P.I. Gideon "Bud" Lowry has been known to play Cole Porter tunes during his late-night piano gigs, but lately he's had reason to finger some melancholy melodies. Successful restaurateur Gabriella Wade is getting married. Years ago, Gideon and Gaby were more than just friends, before her true love -- her Blue Moon restaurant -- monopolized her time. But now her wheeler-dealer fiance, Roy Emerson, is refusing to take a simple medical test for a rare disease that may affect their children, and she wants Gideon to find out why. Meanwhile, developers want to tear down Gideon's Duval Street domain to build a strip mall -- a tasteless tourist trap complete with a bar tended by scantily clad waitresses. Gideon has no intentions of selling or moving, and after a suspicious fire nearly destroys his home he suspects that real estate magnate Fred Pacey -- one of the biggest nitwits in Key West -- may have resorted to arson. Fired up by his misfortunes and a strong desire to protect Gaby, Gideon begins an investigation into Roy Emerson's background that stretches from Key West to the Wild West -- Wyoming. And the results are explosive. Roy has been working with Fred Pacey on the Duval Street mall project. Worse yet, fatal accidents seem to follow Roy aro und, especially when his independently wealthy significant others carry large life insurance policies. To top it all off, before Gideon can amass enough evidence to open Gaby's love-blind eyes, she and Roy elope -- and disappear. With throngs of tourists descending upon Key West for the annual Halloween parade, Gideon is one native Conch who isn't masking his fears. During the season reserved for mayhem and madness, all he holds dear is in jeopardy -- and if he doesn't find Gaby soon, he'll be left standing alone at the Blue Moon forever.

John Leslie unfolds his view of the nature of the universe in this book - a view which is unusual yet rich in philosophical inspiration and suggestion. Over the last three decades he has been developing his theory in a series of publications, and with this title he brings it to its definitive conclusion.

A Philosophical Cosmology

Infinite Minds

Might we be parts of a divine mind? Could anything like anafterlife make sense? Starting with a Platonic answer to why theworld exists, Immortality Defended suggests we could well beimmortal in all of three separate ways. Tackles the fundamental questions posed by our very existence,among them, "why does the cosmos exist?", "is there a divine mindor God?", and "in what sense might we have afterlives?" Defends a belief in immortality, without the need for areligious affiliation or rejection of modern science Explores the ideas of "Einsteinian immortality", the divineafterlife, and the theory of an infinite and divine mind Draws from the work of a wide-range of philosophers, fromancient Greece to the present day, and incorporates up-to-datescientific findings Written in a thought-provoking and engaging manner, accessibleto anyone intrigued by the wonder of our being

Coins are a thumb print of given times in history. Coins are a small archaeological gallery of ancient civilizations as well as current ones. In this book, coins will be used to help document much of Jewish-Israeli history and its importance to God's plan for the peoples of the world.

Jewish History in the Bible Portrayed in Coins

God's Creation reflects both the beauty of his first impressions on it, as well as the corrupted characteristics after sin entered it. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth...and God saw that it was good (Genesis 1:1, 25), But then sin entered the earth and sin has impacted every level of the physical and spiritual dimensions that we presently live in. Romans 8:22 states that, "For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now." So we can see both beauty and corruption in the physical earth as well as the life forms. One day there will be a new heavens and earth as 2 Peter 3:13 has stated, " Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." KJV.

Are we in imminent danger of extinction? Yes, according to philosopher John Leslie, in a chilling account of the dangers facing the human race as we approach the second millennium. THE END OF THE WORLD is a sobering assessment of the many disasters that scientists have predicted or speculated as possibilities leading to apocalypse.
