Expanding Earth, Constant Mass

Expanding Earth, Constant Mass

David W Knight

Lulu.com

pokkari
In "Expanding Earth, Constant Mass," David Knight describes a previously unknown form of matter which is much more dense than our present-day earth, and presents a theory of earth's formation that explains, for the first time, how our planet could have started out much smaller and denser than it is today. This theory has profound implications not just for our own planet but for the nature of the cosmos.
The Oil Fraternity in Texas

The Oil Fraternity in Texas

Edward W. Constant II

TEXAS A M UNIVERSITY PRESS
2024
nidottu
Despite their self-proclaimed reputation as the "greatest gamblers" and the fiercest of free-enterprise capitalists, Edward W. Constant II argues that oilmen in Texas quickly evolved a closely-knit fraternity defined by an altruistic, cooperative moral economy. Yet what oilmen did, what they owned, how they used it, and how they thought about it was transmuted in practice and transformed in law by the emergence of an increasingly sophisticated and robust petroleum engineering science.Although savage in their criticism of and opposition to any form of "regulation" or government meddling, since the early 1930s the oil fraternity has thrived and prospered mightily in one of the most highly regulated businesses in the United States. But this regulation, by the Railroad Commission of Texas (itself part and parcel of the oil fraternity), was fraternal self-regulation: however fraught, it was both science-based and protective of the oil fraternity and its moral economy.This book explores the origin, character, and path-dependent coevolution of these seemingly paradoxical features and offers an alternative--moral economy--to orthodox, purely egoistic-incentive based accounts of economic behavior.

Talking to God

Talking to God

Why a theology of prayer? Because counterfeit prayer abounds, we need Scripture's guidance, writes Thomas Constable. Praying as God desires requires considering what God has revealed about it. As we give prayer our careful attention, we gain greater understanding of what he intends it to be. Constable details the different forms of communication God invites us to use. He identifies the counterfeits that pass for prayer, discusses the conditional nature of prayer, and explains why some prayers seem to go unanswered. I could not think of a single aspect of prayer that 'Talking to God' does not address. Thomas Constable lays out for the reader the plain message of the Bible: God has ordained that we should pray, for our own good, and for that of his kingdom. Duane Litfin, President, Wheaton College 'Talking to God' contains all you ever wanted to know about prayer. The author doesn't hesitate to deal with the challenging issues involved in attempting communication between sinful man and a sovereign, all-knowing God. Joseph Aldrich, former President, Multnomah College and Biblical Seminary Thomas L. Constable is Senior Professor of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary, where he has taught since 1966.
