A drama set in the world of competitive college cheerleading. Marti Perkins' plan was to get through Lancer University on her scholarship, go to law school, and leave Memphis and her hard-drinking mother behind to start a new life as an attorney.

Andrew Whiteside's recent review was right on the money. "A wing and a Prayer" is a magnificent album, and a cruelly overlooked gem. The quality of the songs, the arrangements and the production are simply phenomenal. This album is probably number one in my personal desert island disks, as I can't imagine life without it. Gerry Rafferty's husky voice gives a uniquely emotional pull to these songs. The album is clearly based around his marriage break-up, and as others have said, songwriters often produce great music from such traumatic events.

On a Wing and a Prayer by Joshua Levine
Few are aware of the risks that the pioneering airmen of the First World War took. On a Wing and a Prayer is a narrative history that conveys the perils of those early days, the thrills of learning to fly, and the horrors of war in the air at a time when pilots carried little defensive armament and no parachutes.

This part is about the lives of three very different riders and centres on the life of the Bajan jockey – the trials and deprivations of keeping on top of your game, the glory and glamour of success and the temptations and pitfalls that can come hand in hand with financial rewards. All these forces create a tight-knit community united by their mutual competitiveness and their love of the adrenaline-fuelled buzz of the track.

“There are beautiful and wild forces within us.” With these words the mystic, St. Francis, described what ancient traditions believed was the most powerful force in the universe—the power of prayer. For more than 20 years, Gregg Braden, the best-selling author of The God Code, has searched for evidence of a forgotten form of prayer that was lost to the West following the Biblical edits of the early Christian Church. In the 1990s, he found and documented this form of prayer still being used in the remote monasteries of central Tibet. He also found it practiced in sacred rites throughout the high deserts of the American Southwest.
