"Can you, can you? Feel our rhythmic beat. No sword in sight, Yeah our voice, fierce and fleet. Birds soar up high, Uncontainable to the sky. When robin meets swan, She told them to run, If Star and moon intertwined Fate of the land was signed." In a dystopian world where everything is twisted with lies, what will you do to stop it? Humanity or love? Humanity or wealth and power? Choose the most important thing. You can't just expect that just because you decide to have a pet one day and train it to behave as you want, they will. Sometimes the pet under your care will behave differently than what you expect.

The Heavens on Earth explores the place of the observatory in nineteenth-century science and culture. Astronomy was a core pursuit for observatories, but usually not the only one. It belonged to a larger group of “observatory sciences” that also included geodesy, meteorology, geomagnetism, and even parts of physics and statistics. These pursuits coexisted in the nineteenth-century observatory; this collection surveys them as a coherent whole. Broadening the focus beyond the solitary astronomer at his telescope, it illuminates the observatory’s importance to technological, military, political, and colonial undertakings, as well as in advancing and popularizing the mathematical, physical, and cosmological sciences. The contributors examine “observatory techniques” developed and used not only in connection with observatories but also by instrument makers in their workshops, navy officers on ships, civil engineers in the field, and many others. These techniques included the calibration and coordination of precision instruments for making observations and taking measurements; methods of data acquisition and tabulation; and the production of maps, drawings, and photographs, as well as numerical, textual, and visual representations of the heavens and the earth. They also encompassed the social management of personnel within observatories, the coordination of international scientific collaborations, and interactions with dignitaries and the public. The state observatory occupied a particularly privileged place in the life of the city. With their imposing architecture and ancient traditions, state observatories served representative purposes for their patrons, whether as symbols of a monarch’s enlightened power, a nation’s industrial and scientific excellence, or republican progressive values. Focusing on observatory techniques in settings from Berlin, London, Paris, and Rome to Australia, Russia, Thailand, and the United States, The Heavens on Earth is a major contribution to the history of science.

In this multi-disciplinary collection we ask the question, 'What did, and do, Quakers think about good and evil?' There are no simple or straightforwardly uniform answers to this, but in this collection, we draw together contributions that for the first time look at historical and contemporary Quakerdom's approach to the ethical and theological problem of evil and good. Within Quakerism can be found Liberal, Conservative, and Evangelical forms. This book uncovers the complex development of metaethical thought by a religious group that has evolved with an unusual degree of diversity. In doing so, it also points beyond the boundaries of the Religious Society of Friends to engage with the spectrum of thinking in the wider religious world.

Collecting essays from prominent scholars who span the globe and academic disciplines, Practicing with Paul speaks into the life of the church in ways that inspire and edify followers and ministers of Jesus Christ. Each contribution delves into the details and historical contexts of Paul's letters, including the interpretation of those texts throughout church history. Meanwhile, each author interprets those details in relation to Christian practice and suggests implications for contemporary Christian ministry that flow out of this rich interpretive process. By modeling forms of interpretation that are practically-oriented, this book provides inspiration for current and future Christian ministers as they too attempt to incarnate the ways of Christ along with Paul.

“A tour de force . . . provocative ideas expressed in Heideggerian, Derridean, and Deleuzian rhetoric . . . for a new wave of Christian theologians” (Bibliographia). The Insistence of God presents the provocative idea that God does not exist—God insists. God’s existence is a human responsibility, which may or may not happen. For John D. Caputo, God’s existence is haunted by “perhaps,” which does not signify indecisiveness but an openness to risk, to the unforeseeable. Perhaps constitutes a theology of what is to come and what we cannot see coming. Responding to current critics of continental philosophy, Caputo explores the materiality of perhaps and the promise of the world. He shows how perhaps can become a new theology of the gaps God opens. “John D. Caputo is at the top of his game, and he is not content to reiterate what he has already expressed, but continues to develop his own ideas further by way of a thorough engagement with the fields of theology, Continental philosophy, and religious thought.” —Clayton Crockett, University of Central Arkansas “For those allergic to theological certainty―whether of God’s existence or of God’s death―Caputo delivers storm-fresh relief: the theopoetics of God’s insistence.” —Catherine Keller, Drew University “In my life I have read no more stimulating book of theology. Buckle your seatbelt!” —Dialog “An excellent text that opens the way into new forms of theological thinking. He puts forward an argument that must be wrestled with and brings to light new avenues for both religious and theological thought. Caputo is not for the faint of heart.” —Reviews in Religion and Theology

In the quiet shadows of an orphanage doorstep, destiny unfolded for Elara. Abandoned as a babe, she grew under the watchful eyes of nuns who sensed the extraordinary within her. Objects danced with her moods, and flowers bloomed brighter in her presence. Whispers in the village spoke of magic coursing through her veins, a child born of both the mundane and mystical worlds. Yet, Elara herself remained unaware of the extent of her enchanting abilities. One dawn, as sunlight filtered through the trees, Elara awoke to an electrifying sensation. The air itself pulsed with otherworldly energy, unveiling a spectacle beyond imagination. The emerald forest transformed into a kaleidoscope of shimmering colours, revealing a hidden tapestry of magic. Amidst the ethereal display, a figure materialized – a guardian of the ether. "Elara," he whispered, revealing her destiny. A choice lay before her – to embrace the magic within or to turn away. With a gentle touch against a shimmering barrier, Elara's world expanded. Visions of starlight dragons and whispering trees flooded her senses, unlocking the mysteries of the ether. The guardian faded, leaving Elara with a newfound purpose. Determined, she chose to embrace her connection to the ethereal, setting forth on a journey to uncover the secrets of her origins and bridge the gap between worlds. Fast forward to the realm of Etherea, where magic flowed like a symphony. "Chronicles of the Ethereal Nebulae Empress" unveils a tale of grandeur and mystique. Etherea, a world teeming with wonder, is a breathtaking tapestry of diverse landscapes and creatures, woven together by the essence of ether. Empress Elara, a sorceress of unparalleled prowess, rules over Etherea. Her connection to the ether grants her immense power, but ruling is no simple feat. Navigating political alliances, ancient rivalries, and the looming Shadowstorm, Elara must be more than just a ruler – she is a diplomat, strategist, and visionary. As the Shadowstorm threatens Etherea, Elara faces challenges that test her abilities. Ancient prophecies point to a chosen one, but the path is shrouded in uncertainty. Elara's journey unfolds, a tale of external threats, internal struggles, and the unyielding determination of a woman destined to shape the fate of her world.
