Download: $4.91 At the end of the Nineteenth Century, Herbert West, philosopher and social prophet, is catapulted into the future, thanks to a fellow scholar who has unlocked the secret of Time Travel. The world into which he emerges is one he has himself foretold: a post-Christian age, where Reason and Science guide Mankind’s progress and where supernatural belief is forbidden. In this future world West joins in the crusade against the last surviving remnants of supernatural belief. Until he realises that there is one more journey he must make: a journey to the origins of life on this planet, to the remote primitive jungles where man first lifted his head erect above the beasts. He goes back in Time to the dawn of Man, in search of Truth and an end to all doubt.
This is a novel of science fiction in the manner of C.S.Lewis’ Cosmic Trilogy, a blend of Wellsian science fiction (especially, of course, the Time Machine) with theological argument.

Adam, first father of humankind, facing death and unable to come to terms with the loss of Paradise, sets off across the desert to search for Horeb, the mountain where he last talked with God.

He is a former University of Wales scholarship recipient. He resides in Greece with his family and was converted to the Greek Orthodox Church in 2001.

Print: $11.17 Download: $4.66 Arguably the greatest songwriter of the post-war period, Bob Dylan has had a matchless impact on popular culture. His so-called “protest songs” became the anthems of the Civil Rights movement, and it was through his exploration of electric music that rock came to be taken seriously as art.
In his study Like a Rebel Wild, Jon P. Hooper casts a critical eye over more than forty years of Dylan songs and albums, from the 1962 debut Bob Dylan to 2006’s critically-lauded Modern Times. He considers the events in Dylan’s personal life that gave rise to each work, and especially the social and cultural contexts in which the music was made.
Jon P. Hooper teaches English at a private institute and has been a Dylan fan for almost twenty years.
