Mid-October 1999, Jaclyn Ramsey escapes from a southern Arizona jail of Dos Caballos. Town Marshal John Buckner orders his inept deputy Gilbert Chávez hunt for her with instruction to return her to jail alive so no one will know of her escape. Jaclyn returns to the northern Arizona town of Upland to exact retribution on her beautiful double-crossing partner Sherri Denny, but only after she gets her hands on her share of their ill-gotten drug money. Jaclyn has also sworn vengeance by way of death against the Chief of Police of Upland. College student Rosie River, an excellent natural pool player, is also sent to Upland to locate Jaclyn and Sherri in case Chávez fails. Mayhem pursues as Upland police officers Nina Miller and Pike Tso try to solve a murder while the town is upended by a documentary of the pool playing legend JC Forkner.

Franz Brentano is recognised as one of the most important philosophers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This work, first published in English in 1988, besides being an important contribution to metaphysics in its own right, has considerable historical importance through its influence on Husserl’s views on internal time consciousness. The work is preceded by a long introduction by Stephan Körner in collaboration with Brentano’s literary executor.

Gathering together some of the most influential theologians of the great awakening and the middle ages, this work takes a look at the theology behind the Trinity. These authors are thorough in their thinking on this topic and try to explain what exactly the Trinity is and what it means to worship a God that is one being in three different persons. Many Christians have struggles with this topic and how to arrange it within their thinking and their own worship and these works are an important step in figuring out one of the most prevalent and important mysteries in the Christian faith.

Thomists have have traditionally presented philosophy and theology in St. Thomas Aquinas’ own native scholastic methodology. This methodology allowed philosophical and theological disciplines to advance objectively and in a scientific manner for centuries—understanding ‘science' in the Aristotelian sense. Hugon’s multi-volume work uses this methodology, offering formal arguments with clearly identifiable premises and conclusions and formal objections with clearly identifiable distinctions, etc., covering practically all the parts of speculative philosophy. The manual is a true work of synthesis of seven centuries of Thomistic tradition. This translation thus puts into print and at the reach of English speakers an introduction to Thomistic philosophy that follows the scholastic scientific methodology faithfully, thus providing them with a solid means of learning the all-but-forgotten art of scholastic disputation. This Cosmology volume covers the first part of natural philosophy, considering the physical world from the point of view of its efficient, material, formal, and final causes.
