David Perry

Matthew Gabriele

A lively and magisterial popular history that refutes common misperceptions of the European Middle Ages, showing the beauty and communion that flourished alongside the dark brutality--a brilliant reflection of humanity itself. The word "medieval" conjures images of the "Dark Ages"--centuries of ignorance, superstition, stasis, savagery, and poor hygiene. But the myth of darkness obscures the truth; this was a remarkable period in human history. The Bright Ages recasts the European Middle Ages for what it was, capturing this 1,000-year era in all its complexity and fundamental humanity, bringing to light both its beauty and its horrors. The Bright Ages takes us through ten centuries and crisscrosses Europe and the Mediterranean, Asia and Africa, revisiting familiar people and events with new light cast upon them. We look with fresh eyes on the Fall of Rome, Charlemagne, the Vikings, the Crusades, and the Black Death, but also to the multi-religious experience of Iberia, the rise of Byzantium, and the genius of Hildegard and the power of queens. We begin under a blanket of golden stars constructed by an empress with Germanic, Roman, Spanish, Byzantine, and Christian bloodlines and end nearly 1,000 years later with the poet Dante--inspired by that same twinkling celestial canopy--writing an epic saga of heaven and hell that endures as a masterpiece of literature today. The Bright Ages reminds us just how permeable our manmade borders have always been and of what possible worlds the past has always made available to us. The Middle Ages may have been a world "lit only by fire" but it was one whose torches illuminated the magnificent rose windows of cathedrals, even as they stoked the pyres of accused heretics. The Bright Ages is illustrated throughout with high-resolution images.

Caring for the Physical and Mental Health of People with Learning Disabilities

David Perry, Foreword by Robt. Williams. For as long as young men have been channeling, chopping, and hopping up rods and customs, women - whether loyal girlfriends or trouble-seeking "bad girls" - have been an integral to their scene. In this unique portfolio evoking great 1950s pin-up artists like Vargas and Elvgren, talented photographer David Perry depicts models in and out of cherry-picked rods and customs wearing painstakingly chosen period dress and hairstyles. More than 100 photos present these modern-day pin-ups under three themes: Garage, Cruising, and Race. In addition, essays explore each topic and are also accompanied by pulp novel covers, period mags, and ads that place the photography in a historical context. Captions identify the car owners, photo location, and, where appropriate, interesting car specs and histories.

A Jason Rodgers Novel

The Extern

In the two years since the near-devastating events at the shipyard in Newport News, Virginia, pharmacist Jason Rodgers has tried to exorcise his demons and cultivate a peaceful existence with his son Michael and his true love Christine Pettigrew. But the past is not easily washed away. Revisiting him in a vengeful and devastating way, Rodgers latent ghosts rise up once more. In The Cyclops Revenge, Delilah Hussein, reborn and reloaded, the vindictive and resourceful matriarch of an ultra-secret organization resurfaces wielding retribution aimed at Rodgers and prepared for another blow to America. Rodgers and his family become locked in a mortal struggle with one of the world's most ruthless villains. It is a struggle that will catapult Rodgers from the quiet streets of a working-class city in Virginia to the power laden halls of Washington and the islands of the Caribbean. Rodgers is faced with the prospect of losing that which he holds most dear. He will be tested in ways never imagined. And the course of his life will be forever altered. Filled with breathtaking turns of plot, sophisticated prose and populated with a remarkable cast of characters, The cyclops revenge is the most explosive thriller of the year; a searing tale of vengeance, sacrifice, courage and love. This sequel to the national bestseller The Cyclops Conspiracy is David Perry's best novel yet.

In this engaging thriller, David Perry demonstrates his skill as a master storyteller taking us behind the counter into the world of pharmacy. The Cyclops Conspiracy accelerates through tense terrain toward an incredible finish. As the story opens, pharmacist Jason Rodgers stands nose to nose with his tortured past following the untimely death of his mentor, Thomas Pettigrew. He is reunited with his former lover and Pettigrew's daughter Christine. Troubled by the way Pettigrew died and Christine's unsettling statements about her father, Rodgers pushes to know more. Their reunion initiates a cascade of apparently unrelated but fateful turn of events for Rodgers-an incredible job offer working for a mysterious millionaire, the lustful pursuits of a sexy physician, and the criminal activities of a corrupt pharmacist. With the clock ticking down to a nail-biting climax, he races to stop a plot and expose the conspirators before he becomes their next victim-and before American history is irrevocably altered.
