The Archer Who Shot Himself in the Back
“The Archer Who Shot Himself in the Back,” (69,408 words; 191pages). It begins with a random murder, ordered by an insane “Prophet,” interrupting the honeymoon of a pair of newly retired Military Intelligence operatives, and ends with the “Prophet” being defeated in a polo match against the new bride. “The Archer” story concerns the events of the first three months after good guys John Horn and Francesca Flaminare are married. It opens on the (fictional) island of d'Oc located in the English Channel which, like the (really existent) island, Sark, is a left-over from the time when France claimed possession of England and the Channel islands. Francesca inherits a manor house th...
New Gold for Old Crimes
This suspense comedy, whose central characters are Inspector John Horn and his sidekick, soon-to-be-wife, Francesca Flaminare, involves the attempt by a secret society of Assassins in India to steal near-bomb-grade Plutonium in order first, to construct a bomb and then, using the threat of thermonuclear war if they are not recognized, to declare a separate state. One of their own submits to being killed in order to confuse the police by an apparent "perfect crime". Several of their number are murdered to silence them as the police close in. Finally, the ring-leader, a doctor, is apprehended and handed over to an Indian Army officer to stand trial in India, where he will be executed. After they have solved this case, Horn and Francesca marry one another.
Nurturing Evolution
In Nurturing Evolution, Richard B. Carter cites several fields of knowledge in order more comprehensively to argue that a human being is specifically a political animal rather than a hostile naked ape which has partially given up its solitary interests to survive in competition with other hostile naked apes. Carter argues that humanness itself is in significant part a result of childhood nurture beginning at birth and that institutions of early nurture comprise "social wombs" i.e., true extensions of those evolutionary processes controlling fetal development within the mother's womb. Carter further argues that the political creations designed to protect and nourish those "social wombs" are in effect also adjuncts of human evolution. Nurturing Evolution ends by elaborating on the great dissimilarity between morally responsible human adults produced within politically nurtured families and the naked apes envisaged by other schools of political theory.
Olympia's Makeover
This comedy is a "Punch & Judy" show of the heart. "Punch," Jean-Philippe Gautier, a remarkably handsome Anglo-Frenchman, is deeply in love with Olympia, i.e., "Judy." Olympia, who is just as deeply in love with him, feels she has been cursed with what she (wrongly) considers to be a homely face and cannot believe that Jean-Philippe's frequent advances are not motivated by a Gallic contempt for Americans in general and in particular for rich American women in love with French heart-throbs. They spend their time clubbing one another because of their mutual misunderstandings, but finally marry at the end. Set in Vienna, Philadelphia and Paris, the story will appeal to those readers who appreci...
Divine Machines
"his book provides a comprehensive survey of G. W. Leibniz's deep and complex engagement with the sciences of life, in areas as diverse as medicine, physiology, taxonomy, generation theory, and paleontology. It is shown that these sundry interests were not only relevant to his core philosophical interests, but indeed often provided the insights that in part led to some of his most familiar philosophical doctrines, including the theory of corporeal substance and the theory of organic preformation"--
