This edition comprises the first two books of the natural philosophy section of a unique teacher’s manual on Avicenna’s philosophy, authored by his second-generation student Abu ’l-?Abbas al-Lawkari (d. after 503/1109). Al-Lawkari was the person responsible for promoting Avicenna’s philosophy in Khorasan at a time when theologians like Abu ?amid al-Ghazali (d. 505/1111) condemned its most fundamental tenets. The importance of this work lies in al-Lawkari’s endeavour to provide the resources for a condensed yet comprehensive lecture course on Avicenna’s philosophy, with the aim of perpetuating his ideas. His covert use of the work of his teacher Bahmanyar (d. 458/1066) is especially noteworthy, here as well as in other sections of this work.

His hand extended, palm upturned, he wiggled his fingers, and she settled hers in it, rising at his tug. He didn't bother to close the car door, but walked her into the light of his headlamps and drew her into his arms. Swaying, he sang a tune from his younger years, but what had been done on a stage in a cloud of cigarette smoke in front of people who didn't care about the words held a new meaning spoken to her. She gazed at him briefly, then dropped her cheek to his chest, and something happened in his heart that he couldn't stop. She burnt a place there, a hollow shaped exactly like her, and he determined to somehow make it stay. Though she grew up with her hippy mom on the west coast, Pepper Dupree has always been close to her billionaire dad, which made moving home to nurse him through a horrible illness an easy choice. But from the start, something isn't normal. He's uneasy, unsettled. A late night drive to scope out a possible multimillion-dollar sale lands real-estate mogul, Bryon Spelding, at Pepper's door, and instantly, there are sparks. Yet, she's the first woman to interest him since he straightened up his life, and he's not sure how to behave. Especially given the secret he's kept from everyone. A secret that takes on new weight when Pepper's dad gives her his entire estate. It's money she would have inherited anyway, so why now? The truth will rock the Billionaire Boys Club and force Bryon's hidden life to the forefront where the woman he's fallen for might not like what she sees. Book 6 in the BILLIONAIRE BOYS CLUB by best-selling author, SUZANNE D. WILLIAMS.

Legends speak of myth and magic passed down through folklore – but not all threats come cloaked in spells. After a long journey, the heroes return – older, wiser, and hoping for peace. But peace is shattered when Uncle Julius reappears. He has no magic, no enchanted staff, no ancient curse. Just a voice as smooth as silk and a smile that hides a thousand lies. With nothing but his words, Julius can twist the truth, turn friends into foes, and bend even the kindest creatures to his will. Now, he’s spreading his influence across the land, determined to control every living being – and to erase the name Tobler from the world forever. As ancient stories awaken and strange forces stir, the heroes must face their most dangerous challenge yet: a battle not of strength, but of trust, courage, and the power to resist a villain who doesn’t need magic to conquer everything. Can they stop him before the name Tobler – and everything it stands for – is lost forever?
