The release of Rangda threatens the future of humanity. But, what if, we could turn back time? The Divine Finalisation is the final book in The Divine Zetan Trilogy. It takes place straight after the events of The Divine Sedition. Hilda Muller witnesses Keila massacring the Terran Council leaders, when the Xeno horde attacks. Hilda Muller fights the Xenos and becomes one of few survivors from the attack on Rashidium City. Sensing the opportunity to seize power, Hilda leads the human army against the Xenos. The Terran troops force the alien invaders to retreat to the Divine Dimension. Meanwhile, Rangda influences Melchior Dorevitch to commit unspeakable atrocities against the Martian population. Inspired by Rangda, Melchior raises an army of human/Xeno mutants to help Rangda defeat her eternal enemies: the Zetans. On Eden, Metatron is grieving Keila and uses a surrogate mother to give birth to his and Keila’s daughter Sabina. Sabina turns out to be the messiah of the 29th century, as she has a special connection to the supreme deity, The True Maker. But is Sabina strong enough to face the monstrosity Rangda, whose powers are increasing every day?

Adventures of Perception
"Over the past twenty-five years, Scott MacDonald's kaleidoscopic explorations of independent cinema have become the most important chronicle of avant-garde and experimental film in the United States. In this collection of thematically related personal essays and conversations with filmmakers, he takes us on a fascinating journey into many under-explored territories of cinema. MacDonald illuminates topics including race and avant-garde film, the political implications of the nature film, the inventive single shot films of the late 1960s and early 1970s, why men use pornography and what they are looking at when they do, poetry and the poetic in avant-garde film, the widespread failure of film studies academicians to honor those who keep film exhibition alive, and other topics. Several of the interviews--those with Korean filmmaker Gina Kim, French nature filmmakers Claude Nuridsany and Marie Pérennou (Microcosmos), Canadian media artist Clive Holden, formalist/conceptualist David Gatten, and New York's Film Forum director Karen Cooper--are the first substantial conversations with these filmmakers available in English."--Publisher's description.

The Divine Sedition
Having gained control over Eden, Keila fakes her own death to fool the Terran Council officer assigned to detain her, Rear Admiral Bjorn Muller. After faking her death, Keila decides to use Eden as her base of operations using deception to turn the Terran Council members against each other. Keila faces overwhelming odds trying to take down the overpowered Terran Council that has been dominating the solar system and oppressed the majority of humanity for over 500 years. She does, however, have one trump on hand against these overwhelming odds: Her mysterious divine connection. Her spiritual relationship is leading her on the way, and with access to the late Abraham Goldstein’s divine detector machine, Keila can unveil secrets that will help her free humanity from the oppression of the few elite plutocrats dominating all of humankind. However, with her connection comes a price. Thus, are the Zetans, controlling Keila as a puppet, indeed better than the Terran Council oppressors she seeks to replace?
The Heirs of the Roman West
In this collection leading international authorities analyse the structures and economic functions of non-agrarian centres between ca. 500 and 1000 A.D. – their trade, their surrounding settlements, and the agricultural and cultural milieux. The thirty-one papers presented at an international conference held in Bad Homburg focus on recent archaeological discoveries in Central Europe (Vol.1), as well as onthose from southeastern Europe to Asia Minor (Vol. 2).
Rethinking Order
Stability is at the core of every discussion of order, organization or institutionalization. From an »inside« perspective, the stability of each order-constituting element is assumed. In contrast, in critical discourses instability (e.g. through ambiguity or non-control) is located at the outside of the social order as its negative. By treating this argumentative symmetrical structure as »idioms of stability and destabilization«, the articles try to rethink order: How can we describe structures from a perspective in which instability, non-control and irrationality are not contrary to ordering systems, but contribute to their stability? How might the notions of identity, knowledge and institutions in social and cultural studies be contested by this change of perspective?
