Book Description
Who is the strange woman, and what is it about her that both attracts and worries James? Suddenly in over his head, James is horrified to discover the woman seems to be, quite literally, living in the past! He goes along with her apparent madness until he realises that a spate of other, seemingly impossible, happenings are now occurring around the world, practically each minute. Swept up in her deeds, from the tragic to the heroic, James has to battle the world media and the British security services. Meanwhile, a Cambridge physics professor goes public with his bold pronouncement of what we can do to stop the bizarre events from happening and, in the process, communicating wisdom and advice that will forever change the way we look at ourselves, at others, and at the very universe of which we are part. Science has finally proven things that were previously considered beyond its remit. Weaving strands of real life quantum physics findings with spirituality forms the elaborate set-piece for this warm-spirited, fast-moving mystery, epic in scope and profound in spiritual significance.

The Oxford Handbook of Mary
Author: Chris Maunder
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192511157
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 709
Book Description
The Oxford Handbook of Mary offers an interdisciplinary guide to Marian Studies, including chapters on textual, literary, and media analysis; theology; Church history; art history; studies on devotion in a variety of forms; cultural history; folk tradition; gender analysis; apparitions and apocalypticism. Featuring contributions from a distinguished group of international scholars, the Handbook looks at both Eastern and Western perspectives and attempts to correct imbalance in previous books on Mary towards the West. The volume also considers Mary in Islam and pilgrimages shared by Christian, Muslim, and Jewish adherents. While Mary can be a source of theological disagreement, this authoritative collection shows Mary's rich potential for inter-faith and inter-denominational dialogue and shared experience. It covers a diverse number of topics that show how Mary and Mariology are articulated within ecclesiastical contexts but also on their margins in popular devotion. Newly-commissioned essays describe some of the central ideas of Christian Marian thought, while also challenging popularly-held notions. This invaluable reference for students and scholars illustrates the current state of play in Marian Studies as it is done across the world.

A Counter-History of Crime Fiction
Author: Maurizio Ascari
Publisher: Palgrave MacMillan
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Nominated for the Mystery Writers of America ‘Edgar Awards’! A Counter-History of Crime Fiction takes a new look at the evolution of crime fiction, drawing on material from the Middle Ages up to the early Twentieth century, when the genre was theoretically defined as detective fiction. Considering 'criminography' as a system of inter-related, even incestuous, sub-genres, Maurizio Ascari explores the connections between modes of literature such as revenge tragedies and providential fictions, the gothic and the ghost story, urban mysteries and anarchist fiction, while taking into account the influence of pseudo-sciences such as mesmerism and criminal anthropology.
