The Edenbury Chronicles: Volume One
When bizarre insurance claims flood a small town agency, a new agent reluctantly starts piecing together parts of an ancient agenda—one in which creation seeks to awaken humanity to truths long forgotten. Zeke’s hopes of relocating to a quiet midwestern town are disrupted when he uncovers a conspiracy tied to events that occurred fifty years prior. His adventures are chronicled by the local newspaper which seems to have an interest in what nature is doing in Edenbury and beyond. Zeke is joined by Lucy, who works at the insurance agency and seems to have her own unique relationship with nature. A former head-banger-turned-priest named Father “Shredder” Vance drives around a golf cart and interprets current events as an ancient agenda unfolds around them. Sheriff Stephanie joins the group and has a long history with the town and Father Vance. Zeke’s background at the big city corporate office looms over him. Meanwhile, new relationships and challenges meet him in little Edenbury.

Meanwhile, a new writer at the Chronicle finds himself in the middle of the mystery and suspense as creation groans louder and Heaven breaks through in mysterious ways and dangerous places. Join the adventure with intriguing new characters and old favorites in this second installment of The Edenbury Chronicles: Living in a Miracle Town.

Psychopathy
The last two decades have seen tremendous growth in biological research on psychopathy, a mental disorder distinguished by traits including a lack of empathy or emotional response, egocentricity, impulsivity, and stimulation seeking. But how does a psychopathOCOs brain work? What makes a psychopath'a a Psychopathy aprovides a concise, non-technical overview of the research in the areas of genetics, hormones, brain imaging, neuropsychology, environmental influences, and more, focusing on explaining what we currently know about the biological foundations for this disorder and offering insights into prediction, intervention, and prevention.

Regard for Reason in the Moral Mind
The burgeoning science of ethics has produced a trend toward pessimism. Ordinary moral thought and action, we're told, are profoundly influenced by arbitrary factors and ultimately driven by unreasoned feelings. This book counters the current orthodoxy on its own terms by carefully engaging with the empirical literature. The resulting view, optimistic rationalism, shows the pervasive role played by reason our moral minds, and ultimately defuses sweeping debunking arguments in ethics. The science does suggest that moral knowledge and virtue don't come easily. However, despite the heavy influence of automatic and unconscious processes that have been shaped by evolutionary pressures, we needn't reject ordinary moral psychology as fundamentally flawed or in need of serious repair. Reason can be corrupted in ethics just as in other domains, but a special pessimism about morality in particular is unwarranted. Moral judgment and motivation are fundamentally rational enterprises not beholden to the passions.

The BEGINNING is near!
The Moral Brain
Scientists no longer accept the existence of a distinct moral organ as phrenologists once did. A generation of young neurologists is using advanced technological medical equipment to unravel specific brain processes enabling moral cognition. In addition, evolutionary psychologists have formulated hypotheses about the origins and nature of our moral architecture. Little by little, the concept of a ‘moral brain’ is reinstated. As the crossover between disciplines focusing on moral cognition was rather limited up to now, this book aims at filling the gap. Which evolutionary biological hypotheses provide a useful framework for starting new neurological research? How can brain imaging be used to corroborate hypotheses concerning the evolutionary background of our species? In this reader, a broad range of prominent scientists and philosophers shed their expert view on the current accomplishments and future challenges in the field of moral cognition and assess how cooperation between neurology and evolutionary psychology can boost research into the field of the moral brain.
The Walking Dead Live!
In 2010, The Walking Dead premiered on AMC and has since become the most watched scripted program in the history of basic cable. Based on the graphic novel series by Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead provides a stark, metaphoric preview of what the end of civilization might look like: the collapse of infrastructure and central government, savage tribal anarchy, and purposeless hordes of the wandering wounded. While the representation of zombies has been a staple of the horror genre for more than half a century, the unprecedented popularity of The Walking Dead reflects an increased identification with uncertain times. In The Walking Dead Live! Essays on the Television Show, Philip L. Simpson a...
