The Great Deception
In the aftermath of the cataclysmic battle that shook the very foundations of the world, the dust settles to reveal a landscape forever changed. The Antichrist lies vanquished, his reign of terror brought to an end by the unyielding resolve of those who dared to defy him. But victory comes at a cost, and the scars of war run deep in the hearts of the survivors. As they survey the wreckage left in the wake of the final showdown, they realize that the fight for freedom is far from over. For though the Antichrist may have been defeated, his dark legacy lives on in the hearts of men, a constant reminder of the fragility of peace in a world torn asunder by conflict. With the memory of their falle...
The Discovery
Alone at his observatory atop Mauna Kea Volcano in Hawaii, Dusty McCrae makes the discovery of his life ... another universe. Altitude plays tricks on the brain, and many nights of observing lie ahead before he can confirm the observations that will make his name the equal of Galileo and Hubble. But word leaks and trouble begins. Hes bombarded with inquiries by media, the public and scientists, many of them ridiculing him. Harassed by a reporter from a supermarket tabloid, he replies: "Sure there could be aliens ... and a god no one has ever imagined." A media-savvy televangelist jumps on the comments and McCrae becomes embroiled in religious controversy. Complications multiply when hes invi...

The Ethics of the Family
Our families are our first and most important ethical training grounds. But what is the family? And what are our ethical commitments to our family members and to the broader moral community? After a brief introductory chapter on basic ethical concepts and theories, the essays in this volume provide readers with ethical analyses of issues ranging from same-sex marriage to a controversial proposal to “license” parents. The chapters cover love, sex, marriage, parents and children, the relationship between the family and the larger moral community, and the influence of emerging technologies on the ethical issues inherent in family life. The volume is intended to open up this exciting territory in applied ethics to those interested in philosophy, family studies, social work, and to anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the ethical forces at work in this most basic social institution.
Handbook of Marriage and the Family
The third edition of Handbook of Marriage and the Family describes, analyzes, synthesizes, and critiques the current research and theory about family relationships, family structural variations, and the role of families in society. This updated Handbook provides the most comprehensive state-of-the art assessment of the existing knowledge of family life, with particular attention to variations due to gender, socioeconomic, race, ethnic, cultural, and life-style diversity. The Handbook also aims to provide the best synthesis of our existing scholarship on families that will be a primary source for scholars and professionals but also serve as the primary graduate text for graduate courses on family relationships and the roles of families in society. In addition, the involvement of chapter authors from a variety of fields including family psychology, family sociology, child development, family studies, public health, and family therapy, gives the Handbook a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary framework.
Murder at Lake Tomahawk
Dusty McCrae is a world class cosmologist obsessed with discovering the secrets of the origin of the universe. He is also president of the generously endowed Pacific Science Institute which funds cutting-edge scientific research. On a routine flight to Washinton, D.C. a chance encounter with a young woman leads him back to Lake Tomahawk and the small community where he spent his boyhood summers. The encounter also leads him into the murders of old friends, and personal involvement in the investigations. Surprisingly, Lake Tomahawk has evolved from the sleepy summer community of his youth to an affluent residential enclave, and headquarters to a successful entrepreneurial company that is making major scientific breakthroughs. Teaming with the young woman from the plane, McCrae and Naomi Davis are caught up in a maelstrom of life-threatening events. Their odyssey takes them to the Big Island of Hawaii with its telescopes on dormant Mauna Kea and lava flows pouring from Kilauea, and then back again to Lake Tomahawk. Only then do they get a glimpse of the truth behind an amazing reality.
