Download or read book Blessings Miracles Supernatural Experiences written by Christopher H.K. Persaud and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-03-06 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people today are reluctant to believe in blessings ensuing from a supernatural source, and they are hesitant to lend credence to the possibility of miracles and supernatural experiences as well. Numerous Christians too, although they profess allegiance to the God of the Holy Bible, tread delicately on a path that would otherwise bridge a chasm between the temporal or tangible and the miraculous or preternatural. The result is a departure from Biblical Christianity and the embracing of a kind of pseudo-religiosity far removed from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In Blessings, Miracles & Supernatural Experiences: A Biblical Perspective A Christians Story, the author presents an explicative discussion about blessings, miracles and supernatural experiences from a Biblical standpoint. He purposes to explain the supernaturalness of God, while acknowledging present-day humankinds falling away from Biblical Christianity and its pronouncements about an omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent Creator and Designer of life and of the universe. The author devotes three full-length chapters to the recollection of blessings, miracles and supernatural experiences in his life, the lives of family members including his siblings and their families, and his parents. There are stories about healings, miracles, supernatural experiences and even demon possession and exorcism, all of which actually took place. The penultimate and final chapters of Blessings, Miracles & Supernatural Experiences: A Biblical Perspective A Christians Story examine the greatest miracle in history the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and analyze what religious scholars refer to as End-time events and the ushering in of eternity, a period of everlastingness in either of two locations heaven or hell!

Download or read book Polymer Composites Biocomposites written by Sabu Thomas and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymer composites are materials in which the matrix polymer is reinforced with organic/inorganic fillers of a definite size and shape, leading to enhanced performance of the resultant composite. These materials find a wide number of applications in such diverse fields as geotextiles, building, electronics, medical, packaging, and automobiles. This first systematic reference on the topic emphasizes the characteristics and dimension of this reinforcement. The authors are leading researchers in the field from academia, government, industry, as well as private research institutions across the globe, and adopt a practical approach here, covering such aspects as the preparation, characterization, properties and theory of polymer composites. The book begins by discussing the state of the art, new challenges, and opportunities of various polymer composite systems. Interfacial characterization of the composites is discussed in detail, as is the macro- and micromechanics of the composites. Structure-property relationships in various composite systems are explained with the help of theoretical models, while processing techniques for various macro- to nanocomposite systems and the influence of processing parameters on the properties of the composite are reviewed in detail. The characterization of microstructure, elastic, viscoelastic, static and dynamic mechanical, thermal, tribological, rheological, optical, electrical and barrier properties are highlighted, as well as their myriad applications. Divided into three volumes: Vol. 1. Macro- and Microcomposites; Vol. 2. Nanocomposites; and Vol. 3. Biocomposites.

Download or read book Japanese Investment in the World Economy written by Roger Farrell and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the title suggests, this is an ambitious book. Broad in scope and rich in detail, it examines the rise and fall of Japanese foreign direct investment (FDI) in nearly two dozen industries, from electronics and automobile manufacturing to real estate and construction services, in almost every region of the world over the past half century or more. The result is an encyclopedic volume (459 pages with index). . . useful for East Asian business scholars or those interested in the overseas activities of Japanese firms. Farrell has written. . . a sweeping survey of Japanese FDI. Walter Hatch, Journal of Japanese Studies Roger Farrell has written a weighty compendium on Japanese direct foreign investment. At over 450 pages it covers the full array of Japan s diverse industries and sectors, from fisheries and lumber to steel and automobiles, and in the service industries from banking to telecommunications. Apart from the breadth of coverage, this work is even more remarkable considering that Japanese multinationals and their overseas investments have been largely under the radar of social scientists of late, especially so since the ascent of China in the early years of the present decade. David W. Edgington, Growth and Change Enhanced with indexes, appendixes, and editorial opinions on the subject, Japanese Investment in the World Economy is a complete and comprehensive scholarly reference, ideal for college and community library economics collections. Midwest Book Review The Economics Shelf This book examines Japanese Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the world economy over more than five decades. It provides a unique focus on the internationalisation experience of selected industries, such as forestry, textiles, electronics, motor vehicles, steel and services as well as case studies of individual firms. Roger Farrell considers the theoretical explanations for Japanese FDI and particular motivations which have been an ongoing rationale for FDI, including: energy and resource security the theme of retaining market access the relocation of manufacturing to retain international competitiveness withdrawal after the bubble economy the new phase of investment in the 2000s. Japanese Investment in the World Economy is distinctive in that it examines overseas investment by firms in the primary, manufacturing and services sectors over the period in which the Japanese economy became the second largest in the world. The book provides a succinct overview of Japanese FDI of interest to professionals and students of business, economics, international relations, politics and Japanese culture.

Download or read book The End of Detroit written by Micheline Maynard and published by Currency. This book was released on 2004-09-21 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth, hard-hitting account of the mistakes, miscalculations and myopia that have doomed America’s automobile industry. In the 1990s, Detroit’s Big Three automobile companies were riding high. The introduction of the minivan and the SUV had revitalized the industry, and it was widely believed that Detroit had miraculously overcome the threat of foreign imports and regained its ascendant position. As Micheline Maynard makes brilliantly clear in THE END OF DETROIT, however, the traditional American car industry was, in fact, headed for disaster. Maynard argues that by focusing on high-profit trucks and SUVs, the Big Three missed a golden opportunity to win back the American car-buyer. Foreign companies like Toyota and Honda solidified their dominance in family and economy cars, gained market share in high-margin luxury cars, and, in an ironic twist, soon stormed in with their own sophisticatedly engineered and marketed SUVs, pickups and minivans. Detroit, suffering from a “good enough” syndrome and wedded to ineffective marketing gimmicks like rebates and zero-percent financing, failed to give consumers what they really wanted—reliability, the latest technology and good design at a reasonable cost. Drawing on a wide range of interviews with industry leaders, including Toyota’s Fujio Cho, Nissan’s Carlos Ghosn, Chrysler’s Dieter Zetsche, BMW’s Helmut Panke, and GM’s Robert Lutz, as well as car designers, engineers, test drivers and owners, Maynard presents a stark picture of the culture of arrogance and insularity that led American car manufacturers astray. Maynard predicts that, by the end of the decade, one of the American car makers will no longer exist in its present form.

Contracts in Context: From Transaction to Litigation, covers contract law from a transactional perspective, including: A contract's structure and terms, Contract formation legal requirements, andThe negotiation, drafting, and performance of contracts, as well as the litigation of contracts, including a review of a contract's interpretation, enforcement, and remedies. Contracts in Context: From Transaction to Litigation explores why parties enter into contracts, how written contracts are customarily structured, and how and why parties use contract design and terms to achieve their goals. The book is unique because it introduces students to customary contract provisions, and walks students through the lifecycle of a contract, including (i) pre-formation activities such as due diligence, preliminary negotiations, and contract drafting, (ii) contract formation, performance, and amendment, and (iii) dispute activities, such as interpretation, enforcement, defenses, and remedies. The book explores how parties "contract around" default requirements of the law, in addition to satisfying mandatory aspects of the law, through contracts. The book describes the role of both the transactional lawyer and litigator in working with contracts. It presents much of the material in expository fashion rather than only or primarily through cases. This allows students to learn the doctrine more easily. It also allows for more time on applying the law to new situations. The book challenges students to apply contract law through transactional and litigation practice and simulation problems, which are adaptable to the classroom and asynchronous setting. New to the Second Edition: Additional materials covering the professional identities of attorneys, in addition to their professional responsibilities. Revised practice problems for students to apply the contract law doctrine and private ordering principles they have learned. Expanded discussion of the role of contracts and contract law in widening and correcting power imbalances. Several new cases to enhance the learning experience. Professors and students will benefit from: Material presented on contract design and terms so that students understand how contracts are used in practice by businesspersons and how contract law supports this private ordering. Many examples of contract language to demonstrate why and how parties customize contracts to further their goals. Discussion of the role of the transactional lawyer in working with contracts so that students can begin to develop important transactional skills and wrestle with some of the professional dilemmas transactional lawyers frequently face. Explanations of contract law and other material presented through expository text to give students a more comprehensive and clearer view of what limits the law imposes on their private ordering through contracts and which requirements can be contracted around. A large set of problems, many of which involve tasks assigned to new transactional lawyers and litigators, to allow students to learn the material through active participation and critical thinking.
