    The Vigilante Thriller (eBook, PDF)
    This is a detailed examination of vigilantism in 1970s American film, from its humble niche beginnings as a response to relaxing censorship laws to its growth into a unique subgenre of its own. Cary Edwards explores the contextual factors leading to this new cycle of films ranging from Joe (1970) and The French Connection (1971) to Dirty Harry (1971) and Taxi Driver (1976), all of which have been challenged by contemporary critics for their gratuitous, copycat-inspiring violence. Yet close analysis of these films reveals a recurring focus on the emerging moral panic of the 1970s, a problematisation of Law and Order's role in contemporary society, and an increasing awareness of the impossibility of American myths of identity.

    Summa Theologica, Volume 3: Part II of Part II (Secunda Secundae) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 4262min
    Secunda Secundae is the longest part in this immense undertaking by Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274). His purpose was nothing less than to survey the theological teachings of the Catholic Church, while absorbing, controversially for his time, many other strands of learning and philosophy, varying from ancient Greek (particularly Aristotle) to Muslim writers (Averroes and Avicenna) and the Sephardic Jewish philosopher Moses Maimonides. Secunda Secundae follows the established pattern of presenting topics in terms of Questions divided into Articles which are further divided into clearly considered lines of debate. There are 189 Questions which are grouped into four ‘Treatises’ - focussed areas for discussion: Treatise on the Theological Virtues (Questions 1-46), Treatise on the Cardinal Virtues (Questions 47-70), Treatise on Fortitude and Temperance, (Questions 123-170), Treatise on Gratuitous Graces (Questions 171-182), and the final short section, Treatise on the States of Life (Questions 183-189). Part II of the Summa Theologica is broadly concerned with ethics, and in this Part II of Part II, Aquinas turns his enquiry towards virtues. It opens with the enquiry into faith, considering the acts of faith, the cause, the effects, hope and their contraries: heresy, apostasy, blasphemy, despair and more. The four cardinal virtues are then examined, prudence and justice being followed by fortitude and temperance, often with the positive and negative states being juxtaposed: humility and pride; sobriety and drunkenness; fasting and gluttony. Prophecy, rapture, and ‘The Division of Life into the Active and the Contemplative’, are among the topics in Gratuitous Graces, ending with the consideration of man’s various duties and states in general and the state of perfection in general. As always, Aquinas supports his argument with a wealth of references - notably from St Augustine, of course, but also from a rich and varied list of sources.

    Felicity Fortnum Goes to the Opera , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 83min, (USK 18)
    The roaring 20s are the perfect time to be tall, slim, and wealthy. Felicity Fortnum is all three, but unfortunately in addition to being well-heeled she is also decidedly well-bosomed, which makes her stand out in London society, quite literally. But she's not going to let her soccer-ball-sized appendages spoil her fun. In fact, with the help of the dependable and resourceful family valet Jennings, she's going to do everything she can to make big bosoms fashionable again! In this first story, Felicity's boobies acquire new nicknames, Jennings lends a hand (or two) at bathtime, and a plot to thwart a Wagnerian operatic production by means of gratuitous topless nudity goes spectacularly awry.

    Asclepius Stone , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 94min
    In the middle of a dark winter night, Doc's shed is burned down by a curious meteor that cures disease, reverses aging, and elicits euphoria. But the silver lining also comes with a dark cloud, and circumstances arise that probe the nature of life, love, old age, and renewal. Cry a little, laugh a lot, but BEWARE: the stone's miraculous healing powers are fueled by a diet of at least 5,000 calories a day, and the story is rife with gratuitous gluttony, so keep a snack at hand. Asclepius Stone is quick listen full of twists and turns that resolve into an ending that produces far more questions than answers. Enjoy this humble offering by Scribeslair.com and Burning Willow Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Roger L. Jackson.
