When a routine paranormal investigation turns up a hand written note leading to a mythical book, John Fairbourne sets about a chain of events that will see his entire world tip on its head, where family and friends turn out to be more than what they seem. He begins to have flashbacks into various parts of another man's life, leading him to the fabled JANUS Codex and bringing him to the attention of a shadowy organisation led by a figure known only as Xavier. Forced on the run, John is rescued by a group of allies following the instructions of a man that died eighty years before John was even born, a legendary Victorian adventurer by the name of Nathaniel "Lone Wolf" Fairbourne. With the help of his friends and new allies, John must follow the clues left by his ancestor in a race against time to bring about the reformation of a specialist group, formed with the sole purpose of stopping Xavier from achieving his nefarious goals. Along the way, John will unravel the mystery ...

Dzogchen beschreibt die Natur des Geistes als uneingeschränktes Gewahrsein frei von aller Anstrengung und Künstlichkeit. Die in diesem Buch veröffentlichten Texte tibetischer Autoren zeigen auf unterschiedliche Weise einen Weg auf, wie sich mit Hilfe von Sichtweise und Meditation des Dzogchen diese Natur des Geistes erfahren lässt und wie sich in diesem Erkennen alles Leiden und alle Verwirrung von selbst befreit.

Critical Questions in Persuasion Research presents students with a refreshing way to study persuasion, communication theory, and human behavior. Rather than examining different types of persuasion research and reviewing each one at a time, communication scholars Franklin J. Boster and Christopher J. Carpenter explore eight key controversies, as well as research and theory related to each topic: - What constitutes a strong persuasive message, and does it matter? - How do we adapt persuasive messages to diverse audiences? - Do persuasive messages have side effects? - How can we manage the buzz? - How can we maintain attitude change? - Can a persuasive message be counterproductive? - How can we encourage resistance to persuasion? - To what extent does action follow from attitudes? By focusing on how various disciplines deal with the big controversies in the persuasion process, students gain an understanding not only of key ideas and theories, but how the ideas and theories fit together in...

A new edition of a book, written in a humorous question-and-answer style, that shows how to implement and use an elegant little programming language for logic programming. The goal of this book is to show the beauty and elegance of relational programming, which captures the essence of logic programming. The book shows how to implement a relational programming language in Scheme, or in any other functional language, and demonstrates the remarkable flexibility of the resulting relational programs. As in the first edition, the pedagogical method is a series of questions and answers, which proceed with the characteristic humor that marked The Little Schemer and The Seasoned Schemer. Familiarity with a functional language or with the first five chapters of The Little Schemer is assumed. For this second edition, the authors have greatly simplified the programming language used in the book, as well as the implementation of the language. In addition to revising the text extensively, and simpli...

This book applies Owen's unique genetic-social framework to the study of crime and criminal behaviour, with an emphasis on cybercrime. Moving beyond challenges which confront contemporary criminological theorizing such as: the stagnation of critical criminology, the relativistic nihilism of the 'cultural turn', posthumanism, and virtual criminology, the author codifies and 'applies' the latest version of the framework to the study of crime, both in and out of cyberspace. Drawing upon evolutionary psychology, behavioural genetics and the philosophy of Heidegger, he introduces new terms such as 'Neuro-Agency' and notions of Embodied Cognition into criminological theorizing. Adopting a soft compatibilist approach to free-will, and Realist ontology, Owen's meta-theoretical focus provides a new direction for criminological theorizing, in particular in the direction of the conceptualization and prediction of cyber violence. Exciting and timely, this bo...
