Mark Peterson makes an extraordinary claim in this fascinating book focused around the life and thought of Galileo: it was the mathematics of Renaissance arts, not Renaissance sciences, that became modern science. Painters, poets, musicians, and architects brought about a scientific revolution that eluded the philosopher-scientists of the day.

In recent decades, globalization has led to increased mobility and interconnectedness. For a growing number of people, contemporary life entails new local and transnational interdependencies which transform individual and collective allegiances. Contemporary literature often reflects these changes through its exploration of migrant experiences and transcultural identities. Calling into question traditional definitions of culture, many recent works of poetry and prose fiction go beyond the spatial boundaries of a given state, emphasizing instead the mixing and collision of languages, cultures, and identities. In doing so, they also challenge recent and contemporary discourses about cultural i...

Anna Maria Dane is a woman who is struggling with despair after losing her father and fianc in the attacks of September 11, 2001. Her pain turns into anger, which gives birth to a desire for revenge, and she obtains it in the only way she can, by going after individuals still alive who helped bring that day about. She gets amazing and unusual assistance from Braeden Maguire, a guilt-ridden CIA operative, whose reasons for helping her are not what they seem. Anna Maria's killing spree takes her to some of the most beautiful and dangerous places in the world, and the things she discovers people did to help the hijackers carry out their mission astonishes her. But killing these people does not bring her peace, so she sets out to confront the terrorist leader who masterminded the September 11th plot. Killing this individual, a man whom the CIA has dubbed "The Most Dangerous Man Alive", is not easy and she herself is almost killed. So close to death's door and willing to stay there, the people around her refusing to give up on her, Anna Maria soon comes to realize that living is the best revenge of all.
"Distant voices drawing near is a tribute to the scholarly career of Antoinette Clark Wire, the Robert S. Dollar Professor of New Testament at the San Francisco Theological Seminary. In recognition of her work, the contributors to the volume have critically engaged the areas of Christian origins and the role of women in the biblical world, hermeneutics and feminist perspectives in biblical interpretation, and cross-cultural study of the Bible."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
