Temporal Dreams

By: Lesley L. Smith

In Colorado in the near future, twenty-one-year-old former foster-kid Kairi Johnson's dream is to start a family of her own. So when her boyfriend proposes on spring break, she thinks she has it made--until she wakes up alone in the middle of nowhere. When she hitchhikes home she realizes she's trapped twenty years in her past. Kairi discovers she can time-travel and attempts to use her power to get back home. But time-travel isn't as simple as it first appears. Each successive time trip results in more and more people getting hurt: she loses her fiance and her best friend and discovers she's the reason for her parents' deaths. All seems lost until she meets a fascinating stranger, Kyle. In Sydney, Australia in the near future, twenty-five-year-old Kyle Barada is heir to his clan's Time-Travel business. When his dad dies under suspicious circumstances, Kyle becomes The Traveler and does his duty for their corporate clients. But when he vows to find out what really happened to his father, Kyle rebels against the regulations of his clan's Traveling legacy and discovers a mysterious relative's been working against him. When Kyle's replaced by this usurper, all seems lost until he tracks down clan member, Kairi. Can Kairi and Kyle time-travel together to save everyone they love?

The Glossa Ordinaria

The Making of a Medieval Bible Commentary

By: Lesley Smith

The Glossa Ordinaria on the Bible was the ubiquitous text of the Middle Ages. Compiled in twelfth-century France, this multi-volume work, containing the entire text of Scripture surrounded by a commentary drawn from patristic and medieval authors, is still extant in thousands of manuscripts, testifying to the centrality of the work for generations of medieval scholars. Although the Glossa has been the subject of modern study, it is surrounded by myth. This book, based on manuscript evidence, is the first to draw together the history of this monumental work, its authorship, content, layout, production and use. Raising new questions, and pointing the way to further research, it opens up the Glossa to all students of medieval religion and intellectual history.

Bodies, Commodities, and Biotechnologies

Death, Mourning, and Scientific Desire in the Realm of Human Organ Transfer

By: Lesley Alexandra Sharp

Bodies, Commodities, and Biotechnologies

Death, Mourning, and Scientific Desire in the Realm of Human Organ Transfer

By: Lesley Alexandra Sharp

The human body defines a lucrative site of reusable parts, ranging from whole organs to minuscule and even microscopic tissues. Although the medical practices that enable the transfer of parts from one body to another most certainly relieve suffering and extend lives, they have also irrevocably altered perceptions of the cultural values assigned to the body. In Bodies, Commodities, and Biotechnologies, Lesley A. Sharp probes the ideological assumptions underlying the transfer of body parts, the social significance of donors' deaths, and the medico-scientific desires surrounding complex forms of body repair. She also considers the experimental realm, in which nonhuman species and artificial devices present further opportunities for recovery and controversy. A compelling scientific investigation and social critique, Bodies, Commodities, and Biotechnologies explores the pervasive, and at times pernicious, practices shaping American biomedicine in the twenty-first century.

The Ten Commandments

Interpreting the Bible in the Medieval World

By: Lesley J. Smith

What did the ten commandments have to teach? Using the commentaries of a group of scholars from c. 1150-1350, such as Peter Lombard, Robert Grosseteste, and Bonaventure, along with confessors’ manuals, mystery plays and sermon material, this book investigates the place of the Decalogue in medieval thought. Beginning with the overarching themes of law and number, it moves to consider what sort of God is revealed in the commandments of the first stone tablet, and uncovers the structure that lay behind the precepts dealing with one’s neighbour. Interpreting the commandments allows us to look at issues of method and individuality in the medieval schools, and ask whether answers intended for the classroom could make an impression on the wider world.
