Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Van Bueren is a man's man. He likes scotch, long legs and Die Hard. His world is direct with no room for spoilsports. He paints, he philanders and he loves bacon. When he goes to an LA party and has his lights punched out, he wakes up in Paris and has to walk a fine line between disbelief and acceptance. The Pantheon has been working on project Paragon for a long time, and they need new talent, like Van. Apparently, the math and science folks have got it all wrong. Armed with that knowledge, people are now trying to kill him! With the help of his mysterious bombshell assistant, Evette, and his totally boss Mustang GT, Katie, he's got to stay one step ahead of his enemies, and two steps ahead of the trail of emotional wreckage he leaves in his wake. Tossed between two feuding secret societies, will he survive to once again swing his libido like a medieval weapon? Will he save the day, the girl and, more importantly, his car?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The catalyst for much of classical pragmatist political thought was the great waves of migration to the United States in the early twentieth century. José-Antonio Orosco examines the work of several pragmatist social thinkers, including John Dewey, W. E. B. Du Bois, Josiah Royce, and Jane Addams, regarding the challenges large-scale immigration brings to American democracy. Orosco argues that the ideas of the classical pragmatists can help us understand the ways in which immigrants might strengthen the cultural foundations of the United States in order to achieve a more deliberative and participatory democracy. Like earlier pragmatists, Orosco begins with a critique of the melting pot in favor of finding new ways to imagine the civic role of our immigrant population. He concludes that by applying the insights of American pragmatism, we can find guidance through controversial contemporary issues such as undocumented immigration, multicultural education, and racialized conceptions of citizenship.

Book excerpt: The book reveals the nexus between religion and politics today and shows that we live in an interdependent world where one global civilization is emerging and where the world’s peoples are continuing to coalesce around a series of values that contain potent Western overtones. Both Putin’s Orthodox Russia and regions under the control of such Islamist groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda resent and attempt, in a largely languishing effort, to frustrate this series of values. The book explains the current tension between the West and Russia and parts of the Muslim world and sheds light on the causes of such crises as the Syrian Civil War, Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, and acts of terrorism such as 9/11 and the ISIS-inspired massacres in Paris. It shows that religion continues to affect global order and that knowledge of its effect on political identity and global governance should guide both government policy and scholarly analysis of contemporary history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why have so many lost confidence and hope in spite of the progress of modern times? Why do even those who deny their despair run ever faster in pursuit of pleasures that burn all thought from their minds? Distinguished Christian thinker Harold O. J. Brown argues in this incisive analysis that our culture suffers such symptoms because we have cut ourselves off from our spiritual roots. We are in the last stages of what the late Russian scholar Pitirim Sorokin called a late, degenerate, sensate culture. Furthermore, this crisis of culture is too opaque to be penetrated by human understanding and efforts alone. Instead we must begin by confessing our need for grace and wisdom from above. Brown shows how, with that confession, Christians may be able to point the way out of cultural despair. They above all people know the power of faith, hope, and love. Hence the author can conclude that, There are some indications that disillusionment with the fading favors of a rotting sensate culture is causing people to become receptive to solutions that are identifiably Christian.
