White evangelicals have struggled to understand or enter into modern conversations on race and racism, because their inherited and imagined world has not prepared them for this moment. American Southerners, in particular, carry additional obstacles to such conversations, because their regional identity is woven together with the values and histories of white evangelicalism. In Know Your Place, Justin Phillips examines the three community loyalties (white, southern, and evangelical) that shaped his racial imagination. Phillips examines how each community creates blind spots that overlap with the others, insulating the individual from alternative narratives, making it difficult to conceive of a world different than the dominant white evangelical world of the South. When their world is challenged or rejected outright, it can feel like nothing short of the end of the world. Blending together personal experiences with ethics and pastoral sensibilities, Phillips traces for white, southern evangelicals a line running from the past through the present, to help his beloved communities see how their loyalties--their stories, histories, and beliefs--have harmed their neighbors. In order to truly love, repair, and reconcile brokenness, you first have to know your place.

In an eye-opening exploration of the most powerful force that drives our species, Kinsey Institute Director Dr. Justin Garcia illuminates the mysteries of how we date, mate and navigate our love lives. "The best book on modern mating." - David M. Buss, author of The Evolution of Desire. Why do we love who we love? Why do we stay in unfulfilling relationships, and stray from rewarding ones? Is it ever a good idea to open a relationship? How has the digital age impacted courtship? And why do some long-time couples crash and burn while others stay madly in love? In The Intimate Animal, one of the world's leading experts on the science of love and sex answers these questions and more, taking readers on a journey through the lifecycle of a romantic relationship, from the thrill of first attraction to the devotion that lasts decades. Intimacy is core to the human condition, a key pillar of a loving relationship, and an evolutionary drive. In fact, Dr. Garcia reveals that the need for intimacy -even more than sex drive- is key to our species' survival and flourishing. But therein lies the challenge. We evolved for social monogamy but not for sexual monogamy, yet these impulses are often at odds. Understanding this tension is the key to aligning our romantic choices with our true desires. Whether you're seeking that special someone, recovering from heartbreak, or trying to keep the passion alive, The Intimate Animal is the essential, research-backed guide to forging deeper, more intimate connections in these disconnected times.

Why can two people use a drug and one person becomes addicted while the other does not? Determinants of Addiction: Neurobiological, Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sociocultural Factors unravels the complexities underlying addiction to understand how individual factors at the genetic, cellular, anatomical, cognitive–behavioral, and sociocultural level can influence susceptibility to substance use disorders. The first section reviews the neurobiological determinants of addiction and examines how drugs hijack the reward pathway and alter numerous neurotransmitter systems such as dopamine. The second section covers the behavioral–cognitive determinants of addiction such a conditioning, memory processes, and decision-making. The final section examines individual differences in addiction vulnerability, with a focus on personality factors, sociocultural factors, sex/gender, and stress. The book references commonly used drugs such as nicotine, ethanol (alcohol), opioids, and cocaine.

In the distant future, humanity has finally achieved Utopia. All people are now united in peace and equality... so long as they follow the rules of the Order, which governs every aspect of their lives. There is only one way the people of Utopia can escape the monotony: G4M3. Pronounced "GAME," G4M3 is a virtual reality simulation of a war-torn wasteland, in which players can lead the lives of passion and violence forbidden to them in the real world.Kyle Roswell, grandson of the man credited with the invention of G4M3, is one of those players. When he begins his alternate life in this vividly realistic battlefield landscape, he finds himself falling in love with one of its inhabitants: a virtual woman named Sofia Tyler, whose artificial intelligence seems to him more real and full of life than anyone he has ever met in Utopia. He soon becomes addicted, unable to force himself to stop playing G4M3. But G4M3, he discovers, hides a terrible secret...

Individual Latent Error Detection (I-LED)

Undetected human error in aircraft maintenance creates a latent error condition that can contribute to undesirable outcomes. Individual Latent Error Detection (I-LED) acts as an additional system safety control that helps an engineer recall past errors through environmental cues. This book addresses a gap in the human factors research and current safety strategies by exploring the nature and extent of I-LED and its benefit to safety resilience. The book will describe the I-LED concept using a systems perspective and propose practical interventions to be integrated within existing safety systems as an additional control to enhance resilience against human performance variability.Provides a new view of total safety based on enhanced resilience provided through the integration of I-LED interventions within existing safety systemsOffers an in-depth exploration of the phenomenon of spontaneous recall of past event, leading to error detection and recovery of latent error conditionsDiscusses the application of Human Factors methods to conduct real-world observations in maintenance environmentsDescribes the application of the systems view of human error to applied researchPresents cost versus benefit analysis of safety interventions targeting latent error conditions

A war Jacob may be more involved in than he realizes. With a storm on the horizon and THUNDER ON THE MOUNTAIN, this is only the beginning of Jacob, Benjer and Skye's adventures
One thing that is known across Christian denominations is that ministry is not always easy. But a different question that doesn't get asked often is this: What is ministry like from the perspective of a young person living in the 21st Century? Many young people are called to different facets of ministry, but don't know what to expect when they get there. At the same time, it's possible that many older people may not know what younger people in ministry have to face as they minister AND strive to live a balanced life in this generation. In his book, Justin R. White shares many nuggets of wisdom that he's gained along his journey as a younger person in ministry. This book initiates a conversation by employing a collective of perspectives and experiences of younger people who happen to be in ministry.
