Yet lust and desire are all he has given of himself until the day a beautiful, green eyed vixen walked into his life and changed everything. Skye Avalon, daughter of a high-ranking Irish member of the IRA, can arouse passion in a man with just one look. But as of yet, she is as untouched as newly fallen snow. When she is captivated by Miko at a charity ball, her friend, Tess, discloses his secret profession and makes Skye swear not to tell anyone. But Skye is not the only one who was bewitched that day. As they become embroiled in a torrid romance, Miko and Skye must attempt to survive seemingly insurmountable odds as their passionate journey leads them from the beautiful, languid Greek Islands to the turbulent unrest in Ireland where mercenaries clash in a battle with the IRA, a confrontation fueled by mens lust for power and the need to settle an old score.

Solidarity Beyond Borders is a collection on international ethics by a multidisciplinary team of scholars from four continents. The volume explores ethical and political dimensions of transnational solidarity in the emerging multipolar world. Analyzing global challenges of the world plagued by poverty, diseases, injustice, inequality and environmental degradation, the contributors - rooted in diverse cultures and ethical traditions - voice their support for 'solidarity beyond borders'. Bringing to light both universally shared ethical insights as well as the irreducible diversity of ethical perceptions of particular problems helps the reader to appreciate the chances and the challenges that the global community - more interconnected and yet more ideologically fragmented than ever before - faces in the coming decades. Solidarity Beyond Borders exemplifies an innovative approach to the key issues of global ethics which takes into account the processes of economic globalization, leading to an ever deeper interdependence of peoples and states, as well as the increasing cultural and ideological fragmentation which characterize the emerging multipolar world order.
In The Legend of the Anti-Christ, Stephen Vicchio offers a concise and historical approach to the history of the idea of the Anti-Christ, including precursors to the idea, the development of the idea in the New Testament, as well as the understandings of the legend of the Anti-Christ in the history of Christianity. Vicchio also raises the question of why there is so much emphasis in the modern world about the idea.
The Saint begins this extraordinary series which brings together "the writings of Saint Francis and those of the early Franciscan witnesses" and it will "be of estimable value to scholars, students, and lovers of Il Poverello as well...a scholarly achievement done in the service of history, theology and spirituality." (Lawrence Cunningham)
In the Château: A Frances Yates Mystery By: Marjorie G. Jones “Quirky, erudite and witty, In the Chateau follows the dastardly – and sometimes sexy – doings of professional plagiarists in the shadow of a fascinating feminist conference examining women’s spirituality in centuries gone by. Marjorie Jones here offers a stimulating ode to Quebec City and French Canada and provides an atmospheric narrative as rich and delicious as a serving of Québec’s famous poutine.” - Stephen O’Shea, author The Perfect Heresy “London, Mexico City, Philadelphia, and now in Québec City – with In the Chateau we renew our acquaintance with the indomitable Dame Frances Yates and her cadre of fellow amateur detectives. And again we encounter a love of books, historical and feminist religious insights, architectural wonders, mouth-watering food, and last but not least: murder most foul. This book, as are the others in the series, is a delight for armchair travelers with a penchant for the darker side of academia. PS: Graduate students beware of the perils of plagiarism.” - Maria Enrico, BMCC / City University of New York When renowned British historian Dame Frances Yates is invited to deliver a talk regarding the Hermetic Tradition at a conference of women religious of the Americas at the historic Ursuline Convent in Québec, she uncovers a ring of plagiarists thriving in the local institutions of higher learning. Once again, during her visit, Dame Frances savors culinary delights and admires historic sites, illustrating the complex history of Canada.
General readers will enjoy learning about Saint Francis in this book and how hagiography shaped the public stories of medieval saints.
This book examines the misuse of history in New Atheism and militant anti-religion. It looks at how episodes such as the Witch-hunt, the Inquisition, and the Holocaust are mythologized to present religion as inescapably prone to violence and discrimination, whilst the darker side of atheist history, such as its involvement in Stalinism, is denied. At the same time, another constructed history—that of a perpetual and one-sided conflict between religion and science/rationalism—is commonly used by militant atheists to suggest the innate superiority of the non-religious mind. In a number of detailed case studies, the book traces how these myths have long been overturned by historians, and argues that the New Atheism’s cavalier use of history is indicative of a troubling approach to the humanities in general. Nathan Johnstone engages directly with the God debate at an academic level and contributes to the emerging study of non-religion as a culture and an identity.
In 1846, Thomas Larkin, American council general to the Mexican government in California, purchased a Mexican land grant, Las Mariposas, for Col. John C. Fremont. The grant consisted of 10 square leagues of grazing land located near the Merced River and west of the Sierra. In 1848, when California became the possession of the United States, the treaty called for the recognition of preexisting grants. Gold was discovered in the foothills of the Sierra that same year. Fremont floated his questionable Mexican grant into the gold discovery region. With the formation of the State of California in 1850, one of the original counties was named Mariposa, Spanish for "butterflies." Located within the county was the Fremont grant and much of the yet undiscovered Yosemite region of the Sierra. Encounters with Native Americans near the mining camps lead to the formation of the Mariposa Battalion, and a search for the natives led to the American discovery of Yosemite Valley. Thus, it was custodians and photographers such as Charles Leander Weed, Carlton E Watkins, J.J. Riley, George Fiske, Ansel Adams, and many others that interpreted and introduced Yosemite to the world.
