A Theology for a Mediated God introduces a new way to examine the
shaping effects of media on our notions of God and divinity. In
contrast to more conventional social-scientific methodologies and
conversations about the relationship between religion and media,
Dennis Ford argues that the characteristics we ascribe to a medium
can be extended and applied metaphorically to the characteristics
we ascribe to God-just as earlier generations attempted to
comprehend God through the metaphors of father, shepherd, or
mother. As a result, his work both challenges and bridges the gap
between students of religion and media, and theology.

On November 22, 1963, curtain rod salesman Sam Vincent takes
lunch in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, and awaits the arrival of President
Kennedy. Sam eats his lunch while standing on a sewer grate, with
no idea the president's true assassin crouches below, gun at the
ready. This coincidence earns Sam a place in the "Outfit That Has
No Name" and a new identity as Professor Vincent Samuel, publisher
of The Magic Bulletin.
Thirty years later, brokerage clerk Peter Hokes attends a
convention of assassination enthusiasts. In the midst of wild
theories and a couple crazies, Peter remains fascinated with the
Kennedy assassination and the mystery surrounding the president's
death. He realizes appearances can be deceiving just as deceptions
begin appearing all around him.
In Manhattan Peter's obsession with the assassination cost him
Aretha Nally, the single lustrous person in his life. In Dallas his
obsession carries additional costs. His innocuous research on the
Red White and Blue Curtain Rod Company earns him a life-changing
encounter with the mysterious Professor Samuel and permanent
citizenship in the vast chaotic cauldron that constitutes
conspiracy land.
A primary objective for life science executives is raising capital.
Very often, however, a lack of marketing and sales skills impedes
their efforts. Focusing regionally, rather than globally, only
compounds the challenge. "The Life Science Executive's Fundraising
Manifesto" helps scientists understand the fundamental skills
needed to brand and market their companies. It discusses how to use
a consistent message to achieve compelling results from a
fundraising campaign, and it teaches you how to aggregate a list of
potential global investors that are a fit for your company's
products and services. The book also explains how to efficiently
and effectively reach out to potential investor targets, start a
dialogue that fosters a relationship, and ultimately secure capital
allocations. Raising capital is not a one-time event. It must be an
ongoing part of your business strategy. This book reveals the
expertise required to continually fundraise and bring your ideas to
market.

In the whimsical tradition he is known for, humorist Dennis Ford
once again embarks on an amusing exploration into the captivating
worlds of science, literature, history, and popular culture-all
without ever leaving the comfy air-conditioned interior of his
Saturn Ion.
In the style of his previous work, "Thinking About Everything,"
Ford shares a medley of new musings on the worries of the world and
the unique friendliness of San Antonio as he plays peek-a-boo with
a spider, attempts to climb a rainbow, and captures a leprechaun.
Ever the helpful humorist, Ford continues on a journey of
thoughtful adventures through the mundane and esoteric as he
explains how the postal service can mail itself into a profitable
future, why fantastical lies can make elections more interesting,
and a way through which one can acquire a window seat on the ferry
to the Great Beyond. Included are "Excellent Groaners," a
compilation of puns, and "Professor Fawcett's Notorious Lecture on
Test-Irrelevant Thoughts," a learned presentation on the
psychological perils of test anxiety told partly in acronyms.
"Miles of Thoughts" offers an amusing glimpse into one man's
upside-down world as he commutes through the beautiful scenery of
the New Jersey Pine Barrens and contemplates life.
