To what extent can an animal constitute a ‘juridical species’? This highly original book considers how animals have been integral to law and to legal thinking. Going beyond the traditional approaches to animal rights and the question of whether non-human animals may be considered legal ‘subjects,’ this book follows two types of animal – bears and bees – and asks what existence these species have maintained in juridical thought. Uncovering surprising roles that the animals play in the imagination of and solution to jurisprudential problems, the book offers a counter-argument to the view that juridical thought reduces one’s appreciation for the singularity and independence of their lives. It shows, rather, that the animals exert a remarkable influence on the creative dimensions of law, offering a liveliness to it that is worthy of close attention. Contributing to new directions at the intersection of jurisprudence and human–animal studies, this book will appeal to those with interests in either of these areas.

Ryan Alexander has been left physically and mentally battered from contact with the species that spawned her Kind. Although her power has increased exponentially, she has little control over her new abilities. Worse, as memories of the origins of the Old Ones surface, her own memory begins to suffer. Those closest to Ryan watch her internal battle with growing unease as she herself wonders if she has become a threat to all that she loves. When she begins seeing creatures that no one else sees, she does not know if her guilt is manifesting as illusion, or if she is simply losing her mind. Dr. Susan Ryerson monitors her friend's increasing instability. She is not certain if Ryan has been sickened by blood contact with the parent species, or if this is simply the aftermath of Ryan's torture and captivity. But it was a blood mutation that created Ryan and her Kind, giving rise to the myth of the vampire, and now Susan wonders if a second transition is occurring, if in fact Ryan is undergoing a second Change. Which brings to her mind a most terrifying question...into what? Book #4 in the Blood Legacy series.

Bestselling author Christopher Golden brings his epic, innovative trilogy, the Veil, to an astonishing conclusion as the mythic realm of heroes and monsters becomes the site of humanity’s last—and greatest—showdown. In the world of the legendary, every myth and folktale is real. That is what Oliver Bascombe learned on the other side of the Veil, where humanity's legends have hidden away for centuries. But even legends have legends, and Oliver has learned of a prophecy that many believe he and his sister, Collette, have come to the Two Kingdoms to fulfill. Before they can discover the truth, the Bascombe siblings must help to stop an apocalyptic war that threatens to destroy the Two Kingdoms, unravel a conspiracy, and prevent a powerful sorcerer from severing the world of humans from the realm of the legendary forever. But first Oliver will have to plot an escape from an impregnable palace dungeon where he and his allies have been imprisoned . . . for regicide. As old heroes and friends ally themselves for one last battle, even older enemies stand arrayed against them. Is humanity ready to face its legends head-on? For Oliver Bascombe, the price may be dearer than even he could ever imagine. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Today there is a pervasive indifference to the question "What is the Christianity?" This is a serious situation because there are numerous false or only partly false or only partly true and partly false versions of Christianity in the world. This indifference is also an indication of one's indifference to the God. A person cannot be indifferent to the God Who holds his future in His hands and has power to determine his ultimate destiny, and about the true religion that God has revealed for mankind. The author of this book believes that neither the Roman Catholic Church nor the current Protestant Churches are the true church that represents the True Christianity although the Protestant denominations are truer to the Christianity of the New Testament than the Catholic Church. The renowned Catholic theologian Hans Kueng pointed out the deplorable problems of the catholic Church and called for the reform of the Church in his book The Roman Catholic Church(2001). The True religion of God must be preserved intact and this preservation is the greatest duty of the Christians and the church to God. According to prophets of God, "Justice and Mercy" and the pure preservation of the True religion of God are the two main concerns of God, and God laments the gullibility and blind submission of people to wicked religious leaders. The author of this book is a retired minister of the United Church of Canada and holds a Th. D. from the University of Toronto. In 2008 he published The Roman Catholic Church - A Critical Appraisal through the Xulon Press.
