Caradog W. James directs this British sci-fi drama starring Toby
Stephens and Caity Lotz. Top scientist Vincent (Stephens) works for
the Ministry of Defence on a project aimed at producing a weapon
equipped with advanced artificial intelligence. Vincent quickly
enlists the help of Ava (Lotz), an expert on A.I., and the
combination of their skills proves fruitful indeed. Such is the
chemistry between Vincent and Ava that they begin a romantic
relationship, which leads Vincent to confide to his partner that
the conscious machine they've constructed together shares certain
similarities with his ill daughter. This seems certain to cause
problems when MOD bigwig Thomson (Denis Lawson) uses his authority
to move the project in a different direction and Vincent loses
control of his creation...

reaction and reactor engineering.
A compelling collection of the life-changing writings of William
James William James-psychologist, philosopher, and spiritual
seeker-is one of those rare writers who can speak directly and
powerfully to anyone about life's meaning and worth, and whose
ideas change not only how people think but how they live. The
thinker who helped found the philosophy of pragmatism and inspire
Alcoholics Anonymous, James famously asked, "is life worth living?"
Bringing together many of his best and most popular essays, talks,
and other writings, this anthology presents James's answer to that
and other existential questions, in his own unique manner-caring,
humorous, eloquent, incisive, humble, and forever on the trail of
the "ever not quite." Here we meet a James perfectly attuned to the
concerns of today-one who argues for human freedom, articulates a
healthy-minded psychology, urges us to explore the stream of
consciousness, presents a new definition of truth based on its
practical consequences, and never forecloses the possibility of
mystical transcendence. Introduced by John Kaag and Jonathan van
Belle, these compelling and accessible selections reveal why James
is one of the great guides to the business of living.
The momentous interaction between Portugal and Kerala com menced
with the historic voyage of Vasco da Gama in 1498. It had lasting
impact on the society of Kerala. The voyage, with the express
purpose of searching for 'Christians and Spices', left longlasting
imprint on the life of the people of Kerala. Though the Portuguese
did not have political dominion in Kerala, the political influence
they gained in Kerala precipitated a lot of socio-cultural changes.
The intensity and degree of these changes were commensurate with
the tenor of the Portuguese networking with the diverse
socio-cultural traits in Kerala. Those sections of the Kerala
society that gained a higher extent of interconnectedness with the
Portuguese manifested a higher degree of socio-cultural transition.
One of the most significant means for socio-cultural change that
the Portuguese employed in Kerala was ecclesiastical legislation.
This cultural interface between Portugal and Kerala resulted in
multiple fissions and fusions in the society of Kerala. This book
delves deep into the multifarious interaction between the two
communities and the consequent socio-cultural changes that Kerala
witnessed during 1498-1663, the period when Portuguese influence
was at its acme. Please note: This title is co-published with

A Philosophy of Christian Materialism offers a new religious
engagement with the public sphere via means of interdisciplinary
analysis and empirical examples, developing what the authors call a
Relational Christian Realism building upon interaction with
contemporary Philosophy of Religion. The book argues that the
current discourse on public religion is inadequate in addressing
the issues now to be faced, including: material religious practice
in the sphere of education; the growth of alternative political
movements and the developing awareness of environmental concerns
and urban social justice. Key concepts that support this strategic
analysis are: entangled fidelities (the form of a materialist
religious practice); the possibility of a relational Christian
realism (including new developments in how we interpret key
categories of doctrine including God and creation, salvation and
humanity), and the post-secular public sphere (including the
emerging phenomenon of postsecular rapprochement - namely the
coming together of both religious and secular actors in
methodologies and politics of pragmatism as well as ethical
discourse for the sake of the public commons). Co-authored by
theologians in both the USA and the UK, this book represents an
exciting contribution to philosophy and practice of religion on
both sides of the Atlantic and aspires to be sufficiently
interdisciplinary to also appeal to readerships engaged in the
study of modern political and social trends.
