The Angel came. The birth was foretold. The calling was accepted. The betrothal was mended. The prophecies were confirmed. The journey was travelled. The baby was born. We all know the story of Mary, right? A humble girl counted as righteous and tasked with one of the most significant journeys in history: to be the mother of the Son of God. But how much would her obedience really have cost? How shocking would the way in which Jesus came truly have been? And much pain would the rest of her road been marked by? When we take a deeper look into Mary's journey, we find it isn't just angels' songs and wisemen's gifts. Rather her calling was miraculous, her obedience remarkable and her road more relatable to our live's today than you may realize. Join us in taking a closer look at the life of Mary - you may be surprised as to what God reveals about your own life along the way Product Details: Gorgeous matte-finish colorful cover design 5 Weekly devotionals with additional daily questions, prompts, and guided prayer. Printed on high quality bright-white 60 pound (160 gsm) paper stock Perfectly sized at 6x9" to fit right in your purse or church bag Love illustrating your faith? This is perfect for bible journaling outside of your Bible BONUS -- Extra Notes and Prayer Request prompts in the back How to use this Study: Our look into Mary's story is spread across five weeks in an effort to discover truths and details we may have missed before, and to bring Scripture and time with the Lord into our daily routine. At the beginning of each week there will be a main devotional and a key text, of which the following five days of study will explore. Altogether, this makes six days of study, and one day of rest. All of our schedules are different, and each of your weeks may begin with a different "day one." For some, Sunday evening may set the tone for your Monday through Friday of devotions, and for others, Fridays could signal the start of your prime study time. Whatever your situation, find a rhythm that works for you and stick to it My prayer is that in five weeks from now, none of us are in the same place we were when we began. So be diligent, be faithful and open your heart to the potential work that God wants to do in your life.

Breaking the Glass Ceiling of Science

Breaking the Glass Ceiling of Science

Stella Butler; Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell CH DBE FRS

THE HISTORY PRESS LTD
2025
sidottu
In 1945, for the first time in history, women joined the ranks of the Royal Society, the UK’s premier scientific academy. Over the following decade, eleven women would break through its barriers to become Fellows of the Royal Society. Few of these women are well known, yet they all made extraordinary contributions to science, helping shape the post-war world. From Dame Honor Fell, whose research laid the foundations for IVF, to Dorothy Hodgkin, who worked out the structure of penicillin, these women battled prejudice and hardship but ultimately made cracks in the glass ceiling of science, paving the way for later generations of women to enjoy careers in areas traditionally dominated by men. Breaking the Glass Ceiling of Science pays tribute to these remarkable women and their achievements and asks why many have slipped from our memories, even though their legacies have endured.

Against the Odds

Against the Odds

John Gribbin & Mary Gribbin; Jocelyn Bell Burnell

ICON BOOKS
2026
pokkari
Even in the third decade of the twenty-first century, it is still harder for women to make a career in science than men. Two centuries ago, however, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, when science as we know it was just getting started, the situation was far worse. Then, the very notion of a female scientist would have been regarded as something of an oxymoron. From bestselling and award-winning science writers John and Mary Gribbin, Against the Odds highlights the achievements of women who overcame hurdles and achieved scientific success (although not always as much as they deserved) in spite of male prejudice, as society changed over about 150 years, from the middle of the nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth century. There is Eunice Newton Foote, who discovered the carbon dioxide greenhouse effect; Chien-Shiung Wu, who discovered the law which allows matter to exist in the Universe today; and Barbara McClintock, who discovered how genes turn on and off. With a foreword from astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell, this book is not only a cautionary tale about the stifling effects of prejudice against women in science, but a celebration of those who achieved success against the odds - and an inspiration for the next generation.

Modern San Rafael: 1940-2000

Modern San Rafael: 1940-2000

Marin History Museum (Author); Jocelyn Moss

Arcadia Publishing (SC)
2012
nidottu
Modern San Rafael: 1940-2000 begins where the first volume, Early San Rafael, left off. San Rafael changed dramatically in the years following World War II, and in the 1950s, the gentle hills with roaming cattle gave way to housing developments and shopping centers. Expansion of the city into Terra Linda, Marinwood, and Santa Venetia provided housing for all the new residents. The population soared, and to keep pace, new schools, new streets, and new ideas expanded the size and ambience of the town. The new Marin County Civic Center designed by Frank Lloyd Wright became an instant architectural icon. Not everything changed, and some of the old town remains today, adding to San Rafael's charm. The vibrant downtown, the attractive streets with Victorian homes, and the beautiful landscape close to San Francisco Bay have been preserved. San Rafael is a place where the healthy outdoor lifestyle meets a busy center of cultural activity, and the result is a great place to live.

Legal Professional Privilege in the Common Law World

Legal Professional Privilege in the Common Law World

Andrew Higgins; Jocelyn R W Plant; John Yap

Oxford University Press
2026
sidottu
Legal professional privilege (LPP) is the protection given to confidential communications between lawyers and their clients in connection with legal advice or litigation and related preparatory materials. Legal Professional Privilege in the Common Law World provides a comprehensive account of LPP-also known as attorney client privilege-in six major common law jurisdictions: England, Australia, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the United States. Adopting an avowedly comparative approach, the book reflects both the universal importance given to LPP and the extensive challenges faced by common law jurisdictions in developing and applying a privilege that can, at times, be seen to impede effective law enforcement and the administration of justice. Authors Andrew Higgins, Jocelyn Plant, and John Yap aim to provide judges, practitioners, and academics alike with the key case law from each jurisdiction, as well as a practical set of principles to assist them to navigate the surprisingly large number of areas where the law of privilege remains uncertain. Given these grey areas, the book also illustrates how interjurisdictional dialogue features prominently in recent developments in LPP. Developing from the first edition, Legal Professional Privilege for Corporations, this volume maintains a strong focus on corporate privilege, reflecting the sheer number of disputes involving corporate clients and control over the corporation's privilege material. At the same time, it engages fully with the law as it applies to all clients. Topics given particular attention in this second edition include: shareholder access to the company's privileged material; the scope and operation of waiver; the status of privileged material that has escaped the client's control; choice of law issues in the law of privilege; and the crime-fraud or iniquity exception. The second edition has been updated to add Singapore and Hong Kong as common law jurisdictions under analysis.

The Three Pillars of Radicalization

The Three Pillars of Radicalization

Arie W. Kruglanski; Jocelyn J. Bélanger; Rohan Gunaratna

Oxford University Press Inc
2019
sidottu
What fuels radicalization? Is deradicalization a possibility? The Three Pillars of Radicalization: Needs, Narratives, and Networks addresses these crucial questions by identifying the three major determinants of radicalization that progresses into violent extremism. The first determinant is the need: individuals' universal desire for personal significance. The second determinant is narrative, which guides members in their "quest for significance." The third determinant is the network, or membership in one's group that validates the collective narrative and dispenses rewards like respect and veneration to members who implement it. In this book, Arie W. Kruglanski, Jocelyn J. Bélanger, and Rohan Gunaratna present a new model of radicalization that takes into account factors that activate the individual's quest for significance. Synthesizing varied empirical evidence, this volume reinterprets prior theories of radicalization and examines major issues in deradicalization and recidivism, which will only become more relevant as communities continue to negotiate the threat of extremism.

Vera Rubin

Jacqueline Mitton; Simon Mitton; Jocelyn Bell Burnell

The Belknap Press
2021
sidottu
The first biography of a pioneering scientist who made significant contributions to our understanding of dark matter and championed the advancement of women in science. One of the great lingering mysteries of the universe is dark matter. Scientists are not sure what it is, but most believe it's out there, and in abundance. The astronomer who finally convinced many of them was Vera Rubin. When Rubin died in 2016, she was regarded as one of the most influential astronomers of her era. Her research on the rotation of spiral galaxies was groundbreaking, and her observations contributed significantly to the confirmation of dark matter, a most notable achievement. In Vera Rubin: A Life, prolific science writers Jacqueline Mitton and Simon Mitton provide a detailed, accessible overview of Rubin's work, showing how she leveraged immense curiosity, profound intelligence, and novel technologies to help transform our understanding of the cosmos. But Rubin's impact was not limited to her contributions to scientific knowledge. She also helped to transform scientific practice by promoting the careers of women researchers. Not content to be an inspiration, Rubin was a mentor and a champion. She advocated for hiring women faculty, inviting women speakers to major conferences, and honoring women with awards that were historically the exclusive province of men. Rubin's papers and correspondence yield vivid insights into her life and work, as she faced down gender discrimination and met the demands of family and research throughout a long and influential career. Deftly written, with both scientific experts and general readers in mind, Vera Rubin is a portrait of a woman with insatiable curiosity about the universe who never stopped asking questions and encouraging other women to do the same.

Gendered Situations, Gendered Selves

Gendered Situations, Gendered Selves

Judith A. Howard; Jocelyn A. Hollander

Altamira Pr
1996
pokkari
Social psychologists have often assumed that situations and behaviour are gender neutral, yet assumptions about gender have affected the questions they have posed as well as the answers they have provided. The authors of this volume explore the ways in which social psychology has simultaneously ignored and been deeply influenced by gender. They also consider the ways in which gender differences are not the same as sex differences.

West Indian Women at War

West Indian Women at War

Ben Bousquet; Colin Douglas; Jocelyn Barrow

Lawrence Wishart Ltd
1990
pokkari
This study documents the hitherto unrecorded contribution made by West Indian women in the British armed forces during the World War II and highlights the racism of government recruitment policies. Based on original research and interviews, the book charts the obstacles placed in the way of the recruitment of black women by a very reluctant War Office. The authors uncover much documentary evidence of British racism. But the women interviewed in this book emerge as doughty fighters, as capable of taking on the War Office as they were of joining the battle against Hitler.

Like its bestselling predecessor, Multilevel Modeling Using R, Third Edition provides the reader with a helpful guide to conducting multilevel data modeling using the R software environment.After reviewing standard linear models, the authors present the basics of multilevel models and explain how to fit these models using R. They then show how to employ multilevel modeling with longitudinal data and demonstrate the valuable graphical options in R. The book also describes models for categorical dependent variables in both single-level and multilevel data.The third edition of the book includes several new topics that were not present in the second edition. Specifically, a new chapter has been included, focussing on fitting multilevel latent variable modeling in the R environment. With R, it is possible to fit a variety of latent variable models in the multilevel context, including factor analysis, structural models, item response theory, and latent class models. The third edition also includes new sections in Chapter 11 describing two useful alternatives to standard multilevel models, fixed effects models and generalized estimating equations. These approaches are particularly useful with small samples and when the researcher is interested in modeling the correlation structure within higher-level units (e.g., schools). The third edition also includes a new section on mediation modeling in the multilevel context, in Chapter 11.This thoroughly updated revision gives the reader state-of-the-art tools to launch their own investigations in multilevel modeling and gain insight into their research.
