Marx, Mill, Hegel, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Emerson, Darwin, Freud and Weber brought to the nineteenth century new realms of thought, which still continue to wield substantial influence today. As a result, the study of history, science, psychology, philosophy, sociology and religion have never been the same.These heirs to rationalism began to explore the full range of human experience--which became a matter of philosophical and theological interest, and even authority. Romanticism flourished in the arts and literature as Idealism, Transcendentalism, Pragmatism and other movements developed. All had a profound effect on religion and how it was viewed.In this second of three volumes which survey the dynamic interplay of Christianity and Western thought from the earliest centuries through the twentieth century, Steve Wilkens and Alan Padgett tell the story of the monumental changes of the nineteenth century.
The performance of ground support as a scheme is essential to constrain failures occurring at the rock surfaces of deep or highly stressed excavations. This book covers laboratory and theoretical developments coupled with field experiments and observations with the implementation of the methodology at mines. It explains the energy dissipation capabilities of reinforcement and support systems leading to the design of complete ground support schemes that can maintain integrity following the dynamic ejection of a mass of rock from an excavation boundary. The key features of the book are as follows:It explores the mechanics, demand and capacity of ground support technologyIt covers the whole gamut of theories, laboratory and field test results and case studies related to ground support technologyIt includes a comprehensive database of mesh, rock bolts, cable bolts and shotcrete capacityIt examines ground support scheme testing and explanationIt discusses comprehensive case studies, including de-stress blastingThis book is aimed at professionals in mining engineering, including civil engineering, geological engineering and geotechnical engineering, and related advanced postgraduate studies.

Asking ""big questions"" is fundamental to our humanity. What is the meaning and purpose of life? What is truth? How do we know what we claim to know? What is justice? What happens after death? Veteran teachers Steve Wilkens and Alan Padgett guide readers to wrestle with twelve of the most foundational, philosophical questions facing humanity, and they reflect on these big questions with a lens rooted in faith. Christians, according to Wilkens and Padgett, should embrace their ability to probe these questions that have occupied some of the most brilliant minds in history. Instead of avoiding hard questions, a Christian approach to philosophy begins with the conviction that God invested humanity with a restless mind. From an early age, we are riddled with curiosity about the world, our place in it, and how the whole of it fits together. As Wilkens and Padgett show, questions about the inner world of our being are tied to the outer world that includes the entire created cosmos and God. Like all good gifts, the gift of questions comes with a challenge - of responsibility and hard thinking. We have a spiritual duty to pursue life's deepest queries with virtue, fairness, reason, and, above all, a sense of worship and gratitude. Introduction to Philosophy: Christianity and the Big Questions is a perfect primer for students of philosophy and anyone interested in a Christian perspective on the timeless and universal perplexities of human existence.

Introducing Christianity offers a window into the nature of Christian sacred time and space, to Jesus is as a historical and religious figure, the Jewish world in which he lived, the formation of the Scriptures, the birth of Christianity and its growth into several branches and sects.
This is the age of the film fan. It is now the privilege of fans to control the medium with social media, access to streaming content, the formation of communities with like-minded viewers, and even the ability to redefine what a "film" is.This book empowers film fans to take ownership of the motion picture experience and extract the greatest enlightenment and enjoyment. While other books take an academic look at film theory or contain endless lists and trivia, this four-volume set is written in easy-to-understand language with clearly defined examples.Volume One of The Film Fan Handbook explores film narrative - the underlying structure of the stories seen on the big screen. It begins by examining the distinction between narrative, story, and plot. It looks at the history of storytelling and myth, as well as the concept of the rota fortunae. It then goes on to use Aristotle's six dramatic elements as a framework to explore the structure of narratives. It looks at plots, plotlines, anagnorisis, peripeteia, inciting incidents, climaxes, MacGuffins, the use of a deus ex machina, film's three-act structure, and the inaccuracy of Freytag's pyramid. It covers sequels, prequels, spin-offs, extended movie universes, franchises, reboots, revivals, remakes, and serials. It examines dialogue, exposition, narration, and improvisation. It distinguishes themes from genres and motifs. It looks at the different types of heroes, anti-heroes, "buddy pictures," concept films, protagonists, antagonists, and contagonists. It distinguishes stereotypes from archetypes. It explores tone, rhythm, and melody. It distinguishes diegetic from non-diegetic sound. It considers the effects of editing, screen size, mise en sc ne, focus, presentation, opsis, design, and spectacle. Finally, it explains how film fans can leverage that information to better understand film, as well as engender discussions, at film festivals, clubs, or other gatherings. While this volume explores Film Narrative - the art of storytelling, Volume Two looks at Filmmaking - the process of manufacturing the experience, Volume Three is a survey of Film Culture - the social framework in which film is created and viewed, and finally, Volume Four examines Film Control - the business of film.

Mastication and Swallowing are functions common to most forms of animal life, yet there exists much uncertainty as to their biological basis, and a diversity of opinion on the treatment of disorders of the mastication and deglutitory appartus. During the last fifteen years ther ehas been a considerable increase in research into clinical aspects related to these two vital functions, and also into their underlying biological, and especially neurophysiological, mechanisms. This volume presents the edited proceedings of a symposium held in 1974 in Vancouver, British Columbia, attended by scientists from several countries who are actively involved in such research. In addition to a broad, up-to-date coverage of its subject, Mastication and Swallowing stresses conceptual aspects and suggests lines of future clinical and basic research.
The ability to communicate in print and person is essential to the life of a successful scientist. But since writing is often secondary in scientific education and teaching, there remains a significant need for guides that teach scientists how best to convey their research to general and professional audiences. "The Craft of Scientific Communication" will teach science students and scientists alike how to improve the clarity, cogency, and communicative power of their words and images. In this remarkable guide, Joseph E. Harmon and Alan G. Gross have combined their many years of experience in the art of science writing to analyze published examples of how the best scientists communicate. Organized topically with information on the structural elements and the style of scientific communications, each chapter draws on models of past successes and failures to show students and practitioners how best to negotiate the world of print, online publication, and oral presentation.

This book offers a unique perspective on the State of Israel based on classical liberalism, both on a historical and theoretical level. Specifically, it makes a classical liberal and libertarian analysis based upon homesteading and private property rights to defend the State of Israel. As such, this work explores the history of the Jewish State, both to provide a positive case for its right to exist, and to clarify the myths surrounding its origin and development. At the same time, it deals with other relevant related subjects, such as the complex situation between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs, the military campaigns against the Jewish State, the connection between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism, and Israel’s economic miracle. The thorough analysis presented in this work intends to show not only why the voices and movements against Israel are wrong (including the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, BDS), but more importantly, why Israel is an example of human flourishing and freedom that every advocate for liberty should celebrate. The Classical Liberal Case for Israel makes the practical and moral case for Israel. It is based on truths and facts that need to be repeated over and over. Block & Futerman understand that the only way to defeat a big lie is with a big truth. Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of the State of Israel, Jerusalem, Israel Classical Liberalism, often associated with the spread West from Northern Europe in creating free nations, is argued here as applying to Israel, with ancient roots in the principles of human freedom.
