Counterclockwise is a suspenseful, character-driven historical mystery that follows Richard Warren, a man who wakes up in a blind alley two decades before his birth. He inadvertently meets a Sicilian woman who propels him into a wartime intrigue that affects American and Nazi efforts to win the war. Their fates intricately mesh over three days in 1942, which impacts lives not just during World War II, but others nearing the turn of the 21st century.

The book draws extensively on research on modern Greece in recent decades, and on the many perceptive commentaries on recent events in the Greek press. It adopts both an analytical and chronological approach and shows how Greece has both converged with western Europe and remained distinctively Balkan. David Close writes clearly and forcefully, and presents a lively picture of the Greek political system, economic development, social changes and foreign relations. Aimed at readers coming to the subject for the first time, this is a readable and informative introduction to contemporary Greece.
For nearly a century, the name Submarine Signal meant something special to its thousands of employees, to its many competitors, and to practitioners of the art of underwater acoustics the world over. From its modest beginnings in 1901as Submarine Signal Company, through its elevation to a full division of Raytheon Company in 1963, to its submergence into a new organization in 1998, SubSig, as it was known, was a vital part of the free world's defense, an important contributor to underwater acoustics and undersea technology. Though never the subject of an "organizational excellence" survey, it became home and family to the thousands of employees who made SubSig what it was—unassuming yet confident, relaxed yet hard-working, but with an accommodating persistence. History will record that SubSig was a pioneer in sonar and radar technologies. This book is an attempt at describing the events and people that made it a unique place.

What does it mean to be a human being? David Kelsey expertly probes this complicated issue in his exhaustive and ambitious examination of theological anthropology. Divided into three parts, Kelsey's work posits that humanity's relationship to God is a basic claim of Christianity and that God actively relates to human beings in three major ways: God creates them, God is there at the end of all things eschatologically, and God reconciles humans when they are alienated from God. The result of this seminal theological work is a textured affirmation of humanity's relationship with God and with each other. It represents the culmination of decades of theological thought and is certain to be recognized as a major achievement.
David Kelsey offers a groundbreaking discussion of Christian redemption by exploring the story of a series of horrendous events that befell a young boy and his family. Sam, eight years old, was stricken with a puzzling virus that left him physically and psychologically damaged. His family suffered greatly, as well. In the face of these events, Kelsey asks, what can it possibly mean to say that in Jesus Christ, God "redeems" such situations and events?
Most Christians work outside the church, so for many--if not most--of us, daily labor seems divorced from Christian beliefs and ethics. Work is an inevitable factor of human existence, and yet we do not have appropriate theological resources to help us reflect on its nature and meaning in light of Christian understanding and contemporary American culture. How can we as Christians understand our work as a dimension of our faith?
