Plunge into the depths of the unknown in this thrilling work of nonfiction, combining history, science, nature writing, and environmentalism, that invites its reader to explore the deepest recesses of our natural world. Oceans created, shaped, and sustain not just human life, but all life on Planet Earth, and perhaps beyond it. They are our history — from evolution to exploration and colonialism; our present — from beach holidays to transporting food and goods; and our future — we cannot survive if sea levels are too low or too high, temperatures too cold or too warm. They are also vast spaces of immense wonder and beauty, and our relationship to them is innate and awe-inspired. Deep Water is both a personal and wide-ranging reckoning with our complex relationship with the natural world, a book shaped by tidal movements and deep currents, lit by the presence of other minds and other ways of being. It speaks directly and uncompromisingly of the pressing urgency of the environmental catastrophe that is overtaking us, but is also suffused with the glories of the ocean, and the extraordinary efforts of the scientists and researchers whose work helps us to understand its secrets. For it is in this work, and the new ways of seeing it offers us, that we will find a means to understand our relationship not just with the planet, but our past, and perhaps most importantly, our future.

In the fields of metaphysics and epistemology, ethics and political thought, idealism can generate controversy and disagreement. This title is part of the "Idealism" series, which finds in idealism new features of interest and a perspective which is germane to our own philosophical concerns. This text is a collection of essays analyzing the impact of the thought of F.H. Bradley (1846-1924) on philosophy throughout the English-speaking world. Bradley's complex version of absolute idealism plays a key role not only in idealist philosophy, politics and ethics, but also in the development of modern logic, of analytical philosophy, and of pragmatism, as well as in the thinking of figures such as R.G. Collingwood and A.N. Whitehead. The work of a group of Canadian philosophers writing from widely different standpoints, the essays in this volume define both the nature and scale of Bradley's influence and continuing significance in large areas of debate in 20th-century philosophy. Topics covered include: the history of idealism in the 20th century; Bradley's relation to figures such as Bernard Bosanquet, C.A. Campbell, Brand Blanshard, John Watson, John Dewey, R.G. Collingwood, and A.N. Whitehead; Bradley's influence on 20th-century empiricism, modern logic, and analytical philosophy; and his significance for contemporary debates in epistemology and ethics.

Enter a world where demons still stalk the earth. Fortunately, the Vatican Elite Force is there to make sure that they don't steal souls without a fight.

Now, one of the Vatican's best special agents and assassins - Father Domenico Marsala - is on his most important mission yet: He's tracking down Asmodais Winters, the demon prince of lust who has already survived four assassination attempts.

Iblis, the self-proclaimed King of the Jinn, has ordered Asmodais to revisit America in a bid to draw more human followers to the evil side. The mission holds special significance to Asmodais, who wants to find his daughter and former lover so he can bring them back to Paris.

The Vatican Elite Force thinks that it has a good shot of ridding the world of the demon prince once and for all, but Father Marsala is about to face evil on a scale that he never imagined. Join him as he follows a path that features plenty of intrigue, lust and unexpected twists on the way to Fighting Evil.

On the success of his two bestselling books about World War II, James Bradley began to wonder what the real catalyst was for the Pacific War. What he discovered shocked him.
In 1905 President Teddy Roosevelt dispatched Secretary of War William Taft, his daughter Alice, and a gaggle of congressmen on a mission to Japan, the Philippines, China, and Korea with the intent of forging an agreement to divide up Asia. This clandestine pact lit the fuse that would-decades later-result in a number of devastating wars: WWII, the Korean War, and the communist revolution in China.
In 2005, James Bradley retraced that epic voyage and discovered the remarkable truth about America's vast imperial past. Full of fascinating characters brought brilliantly to life, "The Imperial Cruise" will powerfully revise the way we understand U.S. history.
