For many centuries, the physics of possible time travel have intrigued many great earthly scholars. In years gone by, both Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein investigated this intriguing subject with interesting theories that still have an open ended view. Even today and for the foreseeable future, new theories will be put forward by leading physicists, who will try to explain the complex physics and beginning of time. James Moclair the author of T.I.M.E has studied many of these theories and using his immense SIFI imagination, James has expanded on them. T.I.M.E is a science fiction, action and fantasy novel that explores the need for time travel and its many planetary and universal implications.

However, that's when the temporal problems begin! And these problems are quantified with spacial time dilation and the vastness of our universe! The only logical solution left is to investigate the realms of temporal physics and then, if possible, time travel! While some species in our universe see time travel for the repatriation of the humans as a highly noble quest, others see it as a way to further their own sinister goals! For anyone interested in science fiction and the intricacies of time. T.I.M.E is a book that will truly invoke your imagination and take you on a fantastic voyage through the chronicles of a time yet to come.

Bridging the Great Divide: Musings of a Post-Liberal, Post-Conservative Evangelical Catholic represents a pivotal moment in the life of the Catholic community. As the Church seeks to maintain its unique witness, nurture the faithful, and evangelize, a new generation of American Catholics has emerged. No longer the "next generation," these new leaders came of age after the Second Vatican Council and, like many others, no longer find compelling the battles between the liberals and conservatives throughout the post-conciliar period. Today's faithful are searching for an expression of Catholic Christianity that is vibrant, colorful, provocative, counter-cultural, deeply rooted in the tradition, and full of the promise of the Good News. In this timely and prophetic book, Father Robert Barron—himself a member of the younger generation—has minted a new vernacular and blazed a new way that goes bridges the great divide and gives voice to the concerns of post-liberal, post-conservative, evangelical believers.

Can one woman stop the charismatic leader of a nationalist movement destroying her beloved country?

A Companion to Jan Hus includes eleven substantial essays covering the central aspects of the life, thought and commemoration of Jan Hus († 1415), Czech theologian, reformer and martyr. Besides older experienced specialists in the Hussite studies, also younger researchers who enter the scientific discourse with new approaches participated in the volume. Experts and students alike will profit from this guide to Jan Hus, who was well known as follower of John Wyclif and forerunner of Martin Luther. Burning of Jan Hus at the stake at the Council of Constance gave rise in Bohemia to religious and social revolt that ushered the European reformations of the 16th century.

This volume contains the first critical edition of Matthew of Orléans' Sophistaria, dating from the first half of the thirteenth century. The genre is closely related to the Syncategoreumata-treatises and Sophisma-collections, which all deal with logico-semantic problems, but each in a different way. The Sophistaria-treatise takes commonly used logical, semantic and grammatical distinctions as its starting point and subsequently moves to the discussion of puzzling sophisma-sentences these distinctions are exemplified in. The volume contains a broad introduction, as well as extensive indexes of names, sources (loci), subjects, and sophisma-sentences.
