The Perspective of Love

The Perspective of Love

Natural Law in a New Mode

By: R. J. Snell

While many of the Reformers considered natural law unproblematic, many Protestants consider natural law a "Catholic thing," and not persuasive. Natural law, it is thought, competes with the Gospel, overlooks the centrality of Christ, posits a domain of pure nature, and overlooks the noetic effects of sin. This "Protestant Prejudice," however strong, overlooks developments in contemporary natural law quite capable and willing to incorporate the usual objections into natural law. While the natural law itself is universal and invariant, theories about the natural law vary widely. The Protestant Prejudice may respond to natural law understood from within the modes of common sense and classical metaphysics, but largely overlooks contemporary natural law beginning from the first-person account of subjectivity and practical reason. Consequently, the sophisticated thought of John Paul II, Martin Rhonheimer, Germain Grisez, and John Finnis is overlooked. Further, the work of Bernard Lonergan allows for a natural law admitting of noetic sin, eagerly incorporating grace, community, the limits of history, a real but limited autonomy, and the centrality of Christ in a natural law that is both graced and natural.

Close Encounters?

Science and Science Fiction

By: R.J Lambourne,M.J Shallis,M Shortland

Currently, science fiction in all its forms is enjoying enormous popular interest. There can be no doubt that science fiction books and films have great influence on the public view of science and scientists. Close Encounters? examines the historical development of science fiction as a genre in books and films, tracing its roots, examining its most common ideas, exploring its relationship to "real" science, and attempting to assess its cultural impact. Discussion focuses on major themes such as time travel, politics, religion, ecology, and disasters. The authors consider the science in science fiction, the images of scientists that science fiction conveys, and some of the political, religious, and social motifs prominent in science fiction. They also discuss pseudo-science and its growing influence on the public perception of science. This fascinating, thought-provoking study should be read by all those interested in how the nature of science and its role in our society is portrayed in science fiction.

The Mutual Interaction of Higher Plants Allelopathy

The Mutual Interaction of Higher Plants Allelopathy

By: R.J. Willis

“Die gegenseitige Beeinflussung der höherer Pflanzen – Allelopathie” by Gerhard Grümmer appeared in 1955. It was a remarkable and unique summary of a science, that had received little attention, but which was to captivate the attention of plant ecologists decades later. While Hans Molisch was credited for coining “allelopathy” (in German) in 1937, his monograph dealt primarily with the effects of ethylene. It was Gerhard Grümmer, a young academic at Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University, Greifswald, who marshalled the existing world literature on the chemical interactions of plants into the world's first coherent textbook on allelopathy. Grümmer, however, worked in East Germany, at a time when the “iron curtain” was descending, and his book on allelopathy remained little known outside Germany. In 1957, the book was translated into Russian, which helped advance subsequent allelopathic studies in the U.S.S.R. In the English-speaking world, the first comprehensive mono-graph on allelopathy is considered to be “Allelopathy” by E.L. Rice, published in 1974, and revised in 1984. While Molisch's heralded book has been both reprinted, and translated into English, Grümmer's meritorious volume has been sadly overlooked, and to this day still provides important insights into many allelopathic problems, in particular root excretions, pollen allelopathy, and chemical interactions in mistletoes. For these reasons, an English trans-lation of “Die gegenseitige Beeinflussung der höherer Pflanzen – Allelopathie” is long overdue, and it is hoped that its publication will assist ecologists in their research and consolidate Grümmer's position as a founding figure in the development of allelopathy as a science.

Thoughts on Leadership from a Higher Level

Leadership Lessons from the Bible

By: R. J. Stepansky

Where do business leaders turn for advice to improve their leadership skills? Many successful leaders like Dan Cathy, President and COO of Chick-fil-A turn to the Bible. Speaking at Trinity College in Illinois, “Cathy discussed how scripture dictates Chick-fil-A’s business plan.” Few people are fortunate to have experienced mentors guide them on a path to be successful leaders with principles that are consistent with their Christian values. This book presents time tested leadership guidance that has worked for hundreds of years, and is still relevant in today’s high tech, fast-paced world. It provides the root stock knowledge from which leadership skills can grow and flourish for both new and experienced leaders. The book links its lessons to scripture. It encourages us to apply the lessons both at home and at work.

Highest Law

By: R. J. Pineiro

An excellent read. It starts out strong, and then it gets better." --Larry Bond, New York Times Bestselling author of Red Phoenix It is said that the hardest battles for our veterans are fought within, but what would you do if you discovered that a widely-available PTSD medication designed to help our military heroes cope with the horrors of war had a very uncommon but quite violent side effect? Just how far would you go to expose the truth? "A must read for fans of Brad Thor and Vince Flynn!" --Ward Larsen, USA Today bestselling author of Assassin's Revenge. While on a routine mission in Kandahar Province, Southern Afghanistan, U.S. Navy SEAL Commander Law Pacheco witnessed what he thought was the use of biological weapons by American civilian contractors on Afghan noncombatants. The very next day, he and his team fell victim to the violence of a U.S. gunship unleashed accidentally on a mountainside where he was operating, shredding his back and tearing off his left leg. Although it takes him six months to learn to walk again, Law's worst wounds are not visible. Suffering from PTSD and survivor's guilt, but determined not become a veteran-suicide statistic, he tries to put the past behind him and move on with his life by joining the ranks of the U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service. There, along with feisty special agents Mia Patel and Beatriz Howard, Law investigates a mysterious mass shooting at a VA hospital by a decorated Navy veteran with no priors. But the investigation unknowingly takes him down a twisting path into his former life that challenges the official reports of what happened on that mountain while also threatening to expose a pharmaceutical conspiracy reaching the highest law of the land.

Living Rich

Living Rich

By: R. Richards

In his captivating autobiography, Living Rich, first-time author R. J. Richards testifies to his personal definition of wealth: the love of family and friends, abiding faith, a solid work ethic, self-initiative, and accountability. These traits, reflected in every aspect of his life, have enduring legacies in his children and grandchildren, and continue to resonate in his own everyday experience. Growing up in poverty in Waukesha Wisconsin, the author and those within his circle made the most of each moment, gleaning life lessons from such fundamental responsibilities as knowing right from wrong, treating one's fellow human beings respectfully, and striving to be the very best at each task at hand. Richards' self-made, homespun account epitomizes a life dedicated to old-fashioned American values, commitment to country and family. The author took his example from his mother, whose love and encouragement gave him the impetus to reach for his highest self, from his father, whose creativity and ingenuity literally edified the family home, from his siblings, with whom his closeness formed the building blocks of future growth, and from his teachers, who cultivated his natural abilities. Richards' commitment to leading his best life culminated when he met his beloved wife, Mary and, upon her passing, in subsequent relationships, which provide sustenance in his present life. Each page of the book demonstrates the authors' authentication of the philosophy that life begins now at any age. As readers journey through the triumphs and tragedies, joys and sorrows of an exemplary life, they learn, by the author's example, the true meaning of being rich.
