      None(1 Copy): Fair EX-LIBRARY BOOK This book is acceptable which means it is a readable copy; good for the no nonsense person who wants to save some money and won't be offended by a worn condition. All pages are intact. The cover is intact (the dust cover may be missing). Pages can include considerable notes--in pen or highlighter--but the notes can not obscure the text. Pages might be wavy from humidity. Please don't buy as a gift, this is a personal reader copy.

      New: New. No dust jacket as issued. Tight binding with clean text. New. Edges od cover have slight wear. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 240 p. Audience: General/trade. A critical investigation of Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials Trilogy", and the insights it offers to today's world. A UK and American best-seller as well as the basis for a major film to be released in 2007, "His Dark Materials" trilogy is an unusual sort of young adult series: one that appeals to adults as much as (if not more than) to their children thanks to its richly imagined world, rigorously explored cosmology and unflinching confrontation of the modern answers to the Big Questions. The film promises to reignite a firestorm of controversy. Contributors with backgrounds in philosophy, theology, science fiction and children's literature help readers find their way through Pullman's trilogy, from the streets of Lyra's Oxford to Dr. Malone's lab in our own world, from the republic of Heaven to the harpy-ruled pit of Hell.

      About the Book

      ** COMPLETELY UNAUTHORIZED ** Contributors with backgrounds in philosophy, theology, science fiction, and children's literature bring their expertise to this critical investigation of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, and the insights it offers to today's world. The His Dark Materials trilogy is an unusual sort of young adult series: one that appeals to adults as much as to their children thanks to its richly imagined world, rigorously explored cosmology, and unflinching confrontation of the modern answers to life's big questions. Essays from a variety of critical disciplines do justice to the complexity and intrigue of this trilogy, exploring the answers to questions such as: " Is His Dark Materials a new antireligious myth, or a failed perversion of Christian truth? "and" How does the story of the Specters of Cittagazze challenge our modern-day scientific practices?"
