rights and desegregation until the early twentieth century. Despite Still’s disappearance from history books, during his lifetime he was known as “the Father of the Underground Railroad.” Working alongside Harriet Tubman and others at the center of the struggle for Black freedom, Still helped to lay the groundwork for long-lasting activism in the Black community, insisting that the success of their efforts lay not in the work of a few charismatic leaders, but in the cultivation of extensive grassroots networks. Through meticulous research and engaging writing, Vigilance establishes William Still in his rightful place in American history as a major figure of the abolitionist movement.
Your argument of how to protect the goose that laid the golden egg by defending freedom, civil society, and capitalism from the pernicious effects of Progressivism seems compelling to me. Moreover your account of the rise of progressivism in the U.S.is must reading for anyone who would take a stand on political issues. And no one who reads your accounts of the rise and fall of free-people-free market models of government in other societies can fail to agree with you about the value of government allowing the market to operate as freely as possible. It is a very informative summary of an enormous amount of data that I have not seen elsewhere, and a powerful empirical argument. - Phillip Scribner, Associate Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, American University
A nightmare villain stalks the heroes of New Bedlam. The vigilante heroes of New Bedlam face their more dire challenge yet. When a–Burke! What are you do– Hey there, Burke Hale taking over again. Let me tell you, dropping a flaming dude through my roof was not subtle. I mean, yeah, it got my attention. Not to mention burning down the former motel-converted-to-crummy-apartments place where I lived. Not cool. Sure, lots of people think I should be dead. A few have made semi-serious attempts to make that happen. But this guy… He’s got issues. And the more the vigilante heroes and I figure out about this master villain, the more issues he has. The biggest issue being, he seems more than capable of destroying not just me, but the entire city. But first, he wants me to suffer. He wants all of us to suffer. He’s making the city tear itself apart. Somehow he’s made everyone lose their minds. People have gone crazy, turning on each other like animals. The vigilante family are counting on me to solve the mystery of this villain’s grudge against me. The trouble is, I have no idea who this dude is. It’s not like I keep a master list of people I’ve ticked off. I mean, that would be a big list. Like famous horror writer novel pages of thickness big. The vigilante heroes and I (and my super awesome ninja ferret, Binky) have to figure out who this guy is. But if we can’t, we might have to give him what he wants. My head on a platter. Sure would be nice to avoid that. Can we save the city and my precious neck, too? The next action-packed, twisting and turning adventure in the Bedlam’s Heroes series.
