However, in the moment of victory on 25 October 1944, the US Navy found itself confronting a frightening enemy that had been unimaginable until it appeared. The kamikaze, 'divine wind' in Japanese, was something Americans were totally unprepared for – a shocking violation of every belief held in the West.

I’ve been stuck in this form for hundreds of years, forced to fight the very people I swore to protect. We’re paraded around like prized horses as a reminder to the humans to remain in line. My people and I have lost hope. What’s the point of hoping for freedom when there’s no one left to save us from these shackles and chains? But then, one of my monsters roars. It’s the roar that tells me he’s sensed our queen. My mate. She’s the key to freeing us all. To saving us. And though she is a mere human, I pity the fool who underestimates her. Xeraphina Sisko is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Rather than treating stories as isolated episodes, we trace the connections: how the Bronze Age collapse informs Judges, how the Assyrian battle imagery shapes Isaiah, how Temple geography intensifies Holy Week...

Summa Theologica consists of three main parts. The second part is divided two, and this recording presents Prima Secundae - Part I of Part II. Taken in its entirety, Summa Theologica forms an essential contribution to the canon of Catholic doctrine and was written in the last decade of his life by Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274), an Italian-born Dominican friar. Although he died before completing it, the body of thought it contains is a continuing influence to the education and guidance of students of theology in the main Christian traditions.  

German short stories began in the late 18th century as brief, beautifully written moral fables. In the following century, style evolved toward realism in parallel with that of other European literature.

The modern materialist approach to life has conspicuously failed to explain such central mind-related features of our world as consciousness, intentionality, meaning, and value. This failure to account for something so integral to nature as mind, argues philosopher Thomas Nagel, is a major problem, threatening to unravel the entire naturalistic world picture, extending to biology, evolutionary theory, and cosmology. Since minds are features of biological systems that have developed through evolution, the standard materialist version of evolutionary biology is fundamentally incomplete.
