Book excerpt: The deliciously witty first novel from Lynsay Sands Lady Emmalene Eberhart wanted to do it. She’d even begged an audience with the King so that he would order her husband to do it— because she was determined to be a good wife. But then her husband died, and Emma remained a virgin. Now the innocent young beauty finds herself with an ample dowry and promised to Amaury de Aneford, a landless knight whose able sword helped defend the King’s crown. Surely her new husband would want to do the deed, for his rugged good looks certainly make Emma’s heart skip more than a beat. And Emma suspects there is more to a wedding night than just a sound sleep . . . and more to true love than she ever imagined.

Download or read book The Deed is Everything written by Aaron Ridley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nietzsche is often held to be an extreme sceptic about human agency, keen to debunk it along every dimension. He dismisses the ideas of freedom, autonomy and morality, we are told, and even the very existence of agents or selves. This book sets out the opposite view. Ridley argues that Nietzsche is committed to an 'expressivist' conception of agency, a conception that allows him to develop highly distinctive accounts not only of freedom, autonomy and morality, but also of selfhood. In the course of the argument, the text revisits a variety of central Nietzschean themes including self-creation, the sovereign individual, will to power, Kantian and Christian morality, and amor fati often to unexpected effect. The Nietzsche who emerges from this book has a clear, if demanding, conception of human agency and a robust commitment to the value of human excellence in all of its forms. This comprehensive study of Nietzsche and the expressivist conception of agency is important reading for all Nietzsche scholars and philosophers of action, but is also of more general interest to academics and students in philosophy.

Download or read book The Pathway to a Digital Deed written by Charles Moore and published by charles moore. This book was released on with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of making a deal with a handshake—what we generally call an incomplete contract—makes most of us uncomfortable. While complete contracts are inevitably imperfect; electronic signatures represent legal trickery, which produces incomplete contracts. The legal system via electronic signatures has conjured up a set of unknowables, technical inept, and incomplete set of legal experimentation, which seeks to produce incomplete and legally reputable contracts and agreements. Signatures don’t work very well in a vacuum, and only have meaning when existing alongside something else, the faith we have in the meaning of signatures stems from the mechanisms involved in the use of paper. Electronic signatures are a question of understanding an unknowable technology. Bruce Schneier - a renowned cryptologist - once wrote that “electronic signature” probably is the greatest terminological mistake in the history of cryptology. THROUGHOUT HUMAN HISTORY A SEAL APPLIED TO A PIECE OF PAPER AND LATTER A WET SIGNATURE REMAINS THE GOLD STANDARD OF INTENT AND NON-REPUDIATION.

Download or read book Homosexuality in Islam written by Scott Siraj Al-Haqq Kugle and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homosexuality is anathema to Islam – or so the majority of both believers and non-believers suppose. Throughout the Muslim world, it is met with hostility, where state punishments range from hefty fines to the death penalty. Likewise, numerous scholars and commentators maintain that the Qur’an and Hadith rule unambiguously against same-sex relations. This pioneering study argues that there is far more nuance to the matter than most believe. In its narrative of Lot, the Qur’an could be interpreted as condemning lust rather homosexuality. While some Hadith are fiercely critical of homosexuality, some are far more equivocal. This is the first book length treatment to offer a detailed analysis of how Islamic scripture, jurisprudence, and Hadith, can not only accommodate a sexually sensitive Islam, but actively endorse it.

Download or read book The Dark Lord written by Thomas Harlan and published by Tor Books. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tom Harlan brings his Oath of Empire series to a shattering conclusion in The Dark Lord. In what would be the 7th Century AD in our history, the Roman Empire still stands, supported by the twin pillars of the Legions and Thaumaturges of Rome. The Emperor of the West, the Augustus Galen Atreus, came to the aid of the Emperor of the East, the Avtokrator Heraclius, in his war with the Sassanad Emperor of Persia. But despite early victories, that war has not gone well, and now Rome is hard-pressed. Constantinople has fallen before the dark sorceries of the Lord Dahak and his legions of the living and dead. Now the new Emperor of Persia marches on Egypt, and if he takes that ancient nation, Rome will be starved and defeated. But there is a faint glimmer of hope. The Emperor Galen's brother Maxian is a great sorcerer, perhaps the equal of Dahak, lord of the seven serpents. He is now firmly allied with his Imperial brother and Rome. And though they are caught tight in the Dark Lord's net of sorcery, Queen Zoe of Palmyra and Lord Mohammed have not relinquished their souls to evil. Powerful, complex, engrossing --Thomas Harlan's Oath of Empire series has taken fantasy readers by storm. The first three volumes, The Shadow of Ararat, The Gate of Fire, and The Storm of Heaven have been universally praised. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
