nidottu
This commentary on the Biblical Book of Daniel answers crucial questions about the significance of his prophecy, and of the culture he lived among.Not content with simply interpreting the prophecy of Daniel, Robert Dick Wilson delves into the social, historical and cultural aspects of ancient Babylonia. The significance of Nebuchadnezzar II in the story of Daniel, how his dreams were interpreted to become some of the most significant aspects of Old Testament prophecy, is discussed.Other chapters focus on the Chaldeans and their society, the opposition that Babylon had to Israel - Daniel himself being a captive Hebrew man, taken from his homeland as a child - and the possibility that Nebuchadnezzar was mentally ill. The allusions to the events at the King's court in the Book of Daniel are examined in detail, with conclusions drawn to the most reasonable extent possible.

This informative casebook will serve geographers, regional scientists, applied spatial statisticians, and spatial scientists from across disciplines.
A House in the Sun describes a number of experiments in solar house heating in American architectural, engineering, political, economic, and corporate contexts from the beginning of World War II until the late 1950s. Houses were built across the Midwest, Northeast, and Southwestern United States, and also proposed for sites in India, South Africa, and Morocco. These experiments developed in parallel to transformations in the discussion of modern architecture, relying on new materials and design ideas for both energy efficiency and claims to cultural relevance. Architects were among the myriad cultural and scientific actors to see the solar house as an important designed element of the American future. These experiments also developed as part of a wider analysis of the globe as an interconnected geophysical system. Perceived resource limitations in the immediate postwar period led to new understandings of the relationship between energy, technology and economy. The solar house - both as a charged object in the milieu of suburban expansion, and as a means to raise the standard of living in developing economies - became an important site for social, technological, and design experimentation. This led to new forms of expertise in architecture and other professions. Daniel Barber argues that this mid-century interest in solar energy was one of the first episodes in which resource limitations were seen as an opportunity for design to attain new relevance for potential social and cultural transformations. Furthermore, the solar discussion established both an intellectual framework and a funding structure for the articulation of and response to global environmental concerns in subsequent decades. In presenting evidence of resource tensions at the beginning of the Cold War, the book offers a new perspective on the histories of architecture, technology, and environmentalism, one more fully entangled with the often competing dynamics of geopolitical and geophysical pressures.
A Brief, Liberal, Catholic Defense of Abortion
Daniel A. Dombrowski; Robert Deltete
University of Illinois Press
2006
nidottu
The Catholic Church has always opposed abortion, but--contrary to popular belief--not always for the same reasons. This tightly argued, historically grounded study sets out to demonstrate that a “pro-choice” stance, now held by a significant minority of Catholics, is as fully justified by Catholic thought as an antiabortion view. A Brief, Liberal, Catholic Defense of Abortion argues that the current Catholic antiabortion stance is justified neither by modern embryology nor by ancient church teachings. Combining up-to-date information on fetal development with a thorough grasp of the works of the church’s early thinkers (such as Sts. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas), Daniel A. Dombrowski and Robert Deltete expose crucial contradictions between the early and the modern Church’s views of abortion.
Vectors and tensors are among the most powerful problem-solving tools available, with applications ranging from mechanics and electromagnetics to general relativity. Understanding the nature and application of vectors and tensors is critically important to students of physics and engineering. Adopting the same approach used in his highly popular A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equations, Fleisch explains vectors and tensors in plain language. Written for undergraduate and beginning graduate students, the book provides a thorough grounding in vectors and vector calculus before transitioning through contra and covariant components to tensors and their applications. Matrices and their algebra are reviewed on the book's supporting website, which also features interactive solutions to every problem in the text where students can work through a series of hints or choose to see the entire solution at once. Audio podcasts give students the opportunity to hear important concepts in the book explained by the author.
In Jieng societies, being a girl has always meant serving family, culture, and tradition. Jieng women are frequently oppressed, denied rights to education, conditioned to fulfil household and care responsibilities, and made victims of male violence. But Jieng society is changing. In ancient tribes that are beginning to understand the important social value of women, what does it really mean to be born a girl?

DR DANIEL MAMER grew up in South Sudan in the 1950s amid the oppressive regime of the north in Khartoum. His subsequent education took him from bush and missionary schools all the way to post-graduate theses in universities in America and France. He gained a PhD at the University of Juba and went on to pursue an academic career until, in December 1994, he was forced to flee his homeland due to the overwhelming political oppression and human rights violations against him and many others from South Sudan. In the more than 20 years since then he has worked continuously as a consultant for many NGO, international and United Nations projects improving the livelihood of his fellow South Sudanese. He is happily married with five children and numerous grandchildren.
God in the Gallery – A Christian Embrace of Modern Art

Is contemporary art a friend or foe of Christianity? Art historian, critic, and curator Daniel Siedell, addresses this question and presents a framework for interpreting art from a Christian worldview in God in the Gallery: A Christian Embrace of Modern Art. As such, it is an excellent companion to Francis Schaeffer's classic Art and the Bible. Divided into three parts--"Theology," "History," and "Practice"--God in the Gallery demonstrates that art is in conversation with and not opposed to the Christian faith. In addition, this book is beautifully enhanced with images from such artists as Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Enrique Martínez Celaya, and others. Readers of this book will include professors, students, artists, and anyone interested in Christianity and culture.
By the author of Chicano Frankenstein, this is "Waiting for Godot" in a modern retelling with Borderlands immigration and ICE in the mix. Waiting for God nez has been workshopped in Los Angeles and New York, had a world premiere in Sacramento, California, and is being shopped to Los Angeles, Arizona, and New Mexico stages. Olivas's extraordinary reimagining of a classic play lays bare the destructive and brutalizing effects of the United States' anti-immigration policy on undocumented immigrants and their families. In Waiting for God nez, the forever-waiting characters of Estragon and Vladimir are embodied in Jes s and Isabel, two Mexican friends living in the States. Each night Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents kidnap Jes s and throw him into a cage intending to deport him. But the agents forget to lock the cage, so Jes s escapes and makes his way back to Isabel as they wait for the mysterious God nez in a city park. At one point Isabel looks upon her exhausted friend and laments, "What harm have you done to them? You are as much of this country as you are of M xico. But you are not home in either place. Ni de aqu , ni de all ." Waiting for God nez humanizes the plight undocumented people face in a country that both needs and disdains them. Through a darkly comic absurdist lens, it implores us to reconsider this country's policies in light of the fact that we are all human and deserve respect and dignity as we each try to make our way in a confusing and often indifferent world.
A Future for the Latino Church – Models for Multilingual, Multigenerational Hispanic Congregations
Daniel A. Rodriguez; Manuel Ortiz
Inter-Varsity Press,US
2011
nidottu
Many assume that Hispanic ministry in North America still necessarily focuses on Spanish-language congregations. But over 60 percent of all American Latinos were born in the United States and are now English dominant. Daniel Rodriguez argues that effective Latino ministry and church planting are now centered in second-generation, English-dominant leadership and congregations. Based on his observation of dozens of cutting-edge Latino churches across the country, Rodriguez reports on how innovative congregations are ministering creatively to the next generations of Latinos. In-depth case studies reveal how gifted leaders are reaching beyond their own demographics to have lasting impact on their wider communities. The future of the Latino church is multilingual, multigenerational and multiethnic. Those who "live in the hyphen" between Latino and American can become all things to all Latinos, sharing the gospel in ways that language is no barrier.
Tzeruf is a 4700 old meditation. The technique in the Bible is labeled as "calling in the name of the Lord." This meditation focuses on using the true name of God. It contains the Hebrew alphabet meanings and their mystical properties. The levels of the soul are discussed, as well as the creating of a vessel to receive the spiritual influx, how to prepare to be more spiritually and mentally receptive. This book describes in detail the instructions on how to perform vocal meditations and provides numerous meditation tables and Psalms specifically geared to produce higher states of consciousness. The sages of old have stated that these techniques can be dangerous. It has been known to go as far as making some of those who misuse the meditations to go insane.
