In a world where science is everything, humans rule the universe, and people no longer believe in magic. An earthling, Sam, who grew up believing that he is an orphan, dreams of finding true magic and the answer to life. His admission into Volgarth, a mysterious institution in the far-away planet of Tiron, brought hope into his life. He will meet new friends there; new territories and magical lore will be explored. But magic brings with it many mysteries and dangerous secrets. Strange secrets are associated with Sam and his past and it makes him special… but only if he can figure out what they are.

History and archaeology tell us that when our far ancestors began to settle in localized groups, they codified their lives and experiences, and formed a collective for mutual support. This proto-civilization would have arisen from each individual's questions about the world, and their attempt to understand themselves and their place in the world. These groups, or tribes, evolved rules of conduct to facilitate communal living, and made a calendar for the group's celebration of harvests, and other events upon which the group was utterly dependent. This process of social evolution is the origin of religion, and of a magical way of looking at Nature. Eventually, this developing worldview was also the origin of science, which is our investigation of Nature to understand something of what is happening around us, and to use this knowledge to ensure our survival in a violent, indifferent Universe. After all, science and religion seek to answer the same question: Why and how is the natural world the way it is? This book seeks to show how science evolved from religion and magic, in response to a need to understand Nature.

Icons provide depictions of God or encounters with the divine that enable reflection and prayer. 'In the Beginning is the Icon' explores the value of these images for a theology of liberation. Iconology, art theory, philosophical aesthetics, art history and anthropology are integrated with rigorous theological reflection to argue that the creation and observation of pictures can have a liberating effect on humanity. In presenting art from across the world, 'In the Beginning is the Icon' reflects the ethnocentricity of both art and religious studies and offers a new cross-cultural approach to the theology of art.

David Levy has held a lifelong passion for comets, and is one of the most successful comet discoverers in history. In this book he describes the observing techniques that have been developed over the years--from visual observations and searching, to photography, through to electronic charge-coupled devices (CCDs). He combines the history of comet hunting with the latest techniques, showing how our understanding of comets has evolved over time. This practical handbook is suitable for amateur astronomers, from those who are casually interested in comets and how to observe them, to those who want to begin and expand an observing program of their own. Drawing widely from his own extensive experience, Levy describes how enthusiastic amateurs can observe comets and try to make new discoveries themselves. David H. Levy is one of the word's foremost amateur astronomers. He has discovered seventeen comets, seven using a telescope in his own backyard, and had a minor planet, Asteroid 3673 Levy named in his honor. He is best known as the co-discoverer of the famous 1994 Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet. Levy is frequently interviewed in the media and succeeded Carl Sagan as science columnist for Parade magazine. He has written and contributed to a number of books, most recently David Levy's Guide to the Night Sky (Cambridge, 2001).

Since the emergence of religious studies and the social sciences as academic disciplines, the concept of "magic" has played a major role in defining religion and in mediating the relation of religion to science. Across these disciplines, magic has regularly been configured as a definitively non-modern phenomenon, juxtaposed to distinctly modern models of religion and science. Yet this notion of magic has remained stubbornly amorphous. In Making Magic, Randall Styers seeks to account for the extraordinary vitality of scholarly discourse purporting to define and explain magic despite its failure to do just that. He argues that this persistence can best be explained in light of the Western drive to establish and secure distinctive norms for modern identity, norms based on narrow forms of instrumental rationality, industrious labor, rigidly defined sexual roles, and the containment of wayward forms of desire. Magic has served to designate a form of alterity or deviance against which dominant Western notions of appropriate religious piety, legitimate scientific rationality, and orderly social relations are brought into relief. Scholars have found magic an invaluable tool in their efforts to define the appropriate boundaries of religion and science. On a broader level, says Styers, magical thinking has served as an important foil for modernity itself. Debates over the nature of magic have offered a particularly rich site at which scholars have worked to define and to contest the nature of modernity and norms for life in the modern world.

From the introductory: "A Word to You" You ought to experiment! For to experiment is to clear the cobwebs from your brain and to let the light of a new world into your mind. By this I mean that you can learn many wonderful and fascinating secrets of nature in a most charming way and at very little expense. In this book I have tried to write easy directions and draw clear pictures which tell and show you how to make a lot of simple devices and perform a large number of experiments; if you will do both you will not only add to your stock of knowing the how and the why of things scientific, but you will be highly entertained with your efforts in natural magic, as it is called. A good way to begin is to read about the first experiment carefully, then make and set up the apparatus, and don't give up until you have worked out the effect to a successful conclusion. All the time you are doing this you must think about what causes each action; by so doing you will be nearly sure to discover some hidden truth or strange fact, and this is what makes natural magic, that is the magic of science, such a delightful pastime. But experimenting in physics, as this branch of science is called, is much more than a mere pastime, for you will remember and profit by all that you do and learn as long as you live. As an illustration, suppose you saw an aeroplane winging its way through the empyrean blue above you; if, now, you know what air is and how it behaves, as described in Chapter VI, you will have a pretty good idea of how it flies. Again, if you are interested in finding out how a device or a machine of any kind works, it will be an easy and simple matter, because you know how matter and force, sound and heat, light, magnetism and electricity act. And, finally, if you like adventure, you don't need to go "somewhere in France," to the jungles of Africa, or north of 53 in search of it. No indeed. All you have to do is to start a series of experiments like those described in this book and you will be surprised to find where it will lead you even as it surprised the author."
