Book Description
"In this book, David Ray Griffin examines the evidence for the claim - made by everyone from former CIA agent Robert Baer to Oliver North - that bin Laden is surely no longer with us. He analyzes the purported messages from bin Laden and finds that, as many have suspected, they do not provide evidence of bin Laden's existence after 2001. This leads naturally to the question: if Osama bin Laden did indeed die in 2001, how and why have dozens of "messages from bin Laden" appeared since then?"--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
Christians claim that Jesus of Nazareth rose bodily from the grave, three days after being brutally executed. If that claim isn't true, Jesus was nothing more than a good man, and the whole of the Christian faith collapses in a pile of dust. But what if it is true? Daniel Clark shows how Jesus' resurrection is the key which unlocks answers to some of life's biggest questions: *Is there anybody out there? *Why is there so much suffering in the world? *Does life have a meaning or purpose?Using real-life stories of those who have come to believe in Jesus' resurrection, he explores the evidence so that we can make our own, informed conclusion. If Jesus is alive rather than dead, then another altogether more startling question emerges

Book Description
The image is an ontological paradox; it is made of dead matter, yet appears to be alive. For millennia, artists have created images of the living world - images that are static and yet possess the power to bring to life a frozen moment in time. While this tension has constituted a fundamental challenge for as long as theories on the nature of images have existed, recent scholarship has rekindled interest in the question of what images 'do to us'. Despite the rational discourse of Modernity, we must acknowledge that we view images as half-living entities. This book addresses the perpetual relevance of images' enigmatic life-likeness through studies that engage with a variety of visual material by asking the same question: what qualifies animation? Covering a wide range of image practices, such as early paleolithic stone engravings, medieval tomb sculpture, renaissance death masks and baroque painting to modern fashion, park design, early cinema and BioArt, the twelve chapters, written by scholars of art history and visual culture, demonstrate that the ontological paradox of the image is not limited to a specific historical period or certain types of images, but can be seen throughout the history of images across different cultures.
