No American city was more important to the Nazis than Los Angeles, home to Hollywood, the greatest propaganda machine in the world. The Nazis plotted to kill the city's Jews and to sabotage the nation's military installations: plans existed for hanging 20 prominent Hollywood figures such as Al Jolson, Charlie Chaplin, and Samuel Goldwyn; for driving through Boyle Heights and machine-gunning as many Jews as possible; and for blowing up defense installations and seizing munitions from National Guard armories along the Pacific Coast.

At the center of The Dark Night of the Soul (La noche oscura del alma) is a poem written by the 16th century Spanish poet and mystic St John of the Cross. Consisting of eight stanzas, each of five lines, the poem outlines the journey in pursuit of divine union, within which the only source of light comes from the soul. This recording in English includes the poem itself and St John's two accompanying treatises (1584-1585), essentially commentaries, which offer line-by-line explanations of the poem. Many modern listeners have found guidance and consolation in this work.

The Dīghanikāya or Long Discourses of the Buddha is one of the four major collections of teachings from the early period of Buddhism. Its 34 suttas (in Sanskrit, sutras) demonstrate remarkable breadth in both content and style, forming a comprehensive collection. The Art of Listening gives an introduction to the Dīghanikāya and demonstrates the historical, cultural, and spiritual insights that emerge when we view the Buddhist suttas as oral literature.

AI is becoming ubiquitous. Whatever its arrival portends for our future, whether riches or ruin, it cannot be avoided. The Artifice of Intelligence explores two questions at the heart of a theological response to AI. Is it possible for human beings to have authentic relationships with an AI? How does the increasing presence of AI change the way humans relate to one another? In pursuing answers to these questions, Herzfeld explores what it means to be created in the image of God and to create AI in our own image.

Dedico questo audiolibro a tutti i bambini che non vengono ascoltati nei grembi materni e lasciati morire ancor prima di venire alla vita. La vita è un dono di Dio e fino a quando nascerà un bambino, vuol dire che il Signore non è ancora stanco dell'uomo, tutti abbiamo un compito e un dovere e solo sulla terra ci viene data l'opportunità di valutare tutti i nostri talenti, dal quale si impara a vivere e a sopra vivere in armonia col nostro prossimo, senza distinzioni di razze, popoli e religioni.

The Lucifer Priciple is a revolutionary work that explores the intricate relationships among genetics, human behavior, and culture to put forth the thesis that "evil" is a by-product of nature's strategies for creation and that it is woven into our most basic biological fabric. Though this argument is not a new one - it has been brought forth by such great historical figures as St. Paul, Thomas Hobbes, and Raymond Dart - Howard Bloom here takes fresh data from a variety of sources and shapes it into a lens through which listeners can reinterpret the human experience.

دراسة فلسفية وتاريخية للفكر الإسلامي تتناول منهج الإمام الشافعي في أصول الفقه وتطوره، خاصة كتابه "الرسالة" الذي يعتبره الكاتب مثالاً على نشأة التفكير الفلسفي في الإسلام عبر ضبط الفروع بقواعد كلية. يحلل عبد الرازق رؤية الشافعي التي سعت للتقريب بين المذهبين الفقهيين الرئيسيين (أهل الرأي وأهل الحديث) وتجاوز النقص في كل منهما، مما مهد للوحدة الإسلامية.

Death is a whisper in the Anglo-Saxon world. But on a remote island off the coast of Co. Mayo, it has a louder voice. Along with reports of incoming Atlantic storms, the local radio station runs a thrice daily roll call of ordinary deaths. The islanders go in great numbers, often with young children, to wake with their dead. They keep the corpse and the bereaved company through the long hours of the night. They dig the grave with their own hands. It is a communal triumph in overcoming the death of the individual.

Beginning with the seemingly simple question "what is human?" Fr. FitzGerald investigates the implications of modern science. Several lectures are devoted to stem cells. What are they, where do they come from, and how are they used? Does it matter if a stem cell comes from an embryo versus bone marrow, the placenta, or skin? Examine the promise and dangers of stem cell research. The world marveled at Dolly, the first cloned sheep, and now cloning is widespread. What is cloning, how is it done, and are humans being cloned now?

استكشاف للعلاقة بين العلم والدين، حيث يرى أن الخلاف ليس بين المنهجين نفسهما، بل بين رجال العلم ورجال الدين، ويسعى لتجاوز التعارض التقليدي بينهما. يجادل هيكل بأن العلم والدين متكاملان، فالعلوم التجريبية، رغم اتساعها، لا تزال عاجزة عن تقديم رؤية شاملة ونهائية، وهو ما يوفره الدين. الكتاب يتناول هذا الجدل منطلقًا من تباين المنهجيات المعتمدة لدى كل طرف، بين الحسية والتجريبية من جهة، والميتافيزيقية والغيبية من جهة أخرى.

This groundbreaking exposé of how artificial intelligence and gender ideology undermine our view of reality helps us cut through the chaos and find the hope we’re looking for. We hear that technology will set us free and that identity is whatever we choose. What we’re not being told is how these promises unravel reality itself, leaving us restless and confused in a world where we can no longer tell what is true. Christian thought leader Abdu Murray shows us how the ancient, yet timeless wisdom of Scripture anchors us to transcendent truth as we navigate today’s cultural tsunamis.

History teaches that antisemitism is a disease which begins with the Jews but does not end with them. Once antisemitism is unleashed, it knows no bounds and can attack the very fabric of society. This deadly strain of hatred often turns against other minority groups too, not to mention foundational democratic values, beginning with equal rights and equal protection before the law. Therefore, antisemitism should be viewed as a universal human rights issue of importance to all, and not solely as a parochial Jewish or Israeli concern.
