Courting Athena
What really exists? How do I know my beliefs are correct? Are my actions objectively right or wrong (and why)? What is the role of government? What are the limits of science? Does God exist? What makes me, me? These questions are all philosophical in nature. But to most people, philosophy feels like an intimidating or irrelevant topic. Courting Athena is a short introduction into this amazing subject. However, unlike many other introductions to philosophy (which, at times, can be sterile, boring, and overwhelming), this book is written with the average reader in mind. It is a short, accessible, and engaging invitation that will teach you how to think more clearly about the world around you. Each chapter summarizes a major area of philosophy and introduces you to the major ideas and thinkers you need to know. Everything from knowledge to science to political systems to religion are addressed within these pages. Athena, the mythical goddess of wisdom, invites you to engage with her in a short, yet simple journey through the incredible topic of philosophy.

Logic for Christians
How do you know that what you believe is true? Is there absolute truth, and can you know it? Why do so many people disagree on so many important topics? How do you know when one argument is better than another? Why do so many people disagree about what the Bible says? All these questions can be answered with one word: Logic. This book will teach you how to think with a coherent and biblical worldview. It will show the importance of absolute truth and critical thinking for understanding the Bible and the culture around us. After reading it you will be able to make clear, sound arguments for why you believe what you believe, and you will also be able to critique the arguments of others. Perhaps no skill is more needed in our current culture than the ability to think well and know truth. This book will give you the tools you need to better assess your own beliefs and the world around you.

Bolick's Guide to Fantasy Baseball Prospects 2014
The Baseball America Prospect Handbook has been my one source on prospects for my fantasy baseball drafts in recent years, as they expend more diligence and effort than anyone in tracking down information on minor leaguers from people whose livelihoods depend on evaluating prospects. The reasons I wanted to write my own guide are twofold. First, evaluating prospects for real baseball and fantasy baseball are two very different things. For instance, Albert Almora rightly gets praised as a future star for the Chicago Cubs, and yet he has fairly little relevance to fantasy teams because his greatest strengths are in areas that aren't particularly relevant to our game. Meanwhile in the same syst...
The Emergence of the Moundbuilders
Native American societies, often viewed as unchanging, in fact experienced a rich process of cultural innovation in the millennia prior to recorded history. Societies of the Hocking River Valley in southeastern Ohio, part of the Ohio River Valley, created a tribal organization beginning about 2000 bc. Edited by Elliot M. Abrams and AnnCorinne Freter, The Emergence of the Moundbuilders: The Archaeology of Tribal Societies in Southeastern Ohio presents the process of tribal formation and change in the region based on analyses of all available archaeological data from the Hocking River Valley. Drawing on the work of scholars in archaeology, anthropology, geography, geology, and botany, the collection addresses tribal society formation through such topics as the first pottery made in the valley, aggregate feasting by nomadic groups, the social context for burying their dead in earthen mounds, the formation of religious ceremonial centers, and the earliest adoption of corn. Providing the most current research on indigenous societies in the Hocking Valley, The Emergence of the Moundbuilders is distinguished by its broad, comparative overview of tribal life.
