Transatlantic Sensations

Transatlantic Sensations

John Cyril Barton; Kristin N. Huston; a Preface by David S. Reynolds

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2012
sidottu
Bringing together sensation writing and transatlantic studies, this collection makes a convincing case for the symbiotic relationship between literary works on both sides of the Atlantic. Transatlantic Sensations begins with the 'prehistories' of the genre, looking at the dialogue and debate generated by the publication of sentimental and gothic fiction by William Godwin, Susanna Rowson, and Charles Brockden Brown.Thus establishing a context for the treatment of works by Louisa May Alcott, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Dion Boucicault, Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens, George Lippard, Charles Reade, Harriet Beecher Stowe and George Thompson, the volumetakes up a wide range of sensational topics including sexuality, slavery, criminal punishment, literary piracy, mesmerism, and the metaphors of foreign literary invasion and diseased reading. Concluding essays offer a reassessment of the realist and domestic fiction of George Eliot, Charlotte Yonge, and Thomas Hardy in the context of transatlantic sensationalism, emphasizing the evolution of the genre throughout the century and mapping a new transatlantic lineage for this immensely popular literary form. The book's final essay examines an international kidnapping case that was a journalistic sensation at the turn of the twentieth century.

Essays on SIGMA: Simulation and Implementation of General Mathematical Activity

Essays on SIGMA: Simulation and Implementation of General Mathematical Activity

John S. N. Elvey

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2014
nidottu
These Essays embody a comprehensive scheme for the development of a database for research in all areas of Mathematics. The underlying mathematical computer processor proposed, called SIGMA, is seen as providing an interactive research environment. The application of arbitrary theorems to well-formed expressions constitutes the basic activity within this environment and the goal is to produce theorems which are formulated in maximally operational and constructive modes. This presents a huge challenge to mathematical ingenuity and technique and it is proposed that it is pursued internationally through a dedicated Institute. The Essays on SIGMA furnish a substantial foundation for this crucially important enterprise.

Politics Inc.

Politics Inc.

John Raidt; James N. Mattis

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2022
sidottu
The book examines the dynamics driving the country’s deeply troubled political culture and highlights reforms needed in the post-Trump era to strengthen US democracy. The author paints a clear and sobering portrait of a mercenary election industry and its support structure tailored to perpetuate and exploit America's social and political division. He shows how corrosive partisan animosity, dysfunctional political institutions, and even Trumpism are symptoms of a broken system dominated by a self-serving party duopoly. Having hacked the democratic process for its own ends, the cartel’s intrigues continue to undermine functional compromise and the virtues essential for self-governance. Without timely structural reform outlined in the narrative, Politics Inc., abetted by technological, social, and cultural factors, will continue to undermine the country from the far right and far left. The stakes could not be higher. At risk is the nation’s security and the future of democracy at home and around the globe.

The Deaconship

The Deaconship

C N Willborn; John G Lorimer

Independently Published
2019
pokkari
Classic work on the office of deacon in the Presbyterian church by John G. Lorimer, minister in the Free Church of Scotland in the mid-19th century. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of diaconal ministry from the nature and importance of the office, its divine authority, its history in the church, the biblical qualifications and duties of the deacon, and the practice of the diaconate in the Free Church of Scotland."In this wonderful treatise he traced out the history of the office in the early church, providing OT background, before examining the decline of the office, which plagued his beloved church in his days. One of the most fruitful aspects of the book has to do with his explanation of the reasons for the near extinction of the office in it biblical form. The rationale he offers for the demise of the office seem to revisit the church from time to time and so deserve our study so as to avoid such a travesty." - Rev. Dr. C. N. WillbornExcerpt: "Animated by the spirit of his office, and acting out the character which the counsels of the Word imply, a deacon] will not be haughty, or harsh, or suspicions, he will not be cold, and formal, and repulsive, discharging his work as if it were a burden; he will be frank and easy in his intercourse with the poor and take an interest in their avocations, their health, and welfare; kind, and tender, and sympathising, especially when in sickness; but withal firm, and not easily persuaded to what his judgment does not approve. He will also have a deep conviction of the insufficiency of all his efforts to benefit the poor of his charge without the blessing of God, and hence he will not fail to seek the blessing in the exercise of diligent and persevering prayer for the Holy Spirit."

Thrasher-Martignoni Debate: Was Peter the First Pope?

Thrasher-Martignoni Debate: Was Peter the First Pope?

John Martignoni; Thomas N. Thrasher

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2018
nidottu
Practically from the beginning of the church, there have been controversies (e.g., Acts 6 and Acts 15). At one time, most religious groups had representatives who participated in public debates defending their various viewpoints. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. Thousands of books have been published on the various issues dividing those who claim to be the followers of Jesus Christ, including numerous published debates. This book preserves the record of such a debate. The publisher recommends that the reader study this material by "searching the Scriptures" to determine whether these things presented by John Martignoni and Thomas N. Thrasher are so (Acts 17:11).

ALT 36: Queer Theory in Film & Fiction

ALT 36: Queer Theory in Film & Fiction

Ernest N Emenyonu; John C. Hawley

James Currey
2018
sidottu
ALT 36 turns a "queer eye" on Africa, offering provocative (re-)readings of texts to position formerly erased sexualities and contemporary sexual expression among Africans on the continent, and abroad. Debates on the future of the African continent and the role of gender identities in these visions are increasingly present in literary criticism forums as African writers become bolder in exploring the challenges they face and celebrating gender diversity in the writing of short stories, novels, poetry, plays and films. Controversies over the rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Intersex, Queer (LGBTIQ) communities in Africa, as elsewhere, continue inthe context of criminalization and/or intimidation of these groups. Residual colonial moralizing and contemporary western identity norms and politics vie with longstanding polyvalent indigenous sexual expression. In addition to traditional media, the new social media have gained importance, both as sources of information exchange and as sites of virtual construction of gender identities. As with many such contentious issues, the variety of responses to the"state of the question" is strikingly visible across the continent. In this issue of ALT, guest editor John Hawley has sampled the ongoing conversations, in both African writing and in the analysis of contemporary African cinema,to show how queer studies can break with old concepts and theories and point the way to new gender perspectives on literary and cinematic output. This volume also includes a non-themed section of Featured Articles anda Literary Supplement. Guest Editor: John C. Hawley is Professor in the Department of English, Santa Clara University Series Editor: Ernest N. Emenyonu is Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Michigan-Flint, USA.

Practising evidence-based medicine necessarily depends on the clinician having access to the best evidence available, but in a fast-moving field, keeping up to date with the latest developments is a challenging prospect. In this new volume, leading experts focus on the most important clinical issues associated with the management of Lipid Disorders, evaluating and interpreting the evidence available to provide the reader with a reliable summary of our current knowledge. Topics covered include therapeutic strategies for managing hereditary lipid disorders, including familial hypercholesterolaemia, both in adults and children, and familial combined hypercholesterolaemia. The authors also evaluate the evidence for a link between inflammatory disease and cardiovascular risk; the metabolic syndrome and the interconnections between dyslipidaemias and diabetes. They also look at therapeutic challenges such as the management of patients who are statin resistant, and the control of lipid levels in those suffering renal insufficiency. Tables highlight important data, evidence from trial results and expert reports, and each section concludes with a series of Key Points that present a summary of evidence-based recommendations for best practice, graded according to the quality of that evidence. The book provides the busy clinician with a unique analysis of the data supporting current therapies and will help the reader formulate effective strategies for treating their own patients.

pokkari
A physician celebrates the nursing profession, offering a paean of praise to his countless nurse colleagues, friends, and mentors over almost fifty years of learning, teaching, and practicing at four universities. John's opening words recall his earliest learning: "Two nurses-one very senior and one very junior-became my first teachers during my apprenticeship in the art and science of caring for those in need."From his compelling stories of encounters between patients, nurses, and himself, he draws these vital conclusions: * Nurses are an essential resource for every doctor to learn the art and science of healthcare* Through their every act of kindness, nurses make infinite contributions to our gift economy* Everyone should pray there'll be such nurses by our bedsides when our time of need comesDr. Laurie Gottlieb, Professor of Nursing at McGill University and author of Strengths-Based Nursing, says in her Foreword: "Dr. Graham-Pole is a gifted storyteller. Each story is vivid and specific in detail, evoking a reaction both visceral and cognitive. This book brims with wisdom and insights that guide, teach, inspire, and point the way to becoming the best one aspires to be. Dr. Graham-Pole has brought out of hiding this aspect of medicine's hidden curriculum by acknowledging the impact of nurses in shaping a doctor's identity and how they choose to practice their profession.
