Book Description
Bursting with imagination and impossible to put down, this “wholly original” (People) and “refreshing” (San Francisco Chronicle) novel from New York Times bestselling author John Connolly is about the pull between good and evil, physics and fantasy—and a quirky boy, who is impossible not to love, and the unlikely cast of characters who give him the strength to stand up to a demonic power. Young Samuel Johnson and his dachshund, Boswell, are trying to show initiative by trick-or-treating a full three days before Halloween, which is how they come to witness strange goings-on at 666 Crowley Road. The Abernathys don't mean any harm by their flirtation with the underworld, but when they unknowingly call forth Satan himself, they create a gap in the universe, a gap through which a pair of enormous gates is visible. The gates to Hell. And there are some pretty terrifying beings just itching to get out... Can one small boy defeat evil? Can he harness the power of science, faith, and love to save the world as we know it?

Mathematics and the Divine
Author: Teun Koetsier
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080457355
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 716
Book Description
Mathematics and the Divine seem to correspond to diametrically opposed tendencies of the human mind. Does the mathematician not seek what is precisely defined, and do the objects intended by the mystic and the theologian not lie beyond definition? Is mathematics not Man's search for a measure, and isn't the Divine that which is immeasurable ?The present book shows that the domains of mathematics and the Divine, which may seem so radically separated, have throughout history and across cultures, proved to be intimately related. Religious activities such as the building of temples, the telling of ritual stories or the drawing of enigmatic figures all display distinct mathematical features. Major philosophical systems dealing with the Absolute and theological speculations focussing on our knowledge of the Ultimate have been based on or inspired by mathematics. A series of chapters by an international team of experts highlighting key figures, schools and trains of thought is presented here. Chinese number mysticism, the views of Pythagoras and Plato and their followers, Nicholas of Cusa's theological geometry, Spinozism and intuitionism as a philosophy of mathematics are treated side by side among many other themes in an attempt at creating a global view on the relation of mathematics and Man's quest for the Absolute in the course of history.·Mathematics and man's quest for the Absolute·A selective history highlighting key figures, schools and trains of thought ·An international team of historians presenting specific new findings as well as general overviews·Confronting and uniting otherwise compartmentalized information

He's one of the best." —Michael Connelly, Author of Chasing the Dime Young boys are being kidnapped in Chicago and turning up dead . . . strangled to death. Shockingly, the same thing is happening in St. Louis, but there the victims are young girls. Is it one killer seeking different victims in different cities, or could it be two killers at work with frighteningly similar methods? That's what Joe Keough and his partner, Harriet Conners, have to find out. Keough has been sent from Washington, D. C., as part of the federal Serial Killer Task Force to stop these murders and find the killer—or killers—before any more children are lost, or bodies found. It's been a while since he's been back in his hometown of St. Louis, but he's going to have to hit the ground running in this deadly race against time and at least one mad strangler. "A fine crime novel." —Booklist "Plenty of tension." —Publishers Weekly "A riveting, increasingly suspenseful plot. Recommended!" —Library Journal "Randisi is a masterful writer." —James W. Hall, Author of Blackwater Sound

A Metaphysics for the Future
Author: Robert Allinson
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040282636
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
This title was first published in 2001. This work is intended to serve not only as an expression of a new idea of a philosophy, but as an "apologia" for philosophy as a legitimate and independent discipline in its own right. It argues that in the 20th century, truth has not been abandoned, but merely modified. The text proposes a return to truth and suggests that it is only after apprehending the truths of consciousness that the philosopher's mirror may become a kaleidoscope through which reality may be contemplated. First order truth lies in the realm of discovery, and discovery takes place only within the moment of subjective re-enactment.
