Christopher Atamian celebrates the extraordinary cultural mosaic and landscape of Washington Heights in playful, nostalgic rhyme that honors familial love as much as urban romance, cutting to the core of queer desire. Drawing on influences as disparate as Nigoghos Sarafian and Patti Smith, Chris mesmerizes the reader with mythological figures and spiritual reverie, ultimately offering redemption for our troubled times-through his Armenian American and native New Yorker eyes. - Nancy Agabian, "Me as her again: True Stories of an Armenian Daughter", "Princess Freak"
In the majority of canonical lists, the Psalms and the book of Job sit next to one another, perhaps due to their size. They share a theme, lament, or complaint, though in the case of Job the intensity of Job's distress and the singularity of its causation--something we know but he does not--sets that book apart. Job's laments are relentless and are made more severe in the face of the assault of those who would purport to comfort him.The Psalms and Job also both bear witness to the theme of the majesty of God in creation. Psalms of creation appear across the five books of the Psalter and have been carefully distributed. The present study will examine the character of this psalm form and how the Psalter takes us on a journey in which God's majestic control of creation forms a major compass heading.The notion of a collection of "Wisdom Literature" created a different context for reading Job, one in which it occupied a medial position between Proverbs and Ecclesiastes and participated in a movement from traditional empirical wisdom to extreme skepticism about its utility and indeed about God himself. On this view, creation is out of sorts, and testifies to pointlessness and impenetrability. This book will plot a different course, seeking to hear afresh the response of God to Job by means of his created order. By situating the divine speeches in the context of what is said about God in creation in the Psalms, a new range of distinctive notes arises, making sense of Job's own impassioned confession that his eye has seen God, with this in turn leading to his magnificent restoration.
Our mighty all powerful God will avenge all your adversity and foes by His warfare and weaponry of redeeming love within and through you. His love will carry you up mountains of resistance, leading you onward to miraculous victories and encounters with Him. You will be brought to lands, like those of Joshua, territories destined in the presence of God to be won back for His people to live in freedom and the pure abandoned delight of the Almighty. No mountain is too hard to climb with the Lord by your side. He pushes you up from behind, encourages you from the side, and leads you forward with fervent strengthening love. Follow our Father's heart and be transformed, renewed and empowered by the courage He places in you, led forth and sustained by the Good Shepherd. Do not quit."Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay, ' says the Lord. On the contrary: 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.' Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:19-21 (NIV)
Bayesian Hierarchical Space-Time Models with Application to Significant Wave Height

This book provides an example of a thorough statistical treatment of ocean wave data in space and time. It demonstrates how the flexible framework of Bayesian hierarchical space-time models can be applied to oceanographic processes such as significant wave height in order to describe dependence structures and uncertainties in the data.This monograph is a research book and it is partly cross-disciplinary. The methodology itself is firmly rooted in the statistical research tradition, based on probability theory and stochastic processes. However, that methodology has been applied to a problem in the field of physical oceanography, analyzing data for significant wave height, which is of crucial importance to ocean engineering disciplines. Indeed, the statistical properties of significant wave height are important for the design, construction and operation of ships and other marine and coastal structures. Furthermore, the book addresses the question of whether climate change has an effect of the ocean wave climate, and if so what that effect might be. Thus, this book is an important contribution to the ongoing debate on climate change, its implications and how to adapt to a changing climate, with a particular focus on the maritime industries and the marine environment. This book should be of value to anyone with an interest in the statistical modelling of environmental processes, and in particular to those with an interest in the ocean wave climate. It is written on a level that should be understandable to everyone with a basic background in statistics or elementary mathematics, and an introduction to some basic concepts is provided in the appendices for the uninitiated reader. The intended readership includes students and professionals involved in statistics, oceanography, ocean engineering, environmental research, climate sciences and risk assessment. Moreover, the book’s findings are relevant for various stakeholders in the maritime industries such asdesign offices, classification societies, ship owners, yards and operators, flag states and intergovernmental agencies such as the IMO.

The red hightops that Kelly finds in her locker give her an extra boost of confidence on the basketball court, but soon she begins to wonder where they came from and if they are hexed. Reprint. AB.
A theoretical history of anthropomorphism and proportion in modern architecture, this volume brings into focus the discourse around proportion with current problems of post-humanism in architecture alongside the new possibilities made available through digital technologies. The book examines how the body and its ordering has served as a central site of architectural discourse in recent decades, especially in attempts to reformulate architecture’s relationship to humanism, modernism and technology. Challenging some concepts and categories of architectural history and situates current debates within a broader cultural and technological context, Hight makes complex ideas easily accessible.Extensively illustrated and written without academic jargon for an informed but non-specialized architectural audience, this book elucidates the often obscure debates of avant-garde architectural discourse and design, while demonstrating how these debates have affected everyday places and concepts of architecture. As a result, it will appeal to professional architects, academics and students, combining as it does an insightful introduction to the fundamental issues of architectural history and theory over the past fifty years with entirely new formulations of what that history is and means.

Imagine being abducted by aliens, taken to a distant world, and enslaved. Now, imagine how you would deal with this new life that's been thrust upon you, and how you would come to terms with your new reality. This is the story of a group of humans that has to not only face that reality, but overcome it.
Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this fully updated new edition of Designing Learning offers accessible guidance to help those new to teaching in higher education to design and develop a course.

Equity and Trusts in Sanskrit Jurisprudence
Christopher T. Fleming
Oxford University Press
2025
sidottu
This monograph outlines the core principles of equity and trusts in Sanskrit jurisprudence (Dharmasastra) and traces their application in the practical legal administration of religious and charitable endowments throughout Indian history. Dharmasastra describes phenomena that, in Anglo-American jurisprudence, are associated with courts of equity: the management of religious and charitable trusts; and the guardianship of those who lack legal capacity. Drawing on Sanskrit jurisprudential and philosophical texts, ancient inscriptions, Persian legal documents, colonial-era law reports, and contemporary case law, Equity and Trusts in Sanskrit Jurisprudence demonstrates that India's rulers have drawn on rich and venerable Sanskrit jurisprudential principles of equity and trusts in their efforts to regulate religious and charitable endowments. This book presents the history of India as a history of trusts, revealing how the contemporary law of Hindu religious endowments is subtended by a rich mélange of Sanskritic, Persianate, British, and constitutional jurisprudential principles.
