Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This imaginative approach to Jesus studies chronicles the journey of Norm, a fictional college graduate who travels to the Middle East to see if he can study Jesus and follow him at the same time, and if curiosity will make him a better disciple or no disciple at all. Norm sets out on an adventure to investigate the New Testament and the life of Jesus for himself, hitchhiking simultaneously across the Gospels and the land. His travels offer students and lay readers a creative and engaging way to explore many of the major questions in Jesus studies today. Will Norm be able to reconcile his Christian faith with critical scholarship? As readers follow his faith journey, they learn the importance of asking probing questions. The book's lavish, journal-style interior design--featuring maps, photos, doodles, sketches, and email exchanges between Norm and his professor--makes it fun to read.

Book excerpt: And Another Thing ... will be the sixth novel in the now improbably named Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. Eight years after the death of its creator, Douglas Adams, the author's widow, Jane Belson, has given her approval for the project to be continued by the international number one bestselling children's writer, Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Fowl novels. Douglas Adams himself once said, 'I suspect at some point in the future I will write a sixth Hitchhiker book. Five seems to be a wrong kind of number, six is a better kind of number.' Belson said of Eoin Colfer, 'I love his books and could not think of a better person to transport Arthur, Zaphod and Marvin to pastures new.' Colfer, a fan of Hitchhiker since his schooldays, said, 'Being given the chance to write this book is like suddenly being offered the superpower of your choice. For years I have been finishing this incredible story in my head and now I have the opportunity to do it in the real world.' Prepare to be amazed...

Download or read book The Frood written by Jem Roberts and published by Random House. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a wise ape once observed, space is big – vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly so. However, if you look too closely at space, it becomes nothing but lumps of rock and sundry gases. Sometimes it's necessary to take a step back, and let a few billion years go by, before any of the true wonder and scope of the cosmos becomes apparent. Similarly, the late 20th century author, humorist and thinker Douglas Adams was big – vastly, hugely and thoroughly mind-bogglingly so, both in physical terms, and as a writer who has touched millions of readers, firing up millions of cerebellums all over planet Earth, for over 35 years – and for nearly half of that time, he hasn't even been alive. It would be ridiculous to pretend that Douglas Adams's life and work has gone unexamined since his dismayingly early death at 49 but throughout the decade since the last book to tackle the subject, the universes Adams created have continued to develop, to beguile and expand minds, and will undoubtedly do so for generations to come. An all-new approach to the most celebrated creation of Douglas Adams is therefore most welcome, and The Frood tells the story of Adams's explosive but agonizingly constructed fictional universe, from his initial inspirations to the posthumous sequel(s) and adaptations, bringing together a thousand tales of life as part of the British Comedy movements of the late 70s and 80s along the way. With the benefit of hindsight and much time passed, friends and colleagues have been interviewed for a fresh take on the man and his works.

Book excerpt: Part coming of age, part call to action, this fast-paced #ownvoices novel about a Deaf teenager is a unique and inspiring exploration of what it means to belong. Smart, artistic, and independent, sixteen year old Piper is tired of trying to conform. Her mom wants her to be “normal,” to pass as hearing, to get a good job. But in a time of food scarcity, environmental collapse, and political corruption, Piper has other things on her mind—like survival. Piper has always been told that she needs to compensate for her Deafness in a world made for those who can hear. But when she meets Marley, a new world opens up—one where Deafness is something to celebrate, and where resilience means taking action, building a com-munity, and believing in something better. Published to rave reviews as Future Girl in Australia (Allen & Unwin, Sept. 2020), this empowering, unforgettable story is told through a visual extravaganza of text, paint, collage, and drawings.

Download or read book Lexon written by Henning Diedrich and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-05 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS RELEASE IS AN EARLY DRAFT FOR FEEDBACK AND DISCUSSION.*Lexon* is a new type of program language that anyone can read without prior knowledge of programming. It was made for blockchain *smart contracts* and can be used to write (more) legal smart contracts. Its application points beyond blockchain and legal concerns though, to any circumstance where people would benefit from algorithms to be more transparent. It is really about a new paradigm in programming.This book is a comprehensive introduction into the language, its use and its purpose by the creator. It starts out with practical examples, gives context for the online editor to try Lexon live, touches on the philosophical and the history of (more) human-readable languages. The author published the first best seller on smart contracts and with this new book proposes where the journey will go.*Lexon* achieves the Holy Grail of Computational Law: it captures the meaning of contracts for automatic processing. But Lexon is also useful for any community or company that wants its smart contracts to be readable for all its members. Programming should long have been this easy. Legal prose should long have been as accessible and affordable as contracts written in Lexon are. Lexon joins the old and the new, the power of the word with the power of the electron, and by this, super charges blockchain technology in an unexpected way that will touch many walks of life.This book is for everyone who is curious and has an open mind. Lexon is still under development. Find updates about Lexon at https://www.lexon.tech.*In non-technical terms,* this book presents* examples of legal, smart contracts that anyone can read, written in Lexon; * visualizes what Lexon does differently from other program languages to stay closer to human language and to keep more semantic information intact; * proposes what elements constitute human-readability and how they shape up with Lexon;* Lexon's grammar, vocabulary and document structure are explained; * abstract syntax trees are illustrated; * the term 'meaning' is discussed to explore Lexon's relationship to AI; * the research leading to the human-readable program language is retraced and put into the context of Computational Law, and the history of program language;* finally, applications and benefits of the new capabilities are listed.
