The Joy of the Journey : In His Appointed Way (9781947589070)

For those who enjoy a good chuckle, a God Challenge and thrilling ride, fasten your seat belts. Consider this an engraved invitation to join two Christ followers who obeyed His Great Commission to leave the comfortable church and enter into the uncomfortable, chaotic and challenging world of Southeast Asia. They became embedded in the Indonesian world, learning two new languages, and crossing imponderable cultural barriers with one purpose - that of sharing the good news of God's salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. The driving engine of this book speaks to the unspoken cries of the world, "Is there a God who sees my pain? Is there anyone of you who cares enough for my soul to tell me the truth about HIM? If so, why should anyone have the right to hear the Gospel twice until everyone has heard it once?" Product details Format ...

Chloroplasts (9783662217047)

Plant cells contain various types of plastid, the best known among which is the chloroplast. Apart from their predominant interest for the work on photo synthesis, however, chloroplasts have attracted considerable attention for other reasons. This pertains to extranuclear inheritance of cell organelles and, particularly important for this series, to the participation of chloroplasts as discrete and partly autonomous cell constituents in the developmental biochemistry of plants. This volume is composed of articles by investigators who are actively involved in work on various aspects of research on chloroplasts. Each author has independently covered and analyzed as comprehensively as possible the particular aspects assigned to him. This has the advantage of bringing out many different facets of the situation, though some overlapping has-to be taken into account. We are sure that this volume will enable the reader to gain a broad theoretical and experimental basis for the understanding of...

When (if ever) did the sun go down on the British Empire? When will Facebook contain more profiles of dead people than living?

National Poets, Cultural Saints: Canonization and Commemorative Cults of Writers in Europe (9789004335394)

In National Poets, Cultural Saints Marijan Dovic and Jon Karl Helgason explore the ways in which certain artists, writers, and poets in Europe have become major figures of cultural memory, emulating the symbolic role formerly played by state rulers and religious saints. The authors develop the concept of cultural sainthood in the context of nationalism as a form of invisible religion, identify major shifts in canonization practices from antiquity to the nationally-motivated commemoration of the nineteenth century, and explore the afterlives of two national poets, Slovenia's France Preseren and Iceland's Jonas Hallgrimsson. The book presents a useful analytical model of canonization for further studies on cultural sainthood and opens up fruitful perspectives for the understanding of national movements.

Enthymemes in the Letters of Paul (9780567030566)

This investigation looks at Paul's argumentation with special attention paid to enthymemes. Enthymemes can be defined as a three part deductive argumentation with an unstated assumption. Enthymemes constitute an important part of Paul's argumentation which until now has been relatively unexploited. Pauline studies continues today to grapple with the question of the core of Paul's thought and the investigation of the apostle's social world is gaining interest among scholars. This study of the manner in which Paul constructs enthymemes gives us insight into his thought world and would be a valuable text for scholars and librarians.

As we went we gathered up any of the scattered pack that we came across. After about half an hour's riding we struck the Umfuli River, and there we found McMahon, with three sections of his company, baying in front of the kraal shown on the opposite page and also on page 203. He had, with his usual go-a-headness, gone for it directly he came across it, and had got half way across the river, but then found the fire too hot, and wisely decided to wait for reinforcements. In getting back to the north bank of the river McMahon was hit in the foot, but, in spite of this, he remained with his company until I sent word that he must go to the ambul...

The Big Short : Inside the Doomsday Machine (9780393072235)

When the crash of the U. S. stock market became public knowledge in the fall of 2008, it was already old news. The real crash, the silent crash, had taken place over the previous year, in bizarre feeder markets where the sun doesn't shine, and the SEC doesn't dare, or bother, to tread: the bond and real estate derivative markets where geeks invent impenetrable securities to profit from the misery of lower- and middle-class Americans who can't pay their debts. The smart people who understood what was or might be happening were paralyzed by hope and fear; in any case, they weren't talking. The crucial question is this: Who understood the risk inherent in the assumption of ever-rising real estate prices, a risk compounded daily by the creation of those arcane, artificial securities loosely based on piles of doubtful mortgages? Michael Lewis turns the inquiry on its head to create a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting seq...
