Follow Me Into the Dark
Author: Felicia C. Sullivan
File Type: epub
What happens when children are denied love and then left to their own devices? Follow Me into the Dark traces the unraveling of a family marred by perverse intergenerational abuse. Kate is a young baker whose mother is dying of cancer. Gillian is an oversexed, hyper-intellectual who looks like Kate and is sleeping with Kates stepfather. Jonah is Gillians odd but devoted stepbrother, who increasingly matches the description of the Doll Collector, a menacing serial killer. With Kate flailing in her mourning and beating back unwelcome memories, snippets of her family legacy are revealed just as the Doll Collectors body count grows. A complex, dark expression of the deprived heart and the desperate lengths children will go to in order to create family. **Review A searing portrayal of a womans complicated grief. . . . An original, spellbinding, and horrifying read. Kirkus (starred review) Within the first words youll find yourself pulled into something rich, luminous, and unsparing. Im reminded of contemporaries like Merritt Tierce and Ottessa Moshfegh, but Felicia Sullivan achieves both an emotional intensity and pacing that is simultaneously seductive and blistering. Follow Me into the Dark is both an invitation and a dare. Accept both. Youll be glad you did. Joe McGinniss Jr., author of *Carousel Court* A haunting and wholly engrossing story of uncommon moral complexity, with prose bright and swift as lightning. Laura van den Berg, author of *Find Me* Precise and powerful, Felicia Sullivans gorgeous novel takes you on a journey through the darkest sides of human nature, with arresting images and unforgettable characters that dont let go. Liza Monroy, author of *Seeing As Your Shoes Are Soon To Be On Fire* A gripping exploration of pain, anger and revenge. It will stay with you long past the last page.

ATHAN
48622
Author: Joscelyn Godwin
File Type: pdf
A major study of both the written and pictorial work of a neglected genius whose breadth of interest made him the last Renaissance man Fully examines every area of Kirchers wide field of study and accomplishments Magnificently illustrated with stunning engravings from Kirchers work Jesuit, linguist, archaeologist, and exceptional scholar, Athanasius Kircher (1602-1680) was the last true Renaissance man. To Kircher the entire world was a glorious manifestation of God. His exploration was both a scientific quest and a religious experience. Credited with being the first Egyptologist, his works on Egyptology, music, optics, magnetism, geology, and comparative religion were the definitive texts of their time--and yet they represent only a part of his vast range of knowledge. A Christian Hermeticist in the style of Marsilio Ficino and Pico della Mirandola, his work also examined alchemy, the Kabbalah, and the Egyptian mystery tradition exemplified by Hermes Trismegistus. The Hermetic cast of Kirchers thought, which was foreign to the concerns of those propelling the Age of Reason, coupled with the breadth of his interests, caused many of his contributions to be widely overlooked--an oversight now masterfully rectified by Joscelyn Godwin. It has been said that Kircher could think only in images. The stunning engravings that are a distinguishing feature of his work are included here so we may fully appreciate and see for ourselves the life work, philosophy, and achievements of the last man who knew everything. **

HABER
76252
Author: Mark Murphy
File Type: pdf
The sociologist and philosopher Jurgen Habermas has had a wide-ranging and significant impact on understandings of social change and social conflict. However, there has been no concerted and focused attempt to introduce his ideas to the field of education broadly. This book rectifies this omission and delivers a definitive contribution to the understanding of Habermass oeuvre as it applies to the field. The authors examine the contribution Habermass theory has and can make to pedagogy, learning and classroom interaction the relation between education, civil society and the state forms of democracy, reason and critical thinking and performativity, audit cultures and accountability. Additionally, the book answers a range of more specific questions, including what are the implications for pedagogy of a shift from a philosophy of consciousness to a philosophy of language? What contribution can Habermass re-shaping of speech act theory and communicative rationality make to theories of classroom interaction? and how can his theories of reason and colonization be used to explore questions of governance and accountability in education? **

Author: Jennifer Pitts
File Type: pdf
It is commonly believed that international law originated in relations among European states that respected one another as free and equal. In fact, as Jennifer Pitts shows, international law was forged at least as much through Europeans domineering relations with non-European states and empires, leaving a legacy still visible in the unequal structures of todays international order.Pitts focuses on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the great age of imperial expansion, as European intellectuals and administrators worked to establish and justify laws to govern emerging relationships with non-Europeans. Relying on military and commercial dominance, European powers dictated their own terms on the basis of their own norms and interests. Despite claims that the law of nations was a universal system rooted in the values of equality and reciprocity, the laws that came to govern the world were parochial and deeply entangled in imperialism. Legal authorities, including Emer de Vattel, John Westlake, and Henry Wheaton, were key figures in these developments. But ordinary diplomats, colonial administrators, and journalists played their part too, as did some of the greatest political thinkers of the time, among them Montesquieu and John Stuart Mill.Against this growing consensus, however, dissident voices as prominent as Edmund Burke insisted that European states had extensive legal obligations abroad that ought not to be ignored. These critics, Pitts shows, provide valuable resources for scrutiny of the political, economic, and legal inequalities that continue to afflict global affairs. **
