How is it that billions of human beings continue to believe that there are mysterious deities hovering over us concerned with what we say, what we eat, and how we behave, and apparently with the ability to create the entire universe from its beginning, but can't seem to find a cure for the common cold; never mind disease, disaster, and destruction on a global scale?Author Richard F. Wright offers the answer in the form of his analysis of the prophets who created lies of such enormous proportions that humankind can't seem to unravel itself from the myths, mysteries, and mindlessness.Wright wrote the book initially as a letter to his wife Patti, acknowledging that she had figured out for herself, quickly and accurately, that there are no such things as deities and that organized religion ruins everything. After an extended review of the literature on the topic, Wright confirmed for himself, what his wife already knew, that his feelings over the years were justified; that organized religion was utter nonsense and there are no such things as deities worthy of worship. His review of seven major prophets confirms there is a pattern to the fraud they perpetrate in the name of their deities.Wright cautions those who still believe in deities and can't imagine life without a church that this book is not for them. It's for those who know, or suspect, that atheism is more natural and accurate as a life stance than anything to be gained from any organized religion. The World's Seven Biggest Liars exposes the lies the prophets spread and how it is that humankind has been and continues to be their victims.

Instrumentation and control systems are highly reliant on data communications, so a working knowledge of the latest communications technologies and the essential protocols is essential for anyone designing, specifying or using instrumentation and control systems. This book is the only title on the market designed specifically for this audience. This is a comprehensive treatment of industrial data communication systems. Commencing with a thorough discussion of the popular RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 standards it then moves on to industrial protocols, industrial networks and the communication requirements for the 'smart' instrumentation which is becoming de rigeur in industry today. The book also provides a solid grounding in the various Fieldbus and DeviceNet standards on the market today. This book provides you with the knowledge to analyse, specify and debug data communications systems in the instrumentation and control environment.
There are many data communications titles covering design, installation, etc, but almost none that specifically focus on industrial networks, which are an essential part of the day-to-day work of industrial control systems engineers, and the main focus of an increasingly large group of network specialists. The focus of this book makes it uniquely relevant to control engineers and network designers working in this area. The industrial application of networking is explored in terms of design, installation and troubleshooting, building the skills required to identify, prevent and fix common industrial data communications problems - both at the design stage and in the maintenance phase. The focus of this book is 'outside the box'. The emphasis goes beyond typical communications issues and theory to provide the necessary toolkit of knowledge to solve industrial communications problems covering RS-232, RS-485, Modbus, Fieldbus, DeviceNet, Ethernet and TCP/IP. The idea of the book is that in reading it you should be able to walk onto your plant, or facility, and troubleshoot and fix communications problems as quickly as possible. This book is the only title that addresses the nuts-and-bolts issues involved in design, installation and troubleshooting that are the day-to-day concern of engineers and network specialists working in industry.

As they walked alongside Jesus outside the temple walls, the disciples gained a deeper understanding of how to share the message of the Kingdom. The book "Descent to Compassion" takes readers beyond the confines of Sunday morning services and evangelism projects and into the real world, where life happens, and a 30-minute sermon won't suffice. The author invites readers to join Jesus in His everyday work and walk alongside Him, where divine moments occur because God is always at work. We can see those hurting by opening our eyes, and Jesus is actively pursuing their hearts. We have a choice to join Him or walk away. By experiencing these moments of divine encounter, our lives receive fresh meaning, and we become more focused on others than ourselves. The Lord has prepared good works for us and is ready to guide us to discover where those works exist. "The Descent to Compassion" teaches us how to live a fulfilling and inspired life as we follow Christ into the sea of humanity. Just as Jesus touched the untouchables, He calls on us to descend into a place of humility and compassion to touch every hurting heart.
