Описание: Christian Rex van Minnen's art is challenging, intriguing, and disturbing. His provocative paintings depict the dynamic attraction and repulsion of mankind, often leaving the viewer deep in contemplative euphoria. Since his first solo exhibition in 2009, his work has been shown extensively around the world, garnering a cult following of admirers who are deeply moved by his honest paintings, that often reflect the artist's own thoughts about the fragile male ego and what it means to identify as a white American man.
Van Minnen's first foray into showcasing his delightfully complex work, Massa Confusa: The Art of Christian Rex van Minnen is a deluxe art book filled with beautiful paintings that raise questions around our identity while also bringing out the grotesque from within all of us.

Описание: A NEW NOVEL IN JOHN RINGO'S BESTSELLING BLACK TIDE RISING SERIES. Sequel to The Valley of Shadows. Tom Smith used to be somebody. Now he's just another refugee, fleeing the smoking ruins of civilization. Well, maybe not just another refugee. Late of the Bank of the Americas where he used to be the global managing director for Security, Tom and his fellow survivors watched New York City burn. His plan to the save New York long enough to find a cure for the zombie virus hadn't survived the bloody scrimmage between angry cops, cunning gangsters, and rapacious City officials. Now only millions of infected humans, driven mad by the high infectious tailored rabies virus, inhabited the city. But Tom and some trusted allies were able to stay one step ahead and escaped offshore. Now they're holed up in a safe house in coastal Virginia and it's time to breakout. Between him and his objective, one of the bank's prepared evacuation camps in the Cumberland Valley, are hundreds of miles of clogged roads, burnt-out towns and howling mobs of infected humans who know only hunger. He must corral his motley team, complete with middle-schoolers, to navigate the treacherous landscape. And yet he feels his odds are good. But there's always someone smarter. And they like things just the way they are. Without a fat checkbook and the team of hired spec-ops mercenaries it used to bring, how will Tom Smith fend off entrepreneurial marauders, a brilliant sociopath or two and a kill-count hungry member of the E-4 mafia? And if he pulls it off, no one is sure how they will they re-start civilization. But Tom Smith has the spark of an idea.

Описание: Excerpt from In Memory of William Barton Rogers, L. L. D: Late President of the Society He saw, and appreciated, and sympathized with us in all the difficulties under which we labored; and I believe if we had not had a man as wise, as kind, as faithful, as far-seeing as Professor Rogers was that this institution would never have reached the point of suc cess in which we rejoice today. He, of all men, was fitted by his mental and moral qualities to undertake the pilotage of a new insti tution like this in the stormy waters which it must perforce pass over before it reaches success. I have known Professor Rogers inti mately in personal acquaintance, for he made me his personal friend; I have visited him in his beautiful and happy home; and I can testify to every word that anyone can utter as to his warm-heartedness, and his excellence. In his character he was a man to be loved; in his studies and in his teaching he was a man to be imitated. He could not be satisfied until he had found the truth, and uttered it. He not only had that enthusiasm for science which made him a discoverer, he had that love of imparting it which made him a teacher. Add tothis that he was always in sympathy with the young. His warm heartedness went out to his pupils; and when we combine these quali ties, that admirable gift for scientific investigation which he had by nature, and that untiring pursuit of and love for truth, with his wonderful capacity as an expositor, and with his warm personal sym pathics, it seems to me we have almost the ideal of a scientific teacher, and the elements of an eminently happy and successful life. Mr. President, without further remarks I offer to you these resolutions. Mr. James P. Tolman, president of the Alumni Association of the Institute, then said: Mr. President, In seconding the resolutions which have just been presented, I esteem it a privilege to be per mitted to refer to the relations which the students in the school of this Institute have entertained toward our dear friend. A feeling of warm personal loyalty was inspired in the minds of all who received direct instruction from him. I am a member of the earliest class that identifies itself by the legend, Graduate of the School of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In those early days when we occupied narrow quarters in Summer street the numbers of instructors and' of students were both small enough to permit an intercourse impossible in the later days of large classes and many teachers. If we did not then have the advantages that now accrue from special libraries and finished apparatus; if the courses of instruction were incomplete and uncertain, the students being the subjects for experiment, as well as objects for teaching; if we were so unequal in preparation for our work that the time of many must often be sacrificed to the needs of the few; still I question if our intimate relations with the professors, and the Spirit which grew from direct association with them, did not largely compensate for the shortcomings of our course.

Описание: On July 29, 1968, Pope Paul VI ended years of discussion and study by Catholic theologians and bishops by issuing an encyclical on human sexuality and birth control entitled Humanae Vitae: On Human Life. That document, which declared that each and every marriage act must remain open to the transmission of life, lead to widespread dissent and division within the Church, particularly in the United States. The divide that Humanae Vitae opened up is still with us today. Mark Massa argues that American Catholics did not simply ignore and dissent from the encyclical's teachings on birth control, but that they also began to question the entire system of natural law theology that had undergirded Catholic thought since the days of Aquinas. Natural law is central to Catholic theology, as some of its most important teachings on issues such as birth control, marriage, and abortion rest on natural law arguments. Drawing inspiration from Thomas Kuhn's classic work The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Massa argues that Humanae Vitae caused a paradigm shift in American Catholic thought, one that has had far-reaching repercussions. How can theology-the study of God, whose nature is imagined to be eternal and unchanging- change over time? This is the essential question that The Structure of Theological Revolutions sets out to answer. Massa makes the controversial claim that Roman Catholic teaching on a range of important issues is considerably more provisional and arbitrary than many Catholics think.

For sixteen-year old Abigail Renshaw, the terrifying nightmares are not the worst part. When apparitions start leaking out of the nightmares into her waking life-Well, that's a problem.
But Abby's dealt with hallucinations before, and she's nothing if not resilient. Following clues from the nightmares, she convinces her mother to let her visit Harmony Springs, the small town in Florida where Abby was born, and where her grandmother still lives.
There, Abby finds unexpected help from new friends: a compulsive teenage blogger named Molly Quick, and Molly's older brother Ray-Ray (a guy Abby really starts to like). The not-so-good news? Abby's apparitions might be real after all. And one of them wants to kill her.
