Ahki, a member of the Moundbuilder Hopewell Culture, struggles to survive in a world beset with natural and human dangers. Meteors and volcanoes have plunged his world into semi-darkness. It's July in the present day Ohio Valley and it's snowing. He is forced to leave his home in the Ohio and Scioto River basins. In this third and final book of this Hopewell trilogy we find Ahki and two companions heading south to find a warmer climate. It is the Sixth Century A.D. and natural catastrophes have plunged the Earth into a nuclear winter. In order to survive, the group is using the river systems of the Southeast to find their way to a settlement called Duhare on the coast.

The life and work of American director John G. Avildsen is thoroughly examined in this detailed filmography and critical study. Each of the most significant films made by the Oscar-winning Avildsen is given a separate chapter, including such critical successes as Joe and Save the Tiger, and box-office blockbusters Rocky and its sequels and the Karate Kid series. The authors' observations on these and other titles--some well known, others less familiar--are enhanced by extensive production notes, and by commentary from John G. Avildsen himself. Cinema historian Jean Bodon of Sam Houston State University provides a foreword.

This volume examines one of the most controversial stories in the BibleΓÇöthe akedah, or sacrifice of Isaac recounted in the 22nd chapter of Genesis. Today, more than three thousand years later, the story continues to evoke controversy. It has had an impact on Judaism, Christianity and IslamΓÇöeach clinging to different interpretations. Even among adherents of a common faith, interpretations of the passage differ to such extremes that it can be used to justify unthinkable behavior ranging from infanticide, mass murder, and suicide bombings. Abraham''s actions have generated a sacrificial rhetoric that continues to exert a powerful influence on modern society. The rhetoric of sacrifice was born when the first person used the story of akedah to inspire another to sacrifice willingly on their behalf. Since then, a multitude of religious leaders and religious imposters have used the rhetoric of sacrifice to do their bidding. The akedah has proven itself as a tool that placed in the wrong hands can be used to commit unthinkable acts.
