This volume discusses the presidential foreign policies of the post–Cold War era, beginning with George H. W. Bush and ending with the first 17 months of Donald Trump’s presidency. During this period, the United States emerged from the Cold War as the world’s most powerful nation. Nevertheless, the presidents of this era faced a host of problems that tested their ability to successfully blend realism and idealism. Some were more successful than others.
The cross and empty tomb form the center of the Christian faith. The church celebrates these two events in what is traditionally referred to as the Lord's Supper. It is the custom in some Christian traditions to have a brief meditation related to the Lord's Supper immediately prior to participation. These may be given by the pastor or by a layperson who presides over the ceremony. This book is a series of meditations delivered prior to the celebration of the Lord's Supper. It is our hope that they will be useful for laypeople who perform this service. They may also be helpful as private meditations on the central events of the Christian faith.

The interdisciplinary field of cognitive science brings together elements of cognitive psychology, mathematics, perception, linguistics, and artificial intelligence. Given this breadth, textbooks have had difficulty providing balanced coverage-most resort to disjointed edited treatises that prove difficult to use. Cognitive Science provides a unified and comprehensive look at the field, from foundations to applications. Luger explores the logical and philosophical bases of cognitive science with multiple models of intelligence, including neural networks and connectionism. Practical programming examples are included along with an introduction to PROLOG.
The doctrine of eternal Sonship declares that the second person of the triune godhead has eternally existed as the Son. There was never a time when he was not the Son of God. At the incarnation he became a man; he did not become the Son. Those who deny this foundational truth teach that Jesus became the Son of God at some point in history. Some say that he became the Son at his baptism; others at his resurrection. Most, however, say that he became the Son at the incarnation. In this timely book the authors present with clarity the scriptural basis for the doctrine of the eternal Sonship of Christ, deal thoroughly with alternate views that deny this essential doctrine, and conclude with an explanation of why this truth is so vital to evangelical Christianity.

This book contains two early papers written by Ronald E. Day while he was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, during 1992-1993, which mark the beginnings of his deconstruction of the modern conception of information as the latest form of Western metaphysics. The themes in these two pieces run throughout his later works. The papers demonstrate the intersection of formalist poetics and information science, and the appearance of phenomenology and critical theory in information studies. The problematics that they analyze, that of the temporality of information systems and the phenomenological appearance and constitution as knowledge of natural entities, along with the intersection of politics and information studies, remain relevant today.Ronald E. Day is Professor of Information and Library Science at University of Indiana Bloomington. His research is in the philosophy, history, politics, and culture of information, documentation, knowledge, and communication in the 20th and into the 21st centuries in the U.S. and Western Europe and in the discipline of Library and Information Science. The approach he takes is that of Critical Information Studies/ Critical Informatics. In this approach I use rhetorical, conceptual, and historical analyses. Along with many articles and book chapters, he has written Indexing it All: The Subject in the Age of Documentation, Information, and Data (MIT Press, 2014) and The Modern Invention of Information: Discourse, History, and Power (Southern Illinois University Press, 2001). He co-translated into English and co-edited the mid-twentieth century French documentalist Suzanne Briet's book, What is Documentation? With Claire McInerney he co-edited the book Rethinking Knowledge Management: From Knowledge Objects to Knowledge Processes.
