Описание:
A forensic psychologist fights a mental war against two serial killers in this disturbing thriller from Mike Omer, Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestselling author of A Killer's Mind.
An online video of a girl clawing at the ceiling of her own grave could be the worst thing FBI forensic psychologist Zoe Bentley has ever seen. Perhaps even more disturbing is the implication of the video's title: "Experiment Number One."
Zoe and her partner, Special Agent Tatum Gray, work as fast as they can to find the monster behind the shocking video, but soon another one shows up online, and another girl turns up dead. Meanwhile, a different murderer is on Zoe's mind. Rod Glover has been tormenting her since childhood, and his latest attack is a threatening photo of himself with Zoe's sister. As Glover's threats creep toward action, Zoe's torn between family and duty.
Zoe must think fast to prevent another murder. With her own family's safety on the line, Zoe feels she's never been in more danger. And while she's always known her job could send her to an early grave, she always assumed she'd be dead first.

Описание: The role of human sacrifice in the ancient Mediterranean world and its implications continue to be topics that fire the popular imagination and engender scholarly discussion and controversy. This volume provides balanced and judicious treatments of the various facets of these topics from a cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural perspective. It provides nuanced examinations of ancient ritual, exploring the various meanings that human sacrifice held for antiquity, and examines its varied repercussions up into the modern world. The book explores evidence to shed new light on the origins of the rite, to whom these sacrifices were offered, and by whom they were performed. It presents fresh insights into the social and religious meanings of this practice in its varied biblical landscape and ancient contexts, and demonstrates how human sacrifice has captured the imagination of later writers who have employed it in diverse cultural and theological discourses to convey their own views and ideologies. It provides valuable perspectives for understanding key cultural, theological and ideological dimensions, such as the sacrifice of Christ, scapegoating,self-sacrifice and martyrdom in post-biblical and modern times.

Описание: This book investigates perceptions, modes, and techniques of Venetian rule in the early modern Eastern Mediterranean (1400–1700). Against the backdrop of the controversial notion of the Venetian realm as a colonial empire, essays from a range of specialists examine how Venice negotiated control over the territories, resources, and traditions of different empires (Byzantine, Roman, Mamluk, Ottoman) while developing its own claims of authority. Focusing in particular on questions of belonging and status in the Venetian overseas territories, the volume incorporates observations on the daily realities of Venetian rule: how did Venice negotiate claims of authority in light of former and ongoing imperial belongings? What was the status of colonial subjects and ships in the metropolis and in foreign territories? In what ways did Venice accept and continue old forms of imperial belonging? Did subordinate entities join in a shared communal identity? The volume opens new perspectives on Venetian rule at the crossroads of empire and early modern statehood: a polity negotiating and entangling empire.

The phrase "and so they went out" is often used to describe the departure of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. Yet it also aptly describes the many versions of the stories of Adam and Eve as they began to circulate about the turn of the Common Era: they too "went out", and the appearance of these stories in multiple versions and languages attests both to their widespread popularity and to their ongoing appeal in the ancient world. Nor is their appeal confined to antiquity-these stories continue to fascinate, and the various versions of the apocryphal "Books of Adam and Eve" have begun to command considerable attention in the academic world.
Thus far, the scholarly community has concentrated principally on the complex tradition-history of these texts, their date, provenance and language. But the process of the reshaping and transformation of the stories within the "Books of Adam and Eve" has not yet been thoroughly studied. This book sets out to redress this imbalance by focusing primarily upon conceptual, literary, and thematic issues. By making use contemporary critical methods such as literary-critical analysis, ritual theory, and social-scientific taxonomy, the book explores how these stories represent a profound transformation and reshaping of ancient attitudes to gender, body, sexuality, sin, social hierarchies, and human aspirations.

Описание:
Arbel to Zion is the story of Israel, told through poetry. From the garden of Eden to the New Jerusalem, each poem in this book gives a small insight to the greatest story ever written. Centered around the Promised Land, this book includes Scripture based tellings of the lives of people such as Adam and Eve, Moses, and the Pharisees, diving into the meaning and lessons told through their lives, as explained in detailed commentaries. In addition, personal experiences and revelations of the modern day land of Israel are explored as the ancient roots are dug up to reveal themes threaded throughout history. Arbel to Zion captures the tapestry of humanity in the details, telling of dates and olives as so much a part of the story as temples and miracles. It's the story of I AM but a man, the King of all Kings in the flesh, the jealous and holy and perfect sacrifice lamb; it's the history of a people, the promise of a land, the story of the Most High. From Arbel to Zion.
Описание: Shatterzone of Empires is a comprehensive analysis of interethnic relations, coexistence, and violence in Europe's eastern borderlands over the past two centuries. In this vast territory, extending from the Baltic to the Black Sea, four major empires with ethnically and religiously diverse populations encountered each other along often changing and contested borders. Examining this geographically widespread, multicultural region at several levels—local, national, transnational, and empire—and through multiple approaches—social, cultural, political, and economic—this volume offers informed and dispassionate analyses of how the many populations of these borderlands managed to coexist in a previous era and how and why the areas eventually descended into violence. An understanding of this specific region will help readers grasp the preconditions of interethnic coexistence and the causes of ethnic violence and war in many of the world's other borderlands both past and present.

Описание: The moment you start to wonder if you deserve better... you do. Rosa is a woman who possesses a deep, dark power: witchcraft. Her reputation precedes her wherever she travels with her gypsy tent and wagon pulled by a stubborn mule. People do anything to meet Rosa and to have her powers and potions fix their problems, such as having someone killed, falling in love, or any other form of revenge. Rosa is able to do it all, but for a price, and would never trade her experiences or skills for marriage or children. Casandra realizes that her controlling behavior forced her husband Pedro to stop loving her. She was drawn to Rosa, believing that her knowledge in witchcraft would be the solution to Casandra's problem. What Casandra didn't know is that in the end, the bad energy of witchcraft would turn against her and she would experience a boomerang effect. Be Careful what you wish for
