A Grand Imperial Heir

By: Ray Tabler

In A Grand Imperial Heir, the enthralling sequel to A Grand Imperial War, the universe teeters on the edge of chaos once more. Years after her pivotal role in restoring Farsalian sovereignty, Princess Melorah finds herself thrust into an unexpected role as the Matriarch of Farsalia. Reluctant to embrace the weight of power, she stumbles through her royal duties until a fateful revelation unravels in the Human interstellar empire. Human Emperor Stanislaus VII's empire is in turmoil after the ascension of Empress Jessica Holmstead and the birth of her son Jan. The sinister Count Holmstead, craving dominance, orchestrates a malevolent scheme with his conniving henchman Cagliostro. Baronet D'Artois, a cowardly old acquaintance, becomes entangled in the plan that aims to eliminate Stanislaus and young Jan from the equation. As Cagliostro's sinister plot unfolds, a desperate game of wits ensues. With the aid of the steadfast Imperial Marines, led by Major Iago Suarez, Empress Jessica must outwit Cagliostro and his pirates, relying on unlikely alliances and clandestine maneuvers. Amidst the stormy skies of MacPherson's World, where diamonds fall like rain, Jessica and Suarez's forbidden love simmers, while the fate of the empire hangs in the balance. In this heart-pounding tale of intrigue, passion, and loyalty, A Grand Imperial Heir showcases the resilience of a determined Empress, the courage of those sworn to protect her, and the enduring strength of love against the backdrop of interstellar conflict. As the pieces fall into place, the fate of worlds rests on a delicate balance, and the legacy of an imperial war echoes through the cosmos.

Chronicles of a Luchador

By: Ray Villareal

Jesse Baron, the son of the American Championship Wrestling star known as the Angel of Death, is about to graduate from high school. His parents expect him to attend the University of Texas and study mechanical engineering, something he’s not interested in. The young man knows he would be a natural at professional wrestling, and with his father’s help he might even reach the same level of fame and success. But the Angel of Death, retired from the ACW and running a wrestling promotion and school, refuses to train his son for fear he will choose sports entertainment over a college degree. Jesse decides that once he gets settled at UT, he's going to look for another place to wrestle. To keep his father from finding out, he’ll promote himself as a masked luchador from Oaxaca, Mexico, named Mascara de la Muerte. When no one will hire him, Jesse reluctantly considers joining a lucha libre organization, even though he doesn’t speak Spanish. Will the fans and his fellow wrestlers see him as a luchador—or just a gringo with a mask? In this stand-alone sequel to his acclaimed novels, My Father, the Angel of Death and Body Slammed!, Ray Villareal continues his exploration of a teenager growing into manhood against the backdrop of the wrestling world.

Theological Metaphysics

A Pentecostal Theology of Being

By: Ray C. Robles

Insofar as Christian theology aims to make truthful claims about the nature of reality, it is necessarily involved in the enterprise of metaphysics. Pentecostals, precisely as Christians, are thus obliged to participate. Through this study it becomes evident that pentecostals aim to participate in the metaphysical discipline in the same way they theologize - that is, informed by the norms, practices, and speech acts that constitute their spirituality. This book aims to construct a Christian metaphysics that is at once attuned to pentecostal spirituality/theology and informed by the classical tradition of Christian metaphysics. Ultimately, this work offers a constructive and critical engagement with pentecostal spirituality, and with pentecostal theology via the larger ecumenical, creedal, and dogmatic metaphysical tradition. Thus, this book is explicitly and intentionally limited to understand metaphysics in conversation with the historical Christian tradition, and to understand a pentecostal vision of it.

Climate Change

IPCC, Water Crisis, and Policy Riddles with Reference to India and Her Surroundings

By: Binayak Ray

Notwithstanding denials by climate-skeptics, the global scientific community considers the world environment is rapidly worsening. They argue that failure to adopt measures to reduce CO2 gas emission in the atmosphere could lead to disastrous social-economic, politico-security and environmental consequences. Skeptics argue that climate changes are due to nature's own cyclical phenomenon. They fail to understand that climatology as a scientific discipline is in its infancy, but overwhelming evidence suggests that human activities are responsible for this. Smart campaigning and some mistakes by the IPCC in its 2007 report enabled skeptics to derail the efforts to adopt a legally binding CO2 emission target in Copenhagen in 2009. Global political leadership collectively failed to rise above their narrow national interest in Copenhagen. Last moment efforts led to a resolution, but a resolution without vision or teeth. Given large socio-economic differences between countries, a legally binding CO2 reductionresolution is anathema to many countries. The leadership failed to understand that "one size prescription would not fit all," as internal political compulsions dominate countries' policy position on climate change issues. South Asia is politically complex. The political and economic rivalry between China and India impacts differently on policy cooperation issues in regional countries, but on climate change issues policy response require a regional approach, as impacts do not stop at political boundaries. Water sharing is critical for India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. India and Pakistan are virtually water scarce countries and most of Bangladesh's freshwater comes from outside the country. These countries have been using groundwater at an unsustainable rate, and in many parts it requires treatment. Collectively they house largest number of poverty stricken people on earth. Food production is declining; rising food prices are creating a huge fiscal burden. UN Millennium goals remain unachievable. Rising sea level is predicted to displace between 30 and 60 million people. Food, health, human rights, and settlement issues all become a part of climate change policy. These countries, without a collective effort and international support, cannot resolve such ca

The Free Market in Medical Care

Central Planning and Control Vs. Free Market Mechanisms in Medicine

By: Leo Ray Ingle

The most prominent theme of Take Back Our Health Care is the restoration of a genuine free market in medical carenot the market touted by corporations, but a market more akin to the traditional free market and to the systems of Greek and Medieval medical care. The amazing scientific and technological advances in medicine and the effect of those advances changed the role of physicians and increased the costs of care. Increased governmental and corporate control of medicine threatens us all. A genuinely free market is described, as well as the challenges facing those markets. Doctors are in the position of Aesculapius, who, in the cover graphic, represents medicine. His choice is between mercury (merchants) and the three graces (medicine, hygiene, and panacea). Aesculapius treated patients; merchants make deals with clients. The book focuses on the solution.

Latino Men Confront Their Manhood

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Muy Macho

Latino Men Confront Their Manhood

By: Ray Gonzalez

From the Homeboy to the Latin Lover, America cherishes a host of images about Latino men, yet all are based on the belief in macho men, virile and brash, full of violence and testosterone. With the gender correctness of the 90s challenging all men to embrace a new masculinity, how do Latino men of today--grounded in the "macho" tradition -- define this new identity? From today's best-known, as well as emerging, Latino writers, poet and editor Ray Gonzalez has gathered personal essays written especially for Muy Macho on machismo and masculinity. The result is a rich and exciting collection of men talking about themselves, about other men, about their wives and lovers, about their fathers and their sons. In "Me Macho, You Jane," Dagoberto Gilb contrasts how he perceives himself with how others, particularly women, interpret his behavior, while in "Whores," Luis Alberto Urrea chronicles a rite of passage for many Latino men. Most insightful and moving are essays like "The Puerto Rican Dummy and the Merciful Son" by poet Martin Espada, which portray the fragile love between fathers and sons and the process by which men learn from and teach each other how to be men. Muy Macho contains photographs of all contributors, while Gonzalez illuminates the cultural context of Latino masculinity in his introduction. Emotionally honest and powerfully written, the voices of Muy Macho break the "cult of silence" between Latino men which prevents our culture from understanding the true nature of machismo.
