Roger Moore plays 007 for the first time, bringing a new camp
sensibility to the series while presiding over the usual quota of
eyebrow-raising action and unusual gadgets. The mission this time
is to crack a voodoo-controlled drug smuggling racket in the
Caribbean, and Bond sets about the task with his customary verve,
finding time for speedboat chases and crocodile encounters along
the way. Admirable support is offered by Clifton James, as an irate
Southern-States Sheriff, and Jane Seymour, as a Voodoo Queen whose
power disappears when she loses her virginity by sleeping with
Bond. The theme tune is performed by Paul McCartney and Wings.
This volume collects some of the best recent writings on St.
Thomas's philosophy of law and includes a critical examination of
Aquinas's theory of the relation between law and morality, his
natural law theory, as well as the modern reformulation of his
approach to natural rights. The volume shows how Aquinas understood
the importance of positive law and demonstrates the modern
relevance of his writings by including Thomistic critiques of
modern jurisprudence and examples of applications of Thomistic
jurisprudence to specific modern legal problems such as federalism,
environmental policy, abortion and euthanasia. The volume also
features an introduction which places Aquinas's writings in the
context of modern jurisprudence as well as an extensive
bibliography. The volume is suited to the needs of jurisprudence
scholars, teachers and students and is an essential resource for
all law libraries.

Mrs. Gareth, widowed chatelaine of Poynton, is fighting to keep her
house with its priceless objets d'art from her son Owen and his
lovely, utterly philistine fiancee. When she discovers that her
young friend and sympathizer Fleda Vetch is secretly in love with
Owen, she thrusts her into the battle-line.
The power struggle that ensues between the three women leaves Owen
vacillating. What is at stake is not the mere possession of tables
and chairs; it is, for Fleda, a conflict between aesthetic ideals,
ethical imperatives, and her innermost feelings, in which she risks
betraying, and being betrayed by, all that she holds most dear.
About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has
made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the
globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to
scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of
other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading
authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date
bibliographies for further study, and much more."
St. Augustine and Roman law are the two bridges from Athens and
Jerusalem to the world of modern law. Augustine's almost eerily
modern political realism was based upon his deep appreciation of
human evil, arising from his insights into the human personality,
the product of his reflections on his own life and the history of
his times. These insights have traveled well through the ages and
are mirrored in the pages of Aquinas, Luther and Calvin, Reinhold
Niebuhr, and Hannah Arendt. The articles in this volume describe
the life and world of Augustine and the ways in which he conceived
both justice and law. They also discuss the little recognized
Augustinian contributions to the field of modern hermeneutics - the
discipline which informs the art of legal interpretation. Finally,
they include Augustine's valuable discussion of church/state
relations, the law of just wars, and proper role and limits of
coercion, and the procreative dimensions of marriage. The volume
also includes an extremely useful, definitive bibliography of
Augustine and the law, and will leave readers with an increased
appreciation of the contributions which Augustine has made to the
history of jurisprudence. No one can read Augustine and these
articles on his view of the law without taking away a new view of
the law itself.

In this sequel to 'Dracula' (1958), four English tourists are
holidaying in the Carpathians when they meet the unconventional
Father Sandor (Andrew Keir) at an inn. He warns them to avoid the
local castle if they value their lives, but the next day the
quartet find themselves stranded in the mountains after their
driver abandons them. When a driverless carriage arrives they board
it, intending to travel to the nearest village. However, the
carriage instead takes them to the very castle which Sandor warned
them against, where they are welcomed by Klove (Philip Latham),
sinister manservant of Count Dracula (Christopher Lee)...
A collection of five Hammer horror films from the 1960s. In 'The
Nanny' (1965), a nanny (Bette Davis) is hired to look after a
ten-year-old who has just returned from a mental institution. The
boy's mother has just been poisoned and he believes the nanny is to
blame. When his aunt arrives and hears the boy's accusations she
sides with the nanny, claiming the boy is making it all up.
'Dracula: Prince of Darkness' (1965) is the sequel to the 1958 film
'Dracula'. Four English tourists are holidaying in the Carpathians
when they meet the unconventional Father Sandor (Andrew Keir) at an
inn. He warns them to avoid the local castle if they value their
lives, but the next day the quartet find themselves stranded in the

village. However, the carriage instead takes them to the very
castle which Sandor warned them against, where they are welcomed by

(Christopher Lee). 'Quatermass and the Pit' (1967) is the Hammer
version of the popular TV series. When prehistoric skulls and the
remains of an alien spaceship are discovered in the bowels of
London's Underground during an excavation, a weird and powerful
force is unleashed, and Professor Quatermass (Keir) is called in to
investigate. 'Frankenstein Created Woman' is the sequel to the 1964
film 'Evil of Frankenstein'. The Baron (Peter Cushing) has taken up
residence with well-meaning inebriate Doctor Hertz (Thorley
Walters). When Hertz successfully revives Frankenstein after
freezing his body, the latter deduces that the human spirit does
not leave the body after death, and can therefore be transmuted
into another form. He gets the chance to prove his theory when his
young assistant, Hans, is hanged for a murder he did not commit,
and Hans' disfigured lover, Christina, commits suicide in despair.
After performing cosmetic surgery on Christina, the two scientists
successfully transfer Hans's spirit into her body. However, Hans
now sets out to take revenge on those responsible for his death.
Finally, in 'The Devil Rides Out' (1967), the Duc de Richleau (Lee)
is concerned by the disappearance of his young friend Simon
(Patrick Mower) from the social scene. Accompanied by former army
colleague Rex (Leon Greene), de Richleau discovers that Simon has
joined a group of Devil worshippers, led by the evil Mocata
(Charles Gray). Through de Richleau's attempts to wrest Simon from
Mocata's influence, Rex becomes romantically involved with Tanith,
another member of the cult.

F.W. Murnau's silent vampire classic. Count Orlok (Max Schreck)
decides to move from his ruined castle to the city of Bremen and
hires real estate agent Thomas Hutter (Gustav von Wangenheim) to
make the arrangements for him. But Orlok is also the vampire
Nosferatu, and when he takes a shine to Hutter's young wife Ellen
(Greta Schroder), it seems that the worst is indeed possible.
Adapted from Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' (though with character names
changed for legal reasons), Murnau's film also features some of the
most famous sequences in cinema, including the Count's climb up the
stairs to Ellen's room, his claw-hand outstretched and his crooked
shadow on the wall. This is the version restored by the Münchner
Filmmuseum and the Cineteca del Comune di Bologna, featuring a new
score by James Bernard.

A holistic view of human development that rejects the conventional
stages of childhood, adulthood, and old age When we talk about
human development, we tend to characterize it as proceeding through
a series of stages in which we are first children, then
adolescents, and finally, adults. But as James Bernard Murphy
observes, growth is not limited to the young nor is decline limited
to the aged. We are never trapped within the horizon of a
particular life stage: children anticipate adulthood and adults
recapture childhood. According to Murphy, the very idea of stages
of life undermines our ability to see our lives as a whole. In Your
Whole Life, Murphy asks: what accounts for the unity of a human
life over time? He advocates for an unconventional, developmental
story of human nature based on a nested hierarchy of three
powers-first, each person's unique human genome insures biological
identity over time; second, each person's powers of imagination and
memory insure psychological identity over time; and, third, each
person's ability to tell his or her own life story insures
narrative identity over time. Just as imagination and memory rely
upon our biological identity, so our autobiographical stories rest
upon our psychological identity. Narrative is not the foundation of
personal identity, as many argue, but its capstone. Engaging with
the work of Aristotle, Augustine, Jesus, and Rousseau, as well as
with the contributions of contemporary evolutionary biologists and
psychologists, Murphy challenges the widely shared assumptions in
Western thinking about personhood and its development through
discrete stages of childhood, adulthood, and old age. He offers,
instead, a holistic view in which we are always growing and
declining, always learning and forgetting, and always living and
dying, and finds that only in relation to one's whole life does the
passing of time obtain meaning.
'A wonderful introduction to history's most influential scribblers' -
Steven Pinker
What is truly at stake in politics? Nothing less than how we should
live, as individuals and as communities. This book goes beyond the
surface headlines, the fake news and the hysteria to explore the
timeless questions posed and answers offered by a diverse group of the
30 greatest political thinkers who have ever lived.
Are we political, economic, or religious animals? Should we live in
small city-states, nations, or multinational empires? What values
should politics promote? Should wealth be owned privately or in common?
Do animals also have rights? There is no idea too radical for this
global assortment of thinkers, which includes: Confucius; Plato;
Augustine; Machiavelli; Burke; Wollstonecraft; Marx; Nietzsche; Gandhi;
Qutb; Arendt; Nussbaum, Naess and Rawls.
In each brief chapter, the authors paint a vivid portrait of these
often prescient, always compelling political thinkers, showing how
their ideas grew out of their own dramatic lives and times and evolved
beyond them. Now more than ever we need to be reminded that politics
can be a noble, inspiring and civilising art. And if we want to
understand today's political world, we need to understand the
foundations of politics and its architects. This is the perfect guide
to both.
