Book Description
How do Christian higher education institutions orient new faculty members to their role on a Christian campus? How do they lead faculty members toward a deeper understanding of the Christian dimension of their place in higher education? Bible Colleges, Christian Universities, and Seminaries need a resource that can be provided to faculty members or be used in faculty development discussions. This book is designed to serve as just such a resource. It provides a clear and concise portrait of the general role of faculty from a distinctively evangelical Christian perspective. We use the metanarrative of being formed by the cross to describe the “cruciform” role of professors as teachers in the classroom, mentors to the students, scholars within the academy, and servants of the church and community. Each chapter will have personal and group reflection questions and exercises to aid in application.

Book Description
In this volume, an international group of scholars present Bonhoeffer's thought as a model of Christian thinking that can help shape a distinctly religious philosophy. They examine the philosophical influences on Bonhoeffer and explore the new perspectives his work brings to the perennial challenges of faith and reason, philosophy and theology, and the problem of evil. --from publisher's description.

Book Description
Florida Southern College in Lakeland boasts the largest single-site collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in the world. With eleven buildings planned and designed by Wright, the campus forms a rich tableau for examining the architect's philosophy and design practice. In this fully illustrated volume, Dale Allen Gyure tells the engaging story of the ambitious project from beginning to end. The college's dynamic president, Ludd M. Spivey, wanted the grounds and buildings redesigned to embody a modern and distinctly American expression of Protestant theology. Informed by Spivey's vision, his own early educational experience, and his architectural philosophy, Wright conceived the "Child of the Sun" complex. Much like Thomas Jefferson's famous plan for the University of Virginia, the academic village that Wright designed for Florida Southern College expresses a dramatic and personal statement about education in a democratic society. Little studied to date, this significant campus and its history are finally given the attention they deserve in this fascinating volume.

Book Description
Why do we search for Jesus the Galilean behind the Christ of Paul and before the politics of the earliest Christians? To recover a more humanistic, powerful healer, wondrous teacher, and courageous activist for social justice. Jesus could face the most dominant military force in his world with equanimity because he was living in God's Realm. This divine kingdom belongs to the people, especially the poor, the sick, the dispossessed, and the sinners, and it could never be conquered by the Caesars. This truth shakes the planet. It is the sublime light of freedom which streams from Yeshua when we liberate him from the superstitions and dogmas of religion. Freeing Jesus is the mission of this book. This book is also the story of Ron Mazur's experiences with Roman Catholicism, Unitarianism, Messianic Judaism, the Jesus Seminar, the Spirit of Yeshua Fellowship, and anti-war resistance. In addition it reveals the daring of Thomas Jefferson's quest for the authentic words of Jesus of Nazareth. With www.SpiritofYeshua.net, Free Jesus is virtually plugged into a website and the Internet, creating online interaction with its readers. This 21st century dawns with hope for a happier humanity.

Book Description
Nitric oxide has proven to be a molecule with wide biological significance. It is involved in myriad actions which range from physiology to pathophysiology. One of the fundamental questions in relation to its biological relevance concerns the paradoxical nature of some of its actions. For example, there is a whole range of effects related to cytoprotection, cell proliferation, differentiation, and cell death. The way in which nitric oxide becomes involved in pathophysiology is slowly being elucidated. This volume contains a summary of the discussions that took place at the Second International Paraelios Symposium on Nitric Oxide research, and will make a significant contribution to this very exciting subject. Originally published in 1998. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Book Description
Significant progress in the science and technology of the mechanical behaviour of materials has been made in recent years. The greatest strides forward have occurred in the field of advanced materials with high performance, such as ceramics, composite materials, and intermetallic compounds. The Sixth International Conference on Mechanical Behaviour of Materials (ICM-6), taking place in Kyoto, Japan, 29 July - 2 August 1991 addressed these issues. In commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the Japan Society of Materials Science, organised by the Foundation for Advancement of International Science and supported by the Science Council of Japan, the information provided in these proceedings reflects the international nature of the meeting. It provides a valuable account of recent developments and problems in the field of mechanical behaviour of materials.
