By a lonely roadside in the south-west corner of Western Australia, old-timer Karl Mueller is roused from his drink-sodden sleep by approaching footsteps and the sound of whistling. What he sees on waking (or thinks he sees) is enough to make him stiffen with fear, and more than enough to worry the police into calling for Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte. The disturber of Mueller's rest is Marvin Rhudder--once an upstanding theological student, now a convicted rapist and basher, a bloody savage whose recapture will put all of Bony's sleuthing and tracking skills to the test.

This book peers into the depths of human behavior in order to answer a festering question of good and evil, truth and illusion: Why does humankind have such a fervor for victimizing animals?--victimizing them in slaughterhouses, in laboratories, on land and sea, for the satisfaction of appetites both holy and unholy? What we find once we gaze deeply enough, and earnestly enough, is something that Carl Jung called the shadow--a hidden crucible of behavior in which the angels and demons of our nature merge. Grave Pawns is a tour de force of interdisciplinary thinking, combining a wide variety of subject areas into a compelling theory of violence against animals.

Horizons of Cosmology (Templeton Science and Religion Series)
Exploring Worlds Seen and Unseen. Highly esteemed astrophysicist Joseph Silk explores the vast mysteries and speculations of the field of cosmology in a way that balances an accessible style for the general reader and enough technical detail for advanced students and professionals. Indeed, while the physical laws and origins of the universe can be endlessly complex, even Einstein once mused that they could be explained simply enough to be grasped by nonspecialists. To that end, Silk begins by introducing the basic story of the major discoveries in cosmology over the past century - wherin we learned that we live in an expanding universe populated with galaxies and stars.
