A Lingering Evil by Jeffrey K Smith Pdf

On January 14, 1968, 51-year-old Buford Lolley was brutally murdered in Enteprise, Alabama. It took nearly nine years to arrest a suspect, who was later acquitted of the murder charges. After more than a half-century, the Lolley murder remains a stone cold case. This book represents an opportunity to reexamine this terrible, unsolved crime and its aftermath under an objective light. Both the murder victim and David Hutto, the man who was almost certainly falsely accused of murder, deserve the opportunity to have their stories told. At the same time, the author remembers a simpler and more innocent time which was ultimately disrupted by evil.

Evil by Andrew P. Chignell Pdf

The code of conduct for a leading tech company famously says "Don't Be Evil." But what exactly is evil? Is it just badness by another name--the shadow side of good? Or is it something more substantive--a malevolent force or power at work in the universe? These are some of the ontological questions that philosophers have grappled with for centuries. But evil also raises perplexing epistemic and psychological questions. Can we really know evil? Does a victim know evil differently than a perpetrator or witness? What motivates evil-doers? Satan's rebellion, Iago's machinations, and Stalin's genocides may be hard to understand in terms of ordinary reasons, intentions, beliefs, and desires. But what about the more "banal" evils performed by technocrats in a collective: how do we make sense of Adolf Eichmann's self-conception as just an effective bureaucrat deserving of a promotion? Evil: A History collects thirteen essays that tell the story of evil in western thought, starting with its origins in ancient Hebrew wisdom literature and classical Greek drama all the way to Darwinism and Holocaust theory. Thirteen interspersed reflections contextualize philosophical developments by looking at evil through the eyes of animals, poets, mystics, witches, librettists, film directors, and even a tech product manager. Evil: A History will enlighten readers about one of the most alluring and difficult topics in philosophy and intellectual life, and will challenge their assumptions about the very nature of evil.

The Oxford Handbook of Music and Medievalism by Stephen C. Meyer,Kirsten Yri Pdf

The Oxford Handbook of Music and Medievalism provides a snapshot of the diverse ways in which medievalism--the retrospective immersion in the images, sounds, narratives, and ideologies of the European Middle Ages--powerfully transforms many of the varied musical traditions of the last two centuries. Thirty-three chapters from an international group of scholars explore topics ranging from the representation of the Middle Ages in nineteenth-century opera to medievalism in contemporary video game music, thereby connecting disparate musical forms across typical musicological boundaries of chronology and geography. While some chapters focus on key medievalist works such as Orff's Carmina Burana or Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films, others explore medievalism in the oeuvre of a single composer (e.g. Richard Wagner or Arvo P�rt) or musical group (e.g. Led Zeppelin). The topics of the individual chapters include both well-known works such as John Boorman's film Excalibur and also less familiar examples such as Eduard Lalo's Le Roi d'Ys. The authors of the chapters approach their material from a wide array of disciplinary perspectives, including historical musicology, popular music studies, music theory, and film studies, examining the intersections of medievalism with nationalism, romanticism, ideology, nature, feminism, or spiritualism. Taken together, the contents of the Handbook develop new critical insights that venture outside traditional methodological constraints and provide a capstone and point of departure for future scholarship on music and medievalism.

Serpent Wind by George Davis Pdf

An Indian rebellion occurred in Sonora during Coronado's expedition in search of El Dorado. Three Spanish conquistadors were reported killed in the uprising, but only two of the bodies were ever accounted for. Did that missing body later cause a strange war between two continents? Serpent Wind is the story of a renegade conquistador, Don Diego de Alcaraz a.k.a. Carazal. After escaping from the North American wilderness in the early 1540's, he conspires with agents of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent to hijack the entire Spanish treasure fleet the Flota Plata of 1553 as it voyaged back to Spain with the gold, silver, and emeralds of the New World. The Flota Plata of 1553 was struck by a violent hurricane just after it transited Havana. Most of the galleons were lost in the tempest, their golden treasures swallowed by the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Three galleons were shipwrecked on the barrier islands of Texas, with approximately three hundred survivors. Only two of these castaways survived to record the grim fate of the lost treasure fleet for history. Serpent Wind is a fictional tale that weaves through three true stories from the earliest history of North American exploration the adventure of Cabeza de Vaca, the expedition of Coronado, and the shipwreck of the Spanish treasure fleet of 1553. It also details the bizarre, brutal war that this shipwreck spawned. Serpent Wind provides insights into forgotten episodes from American history, and also offers intriguing perspectives on issues of cultural conflict. Ultimately, Serpent Wind is a literary tale of primitive justice, from the earliest recorded history of the land we call Texas.

Camus, Philosophe by Matthew Sharpe Pdf

Camus, Philosophe: To Return to our Beginnings is the first book on Camus to read Camus in light of, and critical dialogue with, subsequent French and European philosophy. It argues that, while not an academic philosopher, Albert Camus was a philosophe in more profound senses looking back to classical precedents, and the engaged French lumières of the 18th century. Aiming his essays and literary writings at the wider reading public, Camus’ criticism of the forms of ‘political theology’ enshrined in fascist and Stalinist regimes singles him out markedly from more recent theological and messianic turns in French thought. His defense of classical thought, turning around the notions of natural beauty, a limit, and mesure makes him a singularly relevant figure given today’s continuing debates about climate change, as well as the way forward for the post-Marxian Left.

The Dark Viscount by Deborah Simmons Pdf

Sydony Marchant is suspicious of the maze behind her new home, an old manor house with a sinister history. She’s even more suspicious of darkly handsome Bartholomew Hawthorne, and when he arrives on her doorstep, she doesn’t know whether to run to him—or away from him. Viscount Hawthorne hasn’t traveled to Oakfield for a friendly visit or to gawk at a garden maze, no matter how eerie it is. He’s there to solve a mystery of his own, and he won’t be distracted by lovely Sydony Marchant—even if she could be his one weakness. But Sydony and Samhain may change his mind. "Simmons grabs readers with a well-crafted Regency-set romance. A stormy, bleak landscape; a dark, unwelcoming manor house and mysterious goings-on in the overgrown ominous maze lend a chilling gothic flavor." – Romantic Times Deborah Simmons is a two-time RITA Finalist and USA Today bestselling author of historical romances originally published by Avon, Harlequin, and Berkley, as well as a romantic comedy.
