The year is 1942. America has, finally, entered the war on the side of beleaguered Britain, bringing to bear its manpower and resources. Winston Churchill has long fought for American involvement, and his dream has been fulfilled. But now comes something to imperil that dream, something with the potential to turn British public opinion against the friendly invaders. American crime, American justice would seem to be straightforward, but the jurisdictional boundaries are crossed, reversed, lost in the maze of murder. An American MP, a Scotland Yard detective and a British officer with close ties to the world of spies and military intelligence together try to unravel the threads, bring murderers to justice. Nothing is straightforward. Neither justice nor retribution. Neither innocence or guilt. The quest takes the three investigators all the way from the British Prime Minister and the American commander, General Eisenhower, to the lowest rungs of the British underworld.

An Australian man, Adam White, finds himself in London working for an unidentified international organisation, work that brings him into intimate contact with good and evil, with life and death itself. His own life hangs in the balance. Can good ultimately triumph over evil? Can a good man do evil things? Does redemption lie at the end of the road less travelled?

Perth, Western Australia, is the world's most isolated capital city. But even in sleepy Perth a serial killer is at work, striking seemingly at will and with impunity. Detective Superintendent Jack Sargent is gradually drawn further and further into the nightmare of successive murders. The killer's ultimate objective soon becomes shockingly clear. And it becomes clear that Sargent and the killer are linked by a 17thC English diarist, Samuel Pepys. The key to the unfolding mayhem is Pepys' diary entries more than three centuries earlier. Sargent can't extricate himself from the killer's inexorable progress, nor can he keep his disabled son from being dragged along with him. The killer is always one step ahead of Sargent and his team of WA Police, taunting Sargent, mocking the inability of the police to prevent further murders. The outcome seems inevitable. Sargent and his son are in the killer's sights.

Of the nearly 500 papers presented on previously unpublishedoriginal research or experimental research and development projects, 273 were selectedfor inclusion in this book. They cover the current basic and applied research on productionand utilization of forages from grasslands the world over.

This is the first English translation, by Thomas Allan Smith, of Philosophy of the Name (Filosofiia imeni). Sergii Bulgakov (1871–1944) wrote the book in response to a theological controversy that erupted in Russia just before the outbreak of World War I. Bulgakov develops a philosophy of language that aims to justify the truthfulness of the statement "the Name of God is God himself," a claim provoking debate on the meaning of names, and the Name of God in particular. Philosophy of the Name investigates the nature of words and human language, considers grammar and parts of speech, and concludes with an exposition on the Name of God. Name-glorifying, a spiritual movement connected with the Orthodox practice of the Jesus Prayer, was initially censured by the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church, and the controversy raised profound questions that continue to vex ecclesiastical authorities and theologians today. The controversy exposed a vital question concerning the ability of human language to express experiences of the Divine truthfully and authentically. Bulgakov examines the idea that humans do not create words, rather, objects speak their word to human beings, and words are the incarnation of thought in a sonic body conveying meaning. Philosophy of the Name offers a philosophy of language for contemporary theologians of all confessions who wrestle with the issue of language and God. It is a persuasive apologia for the mysterious power of words and an appeal to make use of words responsibly not only when speaking about God but equally when communicating with others.

With its scholarly discussions of myth, German idealist philosophy, negative theology, and mysticism, shot through with reflections on personal religious experiences, Unfading Light documents what a life in Orthodoxy came to mean for Sergius Bulgakov on the tumultuous eve of the 1917 October Revolution. Written in the final decade of the Russian Silver Age, the book is a typical product of that era of experimentation in all fields of culture and life. Bulgakov referred to the book as miscellanies, a patchwork of chapters articulating in symphonic form the ideas and personal experiences that he and his entire generation struggled to comprehend. Readers may be reminded of St. Augustine's Confessions and City of God as they follow Bulgakov through the challenges and opportunities presented to Orthodoxy by modernity.

Superintendent Jack Sargent is a Western Australian Police detective, and one of the good guys. But not everybody thinks so. Someone has him in their murderous sights, and seemingly will stop at nothing to achieve their end. Sargent is dragged into a life-and-death struggle against an adversary he can't identify, and who the WA Police can't catch. His disabled son, Daniel, is caught up in the mayhem. And so is Samuel Pepys, dead since 1703, but nonetheless a key player in the drama engulfing Sargent. The killer's motives are obscure, his identity is unknown, and the advance 'clues' he provides to Sargent before each killing serve only to taunt and frustrate. People are going to die. The only unknowns are who, and how many.
