Beyond Words - audio book

What are the words and expressions that irk, intrigue and provoke John Humphrys?

Why must everything be a fun event? What are eye shine days? When did we start calling charities the 'third sector' and insisting on 'deliverables'? Why has the word 'respect' found its street cred when 'authority' and 'trust' have lost theirs?

Who could imagine that 'thank you ' would grate in its chummy media over-use? Why do civil servants work in 'silos'? Who's 'empowered' in the 'grey limelight'? Whatever is the American army's 'product offering'?

Here the ever-popular presenter of the Today programme and best-selling author of Lost for Words takes a sharp look at our current phrases and expressions to expose the often hidden attitudes that lie behind them - from the schoolroom to the boardroom, from Westminster to the weather forecast. Questioning some assumptions, puncturing our illusions and illuminating the way we live now, Beyond Words is a small audiobook that speaks volumes.

And are you sure you know your 'PANDA from your 'SMIF' or your 'SEF'?

African and African-American Religion

The religious ideas and practices of African peoples have much in common with each other, and with related religions in the Caribbean and the Americas. African Islam and African Christianity have developed separately since their earliest time in Ethiopia, Egypt, and the Sudan.

The Religion, Scriptures, and Spirituality series describes the beliefs, religious practices, and the spiritual and moral commitments of the world's great religious traditions. It also describes a religion's way of understanding scripture, identifies its outstanding thinkers, and discusses its attitude and relationship to society. - Vanderbilt University

Battletech - Lost Destiny - audio book

With secret aid from ComStar, the Clans' BattleMech warriors have been incredibly successful in their campaign of invasion. But ComStar has it's own reasons for giving aid to the enemy - reuniting the Inner Sphere worlds under ComStar's rule. Yet neither the clans nor the Great Houses of the Inner Sphere are ready to become Comstar's puppets. As the Clans continue their inward drive, can ComStar mobilize the Inner Sphere's last defenses - or will their own internal political warfare provide the final death blow to the empire they are sworn to protect?

Lost Destiny concludes the Blood of Kerensky trilogy.

Christopher Grayhill has performed on numerous audiobooks ranging from classic westerns to science fiction, as well as hundreds of commercials and corporate audio narrations. He has also written two short plays, "Eye to Eye" and "Go Look".
