Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In this macabre and intricate fantasy, a quarantined city is under a threat that its citizens cannot escape from since there is no where to run and nowhere to hide. ?Dizzying and bright, a masterful novel that sits somewhere in the space between Frances Hardinge and Philip Pullman.??Tor?Epic . . . Recommended for fans of Sabaa Tahir?s An Ember in the Ashes and Leigh Bardugo?s Six of Crows.??School Library JournalIn a walled city of mile-high iron guild towers, many things are common knowledge: No book in any of the city?s libraries reveals its place on a calendar or a map. No living beasts can be found within the city?s walls. And no good comes to the guilder or foundling who strays too far from their labors. Even on the tower rooftops, where Errol Thebes and the rest of the city?s teenagers pass a few short years under an open sky, no one truly believes anything uncommon is possible within the city walls. But one guildmaster has broken tradition to protect her child, and now the whole city faces an uncommon threat: a pair of black iron spikes that have the power of both sword and needle on the rib cages of men has gone missing, but the deadly mayhem they cause rises everywhere. If the spikes are not found and contained, no wall will be high enough to protect the city?or the world beyond it. And Errol Thebes? He?s not dead and he?s certainly not safe.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Everyone has a worldview. How did we get it? How is it formed? Is it possible by persuasion and logic to change one's worldview? In Rethinking Worldview, writer and worldview teacher J. Mark Bertrand has a threefold aim. First, he seeks to capture a more complex, nuanced appreciation of what worldviews really are. Then he situates worldviews in the larger context of a lived faith. Finally, he explores the organic connections between worldview and wisdom and how they are expressed in witness.

Thoughtful readers interested in theology, philosophy, and culture will be motivated to rethink their own perspectives on the nature of reality, as well as to rethink the concept of worldviews itself.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "Devastating in its use of cold logic," (The Independent), the classic essay collection that expresses the freethinker's views to religion and challenges set notions in today's society from one of the most influential intellectual figures of the twentieth century. Dedicated as few men have been to the life of reason, Bertrand Russell has always been concerned with the basic questions to which religion also addresses itself--questions about man's place in the universe and the nature of the good life, questions that involve life after death, morality, freedom, education, and sexual ethics. He brings to his treatment of these questions the same courage, scrupulous logic, and lofty wisdom for which his other work as philosopher, writer, and teacher has been famous. These qualities make the essays included in this book perhaps the most graceful and moving presentation of the freethinker's position since the days of Hume and Voltaire. "I am as firmly convinced that religions do harm as I am that they are untrue," Russell declares in his Preface, and his reasoned opposition to any system or dogma which he feels may shackle man's mind runs through all the essays in this book, whether they were written as early as 1899 or as late as 1954. The book has been edited, with Lord Russell's full approval and cooperation, by Professor Paul Edwards of the Philosophy Department of New York University. In an Appendix, Professor Edwards contributes a full account of the highly controversial "Bertrand Russell Case" of 1940, in which Russell was judicially declared "unfit" to teach philosophy at the College of the City of New York. Whether the reader shares or rejects Bertrand Russell's views, he will find this book an invigorating challenge to set notions, a masterly statement of a philosophical position, and a pure joy to read. …
