DANGER EXCITEMENT ROMANCE A rash of unsolved murders prompts NYPD homicide detective Lt. Charlie Bannerman to join forces with world renowned orchid specialist Dr. Samuel Bloom, a former navy veteran with a host of physiological problems. Together they head off to the Island of Madagascar where they run into Dr. Anna Grenier, a Swiss physician who just lost her forester husband in a suspicious accident on the Island's west coast. Dietrich Brower, Director of the prestigious Zurich International Association of Naturalists (ZIAN), has just learned of disturbing events that persuades him to enlist the aid of Interpol agent Ren Simard, Anna Grenier's cousin. Simard is instructed to liaise with the covert ZIAN team working inside Tsingy National Park and to get rid of the three interlopers before their nosing around creates a problem. When Bloom and Bannerman uncover evidence that points to ZIAN's complicity in the movement of cocaine, they conclude that final proof can only be found by visiting ZIAN's HQ in Zurich. Here, snooping around the ZIAN premises late at night, they make a horrifying discovery. The following day, as pieces of the puzzle fall into place, the two Americans head back to the island where CIA contractor Giles Lamont has arranged for several of his old mercenary buddies to help penetrate the world's most forbidding piece of real estate. Here, a final terrifying twist of fate not only puts everyone at risk, but reveals the true evil that lurks deep in the heart of Tsingy's deadly limestone labyrinth.

Institutional Memory as Storytelling

Institutional Memory as Storytelling

How do bureaucracies remember? The conventional view is that institutional memory is static and singular, the sum of recorded files and learned procedures. There is a growing body of scholarship that suggests contemporary bureaucracies are failing at this core task. This Element argues that this diagnosis misses that memories are essentially dynamic stories. They reside with people and are thus dispersed across the array of actors that make up the differentiated polity. Drawing on four policy examples from four sectors (housing, energy, family violence and justice) in three countries (the UK, Australia and New Zealand), this Element argues that treating the way institutions remember as storytelling is both empirically salient and normatively desirable. It is concluded that the current conceptualisation of institutional memory needs to be recalibrated to fit the types of policy learning practices required by modern collaborative governance.
Transcendental Arguments and Justified Christian Belief

Transcendental Arguments and Justified Christian Belief

Transcendental Arguments and Justified Christian Belief offers an extended discussion of the characteristics of transcendental arguments and the philosophical objections that have been leveled against them. Author Ronney Mourad provides a comprehensive review of the recent philosophical literature concerning the definition and possibility of transcendental arguments and defends original positions on these issues. One function of transcendental arguments is to identify beliefs or propositions implied by any possible act of assertion. Anyone who denies the conclusions of a sound transcendental argument, defined in this way, simultaneously implies the truth of those conclusions by asserting the denial. Therefore, a sound transcendental argument produces conclusions that are distinctively universal and resistant to criticism. This book also applies transcendental argumentation to epistemological questions in Christian theology. Can Christians justify their religious beliefs? Do they even need to try? The work of Karl-Otto Apel and Franklin Gamwell serves as the starting point for the development of a transcendentally grounded conception of epistemic justification. The final chapters argue, in conversation with Schubert Ogden and Alvin Plantinga, that the obligations of epistemic justification revealed by transcendental arguments bear several implications for theological method.

Journeys with Celtic Christians Participant

Writers often use the metaphor of journey or pilgrimage to describe the Christian life. What distinguishes this book and its development of that theme is its invitation to readers to experience their personal faith journeys through Celtic lenses. Pilgrimage is part of the DNA of Celtic Christians. The faith spread and flourished in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Northern England between the 5th and 11th centuries because saints like Patrick, Brigid, and Columba traveled extensively, preaching, teaching, and founding monasteries. Soon small groups of Christians began to go out from these locations and begin new Christian communities. By connecting historical information with their current lives and concerns, readers will be encouraged to consider the many ways pilgrimage has shaped their personal faith. They will discover the value and contributions of fellow travelers on the faith journey and how they assist and shape that journey. By recalling how Celtic Christians celebrated and marked significant moments in their lives of faith, readers will discover ways they can develop this practice. They will affirm the importance of both offering and receiving hospitality on the faith journey, a discipline that was critical to the Celts. They will also have opportunities to deal with difficult life journeys such as transitions and opportunities for forgiveness, and the importance of blessing one another in a world that values polarization over cooperation and competition over community. With an introduction that sets the tone and introduces the theme and six chapters related to distinctives of Celtic Christianity, this book is ideal for small groups whose members want to grow together in their spiritual understandings and commitments.

With a foreword by Peter Rollins and an afterword by Thomas J. J. Altizer, Too Good to be True is a collection of sermons written and preached from a radical theology perspective, which demonstrate preaching in a post-Christendom, post-'God' world. These sermons were actually preached in a mainline church in the US. The sermons follow the liturgical and lectionary year A, so clergy may use the books for their own preaching and easily reference it in their professional work.
