Stationed in Rome, Brachan is dispatched on military assignment to Jerusalem to monitor and deal with a potential threat. Upon investigating allegations of a local baptizing menace, he dismisses the Baptizer John as a creditable risk to the empire. However, Brachan''s extensive spy network identifies a Nazarene named Jesus who seems more dangerous than the Baptizer. After witnessing numerous events that leave him deeply troubled, Brachan''s mission continues to study Jesus as a viable threat until the Nazarene is convicted after an impromptu trial and crucified. With the threat extinguished, Brachan prepares to leave for Rome when informants tell him the body of Jesus is missing. Brachan changes his travel plans to investigate the escaped Nazarene and discover the missing body. Yet, what he uncovers and outlines in his final report signifies an enemy that even the mighty Roman empire cannot stop.

Anyone who has attended an American public high school can identify with The B.G. It is written in three parts: school year, suicide, and abuse of teenagers. Part one portrays a normal year in high school, following some students and their attendant tribulations and triumphs. The second part deals with two young women who have never been loved...both Tori and Dawn consider suicide. Years later some of the teens in the first part attend a class reunion in the final pages, having matured and outlived their perilous teenage years. The final part, Save the Dogs, presents a parallel between feral dogs and feral adults, the dogs attacking farm animals, and the adults targeting teenagers. The end of the book brings together the first two parts and provides a positive solution-wrapping up a "normal" American high school. The bottom line: kids matter.

authoritative volume providing details for staying out of a bear''s mouth. For those who know more about bears, information in this book could save your life. Too many people do not know about safety from bears. The answers to many questions about this 4-legged predator abound in this book. The weaponry of the North American bears is no match for man. Injuries inflicted by bears run the gamut.

           Contrary to popular belief, bears are NOT cuddly critters to which mankind can bond. Quite the opposite. If your pet Doberman can kill you, how much easier would it be for a wild animal to achieve the same results? Kaniut discusses the causes for attacks, primarily defensive or predatory. Stories of specific attacks provide ample evidence of the bear''s craftiness and power, and the need for man''s bear-oriented knowledge.

           Starting with the habituated bear, the most dangerous of all, Kaniut lists those items that attract bears, those that deter the animals, and what to look for if you are in bear territory. Along with the bear''s nature, the author covers numerous myths and talks about the new bear--the one man has cozied up to in order to be tolerant. The author addresses pepper spray in the section on "spraying and playing."

           In way too many cases, the public blames man for his bear-related injuries...or death, even prioritizing bears as more valuable than mankind. Kaniut shares multiple types of weapons used to stop bears. And he makes a strong argument for the necessity for a bonafide weapon, one which will not tickle but will drop the curtain on bruin.

           Some of the information cites bear "experts" dispensing advice that is either wrong or contradictory to that of other "experts." Kaniut pleas for public safety and provides a formula for safety from bear attacks.
