Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Life in hell ain’t easy. Demons try to torture you for all
eternity. Monsters want to eat you. There’s a stunning lack of
reliable indoor plumbing. And it’s almost impossible to get ice
cream. At least, until today, when three condemned teens and their
annoying tagalong demon frenemy embark on a daring scheme to hijack
a demon lord’s delivery truck. What happens next will take them
on an epic journey across the underworld, an infernal excursion of
nonstop excitement, danger and adventure. Presenting a devilishly
fun new series from multiple Eisner-winning writer/letterer John
Layman (CHEW, Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum) and Argentinian
superstar artist Jok. Collects IN HELL WE FIGHT #1-#5, plus short
stories from Image Anthology #10 and #11
What gives some people the right to issue commands to everyone else
and force everyone else to obey them? And why should people obey
the commands of those with political power? These two key questions
are the heart of the issue of political authority, and, in this
volume, two philosophers debate the answers. Michael Huemer argues
that political authority is an illusion and that no one is entitled
to rule over anyone. He discusses and rebuts the major theories
supporting political authority's rightfulness: implicit social
contract theory, hypothetical contract theories, democratic
theories of authority, and utilitarian theories. Daniel Layman
argues that democratic governments have authority because they are
needed to protect our rights and because they are accountable to
the people. Each author writes two replies directly addressing the
arguments and ideas of the other. Key Features Covers a key
foundational problem of political philosophy: the authority of
government. Debate format ensures a full hearing of both sides. A
Glossary includes key concepts in political philosophy related to
the issue of authority. Annotated Further Reading sections point
students to additional resources. Clear, concrete examples and
arguments help students clearly see both sides of the argument. A
Foreword by Matt Zwolinski describes a broader context for
political authority and then traces the key points and turns in the
authors' debate.

Morality and religion: intimately wed, violently opposed, or
something else? Discussion of this issue appears in pop culture,
the academy, and the media often generating radically opposed
views. At one end of the spectrum are those who think that unless
God exists, ethics is unfounded and the moral life is unmotivated.
At the other end are those who think that religious belief is
unnecessary for and even a threat to ethical knowledge and the
moral life. This volume provides an accessible, charitable
discussion that represents a range of views along this spectrum.
The book begins with a lively debate between Paul Kurtz and William
Lane Craig on the question, Is goodness without God good enough?
Kurtz defends the affirmative position and Craig the negative.
Following the debate are new essays by prominent scholars. These
essays comment on the debate and advance the broader discussion of
religion and morality. The book closes with final responses from
Kurtz and Craig.

This book explores the philosophical issues arising from the
distinctively Christian doctrines of the atonement, incarnation,
and Trinity. To many philosophers and theologians, these doctrines
raise considerable philosophical quandaries. In this volume, C.
Stephen Layman explores such questions as: Why do these doctrines
matter? Do they make sense? Do the historically influential
theories about them hold up under scrutiny? To what extent do
recent contributions by philosophers (e.g., Richard Swinburne,
Thomas V. Morris, Stephen T. Davis, Brian Leftow, and Peter van
Inwagen) shed light on these doctrines? This philosophical
investigation illuminates how religious questions can be addressed
with philosophical seriousness.

Tony Chu is a cibopath, able to get psychic impressions from what
he eats. Saffron Chu is a cibopars, able to learn secrets from who

series CHEW comes CHU, a felonious new food-noir about cops,
crooks, cooks, & clairvoyants.
Felon. Parole violator. Fugitive. Cibopars. Food-powered master
criminal Saffron Chu is back, staring down the barrel of the
biggest --and strangest-- score of her career. Return to the
CHEW-niverse once again for Saffron's second blood-soaked
adventure, and an alcoholic art heist that spans the centuries.
