Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Copernicus and Galileos sun-centered model of the solar system gave us our view of space.

Taub believes so, and he develops three of themage, sex, and casteto reveal the deeper currents of history. The models presented in The Spiritual Imperative clarify the past, explain the present, and help anticipate the future. Taub uses these models to make insightful forecasts of future discontinuities that answer the major questions facing us today. Some of his predictions include: a regional political-economic block formed in the Far East and what this will mean to the world an alliance between the U.S. and Russia and how this will develop Israeli-Palestinian peace leading to a Pan-Semitic Union that will make the Middle East one of two main world centers of economic, political, and spiritual power in the mid-twenty-first century the replacement of technology with religion and spirituality as the main growth market in the twenty-first century The Spiritual Imperative provides insight into where human civilization has been and where its going.

This book was released on 2021-02-22 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the business context evolves more rapidly, driven by accelerating technological, political, and social change, an increasing strategic priority for business leaders is how to enact large-scale organizational change. Even companies that are current industry leaders are vulnerable to disruption. Company leaders need to watch over their shoulder for—and transform the company in anticipation of—the next disruption. Mastering the Science of Organizational Change summarizes the work of the BCG Henderson Institute and its fellows and ambassadors over several years to develop a more scientific approach to change. Hundreds of companies are analyzed in the book’s discussion on how to beat the odds in large-scale change management using an evidence-based approach—a large-scale analysis of what approaches actually work in which circumstances. Part 1 of the book reviews the imperatives for self-disruption. The second part elaborates on how to manage the process of change. Finally, Part 3 discusses how organizations can take change to the next level. Events around the book Link to a De Gruyter online event in which, Martin Reeves, Chairman of the BCG Henderson Institute, will share lessons on how to develop a more scientific approach to change including how to self disrupt, how to manage the process of change, and how organizations can take change to the next level: https://youtu.be/TfzFllmL4Cg

Download or read book Inventive Life written by Mariam Fraser and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2006-01-19 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates how and why vitalism - the idea that life cannot be explained by the principles of mechanism - matters now. Vitalism resists closure and reductionism in the life sciences whilst simultaneously addressing the object of life itself. The aim of this collection is to consider the questions that vitalism makes it possible to ask: questions about the role and status of life across the sciences, social sciences and humanities and questions about contingency, indeterminacy, relationality and change. All have special importance now, as the concepts of complexity, artificial life and artificial intelligence, information theory and cybernetics become increasingly significant in more and more fields of activity.

Download or read book The Vitality of Old Testament Traditions written by Hans Walter Wolff and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 1982-01-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Vitality of Old Testament Traditions" offers the best current handling of Pentateuchal traditions as they operated in the past and as they help the church now. Wolff sees Israel's faith tradition as a continuous kerygmatic response to a variety of cultural challenges. Brueggemann introduces this dynamic view of tradition. Both authors approach the Pentateuch as a treasury of new expressions of faith resulting from conflicts between traditional formulas and changing social conditions. Today's church can remain spiritually alive only if its traditions continue to be as resilient as they were in the Old Testament community. Wolff and Brueggemann affirm that modern crises of faith should be met with fresh articulations in the manner of ancient Israel-- innovative and pertinent if they are strengthened by the relevance of the past.

Download or read book The Vitality of Enjoyment in Qohelet s Theological Rhetoric written by Eunny P. Lee and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-02-14 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the interplay between the commendation of enjoyment and the injunction to fear God in Ecclesiastes. Previous studies have tended to examine these seemingly antithetical themes in isolation from one another. Seeing enjoyment and fear to be positively correlated, however, enables a fresh articulation of the book’s theology. Enjoyment of life lies at the heart of Qohelet’s vision of piety, which may be characterized as faithful realism, calling for an authentic engagement with both the tragic and joyous dimensions of human existence. Winner of the 2007 John Templeton Award for Theological Promise

Download or read book Power to the Transfer written by Dimpal Jain and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2020-02-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, U.S. community colleges serve nearly half of all students of color in higher education who, for a multitude of reasons, do not continue their education by transferring to a university. For those students who do transfer, often the responsibility for the application process, retention, graduation, and overall success is placed on them rather than their respective institutions. This book aims to provide direction toward the development and maintenance of a transfer receptive culture, which is defined as an institutional commitment by a university to support transfer students of color. A transfer receptive culture explicitly acknowledges the roles of race and racism in the vertical transfer process from a community college to a university and unapologetically centers transfer as a form of equity in the higher education pipeline. The framework is guided by critical race theory in education, which acknowledges the role of white supremacy and its contemporary and historical role in shaping institutions of higher learning.
Download or read book The Effect of Solar Energy on the Climate Change in Mountains Over Egypt written by Samy Abdelmordy Elasyed Khalil and published by Shineeks Publishers. This book was released on 2022-07-14 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar energy data at ground level are important for a wide range of applications in meteorology, engineering, agricultural sciences (particularly for soil physics, agricultural hydrology, crop modeling and estimating crop evapotranspiration), as well as in the health sector and in research in many fields of the natural sciences. The solar energy reaching the Earth upper atmosphere is a quantity rather constant in time. However, the radiation reaching some point on Earth surface is random in nature, due to the gases, clouds and dust within the atmosphere, which absorb and/or scatter radiation at different wavelengths. Climate change is becoming more and more evident to everybody and there is an urgent need for action. The climate of Egypt is generally moderate ranging from semiarid to extremely arid conditions with distinguished features of arid zones. There are three distinguished types of climate in Egypt including the desert climate (in the inland areas), the Mediterranean climate (in the northern coastal areas) and the climate of the coast of the Red Sea. Solar energy reduces greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere because it harnesses the power of sun energy with little to no gases being released. The amount of carbon dioxide released to the atmosphere is way less from solar energy compared to coal plants when seeking to produce the same amount of KWh per year. The benefits of solar power to the environment include the provision of an inexhaustible supply of energy from the sun. Solar power captures the sun’s energy with no harm to the environment.
