Jack's Life
The accompanying DVD features an exclusive interview with Douglas Gresham, stepson to C. S. Lewis who wrote this first-hand biography of the famous author .
Independent
He was a prominent member of Congress, a brilliant administrator, an advisor to Presidents, an influential political figure in the old conservative style. He embodied the traits of free thinking and independence that are regarded as emblematic of the American character. He was perhaps the last American ambassador to have any major impact on U.S. foreign policy. Yet, as the authors show in their insightful biography, Lewis Douglas spent the final twenty years of his life disillusioned and disenchanted with the direction of American leadership. The authors focus on what was perhaps the most telling of Douglas's roles : his service under President Truman as ambassador to Great Britain from 1947...

An overview of the English-language poetry of the Second World War, focussing on five of the most remarkable poets of that conflict.
Trajectories
This volume engages with the work of E. Douglas Lewis, who has made major contributions to the understanding of Eastern Indonesia, ethnography, culture, and religion, as well as a neurobiologically informed anthropology. Lewis' work on the Ata Tana 'Ai (People of the Forest) of Flores has long been regarded as a seminal work on culture and society in Eastern Indonesia. His 'precedence theory' became highly influential among anthropologists in their interpretations of other social groups in the region. In this volume, however, a group of scholars influenced by his work undertake diverse and thought-provoking excursions from Lewis' work, shedding light on his insights on subjects ranging from Eastern Indonesian ethnography, to theorizing culture change, to development, and to the nascent field of 'neuroanthropology'. Of particular note, this book also features an extended contribution by Lewis that is, as Professor James J. Fox notes in this book's foreword, 'the kind of serious contemplation of an intellectual trajectory that every senior anthropologist should be urged to write'.
Lenten Lands
A memoir by Joy Davidman's son that retells the love story of his mother and C. S. Lewis.
To Cure the Humans!
After wrecking his car on the way to work, Dr. Benjamin Cotter's day gets worse when he is abducted by Cyril, an alien bounty hunter. Cyril has landed on Earth in pursuit of Peter, a resourceful fugitive alien who just happens to possess a device (the BAT) than can cure any disease in any species. When Peter innocently uses the BAT on humans, he draws the wrath of dangerous and powerful adversaries - a pharmaceutical start up, a major health insurance corporation, and a super-secret governmental agency. Their attempts to capture Peter and steal the BAT are thwarted when Peter receives help from a cynical liberal-arts major administrative assistant and her retired steel-worker father. When Dr. Cotter escapes Cyril's clutches, he joins forces with Peter. But in the end it takes a more powerful force to save the BAT - and to cure the humans!
Jacks Life
C S 'Jack' Lewis - author of Prince Caspian - was not the academic recluse, shielded from life's difficulties, that he is usually made out to be. This title shows you just what the man behind The Chronicles of Narnia was really like, and helps you learn from his example how to be a 'saint'.
