Book Description
Turning back to Dianna, Skylar started to speak. 'My life is with them. It would be easy to stay here, but I can't. I have to go back.' 'I knew that would be your answer. I'm sorry for what you must endure. Your heart and mind are that of a mature person, someone who cares for others before herself.' In The Creator and the Promise, new author Joseph Lunini draws readers into a world of mystery and adventure in which three common people are called to a task of tremendous importance. Josaphat and Susanna are a happy couple. They love their children and their grandchild. But when they are summoned by a mysterious being called the Keeper, they must work together to overcome the forces of evil. Driven by a belief in something greater than themselves, they join an ages-old fight, placing themselves and those they love in harm's way. They soon discover that their ten-year-old granddaughter, Skylar, possesses amazing powers. Skylar joins her grandparents and fights alongside them. But Skylar is no superhero. She is not invincible, and she endures pain and suffering as the war rages on. A powerful blend of spirituality and science fiction, The Creator and the Promise delivers vivid imagery, fast-paced action, and a message of hope and unity. As Skylar, Josaphat, and Susanna battle the forces of evil in our world and other worlds, they face the ultimate test of their faith, loyalty, and courage. When faced with the greatest evils in the universe, will they have the strength to sacrifice what they hold most dear and save us all? Or will the forces of evil consume them and drive our world into darkness?

Cartography
Author: Matthew H. Edney
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022660568X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Over the past four decades, the volumes published in the landmark History of Cartography series have both chronicled and encouraged scholarship about maps and mapping practices across time and space. As the current director of the project that has produced these volumes, Matthew H. Edney has a unique vantage point for understanding what “cartography” has come to mean and include. In this book Edney disavows the term cartography, rejecting the notion that maps represent an undifferentiated category of objects for study. Rather than treating maps as a single, unified group, he argues, scholars need to take a processual approach that examines specific types of maps—sea charts versus thematic maps, for example—in the context of the unique circumstances of their production, circulation, and consumption. To illuminate this bold argument, Edney chronicles precisely how the ideal of cartography that has developed in the West since 1800 has gone astray. By exposing the flaws in this ideal, his book challenges everyone who studies maps and mapping practices to reexamine their approach to the topic. The study of cartography will never be the same.

The Time of Janus
Author: Patrick David Daley
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1532073895
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
Alexander IX has just become pope. He presides over a Vatican that is a viper’s nest of intrigue, betrayal, and assassinations instigated by the ruthless Dante Sabatini, head of the Praetorian Order. In an orchestrated campaign to take control of the Roman Catholic Church and its wealth, Sabatini has engineered a decades-long campaign of blackmail and coercion that has ensnared members of the College of Cardinals, the church’s governing council. But there is more to Sabatini’s plan than just a takeover of the church. He envisions a world where, through religion, the order becomes an international power able to influence governments and global events. As Alexander struggles to retain his hold on the papacy, the nation island of Janus is confronted with an ultimatum by the Spirit, the omniscient force that oversees the cosmos. Sean Brennan, the island’s leader, must reconcile Janus’s centuries-old anonymity with the Spirit’s demand for the islanders to become a universal force for understanding and reconciliation. It is the only way to confront the planet’s impending turmoil represented by Sabatini’s lust for control. The confrontation between the order and Janus is inevitable, as Sabatini and Brennan have vastly different visions for the planet’s future. It is a battle that leaves no room for compromise, and there can only be one victor. How to reconcile the islanders’ commitment to peaceful co-existence with the necessity of confronting the merciless Sabatini is a question that can only be answered by the Spirit. Unwilling to become directly involved in what it believes is the planet’s imminent Armageddon, the Spirit is an interested observer but refuses to assist the islanders in this epic struggle. However, as the deadly consequences begin to take hold, it may have no choice but to intervene.

Contexts of Being
Author: Robert D. Stolorow
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317771478
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
In this volume, the authors complete the circle begun with Faces in a Cloud (1979) and continued with Structures of Subjectivity (1984) and Psychoanalytic Treatment: An Intersubjective Approach (1987- with Brandchaft). They now extend intersubjectivity theory to a rethinking of the foundational pillars of psychoanalytic theory since they have already demonstrated the degree to which psychological theory is influenced by the subjective world of the psychological theorist, explored the various "structures of subjectivity" that organize the subjective world, and applied the intersubjective perspective to a broad array of clinical issues. Beginning with an in-depth critique of the concept of the isolated individual mind, Stolorow and Atwood argue that this myth has long obstructed recognition of the intersubjective foundations of psychological life. The authors then proceed to a series of chapters that reframe, from the standpoint of intersubjectivity theory, basic assumptions of the psychoanalytic theory of mental life. Concluding chapters on "varieties of therapeutic alliance" and "varieties of therapeutic impasse" further exemplify the ability of intersubjectivity theory to reorient the psychoanalytic therapist, thus providing fresh strategies for understanding and addressing the most challenging clinical contingencies. Contexts of Being is the conceptual culmination of Stolorow and Atwood's earlier studies, giving them a forum to explain why the perspective of intersubjectivity cannot be reduced to a clinical sensibility that can be grafted onto existing psychoanalytic theory. Rather, the authors argue, the intersubjective perspective has methodological and epistemological implications that mandate a radical revision of all aspects of psychoanalytic thought. Not only a cogent elaboration of these implications, the volume is also an important first step in effecting the sweeping revision that follows from them.
