Epiphany

He huffed and puffed as he forced her back across the room like a little steam engine, until she felt the couch behind her knees and had no choice but to fall back onto it. He was on her before she had time to recover herself; his beetroot face, glazed with perspiration, only inches from hers as he gripped both her wrists in one clammy hand and began tugging at her knickers with his free one. The last thing beautiful young Epiphany needs is to be plucked from the comfortable safety of her village to be sent to live in the faraway residence of a shadowy uncle. Phoney doctors, highwaymen, and even her uncle could be an infamous libertine with his own deviant designs. Indeed, his perverted servants may also have their eyes on her innocence. Even the nicer people she comes across may well be the types to entertain themselves at an unrestrained orgy, with pleasure devices and lesbian love. Unfortunately Epiphany is an innocent virgin, unaware of these potential perils and about to take those first tentative steps on her journey...

The Three Creeds

The Three Creeds

Edgar C S Gibson

Wipf Stock Publishers
2018
pokkari
""No one can read the New Testament with any care and attention without being struck by the prominence givin therein to faith or belief. Our Lord's ministry began with the call to ' repent and believe the Gospel.' Faith was the demand which He habitually made from those who sought His help; and as the reward of faith His mighty works were wrought."" -From Chapter I--Of Creeds in General: The Grounds on which the Requirement of Faith is Made Edgar Charles Sumner Gibson (1848-1924) was the thirty-first Bishop of Gloucester. He was born into a clerical family and educated at Charterhouse and Trinity College, Oxford. Ordained in 1872, his first post was as Chaplain at Wells Theological College, rising to Vice Principal in 1875. His next post was as principal of Leeds Clergy School and he later became Rural Dean of the area and Vicar of Leeds Parish Church.

The place which the Book of Job occupies in our English Bibles after the historical books and before the Psalms is that which it has always occupied in the Western Church, at least since the days of S. Jerome, in whose translation (the Vulgate) it is found in this position, in accordance with the arrangement of the books commonly (though not invariably) adopted in the Greek Bibles...

The Cactus Primer

The Cactus Primer

Arthur C Gibson; Park S Nobel

Harvard University Press
1986
sidottu
"The Cactus Primer" presents the amateur cactophile with an excellent introduction to cactus biology and provides the informed reader with an invaluable summary of the last forty years' research. This book goes far beyond books that instruct readers in the propagation, growth, and care of these plants; addressing matters of more scientific interest, it takes an integrated approach to the presentation of the form, physiology, evolution, and ecology of cacti. The book is unique in that it combines the descriptive morphology and physiology documented in the scientific literature with more general observations found in popular publications on cacti. It provides a new generic classification of the cacti and contains much new information, including data on photosynthesis, heat and cold tolerance, computer modeling of ribs, and the effects of spines. Enhanced by over 400 illustrations and supplemented with an extensive glossary, this book will appeal to cactus enthusiasts interested in the classification and growth of cacti, as well as to plant biologists who use cacti to illustrate desert adaptation and convergent evolution. Written in accessible style, "The Cactus Primer" is bound to serve a dual function as both an instructive tool and a reference work in cactus biology for years to come.

C.S. Lewis, Spinner of Tales

C.S. Lewis, Spinner of Tales

Evan K. Gibson

Wipf Stock Publishers
2009
nidottu
Gibson's scholarly but highly readable study, written for those who already enjoy Lewis's fiction, will enhance understanding and appreciation both of the stories themselves and of their literary and theological aspects. He examines Lewis's masterful story-telling techniques and conversational style, anyalyzes plot structure and point of view, and traces the development of main characters through the action and narrative. He also defines and discusses the important themes in Lewis's work -- the nature of divinity, the nature of evil, and the virtuous life. Throughout his study, Gibson sees Lewis as both poet and logician -- a poet for his ability to portray the delightful landscapes of his stories, and a logician for his carefully structured story-telling technique. He is, as Gibson clearly shows, a first-rate craftsman -- indeed, a spinner of tales.

The Samaritan's Dilemma

The Samaritan's Dilemma

Clark C. Gibson; Krister Andersson; The late Elinor Ostrom; Sujai Shivakumar

Oxford University Press
2005
sidottu
What's wrong with foreign aid? Many policymakers, aid practitioners, and scholars have called into question its ability to increase economic growth, alleviate poverty, or promote social development. At the macro level, only tenuous links between development aid and improved living conditions have been found. At the micro level, only a few programs outlast donor support and even fewer appear to achieve lasting improvements. The authors of this book argue that much of aid's failure is related to the institutions that structure its delivery. These institutions govern the complex relationships between the main actors in the aid delivery system and often generate a series of perverse incentives that promote inefficient and unsustainable outcomes. In their analysis, the authors apply the theoretical insights of the new institutional economics to several settings. First, they investigate the institutions of Sida, the Swedish aid agency, to analyze how that aid agency's institutions can produce incentives inimical to desired outcomes, contrary to the desires of its own staff. Second, the authors use cases from India, a country with low aid dependence, and Zambia, a country with high aid dependence, to explore how institutions on the ground in recipient countries also mediate the effectiveness of aid. Throughout the book, the authors offer suggestions about how to improve aid's effectiveness. These suggestions include how to structure evaluations in order to improve outcomes, how to employ agency staff to gain from their on-the-ground experience, and how to engage stakeholders as "owners" in the design, resource mobilization, learning, and evaluation processes of development assistance programs.

Who You Were Meant to Be: A Guide to Rediscovering Your Life's Purpose

Who You Were Meant to Be: A Guide to Rediscovering Your Life's Purpose

Lindsay C. Gibson Psy D.

Independently Published
2020
nidottu
This is the updated edition (2020) of the popular 2000 original, with more comfortable formatting and larger font. Finding one's purpose in life and fulfilling it is a desire we all share. Yet many of us are living the lives and dreams imposed upon us by our family, friends and society. Once we understand the fears, frustrations and loyalties that sabotage our dreams and best efforts at personal growth, we can free ourselves from doubt and defeat and find out what we really want to do with our lives. Who You Were Meant to Be explains how to use our inner guidance to find our most personal and energizing life purpose. Writing in a friendly, active style, psychologist Lindsay Gibson shows us how to get free of the misguided guilt and loyalty that confuse loving others with sacrificing oneself. We can undo self-defeating ideas and claim our right to happiness and autonomy in our life choices. Thanks to the author's clinical background, this book goes deep enough to address feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and the common fears that can bring self-actualization to a standstill. Dr. Gibson offers a unique blend of inspiration and pragmatic advice to people who have been reluctant to put themselves first in their own lives. Who You Were Meant to Be provides a practical road map out of old habits and shows how to forge a new path on which each of us can discover or recover our true purposes in life and become the people we want to be.

An Analysis of Hamid Dabashi's Theology of Discontent

An Analysis of Hamid Dabashi's Theology of Discontent

Magdalena C. Delgado; Bryan Gibson

Macat International Limited
2017
nidottu
Hamid Dabashi’s 1997 work Theology of Discontent reveals a creative thinker capable not only of understanding how an argument is built, but also of redefining old issues in new ways. The Iranian Revolution of 1978–9 was front-page news in the West, and in some ways remains so today. Though it was an uprising against authoritarian royal rule, with a coalition of modernisers and Islamists, the revolution saw the birth of a new Islamic Republic that seemed to reject pro-Western democracy. Dabashi wanted to analyze the real reasons for this change, while examining how Islamic ideologies contributed to the revolution and the republic that followed. Theology of Discontent examines different Islamic thinkers, analyzing how views with seemingly little in common contributed to the modern Iranian belief system. Beyond its insightful analytical dissection of these eight thinkers, Theology of Discontent also shows Dabashi’s creative thinking skills. Reframing the debates about Iran’s relationship with the West, he traced the ways in which Iranian identity formed in reactive opposition to Western ideas. In many ways, Dabashi suggested, Iran was trapped in a cycle of deliberately asserting its difference from the West, a process that was fundamental to the development of its own unique brand of revolutionary Islamism.
