As a special agent of VATE (Vampires Against the Evil), Samuel Johnson is no stranger to ridding the world of unsavory creatures. But in this Midwestern shopping mall, on this seemingly typical Friday night, Samuel faces his greatest challenge yet.Under orders from his superiors, the vampire must track down and capture a sinister vampwolf, while rescuing any humans that remain under its threat. And to make matters worse, he'll have to complete his mission working side-by-side with an ancient enemy of vampirekind-one of the wild, impulsive Hairy Ones known more commonly as werewolves.As if dealing with human stupidity wasn't bad enough, Samuel now has to find common ground with this mutt-who, by the way, is under his own orders to kill, rather than capture, the vampwolf on sight.As the unlikely duo embark on their dangerous search-and-rescue mission, will their story be a touching testament to the power of cooperation? Or will they prove, once and for all, why vampires and werewolves should never work together?
Samuel Ibn Tibbon's Commentary on Ecclesiastes
Samuel Ibn Tibbon (c. 1165-1232) - the eminent translator, philosopher, and exegete - is most famous for his Hebrew translation of Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed. However, he wrote original works as well, and laid the foundations for a distinctive philosophical-exegetical movement, what is today called 'Maimonideanism'. James T. Robinson's book includes a first English translation of Ibn Tibbon's commentary on Ecclesiastes, which was the foundational work of the Maimonidean tradition. The translation, with full annotation, is accompanied by an introduction, which provides relevant historical, philosophical and exegetical background, explains difficult passages, and identifies Ibn Tibbon's important contributions to the emergence of Maimonideanism. The author analyzes Ibn Tibbon's sources and influences (in Jewish philosophy and exegesis and in Graeco-Arabic philosophy, especially al-Farabi and Averroes), discusses his theory and method of exegesis, and explains the main arguments and allegories of the work which relate to the problem of human perfection. Responding to and developing the various positions of his time - especially the infamous view of al-Farabi that immortality of the soul "is nothing but an old wife's tale" - Ibn Tibbon argues that conjunction with the active intellect is possible but rare: only "one man in a thousand" can attain it. Thus, while the elite few should pursue it - through a life of study and contemplation - the many should focus on perfection in this world: they should "eat, drink, and show the soul good".

My name is Samuel Johnson, and I'm a vampire. This is my journal recounting the series of events that led to this written form of punishment...or "rehabilitation" as some call it.I'm a member of an organization called Vampires Against the Evil (VATE), which identifies aliens disguised as humans-and kills them. We're supposed to avoid killing humans who aren't aliens, but it's usually okay if a few die. Truthfully, we can do just about anything to accomplish our mission. It's a limitless policy.Or so I thought.My last mission was to infiltrate AGI, a property-casualty insurance company, and kill the alien placed there. According to some, my investigation went awry. This "therapeutic" journal tells that story, in hopes that I learn from my mistakes.

Vampire Blood Supply of Central Iowa is a state-run blood bank by and for vampires to acquire human blood and distribute it to vampires. Unfortunately, collections are down and thieves are stealing blood during the distribution.My name is Samuel Johnson. I'm a vampire and also an agent for Vampires Against The Evil. I have to solve both of these problems.Blood is important to us vampires since without it we'll either go comatose or become like our evil kindred who drink blood directly from humans and kill them.The answer is easy. Blood International or BI, a worldwide organization that has a monopoly for selling blood, is in Central Iowa and is marketing its services to the authorities of human-friendly vampires. One of their methods of convincing locals to buy their services is by impairing the works of the local VBS.Only it's not that simple. Because thieves are stealing the blood that BI is stealing from the VBS. BI leaves VBS drivers alive. The thieves taking from BI are less generous because they kill the drivers.I have to sort out this mess and find the spies in the different organizations before our good vampires turn evil.

After being sent to Colorado, Samuel Johnson, an agent for Vampires Against The Evil (VATE), never expected to come back to Iowa. But here he is, and something serious is going down. A quick drink of blood is all Samuel has time for before he's right in the middle of the mess.In a world filled with feral vampires (who act no better than animals) and the Evil Ones (whose hobbies are murder and torture), VATE is there to protect humans, who are too weak and vulnerable to defend themselves. Except that something has changed.There's a new group of human vampire hunters-and they're unusually effective. Samuel's boss suspects an alien has infiltrated their ranks. There's no other way to explain the group's success. Humans can't kill vampires-it just isn't right.Samuel goes undercover, joining the hunters as they kill vamps, but before he can expose the alien, the group realizes there is a traitor in their midst. As the investigation continues, Samuel must keep the hunters' attention focused on gangs of ferals and Evil Ones-and off himself.When the truth is finally uncovered, the fight gets bloody. Winning this one will take everything Samuel's got.

Jimmy has no intention of finding a mate---ever. But when he finds this beautiful mechanic---a human no less---bleeding to death, his wolf kicks in to save her. She has no scent, but he's pretty sure she's his mate... His plan? To save her, then stay as far away from her as he can... Gab isn't any happier to find out she has a mate than Jimmy is---she's a loner and just wants everyone to leave her alone. However, Stephen and Samuel have other ideas... Thrown together, Gab and Jimmy have to work out their issues. And after one taste of her Jimmy is warming up to the idea...maybe this "mate" thing isn't so bad after all...that is until he accidentally converts her to a wolf without her permission... With the hunter now the hunted, they turn up the heat when Jimmy joins her. Some very powerful beings are after the elusive "Silver Queen". When they kidnap Samuel as bait, all bets are off. Things are never as they seem, and the supernatural world has big plans for Gab. But the mental link everyone has with Samuel is been blocked. Will they find him before the vampires sacrifice him, or will Gab just be walking into a trap? Find out in the 2nd installment of the Samuel's Pride Series---James.

How shall we construe social institutions and social movements for change in the twentyfirst century?The illustrious contributors include: Anthony B. Pinn, Katie G. Cannon, Noel Erksine, Jacob Olupona, Riggins R. Earl Jr., James H. Cone, Dwight N. Hopkins, Lewis V. Baldwin, Jonathan L. Walton, Rosetta E. Ross, Traci C. West, Melanie L.
