First published in 1942, Reflections documents the life of John Henry Muirhead and the philosophical age that he observed. The first part of the volume derives from Muirhead’s own autobiographical narrative, left unfinished when he died in May 1940. The second part features two final chapters written by John W. Harvey that comprehensively record the final stages of Muirhead’s life. Harvey’s chapters incorporate Muirhead’s unfinished final years of commentary and begin at the man’s retirement from Birmingham Chair in 1921. As a student and teacher of philosophy, Muirhead’s life ran almost precisely parallel to what he himself refers to as ‘one of the most vivid and important movements in British and American philosophy’. He came into contact with some of the age’s primary thinkers and as such, his own autobiography is important in providing an insight into his contemporary philosophical environment.

Based on extant and emerging research, the book presents new evidence and innovative theoretical structures and concepts to explore how data analytics and AI can influence consumer thinking and behaviour.

In Acts, John D. Harvey and David Gentino tease out the multifaceted yet compatible purposes apparent in Acts: showing God the Holy Spirit in action as Jesus's disciples undertook the commission that he gave them; presenting Jesus as Messiah and the source of salvation for all people groups; addressing objections to and accusations against the Christian movement; validating the Gentile mission; and providing models for public proclamation and apologetical defense. Their preaching commentary explores contrasts and corollaries between the church in Acts and the church today, encouraging believers who have the same commission, same empowering Spirit, and same challenges of opposition to the faith and cultural boundaries as did the early church.

There's no such thing as magic. But that doesn't mean we can't use it. Jack Scatter knows that the mysterious force he wields has a technological source, and so does the man who's trying to kill him. But he'll need to tame dragons-both real and psychological-to harness that power to save himself and two worlds. Jack should be in high school, enjoying his junior year. Instead, an apocalyptic event interrupts his summer vacation and leaves Cirrus-the world-sized space station he lives on-without phones, internet, or transportation. Now, he's got a girlfriend who can see the future, an arch-enemy who can control people's thoughts, and a magic wand. Wormholes used to be as common in Jack's world as electrical outlets in ours, until Pieter Reynard discovered a way to destroy all the portal crystals on Earth and Cirrus at once. Now, Pieter has plans to rebuild those crystals and cast himself as the hero of the recovery. But Pieter's crystals have a dark facet, and he'll have unlimited power and control unless Jack and his friends stop him. To do that, Jack will have to explore "magic", create "spells", and overcome his own anxiety in order to use Pieter's talent for manipulation for a better purpose. BLUE SPELL is a YA adventure that blends Science-Fiction and Fantasy
