Distant Gunfire"Border s Away " Serving as an officer on a British frigate at the time of the French Emperor Napoleon is not the safest occupation, but could be a most profitable one. Robert Graham, rising from the ranks to become the Captain of a British battleship by virtue of his dauntless leadership, displayed under enemy fire, finds himself a wealthy man as the capture of enemy ships resulted in rich rewards. Action and adventure is the word of the day, as battle after battle rages across the turbulent waters and seas as the valiant British Royal Navy fights to stem the onslaught of the mighty French Army and Navy. Mystery and suspense abound as inserting and collecting spy agent after spy agent is executed. The threat of imminent death makes romance and romantic interludes all the sweeter, and the suspense of waiting for a love one to return even more traumatic. Captain Graham, with his loyal following of sailors and marines, takes prize ship after prize ship, thwart plot after diabolical plot, and finds romance when he least expects it. To his amazement and joy, he finds himself being knighted by the King of England. The good life is his, now all he has to do is to live long enough to enjoy it. A rollicking good tale of sea action and swashbuckling adventures.

Our priests have lied for 2,500 years. First, they did so hoping to create a better world. As they forgot their own history, they also lied out of ignorance. Laughing at the Devil: One Man's Religious Discoveries opens up the past they turned their backs to, and the astronomic investigations which slowly pushed them away from polytheism. These pages share the thirty-three celestial events the biblical Samson story was created from. Those events reveal the deep ties that connected the Israelites to their Mesopotamian predecessors, and illuminate the gradual evolution which occurred as our early investigators realized the planets were too cyclical to be self-willed deities. Other astronomic puzzles are also solved, including the 'three paths' of the Babylonian astronomers, and the original thought behind Nibiru-which was one of the fifty names given to the planet Jupiter 3,700 ago. The author's childhood cult experience is also shared, revealing the drama that pushed him to study our religious heritage so deeply. Hopefully, understanding these historic lies help us go beyond our present problems, which are rooted in those old thoughts.

David Hume (1711-1776) is perhaps best known for his treatises on problems of epistemology, skepticism, and causation. A less familiar side of his intellectual output is his work on legal and political theory. David Hume's Political Theory brings together Hume's diverse writings on law and government, collected and examined with a view to revealing the philosopher's coherent and persuasive theory of politics.Through close textual analysis, Neil McArthur suggests that the key to Hume's political theory lies in its distinction between barbarous and civilized government. Throughout the study, the author explores Hume's argument that a society's progress from barbarism to civilization depends on the legal and political system by which it is governed. Ultimately, McArthur demonstrates that the skepticism apparent in much of Hume's work does not necessarily tie him to a strict conservative ideology; rather, Hume's political theory is seen to emphasize many liberal virtues as well.Based on a new conception of Hume's political philosophy, this is a groundbreaking work and a welcome addition to the existing literature.
