Vic: Never Give Up, is the 3rd book in the epic saga series The Incredible Adventures of Vic Challenger
Vic and her friend Lin Li plan a two or three-night camp out at the Grand Canyon before they head for Britain. They didn't plan on the Dine' who want to hang them, the madman, the mysterious cavern, and the slavers (now more commonly called 'human traffickers'). 48 hours before their ship is to leave New York, they find themselves in San Francisco. Historical note: They could not hop a plane and zip over. It was "impossible" for them to make it. However, never underestimate the ingenuity of a farm girl with 2 degrees and an indwelling cave girl persona.
En-route they meet a survivor of the Titanic and eventually make it to the Scottish highlands where they expect a more restful trip than what they experienced in Arizona. They do learn to play peever and shinty and to love Squash. However, they didn't plan on the descendants of Christie Cleek or and the herd of beasts which the Picts were petroglyping about .a millennia ago. And Vic realizes even a heroess can have tragedy in her personal life. One lesson learned: don't wait until it is too late.
The series is set in the 1920s and considerable research adds to the "realism". Vic's travels are woven into the history of the time, so you may be asking yourself "Is this real?"
"The Incredible Adventures of Vic Challenger" series is inspired by writers like Edgar Rice Burroughs, H. Rider Haggard, Jules Verne, Arthur Conan Doyle, and H. G. Wells; and by characters like Nancy Drew, Lara Croft, Alan Quatermain, Doc Savage and his cousin Patricia Savage, and Dick Benson and his assistant Nellie Gray. The writing style has been compared to Burroughs and is also reminiscent of early action-driven horror novels by Graham Masterton,
Unless you are already a fanatical fan of new pulp adventure or of original pulp adventure from the early 20th Century, you are going to be amazed. New pulp adventure is unlike anything else you have read lately. Vic Challenger novels are adrenaline-pumping fun and her adventures are unpredictable.

They can handle it. It's what they do. Readers love to hear about visits to rugged locales. But do they really know what to expect? Over 50,000 miles of savage waterways course through the brutal jungles of the Amazon Who knows what secrets might lie within an uncharted area as vast as all of Europe? Of course, Vic will also have her senses attuned for signs of Nu, her soul mate from 100,000 years ago.
Lethal encounters begin before the trip begins Plus, Vic finds her friend Emma has a serious personal problem, two in fact. Vic can't help with one but the other leads to some un-ladylike conduct in the streets of Beatrice. She and Lin both decide that fighting bad guys and monsters is easy compared to social and personal problems.
When Vic and Lin Li finally get to the Amazon, Vic has a chance to taste some great local food including rock grilled pirarucu, roasted favolus, and anona fruit. The trip has a good start. Their greatest worry is whether they may run into headhunters. Turns out there is more to worry about.
Vic is delighted to learn that her favorite book of all time was not strictly fiction. It sets Vic and Lin on a search into terra incognita, which should be labeled terror incognita They discover people who need help and Vic does not hesitate. Enroute they deal with giant snakes, caimans, piranha, a greedy guide, but those are unworthy of mention compared to what awaits them in Terror Incognita
Among the lessons learned, it is better to be prepared and not need to be than to be unprepared and dead; anyone can make a mistake and one mistake does not a bad person make; and of course, keep your weapon with you

Gill concentrates on the interrelationships between speech, accomplishing tasks, and human embodiment. Ludwig Wittgenstein, J. L. Austin, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Michael Polanyi have all highlighted these relationships. This book examines the, as yet, unexplored connections between these authors’ philosophies of language. It focuses on the relationships between their respective key ideas: Wittgenstein’s notion of “language game,” Austin’s concept of “performative utterances,” Merleau-Ponty’s idea of “slackening the threads,” and Polanyi's understanding of “tacit knowing,” noting the similarities and differences between and amongst them.

Описание: This book explores the philosophical/religious thought of Soren Kierkegaard, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Nikos Kazantzakis in relation to the concept of transcendence. Each of these thinkers has made a strong impact on Western religious and philosophical thought, but each from a nearly completely different angle as well as from a different national background. This comparative study therefore crosses both national and perspectival boundaries. Each of the three thinkers struggled with the notion of transcendence but in uniquely distinct fashion. The conclusion offers yet a third model, the author's, for understanding transcendence focusing on the concept of "mediation".
