Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we are confronted by those subtleties that orbit the peripheries outside of our cognitive grasp and threatened our very existence, how often are we unaware of their potency to distort or to annihilate our precious God-given identity of distinction, a distinction of who and of what we are! We are surrounded by malevolent councils whose agendas intend on quashing our attributes as beings of integrity and compassion. Yet, strangely enough, our race is deceived in assisting those dark forces with diminishing our strength to protect ourselves against them. There are ancient frowns from variant species that appose our race of man; and they have, from the dawn of space and time, strive to eliminate the very vestige of what may be salvageable or resemble our fragile fraternity as humans. Hopefully, we may be able to take a hold of what may still remain of our tenacity to preserve our identity as a race, a people, a culture, an integrity, and a nation, and, by all endeavor, the remaining spark in our souls, the last frontier of the dying embers that glow within us, the image of God. Bold Claims is also replete with controversial topics of ethnic origin, immigration, and misleading drum major myths that one may discern simply by the lantern of his own soul. These are presented to stimulate the reader to reexamine history and his place in it. Consider it to be biblically challenging, conscience examining, and contemporarily exposing. Although some of these topics occur in antiquity or on the threshold to come, to them all, may God be the glory!

Download or read book Searching Paul written by Kathy Ehrensperger and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firmly rooted in his ancestral Jewish traditions, Paul interacted with, and was involved in vivid communication primarily with non-Jews, who through Christ were associated with the one God of Israel. In the highly diverse cultural, linguistic, social, and political world of the Roman Empire, Paul's activities are seen as those of a cultural translator embedded in his own social and symbolic world and simultaneously conversant with the diverse, mainly Greek and Roman world, of the non-Jewish nations. In this role he negotiates the Jewish message of the Christ event into the particular everyday life of his addressees. Informed by socio-historical research, cultural studies, and gender studies Kathy Ehrensperger explores in her collection of essays aspects of this process based on the hermeneutical presupposition that the Pauline texts are rooted in the social particularities of everyday life of the people involved in the Christ-movement, and that his theologizing has to be understood from within this context.
Download or read book Experimental Conversations written by Timothy N. Ogden and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-03-19 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discussions of the use and limits of randomized control trials, considering the power of theory, external validity, gaps in knowledge, and what issues matter. The practice of development economics has undergone something of a revolution as many economists have adopted new methods to answer perennial questions about the effectiveness of anti-poverty programs. In this book, prominent development economists discuss the use and impact of one of the most significant of these new methods, randomized control trials (RCTs) and field experiments. In extended interviews conducted over a period of several years, they explain their work and their thinking and consider the broader issues of how we learn about the world and how we can change it for the better. These conversations offer specialists and nonspecialists alike a unique opportunity to hear economists speak in their own words, free of the confines of a particular study or econometric esoterica. The economists describe how they apply research findings in the way they think about the world, revealing their ideas about the power of theory, external validity, gaps in knowledge, and what issues matter. Also included are interviews with RCT observers, critics, sponsors, consumers, and others. Each interview provides a brief biography of the interviewee. Thorough annotations offer background and explanations for key ideas and studies referred to in the conversations.

Download or read book Reflective and Impulsive Determinants of Human Behavior written by Roland Deutsch and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflicts between the "head" and the "heart" are very common in everyday life. Over the past decade, research on such self-regulatory conflicts has been strongly shaped by Strack and Deutsch’s 2004 Reflective-Impulsive Model (RIM). The award-winning theory integrates cognitive, affective, and motivational influences on overt behavior, offering a domain-independent framework that is applicable to wide range of social and non-social phenomena. This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of research under the framework of the RIM. Its 15 chapters provide an overview of basic principles of behavior determination, showcase the RIM’s integrative and predictive power in many cross-cutting areas of inquiry, and illustrate the value of the theory for understanding the fundamental role of reflective and impulsive processes in various applied domains. Expanding on an introduction that discusses the significance of the RIM from a historical view, the book is divided into three major sections. The first section covers basic psychological principles within the RIM, including selective accessibility, embodiment, associative and propositional operations, and implementation intentions. The second section reviews the integrative and predictive power of the RIM in many cross-cutting areas of inquiry, including intuition, attitudes, self-control, and personality. Finally, the third section showcases the generative power of the RIM in various applied areas, including research on health behavior, addiction, anxiety, economic behavior, sexual behavior, and aggression. In its entirety, this volume provides an indispensable resource for any scholar interested in the psychological underpinnings of reflective and impulsive behavior in various areas of inquiry.

This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the latest research on how to feed your child well—especially in their crucial first two years One of the greatest challenges a parent faces is navigating their child’s appetite. From picky eaters to overeaters, babies and toddlers can be difficult to feed. Yet a parent’s job is to ensure that their child is receiving the nutrition they need. New research suggests that a child’s eating habits are shaped as early as pregnancy. In An Appetite for Life, researchers Clare Llewellyn, PhD, and Hayley Syrad, PhD, separate fact from fad and share the latest reliable science to help you decide what’s best for you and your child. What to eat during pregnancy to ensure good maternal and infant health. Milk-feeding how-tos, with advice on both breastfeeding and formula. Baby’s essential first foods, including easy-to-follow guidance on weaning, introducing solid foods, and important nutrients. Balanced diets for toddlers, with feeding strategies for different eating styles. This is an invaluable, evidence-based guide to your child’s unique appetite and what they need in order to eat well—for life.
Download or read book Lacan and Klein Creation and Discovery written by Adam Rosen-Carole and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012-07-10 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the one hand, Creation and Discovery, Lacan and Klein: An Essay of Reintroduction seeks to disclose the often suppressed or unacknowledged proximity, even intimacy, between Lacan and Klein, and thereby to facilitate a re-introduction between Lacan and Klein such that their works can read anew, both independently and together. On the other hand, by reconstructing the highly divergent metapsychological theories and clinical orientations of Jacques Lacan and Melanie Klein from their discussions of the same case material, the text seeks to demonstrate the irreducible plurality of psychoanalysis and the ethico-political significance of this plurality. Siding with neither Lacan nor Klein's perspective, Adam Rosen-Carole argues that within and between these exaggerated positions, a dialectic of creation and discovery emerges that affords the reader unique insights into the nature and status of psychoanalytic knowing and its particular objects. Special attention is paid to the indelible exaggerations and distortions, the guiding sensitivities and urgencies, and the concomitant structures of blindness and insight organizing various psychoanalytic perspectives. Written for clinicians as well as for students and scholars interested in psychoanalysis and philosophy, this book serves not only as a comprehensive introduction to Lacan, but also a reassessment of psychoanalytic method.

Download or read book Scientific Method in Practice written by Hugh G. Gauch and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the gateway to scientific thinking, an understanding of the scientific method is essential for success and productivity in science. This book is the first synthesis of the practice and the philosophy of the scientific method. It will enable scientists to be better scientists by offering them a deeper understanding of the underpinnings of the scientific method, thereby leading to more productive research and experimentation. It will also give scientists a more accurate perspective on the rationality of the scientific approach and its role in society. Beginning with a discussion of today's 'science wars' and science's presuppositions, the book then explores deductive and inductive logic, probability, statistics, and parsimony, and concludes with an examination of science's powers and limits, and a look at science education. Topics relevant to a variety of disciplines are treated, and clarifying figures, case studies, and chapter summaries enhance the pedagogy. This adeptly executed, comprehensive, yet pragmatic work yields a new synergy suitable for scientists and instructors, and graduate students and advanced undergraduates.
