The Boiler Room Boys
In The Boiler Room Boys: An Underground Story of Science, Religion, and the Faith that Fuels Both, Tim Smith describes how from too-young an age he followed two seemingly alternate paths, religion and science, only to find that they are not alternate at all. His so-called “yellow brick road” began with a group of boys meeting independently in his grade school’s boiler room. Conflicting teaching by religious and scientific fundamentalists led him toward a PhD in biomathematics and toward atheism. His attraction to theology and philosophy and the events of his life drew his path back toward the connection between science and his childhood Christianity. However, it wasn’t the intellectu...

Psychocinematics
Largely through trial and error, filmmakers have developed engaging techniques that capture our sensations, thoughts, and feelings. Philosophers and film theorists have thought deeply about the nature and impact of these techniques, yet few scientists have delved into empirical analyses of our movie experience-or what Arthur P. Shimamura has coined "psychocinematics." This edited volume introduces this exciting field by bringing together film theorists, philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists to consider the viability of a scientific approach to our movie experience.

The Danger of Raising Nice Kids
Nice is not enough. We are raising a generation of "nice" kids. Nice kids are well behaved and look good on the outside, but they often lack courageous character inside. Offering practical wisdom gleaned from his experience as a parent and family coach, Tim Smith helps you move your kids from simply polite to truly compassionate. He targets nine key qualities children need but often lack and shows you how to build them into your children by modeling core values and biblical practices. Your kids can be--and indeed, are meant to be--kingdom builders who help bring God's light and life to others through their decisions and influence. "Being nice won't help them stand apart," Tim says. "We need to strategically train our children to engage and challenge the popular views of our culture." Here is a clear, down-to-earth resource that will help you do just that. But be prepared for change--in you, in your kids and in the world.
The Ghosts of Sand Island Lighthouse
During a summer in the community of Fort Morgan, Alabama, Sam and Dex, along with their newfound friend and soon-to-be crush Mac, begin to realize ghosts inhabit the area, and the spirits are not only frightening, they’re bent on destruction. After finding a cryptic message left by Sam’s now deceased grandfather, the trio realizes they may be the only ones who stand in the way of the ghoulish General’s vile and fiendish plans. Every other chapter early in the book tells the true story of the untimely demise of some of the future ghosts in the area around Fort Morgan and Dauphin Island. As the ghosts manifest to our characters, Sam realizes that clues and a trinket (that in reality is a talisman) left behind by his grandfather may have been provided to prevent a takeover by the evil spirits. With little hope battling the evil entities, the General steals Grandma’s dog, McRuff, in the hope of luring our heroes into what he believes will be a gruesome ending, and as a hurricane approaches the trio battles not only the ghosts but mother nature in a fight for not only Fort Morgan and Gulf Shores but also their lives.
Arabs
A riveting, comprehensive history of the Arab peoples and tribes that explores the role of language as a cultural touchstone This kaleidoscopic book covers almost 3,000 years of Arab history and shines a light on the footloose Arab peoples and tribes who conquered lands and disseminated their language and culture over vast distances. Tracing this process to the origins of the Arabic language, rather than the advent of Islam, Tim Mackintosh-Smith begins his narrative more than a thousand years before Muhammad and focuses on how Arabic, both spoken and written, has functioned as a vital source of shared cultural identity over the millennia. Mackintosh-Smith reveals how linguistic developments--from pre-Islamic poetry to the growth of script, Muhammad's use of writing, and the later problems of printing Arabic--have helped and hindered the progress of Arab history, and investigates how, even in today's politically fractured post-Arab Spring environment, Arabic itself is still a source of unity and disunity.
