Yeshua: Boyhood of the Christ
No figure in history has surpassed Christ in the impact his short life had on the world. In this historical novel, the reader can relive the momentous birth, infancy and childhood of Jesus, against the backdrop of a turbulent period in which Rome assumed direct colonial rule over the Holy Land. Yeshua is the Aramaic name for Jesus and the author firmly roots the timeless story, based on accounts in the gospels of Luke and Matthew, within the original Jewish heritage into which Christ was born. The ancient story of the Nativity is enhanced throughout with vivid, jewel-like details. Such descriptions can only be effective and authentic when backed up by research into most recent archaeological...
Lord of the Bats
In Chrysalis, Jerry Fischer, suffering from muscular dystrophy, undergoes the world's first head transplant, to become a person with a new body and then, a few years later, a full-body cyborg. Then he mysteriously disappears after a bizarre "funeral for a head". Now, in Lord of the Bats, Jerry makes a dramatic return in the heart of the Southern African bush, leading a colony of migrating fruit bats as he, along with some family members and friends, attempt to discover the secret of human immunity, against the backdrop of a Nova Ebola pandemic that breaks out during this period. When the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency of the US Department of Defense tries to find out how the virus spread from bats to humans, a race is set in motion to find a cure for the exploding Ebola epidemic before a military attack is launched to exterminate the bat colony Jerry now rules.

Not Yet in Heaven
In Michael J. Lee's second volume of haiku, the poet presents 355 new poems in his highly personal style, including impressions of the world and nature passing him by, reflections of single insights or statements of ideas and principles of life. Vivid and authentic expressions, Lee's haiku encapsulate thoughts and experiences with an unexpected force achieved through clarity of vision, intensity of feeling and precision of language. Haiku in Not Yet in Heaven capture moments in time when living seemed to be at its most real for the poet. From commenting on current social issues to observing the four seasons at work, and from providing local colour about life in Cape Town to encapsulating speculative thoughts about God, these miniature verses will stimulate the reader's own perceptions and thinking. In a universe made up of atoms and other particles endlessly recycling, life comes to us mostly in small, but potent, moments. Sunbird Spring must be near, a ruby red blossom bringsa green sunbird here.
Bayesian Cognitive Modeling
Bayesian inference has become a standard method of analysis in many fields of science. Students and researchers in experimental psychology and cognitive science, however, have failed to take full advantage of the new and exciting possibilities that the Bayesian approach affords. Ideal for teaching and self study, this book demonstrates how to do Bayesian modeling. Short, to-the-point chapters offer examples, exercises, and computer code (using WinBUGS or JAGS, and supported by Matlab and R), with additional support available online. No advance knowledge of statistics is required and, from the very start, readers are encouraged to apply and adjust Bayesian analyses by themselves. The book contains a series of chapters on parameter estimation and model selection, followed by detailed case studies from cognitive science. After working through this book, readers should be able to build their own Bayesian models, apply the models to their own data, and draw their own conclusions.
J. Lee Thompson
First published on the fiftieth anniversary of his directorial debut, this book was the first to examine the work of a man once hailed as the finest film-maker to emerge from the British studio system after the Second World War. Before being recruited by Hollywood, J. Lee Thompson made a string of classic films including: Yield to the Night (1956), Ice Cold in Alex (1958), Tiger Bay (1959), North West Frontier (1959) and The Guns of Navarone (1961). He worked in the Hollywood industry into his late eighties, making nearly thirty films as a director and producer between 1960 and 1990. He remains best known, however, for his first: the immortal thriller Cape Fear (1962). Drawing on extensive interview material, Steve Chibnall traces Lee Thompson's career in British cinema, and offers an analysis of his films which reveals remarkable, and previously unacknowledged, continuities of style and theme. This is a book for anyone interested in the history of British cinema, and particularly those who enjoy the best of 1950s and 1960s film.
The Only Worlds We Know
The Only Worlds We Know is a nuanced and tactile look at both addiction, and what comes after. Patient meditations on loss and the land where the people we love live and are also buried. Includes poems such as "Waking Up Naked", "The Addict, a Magician", "The Pill", and "Just Yesterday" that have been watched by millions online.
The Erosion of Biblical Certainty
According to conventional wisdom, by the late 1800s, the image of Bible as a supernatural and infallible text crumbled in the eyes of intellectuals under the assaults of secularizing forces. This book corrects the narrative by arguing that in America, the road to skepticism had already been paved by the Scriptures' most able and ardent defenders.
Something in My Eye
Michael Jeffrey Lee writes like a redneck Samuel Beckett, sketching dystopias of life along the margins in contemporary New Orleans.
Creating Conservatism
Creating Conservatism charts the vital role of canonical post–World War II (1945–1964) books in generating, guiding, and sustaining conservatism as a political force in the United States. Dedicated conservatives have argued for decades that the conservative movement was a product of print, rather than a march, a protest, or a pivotal moment of persecution. The Road to Serfdom, Ideas Have Consequences, Witness, The Conservative Mind, God and Man at Yale, The Conscience of a Conservative, and other mid-century texts became influential not only among conservative office-holders, office-seekers, and well-heeled donors but also at dinner tables, school board meetings, and neighborhood reading...
