Not Safe, but Good (vol. 1): Short Stories Sharpened by Faith
In C.S. Lewis's classic The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Lucy asks if Aslan the lion is safe. It is quickly clarified that Aslan is not safe...but he is good. That concept serves as the foundation for this collection of short stories While written from a Christian worldview, our goal isn't comfort food for Christians or G-rated stories that offer simplistic lessons. Instead, we're serving up stories sharpened by faith. Stories that will engage, challenge, entertain, and stretch the reader. These stories aren't necessarily safe...but without question, they are good. From Homer Hickam, the best-selling author of Rocket Boys--which later became the movie October Sky--to editor and contributing best-selling author Bret Lott, this collection spans a talented community writing an eclectic blend of fiction. These stories will take you on a journey filled with lightheartedness, profundity, hilarity, tragedy...and ultimately hope. .

'With the Sharpened Axe of Reason': Approaches to Walter Benjamin
Walter Benjamin holds a unique fascination for students and scholars interested in the question of modernity The most original thinker of Weimar Germany, Benjamin has become something of a cultural icon and his works are often regarded with awe rather than critical scrutiny. This book offers surprising new insights from a number of perspectives -- sociology, history, women’s studies, literary and cultural studies -- and investigates unexplored areas of Benjamin scholarship to arrive at a critically balanced perception of his work. There are four main sections: · a critical re-evaluation of Benjamin’s concepts of history and modernity in light of postmodernist discourses; · a discussion of aspects of Benjamin’s literary scholarship; · a re-evaluation of Benjamin’s writings on media and performance theories; and · an investigation of Benjamin’s peculiar ‘utopianism’ which includes a critical consideration of sexual/gender politics. .

A Game with Sharpened Knives
This is a novel based on the life of Erwin Shrodinger, one of the giants of 20th-century scientific thought. Neil Belton concentrates on the time Shrodinger spent living in Ireland In 1938, Germany invaded Austria and Schrödinger was dismissed from his university post. The Prime Minister of Ireland at the time, Eamon de Valera, was a mathematician and invited Schrödinger to join the newly established Institute for Advanced Studies in Dublin. Schrödinger emigrated there with few possessions and little money. He remained for 17 years, often turning his attention to philosophical questions about physics and its relationship to other fields. Through this backdrop of historical fact Belton has fashioned a novel of immense power, brilliantly evoking the isolated Ireland of the Second World War as well as the character of a complicated genius..
