FIRST CAME CONVERGENCE. NOW COMES VENGEANCE. His very name means “purpose.” And for the being called Telos, only one purpose remains: revenge. Telos has sworn to slay Brainiac, the nearly omnipotent intellect who stole him away from his home and family, transforming him into a man-machine with the power to destroy entire universes. He still remembers his former existence, the time when he was the noble warrior known as Arak, Son of Thunder. And if he can’t bring back the life-and the people-he loved, he will end the life of the monster responsible. Exploding from the pages of the DC mega-event CONVERGENCE comes the shocking origin and stunning next chapter in the life of its most powerful villain! Writer Jeff King (CONVERGENCE) and artists Carlo Pagulayan (CONVERGENCE), Igor Vitorino (MORTAL KOMBAT X) and Stephen Segovia (EARTH 2: WORLD’S END) present TELOS-a space-opera epic of revenge and redemption! Collects TELOS #1-6.

Softcover edition of original The Seven Sacred Flames by Aurelia Louise Jones

Explore the rich family life of the people from the Lost Continent of Lemuria, who have been living Underground for the past 12,000 years; and who, due to their isolation from the surface population, have created a civilization of peace and abundance, with no sickness, aging or death.

Reginald Heade is renowned amongst vintage paperback fans and collectors as the pre- eminent British pulp fiction cover artist of the 1940s and 1950s. His beautifully-realised, erotically-charged depictions of a parade of sexy, scantily-clad young virgins and vixens - the so-called 'Heade women', for some of whom he is rumoured to have used local ladies-of-the-night as models - are near-legendary amongst lovers of classic pin-up art; and the original books on which they appeared are now highly-sought-after rarities - in some cases, only a handful of copies are known still to survive. In the lavishly-illustrated The Art of Reginald Heade, packed with hundreds of superb colour and black-and-white images, noted researcher Stephen James Walker presents the most comprehensive overview ever published of Heade's life and work. This encompasses not only all of his iconic paintings for the famous Hank Janson range, but also dozens of other outstanding pulp fiction covers, plus his less-well-known but equally exceptional work for adult hardback fiction dustjackets, children's books and periodicals, and even the pieces he produced at the end of his life under the alternative name Cy Webb. The Art of Reginald Heade is a glorious celebration of the artist's work, and an absolutely essential addition to the bookshelves of anyone with a taste for classic pin-up and book cover artwork. This deluxe special edition of the book is extensively revised and greatly expanded. With almost double the page-count of the standard edition, it features over 400 additional, ultra-rare Heade artwork images, and presents many others in larger size than before.

In Telos and Technos, Norman L. Roth breaks out of the strait-jacket of contemporary economic 'paradigms' with a clearly presented systematic remedy for our current economic theory that does not work in the real world of economic truths and consequences. For the first time, the static assumptions that have leeched so much of the credibility out of the dominant "neoclassical" models are put in their place. Truly dynamic concepts of technological time, change in consumer tastes and their measurable impact on the natural environment that must sustain us, are integrated into an interactive system of economic thought. This economic analysis and solution asks: "What are the causes of work?" How do they explain the official statistics of employment, unemployment, and labor participation? The assumption that full employment equilibrium is the natural state towards which an economy gravitates is jettisoned in favor of a far more realistic explanation of how a society really creates jobs. Serious limitations are revealed about our conceit that modern complex economics can be forced into "gyroscopic" stability by simply pressing the right buttons marked "interest rates" and "money-supply." Roth offers a vital and hopeful message to those who fear that modern economics has lost its way as a practical guide to modern society.
