Описание: Evolution and Conversion explores the main tenets of Ren? Girard's thought in a series of dialogues. Here, Girard reflects on the evolution of his thought and offers striking new insights on topics such as violence, religion, desire and literature. His long argument is a historical one in which the origin of culture and religion is reunited in the contemporary world by means of a reinterpretation of Christianity and an understanding of the intrinsically violent nature of human beings. He also offers provocative re-readings of Biblical and literary texts and responds to statements by Daniel Dennett and Richard Dawkins. Including an introduction by the authors, this is a revealing text by one of the most original thinkers of our time.

Описание:
Special Ops Agent Cameron Cruz is joining her team to shut down a massive human trafficking operation, working out of San Francisco Bay.
Coming back to work after the birth of her son, she is ready. She is strong.
Until she witnesses a colleague shot and killed before her eyes. The death is shocking, but the reality is much, much worse.
The shooter is someone she trusted. Someone she loved. Someone she thought was killed during an undercover assignment--her son's father, Diego.
"A gripping story with a strong female cop at the heart. The twists and turns keep coming and the pace doesn't let up until the very last page. I already ordered the next rookie club book "
Despite what she's seen, Cameron's love for Diego is as alive as he is. But someone is working hard to frame him. Before she will accept his innocence, she has to help him prove it.
Even as she works to clear his name, the evidence against Diego mounts--evidence that he's guilty of kidnapping and imprisoning the very people he's sworn to protect and serve, that he's guilty of betraying their teammates, and the entire police department. Guilty of betraying her.
At the same time, Cameron is fighting to break a sex trafficking ring in her own city. The closer she comes to identifying the traffickers, the closer her investigation brings her to the police department's front door.
Suddenly, she must question who she can trust.
And who is willing to risk it all to send her--and the truth--to the grave.

Can Homicide Inspector Hailey Wyatt solve a murder that might lead back to her very own family? Even if it means revealing a secret that she vowed she'd die to keep? "Addictive. A thrilling ride you won't be able to put down until the very last page." Two of San Francisco's most powerful residents are murdered. Is their killer making a political statement? Or is it more personal?
Homicide Inspector Hailey Wyatt is only just pulling her life back together after being recently widowed, when the case falls in her lap. The case has the media in a frenzy and the brass in a panic. The entire city is on high alert.
The evidence makes it impossible to deny that Hailey's family is at the center of the case.
Rumors in the department are that the assignment has nothing to do with her investigative ability and everything to do with her senator father-in-law.
The police chief's message is clear. Solve the case. Quickly. Or else.
The deeper they dig, the more questions arise, and the more troubling the case becomes. As the evidence points closer to home, Hailey's partner questions her dedication to the pursuit of justice.
Because Hailey has secrets of her own. Secrets she's vowed to protect. Secrets she's willing to die for.

Trevor Cribben Merrill offers a bold reassessment of Milan Kundera's place in the contemporary canon. Harold Bloom and others have dismissed the Franco-Czech author as a maker of "period pieces" that lost currency once the Berlin Wall fell. Merrill refutes this view, revealing a previously unexplored dimension of Kundera's fiction. Building on theorist Ren Girard's notion of "triangular desire," he shows that modern classics such as The Unbearable Lightness of Being and The Book of Laughter and Forgetting display a counterintuitive--and bitterly funny--understanding of human attraction.
Most works of fiction (and most movies, too) depict passionate feelings as deeply authentic and spontaneous. Kundera's novels and short stories overturn this romantic dogma. A pounding heart and sweaty palms could mean that we have found "the One" at last--or they could attest to the influence of a model whose desires we are unconsciously borrowing: our amorous predilections may owe less to personal taste or physical chemistry than they do to imitative desire.
At once a comprehensive survey of Kundera's novels and a witty introduction to Girard's mimetic theory, The Book of Imitation and Desire challenges our assumptions about human motive and renews our understanding of a major contemporary author.
