Set in Vichy France in 1945, "Irlandis" is a virile turbulent romance in which Gaelic serendipity and Gallic sophistication clash with the brutal realities of Nazi occupation. In human affairs it may often be true that organized conscious evil will recognize and take full advantage of human frailty. Yet by its very nature, evil remains ignorant of the human mysterious of love and conscience. The Devil will often have his way, but he is not inf...

The interpretation of Genesis 1:1-2 has taxed the minds of exegetes for many years. The controversy has centred upon whether or not there is a chronological gap of unspecified duration within the compass of what, at first glance, seems to be continuous narrative.

In this memoir and manifesto, Tom Bachmann fell in love as a child with the landscape of salt marsh, bay, and ocean on eastern Long Island. He was running the outboard alone when he was seven, and fishing soon after. For him, life on the sea was a series of adventures, and he describes childhood exploration along the coast, bluefish fishing in the "Race", striped bass fishing at night, and then the thrills and disappointments of offshore fishi...

Der erste Band versammelt annähernd 200 Briefe aus den ersten sechs Jahren nach der Gründung des Geheimbunds. Er lässt erkennen, von welchen internen Konflikten das stürmische Wachstum der Organisation in dieser Phase begleitet war. Besonders aufschlussreich sind die zahlreichen erstmals gedruckten Schreiben des Freiherrn Adolph von Knigge an den »Ordensgeneral« Adam Weishaupt.

It may give us curiosity to explore it further. It may cause frustration or regret that we wish to mend. It may give us pleasure and peacefulness tha...

Contends that race is a biologically real phenomenon with important consequences, contrary to widespread and politically correct views that race doesn't matter - or doesn't even exist

While claiming that liberalism is the dominant political theory and practice of modernity, this book provides two alternative post-modern theoretical approaches to the political. Concentrating on Nietzsche's and Foucault's work it offers a novel interpretation of their genealogical projects. It argues that genealogy can be applied to analyze different forms of cultural kitsch vis-à-vis the dominant political institutions of consumer capitalism...

In 1970, one out of ten American women developed breast cancer. Now it is one out of eight - and soon it will be one out of seven. It is a disease women dread. Yet physicians, who tell patients how to avoid heart attacks, have nothing to say about the prevention of breast cancer. By the time a cancer cell in the breast grows into a diagnosable breast cancer, usually 15 to 20 years have elapsed. During this long journey, the cancer is inhibited...

I devoted years to the study of the teachings of one of the world's great humanitarians, the medical missionary, theologian, philosopher, organist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Dr. Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965). I thought about his life and pondered over his statements, such as: "When you portray me it should be not as the doctor who ministered to the sick. It is my philosophy of 'Reverence for Life' that I consider my primary contribution to ...
