Just one season...it can change things. Even in the backwoods of south Alabama. It seemed the whole world was changing in 1969, but Joe Parker, widowed and 67, had little hope that his lonely life would ever be different. At least turkey season was about to start, and his grandson Connor was coming to visit soon. Connor was embittered by a tragedy he didn't understand. In the city, being 15 was harrowing enough. Spring Break promised a reprieve from the distress and some time with PawPaw. Strange how things can change. One Season is the story of transition in a family...with the help of a few wild turkeys. "One Season, reminded me of my own youth spent under the guiding hand of my father as we explored the outdoors together," said John N. Felsher, an outdoor writer, photographer and broadcaster. "My father didn't hunt turkeys, but we enjoyed many other shared outdoors adventures like Joe and Connor. Regardless of the sport, the relationship dynamics remain universal." "A poignant, nostalgic story of learning to hunt turkeys from a beloved grandfather," said Corky Pugh, executive director of the Hunting Heritage Foundation and former director of the Alabama Wildlife & Freshwater Fisheries Division. "Read it and become a teenager again, complete with holding hands with the girl of your dreams."

The research introduces a novel model for valuing credit default swap (CDS) contracts, emphasizing the influence of multiple credit risks from the buyer, seller, and reference entity. It highlights the significant impact of default dependency on asset pricing, identifying correlated default risk as a major concern in financial markets. Additionally, the findings reveal that fully collateralized CDS contracts do not equate to risk-free instruments, as full collateralization fails to completely mitigate counterparty risk within the CDS market.

Moral values are real—we don't just make them up. Beauty is in the world—it's not just in the eye of the beholder. You are free—what you do is not always determined by electrochemical processes in your brain. And the universe we live in is God's creation. These are radical claims. But they are widely rejected in contemporary philosophy because they are almost always considered in relative isolation from one another. This book shows that when they are considered in conjunction, they gain mutual support. And it shows this both clearly and concisely. But its systematic approach to philosophy also reveals that various philosophical positions currently widely accepted and defended can appear plausible and perhaps even compelling only when they are considered in relative isolation—as they, too, almost always are. When the issues on which these positions are taken are considered in conjunction, problems come into view and the alternative positions defended in this book emerge as superior. Toward a Philosophical Theory of Everything is a ground-breaking work that shows the importance of systematic thinking, while also defending positions, on central philosophical issues, that are widely rejected in contemporary philosophy.
