John Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding is among the most
important books in philosophy ever written. It is also a difficult
work dealing with many themes, including the origin of ideas; the
extent and limits of human knowledge; the philosophy of perception;
and religion and morality. This volume is original in that it
focuses on the last two of these topics and provides a clear and
insightful survey of these overlooked aspects of Locke's best known
work. Four eminent Locke scholars present authoritative discussions
of Locke's view on the ethics of belief, personal identity, free
will and moral theory. Contributors include John Passmore
(Australian National University), Harold Noonan (Birmingham
University), Vere Chappell (University of Massachusetts, Amherst),
and Daniel Flage (James Madison University).

Dr. Steven Grant, Columbia University professor of political
science and special assistant to the UN Secretary-General, is
recruited by the CIA to identify a terrorist cell formed inside the
United Nations. Still recovering from the death of his wife a year
ago, Grant hopes this new adventure will spring him from the deep
depression he's suffered. When an undercover Mossad agent posing as
an Arabic aide at the UN discovers the terrorists' plan, Grant
knows he's got to put everything he has into this mission. The
terrorists want to explode bombs at a Iranian facility storing
three fully developed nuclear warheads and then blame Israel, thus
forcing Iran to retaliate using their secret nuclear weapons.
Grants teams with an alluring female psychologist to track down the
terrorists. Unfortunately, the terrorist organization wants to
eliminate them both. In his frantic search to find and stop the
radicals before they launch their planned attack and start a
nuclear war, Grant faces Iraqi insurgents, Hamas militants, and
Egyptian Secret Police from New York to the Middle East. Just as
alarming to him, though, is that he must also face the very real
possibility that he's falling in love.
