Two popular gay bartenders--one a winner of an important and lucrative competition--are found dead in a tony Philadelphia neighborhood. The police are ready to close the case as a murder-suicide. But P.I. Marco Fontana has a hunch that there's more to the crime than a domestic dispute gone horribly wrong. He'll need all his wits and resources, however, because the Chief of Detectives hates him and won't let him anywhere near the case. Besides, the evidence backs up the murder-suicide theory. Complicating things further is the fact that a local, wealthy, and very powerful gay businessman hires Marco to help prove that the police are right Fontana agrees but only on the condition that he enters into the investigation with no set objectives other than finding the Truth. At the same time, Marco's personal life is becoming more and more complicated--should he try to rekindle things with an old flame or should he get more serious with a hot barista who is ready for more? Personal life aside Fontana gets immersed in the case and finds that it leads him down some dangerous and seedy avenues in the City of Brotherly Love and toward some surprising conclusions about what he thought he knew about the people around him and the city he loves.

Will they be able to overcome this serious breech that threatens to derail the investigation ...and their relationship?

Step into the shadows with the first of a series that blends deduction with suspense... and blood. Dru is not a commonplace vampire - he's The Inquisitor, chosen by the elders of a most sanguine and secret society. His role is to investigate sedition and punish treason among the undead, of whom there are clans, factions, and territories. He's made enemies over the centuries. He's dealt with many of them using the help of myriad assistants, including gargoyle spies. But now a mysterious force has broken one of the cardinal rules governing vampire society. The first signs that something is wrong are small. They go unnoticed in the elegant clubs and refined circles inhabited by the vampire elite. But in the underbelly of the undead world, in those locations only certain humans and vampires can be found, there are those who notice. The danger is real and it is coming. A terrible threat that could lead to complete madness unleashed on an unsuspecting world causes Dru to embark on an epic journey. From the posh clubs of Philadelphia to hidden monasteries in the Alps, lines are being drawn and Dru's fortitude will be tested as he discovers the meaning behind A Warning in Blood.

A Battle in Blood

pokkari
A Battle in Blood finds Dru Nekkarn, Prime Inquisitor for the Protectorate, in the midst of a worsening crisis which began in A Warning in Blood. Hundreds of children continue to be turned by a mysterious and fanatical group of anarchist vampires. The turning of children causes not only heartbreak and chaos but also violent retribution against vampires in Protectorate lands. Slayers are awakening humans to the existence of vampires and causing havoc. Someone in the vampire government is planning a coup which will bring civil war. And dangerously fanatic vampires are trying to engineer the destruction of the peaceful order created by the Oldest Old vampires. The oldest generation of the undead devised a system to keep both human and vampire worlds at peace and apart. But the forces of chaos and anarchy want to return things to a more barbaric world in which humans are farmed like animals to be fed upon at will by undead overlords. This is an appealing prospect for many vampires who chafe under the yoke of peace and order. In this crumbling vampire landscape, Dru is tasked with destroying the vampires causing the chaos and then helping to restore the government. Though he meets with fierce resistance and must battle the forces of chaos on his own, he makes headway. But advances in this war come with a price: some of his companions are lost in the fray, some will never be the same. Dru is also confronted with a mysterious newly-created young vampire who is somehow connected to forces that are beyond ancient and who may either help Dru or might very well be the one to bring about the end of the new vampire order. If Dru battles his way out of the current crisis will that stop the fanatic advance? Will he be able to reconstitute the government and let them start again? There are challenges even after A Battle in Blood has been fought.

The Historical Imagination of G.K. Chesterton

The Historical Imagination of G.K. Chesterton

Joseph R. McCleary

Routledge

sidottu
This study examines a selection of Chesterton’s novels, poetry, and literary criticism and outlines the distinctive philosophy of history that emerges from these writings. Looking at Chesteron's relationship with and influence upon authors including William Cobbett, Sir Walter Scott, Belloc, Shaw, H.G. Wells, Christopher Dawson, Evelyn Waugh, and Marshall McLuhan, McCleary contends that Chesterton’s recurring use of the themes of locality, patriotism, and nationalism embodies a distinctive understanding of what gives history its coherence. The study concludes that Chesterton’s emphasis on locality is the hallmark of his historical philosophy in that it blends the concepts of free will, specificity, and creatureliness which he uses to make sense of history.

Procrastination and Task Avoidance

Procrastination and Task Avoidance

Joseph R. Ferrari; Judith Louise Bond Johnson; William G. McCown

Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers
1995
sidottu
Procrastination is a fascinating, highly complex human phenomenon for which the time has come for systematic theoretical and therapeutic effort. The present volume reflects this effort. It was a labor of love to read this scholarly, timely book-the first of its kind on the topic. It was especially encouraging to find that its authors are remarkably free of the phenomenon they have been investigating. One might have expected the opposite. It has often been argued that people select topics that trouble them and come to understand their problems better by studying or treating them in others. This does not appear to be true of the procrastination researchers represented in this book. I base this conclusion on two simple observations. First, the work is replete with recent refer­ ences and the book itself has reached the reader scarcely a year following its completion. Second, when one considers the remarkable pace of pro­ grammatic research by these contributors during the past decade, it is clear that they are at the healthy end of the procrastination continuum. The fascinating history of the term procrastination is well documented in this book. The term continues to conjure up contrasting, eloquent images-especially for poets. When Edward Young wrote in 1742, "Pro­ crastination is the Thief of Time," he was condemning the waste of the most precious of human commodities.

Paul and the Giants of Philosophy – Reading the Apostle in Greco–Roman Context

Paul and the Giants of Philosophy – Reading the Apostle in Greco–Roman Context

Joseph R. Dodson; David E. Briones; John M. G. Barclay

IVP Academic
2019
nidottu
Biblical Foundations Award Finalist What forces shaped the intellectual world of the apostle Paul? How familiar was he with the great philosophers of his age, and to what extent was he influenced by them? When he quoted Greco-Roman sources, what was his aim? Pauline scholars wrestle with such questions in journal articles and technical monographs, but now Paul and the Giants of Philosophy brings the conversation into the college classroom and the church. Each essay addresses Paul's interaction with Greco-Roman philosophical thinking on a particular topic, such as faith, slavery, gift-giving, and the afterlife. And each chapter includes discussion questions and reading lists to help readers engage the material further. Dodson and Briones have gathered contributors with diverse views from various traditions who are united in the desire to make Paul's engagement with ancient philosophy accessible to many readers.

The geologist Joseph Beete Jukes (1811–1869) studied at Cambridge under Adam Sedgwick (1785–1873). Between 1839 and 1846, he participated in expeditions to the coasts of Newfoundland, Australia and New Guinea. This posthumous book, edited by Jukes' sister and published in 1871, contains selected highlights from Jukes' professional and personal writings. After a short biographical sketch, the material is arranged chronologically, beginning with Newfoundland and Australia and then focusing on Britain and Ireland, where Jukes was involved with national geological surveys. Linking passages by the editor explain the contexts of the pieces, and the book includes a list of Jukes' publications. Jukes lived during an exciting period that saw far-reaching discoveries and advances in his field, and his energy and enthusiasm permeates even his technical communications. Modern readers, like the original audience, will form a vivid impression of Jukes' lively personality, his 'penetrating glance and his sturdy step'.
