The Scarecrow & Lady Kingston
John Scarecrow is a living, breathing, talking scarecrow with a heart of gold and has joined the LAPD to fight for truth and justice. Julie Kingston, a beautiful yet emotionally volatile cop with a penchant for bending the rules, is his partner. She doesn't mind the fact that her partner is a scarecrow. In fact, she prefers it that way. Investigating a series of bizarre murders involving the violent homicide of upscale call girls, the assassination of a U.S. senator, and a series of death threats against one of Hollywood's leading ladies, they find themselves at the center of a notorious assassin's web of murder and mayhem. When things get weird that's when they get cracking. Because weird is exactly how they like it.
Ignosticism
What if the question “Does God exist?” proved to be meaningless? What if the very definition of “God” was incoherent? Could you still, in good conscience, believe in something if it was incoherent and meaningless? Would it even be possible to talk about an incoherent and meaningless thing meaningfully? If not, then what consequences would follow from this realization? These are the questions which the branch of philosophy known as ignosticism concerns itself with. Ignosticism: A Philosophical Justification for Atheism examines these questions and delves into the idea that “God” is a type of language-game. Taking a Wittgensteinian view of language, Tristan Vick takes us on a journey from learning theory to semantics to psychology in this philosophical exploration of whether or not the idea of God holds any relevant meaning. Perhaps more controversial still, Vick makes the case that ignosticism, properly understood, can be used as a positive justification for the reasonableness of atheism.

In The Away Game, reporter Sebastian Abbot follows a small group of the boys as they are discovered on dirt fields across Africa, join the glittering academy in Doha where they train, and compete for the chance to gain fame and fortune at Europ...
