What do these things have in common? A remorseful demonic fluffy bunny; a beautiful genie chained to a toilet; and a death-marked craps champion? These characters are just some of those who inhabit the fable/freak show universe of Initial Incidents. With an eclectic mix of poetry and short fiction, the odder side of life is exposed--from the true meaning of feline-human relationships to the importance of honoring the lowly termite. Does any tale ever truly end, or is each merely an initial incident to a larger story?

"In this first comprehensive appreciation in many decades of the Muslim expulsion from Spain, Blood and Faith meticulously recaptures the fateful self-mutilation of a society that might have become Europe’s first multicultural nation and offers a grim lesson about religious and racial repression in our contemporary age of contested faiths." --David Levering Lewis, author of God’s Crucible: Islam and the Making of Europe, 570-1215 Seldom does a centuries-old story have such remarkable contemporary resonance. In April 1609, King Philip III of Spain signed an edict denouncing the Mu

An account of one couple’s life on a remote island beyond the Polar Front, a tale to rival the exploits of the great nineteenth-century explorers. After twenty-five years of cruising the world’s oceans, renowned blue-water sailors Pauline and Tim Carr found themselves being drawn to the lonely places of the higher latitudes to experience earth’s last, scarcely touched regions. Antarctic Oasis records the culmination of those exploits. True adventurers, the Carrs have lived year-round on South Georgia for five years--its only civilian inhabitants--experiencing a way of life th

In the Druid tradition, many plants, herbs, flowers, and mushrooms are considered sacred and to have special meanings, and are prominent features of mythology and legend. The Druid Plant Oracle presents these stories and the virtues and qualities that have been traditionally ascribed to these plants, through an oracle that is able to offer unique guidance and inspiration. The thirty-six cards each show a plant within its natural habitat and offers details within this ’miniature landscape’ that are also described in the text. The book gives detailed descriptions of the meaning of e

Johann Baptist Metz, founder of political theology in Europe, is one of the most significant Roman Catholic theologians working since the Second Vatican Council. In A Passion for God, J. Matthew Ashley edits and translates the most important of Metz’s recent essays previously unavailable in English. This compelling and diverse collection reflects on such issues as the crucial place of memory in Christian faith and in society as a whole, the role of religious in the Church, the meaning of the mystical virtue of poverty of spirit and the relationship between Christianity and politics in mo
