'The Coincidence Authority' is a novel about love in a random universe, about two lost souls each with a quest to understand the secret patterns of their lives. From the windswept tranquillity of a Manx village to the brutal abduction of child soldiers in Africa, the lives of Thomas Post and Azalea Lewis intertwine as they try to untangle the mystery of Azalea's past. A mystery that began with a seagull and four pieces of bread.
Thirty years ago, on the date in June known as Midsummer’s Day, a young girl is mysteriously orphaned. Now, after a life of bizarre and troubling circumstances, she becomes obsessed with the idea that she too will die on Midsummer’s Day . . . until she meets the one man who may be able to save her Azalea Lewis’s life has been dominated by coincidences—a bizarre, and increasingly troubling, series of chance events so perfectly coordinated that any sane person would conclude that only the hidden hand of providence could explain them. On Midsummer’s Day, 1982, at the age of three, Azalea was found wandering a fairground in England, alone, too young to explain what had happened to her or her parents. After a brief investigation, she was declared a ward of the court, and placed in foster care. The following year, the body of a woman—her mother—was found on a nearby beach, but by then everyone had forgotten about the little girl, and no connection was ever made. The couple who adopted Azalea brought her to Africa, where—on Midsummer’s Day, 1992—they were killed in a Ugandan uprising while trying to protect their children. Azalea is spared on that day, but as she grows into adulthood, she discovers that her life has been shaped by an uncanny set of coincidences—all of them leading back to her birth mother, a single mother on the Isle of Man, and the three men who could have been her father, each of whom has played an improbable but very real role in her fate. Troubled by what she has uncovered-and increasingly convinced that she, too, will meet her fate on Midsummer’s Day—she approaches Thomas Post, a rational-minded academic whose specialty is debunking our belief in coincidence: the belief that certain events are linked, even predestined, by the hands of fate. Even as they fall in love, Thomas tries to help to understand her past as a series of random events-not a divinely predetermined order. Yet as the fateful date draws closer, Thomas begins to fear that he may lose her altogether, and she may throw herself into the very fate she fears. A warm and romantic, yet intellectually fascinating, story of two souls trying to make sense of the universe and our place in it, Just Coincidence is an unforgettable novel by a storyteller of masterful gifts.

The book explores Oakeshott's thought on the key role human imagination plays in relation to the political. It addresses four main themes: imagination, foundational narratives, the question of political societies' identities as well as that of human living-together, to use Hannah Arendt's expression. The book's main objective is to show that Oakeshott may be rightfully understood to be a philosopher of the imagination as well as a foundationalist thinker in the Arendtian narrative constructivist tradition.
Drawing on Jung's concept of synchronicity--and combining insights from psychology, religion, and poetry--"The Power of Coincidence" explores how meaningful coincidences operate in daily lives, in dreams, in relationships, and in creative endeavors.
The Coincidence Collector is a brilliant work of fiction based on actual coincidences, many of which can be easily confirmed. Ladner weaves these interesting coincidences into an enticing web of mind-bending reality, leaving readers to wonder what the heck is really going on in the world they thought they knew. The reader will follow Art Lander in his quest to discover as many real coincidences as he can, if only to find out who he really is, and possibly win the lottery in the process. He will get clues from a few friends, two of which are Ruth and Tina, easily the most beautiful women he's ever met. Real world events, discovery dates of named and numbered asteroids, numbers that actually played in past lottery games, and even enigmatic strings of digits after the decimal in pi (in specific places)appear to indicate that there is more to coincidence than meets the eye. In fact, coincidences often appear downright supernatural, as Art soon discovers, especially when they seem to be the cause of his psychic dreams. The reader of The Coincidence Collector should be prepared to absorb real coincidences that he or she should have ALREADY known, such as the fact that the sinking of the Titanic occurred on the SAME TWO DAYS as the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, but 47 years later. Did you know that already? If not, WHY not? Yes, that's correct, both events spanned a few hours on the same TWO dates in April, 47 years apart. Allow Art Lander and his friends to guide you through the world of confirmable coincidence to its inevitable conclusion: Art isn't who he thought he was in his previous 27 years, and possibly neither are YOU. Have you ever wondered if there is really such a thing as DESTINY? The Coincidence Collector will leave one wondering if one should do one's own "coincidence collecting" just to see for sure, one way or the other! One thing's for sure, you'll at least enjoy the ride. Along the way, you'll also pick up a thing or two about quantum theory, as currently described by the scientific establishment, and Ladner's own insight into the elusive subject. Above all, you'll find that coincidences are perhaps even cooler than you ever thought possible! And if Ladner has it right, they happen a lot more often than one might think.
The human-environment relationship - intimately intertwined and often contentious - is one of the most pressing concerns of the 21st century. Explored through an array of critical approaches, this book brings together case studies from across the globe to present significant cutting-edge research into political ecologies as they relate to multi-form contestations over environments, resources and livelihoods. Covering a range of issues, such as popular discourses of environmental 'collapse', climate change, water resource struggles, displacement, agro-food landscapes and mapping technologies, this edited volume works to provide a broad and critical understanding of the narratives and policies more subtly shaping and being shaped by underlying environmental conflicts. By exploring the power-laden processes by which environmental knowledge is generated, framed, communicated and interpreted, Contentious Geographies works to reveal how environmental conflicts can be (re)considered and thus (re)opened to enhance efforts to negotiate more sustainable environments and livelihoods.
