Seven-feet-tall. Four hundred pounds. A blood-crusted, rusty steel plate screwed into his skull. But perhaps the most terrifying thing about reclusive psychopath Jacob Goodnight are the razor-sharp nails on his forefingers, the ones that circle around his victims' eyes just before he takes them. Holed up within the long-abandoned Blackwell Hotel, nine floors of hidden passageways and two-way mirrors that once acted as a playground for the rich and privileged, Jacob's disturbing gaze is now fixed on Kira, Christine, Michael, Tye, Zoe, Melissa,...

I'm Proud of You: My Friendship with Fred Rogers
ISBN: 9781470155117 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It began as another newspaper assignment, a celebrity profile of the children's television icon. But in Fred Rogers, Texas journalist Tim Madigan found more than a fascinating subject. From their first meeting in 1995, at Rogers' invitation, the two became unlikely friends, a deep and abiding relationship that lasted until Rogers' death in 2003. In that time, Madigan found Rogers to be much more than the calm and compassionate personality of television. He was a person of unique human greatness who embodied love, compassion and wisdom his every waking moment. He was the transcendent being who...

Andrea Fulvio\'s Illustrium Imagines and the Beginnings of Classical Archaeology
ISBN: 9789004288126 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Andrea Fulvio’s Illustrium imagines and the Beginnings of Classical Archaeology is a study of the book recognized by contemporaries as the first attempt (1517) to publish artifacts from Classical Antiquity in the form of a chronology of portraits appearing on coins. By studying correspondences between the illustrated coins and genuine, ancient coins, Madigan parses Fulvio’s methodology, showing how he attempted to exploit coins as historical documents. Situated within humanist literary and historical studies of ancient Rome, his numismatic project required visual artists closely to study...

The Qur'ân's Self-Image: Writing and Authority in Islam's Scripture
ISBN: 9780691059501 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Islam is frequently characterized as a "religion of the book," and yet Muslims take an almost entirely oral approach to their scripture. Qur'an means "recitation" and refers to the actual words Muslims believe were revealed to Muhammad by God. Many recite the entire sacred text from memory, and it was some years after the Prophet's death that it was first put in book form. Physical books play no part in Islamic ritual. What does the Qur'an mean, then, when it so often calls itself kitab, a term usually taken both by Muslims and by Western scholars to mean "book"? To answer this...

Christian Inversion of Jewish Nationalist Monotheism, and its Modern Romantic-Narcissist Betrayal
ISBN: 9781527552647 / Twarda / 2023 / 611 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is a history of Western culture, divided into two parts. The first concerns the aggressive championing of monotheism by Jewish people as their distinctive national culture (although they only fell into or embraced it late in their development). Jesus offended by proposing an inversion of the divine protocols and an agenda more in harmony with international political realities: the one God proposed to use the Jews to reach (and transform) the entire human race, which was the actual object of His redemptive and creative energies.
With the Renaissance widening opportunities for... This is a history of Western culture, divided into two parts. The first concerns the aggressive championing of monotheism by Jewish people as their di...

The Passions of Christ in High-Medieval Thought: An Essay on Christological Development
ISBN: 9780195322743 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Since the earliest days of the Church, theologians have struggled to understand how humanity and divinity coexisted in the person of Christ. Proponents of the Arian heresy, which held that Jesus could not have been fully divine, found significant scriptural evidence of their position: Jesus wondered, questioned, feared, suffered, and prayed. The defenders of orthodoxy, such as Hilary of Poitiers, Ambrose of Milan, Jerome, and Augustine, showed considerable ingenuity in explaining how these biblical passages could be reconciled with Christ's divinity. Medieval theologians such as Peter...
