Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Jesus regularly engaged the Law and its interpretation in his interactions with both crowds and other teachers. While many scholars have interpreted his teaching as criticizing legalism, nationalism, or external piety, in this groundbreaking study of Jesus and the Law in the Synoptic Gospels, Paul Sloan suggests an alternative.Putting the Gospels in conversation with other early Jewish sources, Sloan argues that the proper framework for understanding Jesus's legal instruction is his announcement of Israel's covenantal restoration. In this context, the Gospels depict Jesus as the divinely commissioned herald of the restoration and the authoritative interpreter of the Law, criticizing misinterpretation and transgression--not legalism, nationalism, and external rituals. From this perspective, Jesus's disputes with contemporaries constitute intramural debates about the Law's interpretation and proper observance. Sloan also shows how Jesus's action in the temple and his crucifixion are better understood within this restorationist context, and he concludes by examining the congruity between Jesus's teaching of the Law and the use of the Law in Acts and in Paul's Letters.This thorough study contributes to the ongoing discussion of Jesus and the Law in the first-century Jewish context. It will challenge students of the Gospels and readers of the broader New Testament to reconsider some common misunderstandings of the Law and its reception in early Christianity.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Lars Horn's Voice of the Fish, the latest Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize winner, is an interwoven essay collection that explores the trans experience through themes of water, fish, and mythology, set against the backdrop of travels in Russia and a debilitating back injury that left Horn temporarily unable to speak. In Horn's adept hands, the collection takes shape as a unified book: short vignettes about fish, reliquaries, and antiquities serve as interludes between longer essays, knitting together a sinuous, wave-like form that flows across the book. Horn swims through a range of subjects, roving across marine history, theology, questions of the body and gender, sexuality, transmasculinity, and illness. From Horn's upbringing with a mother who used them as a model in photos and art installations--memorably in a photography session in an ice bath with dead squid--to Horn's travels before they were out as trans, these essays are linked by a desire to interrogate liminal physicalities. Horn reexamines the oft-presumed uniformity of bodily experience, breaking down the implied singularity of "the body" as cultural and scientific object. The essays instead privilege ways of seeing and being that resist binaries, ways that falter, fracture, mutate. A sui generis work of nonfiction, Voice of the Fish blends the aquatic, mystical, and physical to reach a place beyond them all.…

"Kepler is a virtuoso at delivering scenes of suspense." --The New York Times Book Review The Swedish National Crime Unit receives a video of a young woman in her home, clearly unaware that she's being watched.

"I read this book cover to cover, and enjoyed every bit of it.  The hedge fund industry is not known for its modesty, yet this book is not only full of fascinating information but is refreshing in this respect as well."Andrei Shleifer, Professor of Economics, Harvard University"Without sensationalising, Lars tells it like it is a no-holds-barred, warts-and-all account of what it's like to try and set and run a hedge fund."Neil Wilson, editor, Eurohedge "A compelling and demystifying chronicle of hedge funds, and of hedge fund managers.  Lars' experience is by no means novel in the industry, but his perspective most certainly is."Drew Dickson, Managing Partner, Dickson Capital Management"In a world where few understand their complexities, Money Mavericks provides a compelling and accurate insight into the secretive workings of a hedge fund."Tets Ishikawa, author of "How I Caused the Credit CrunchSome call them 'grotesque', others as 'absolutely crazy bodies', and still more refer to them as 'hellish': hedge fund managers are stealthy, wealthy and tend to avoid the spotlight. But is this fair?   Money Mavericks: Confessions of a Hedge Fund Manager charts the founding, seemingly interminable rise and eventual closure of a fund which operated in London during the febrile years of 2002 to 2008. Shedding light on the incredible inside workings of hedge funds, it's a tale of a bubble industry in a bubble town during the bubble years.  It tells the story of some very smart people who were trying to do something that was incredibly hard: beat the market. If they failed, the repercussions would be swift and severe. If they succeeded, the rewards would be massive.Having grown from a small and mainly US investment activity to become a global trillion-dollar circus, the hedge fund industry is often unfairly portrayed as a fee-charging gambling den. But forget what you've heard: this is the true story of the life of a hedge fund."I was immersed in the hedge fund industry for years and now I want to  address the myths and misperceptions that surround the hedge funds.  I often feel that my six years of running Holte Capital was one long blur of human drama with triumph and failure following each other in quick and merciless succession.  If you have ever been given the impression that the world of hedge funds is driven by meticulously-planned and well-coordinated dark forces, I hope my story will enlighten you."Lars Kroijer.…
