Book excerpt: Spending some moments with Him, God our Creator, on a daily basis reminds us of the need to spend more time with Him. For in those quiet moments with Him, we acknowledge our need to be with Him. We make it known to our Lord that we desire His presence in our lives. In those moments, we show our hunger for personal worship with our God. An opportunity to interact with God should be held at the highest priority within our lives. Those moments with Him are to be cherished. Moments with Him refresh our spiritual walk daily with Him. Spending time with Him encourages us and strengthens us when confronted with life’s challenges. Those moments with Him provide personal times of experience that broaden our knowledge of the Creator. "Moments With Him" is yet a tool to enter into His presence. May you further experience the living God today in your life as you spend moments with Him.

With his typical clarity and hardly a formula in sight, Peter Atkins' Very Short Introduction explores the contributions physical chemistry has made to all branches of chemistry. Providing an insight into its central concepts Atkins reveals the cultural contributions physical chemistry has made to our understanding of the natural world.

Book Synopsis The Sociology of Emotions by : Jonathan H. Turner
Download or read book The Sociology of Emotions written by Jonathan H. Turner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-03-14 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All social relations involve emotional responses, from the simplest face-to-face encounter through the mobilization of social movements to the commitments that individuals develop for culture and society. The social world is thus dependent upon the arousal of emotions, and equally significant conflict and change in societies is ultimately driven by emotional arousal. Thus, it is important to understand how human emotions influence, and are influenced by, the social world. This understanding takes us into the sociology of emotions that has emerged as a distinct area of inquiry over the last thirty years.
Book Synopsis Stop Thinking by : Krishna V R Muppavarapu
Download or read book Stop Thinking written by Krishna V R Muppavarapu and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2019-05-02 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fast-paced psychological thriller, this story will change the readers’ perspectives of the mechanisms of the world. While depicting technology as a double-edged sword, it transports you into the magical world of love, instinct and intuition. The bad guy in the story is invisible, but is a formidable force that is out to take control of the world in the most surreptitious way. (S)he is unstoppable and moves in a very fast and sophisticated manner. The protagonists, on the other hand are normal people who try hard to match the power of the antagonist. This book is not about the war between love and technology; rather it is a narrative of how technology and love coexist as the two most potent forces that drive modern human life. Every page of the book promises to be a cliffhanger with some spine-chilling moments. The endgame proves to be a breathtaking account of the coming together of primal powers to take on the might of the adversary that is growing in strength exponentially. Stop thinking… you are being heard!

Book Synopsis Cyberspaces and Global Affairs by : Sean S. Costigan
Download or read book Cyberspaces and Global Affairs written by Sean S. Costigan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the "Facebook" revolutions in the Arab world to the use of social networking in the aftermath of disasters in Japan and Haiti, to the spread of mobile telephony throughout the developing world: all of these developments are part of how information and communication technologies are altering global affairs. With the rise of the social web and applications like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, scholars and practitioners of international affairs are adapting to this new information space across a wide scale of issue areas. In conflict resolution, dialogues and communication are taking the form of open social networks, while in the legal realm, where cyberspace is largely lawless space, states are stepping up policing efforts to combat online criminality and hackers are finding new ways around increasingly sophisticated censorship. Militaries are moving to deeply incorporate information technologies into their doctrines, and protesters are developing innovative uses of technology to keep one step ahead of the authorities. The essays and topical cases in this book explore such issues as networks and networked thinking, information ownership, censorship, neutrality, cyberwars, humanitarian needs, terrorism, privacy and rebellion, giving a comprehensive overview of the core issues in the field, complemented by real world examples.

Book Synopsis Challenges to Global Security by : Hussein Solomon
Download or read book Challenges to Global Security written by Hussein Solomon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2007-10-24 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ours is an age of great upheaval where change sometimes appears to be the only constant. Three of the most important forces driving such change are globalization, regionalization and democratization. This substantial work makes a concerted attempt to understand these forces, and to show how they impact on the vitally important question of global security. The volume brings together a wide range of scholars who hold diverse views, and who collectively make a very significant contribution to current discourses within international relations and contemporary geopolitics. Such is the book's breadth that it covers every region of the world, addressing in turn security problems in the USA, Latin America, South Asia, South East Asia, Europe, Russia and environs, the Middle East, and Africa. Each discourse receives substantial coverage: from economics and politics to religion, religious fundamentalism and human rights. "Challenges to Global Security" offers one of the richest comparative volumes yet to be published on the subject, and will have strong appeal to students, scholars and policymakers in the fields of international relations, ethics, and politics.
Book Synopsis Contentious Minds by : Florence Passy
Download or read book Contentious Minds written by Florence Passy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY NC ND 4.0 International license. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Why does the mind matter for collective action? In Contentious Minds, Florence Passy and Gian-Andrea Monsch explain how cognitive and relational processes allow activists participate in and sustain their commitment to activism. Based on a wide array of survey and interview data with activists engaged in protest, volunteering and unions, they highlight how a commitment community develop shared values, identities, and meanings through interaction. The interplay of talk and ties enables stories and meanings to be constructed and exchanged, conveys worldviews and intentions that are modified through ongoing conversations, and reinforces and maintains commitment over time. Passy and Monsch's ambitious work brings the mind and culture back into the study of social movements and highlights the crucial role social networks play in constructing the communities and shared values that sustain commitment.
Book Synopsis Teaching with Authority by : Edwin K. Broadhead
Download or read book Teaching with Authority written by Edwin K. Broadhead and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Gospels of the NT are strategic narratives of proclamation. The primary focus of these narratives is christological. Miracle stories play a central role in this narrative process and in its resulting christological portrait. Strategies of interpretation must be consciously shaped to highlight this narrative strategy and its christological focus. The first three statements now seem self-evident, yet these conclusions were reached relatively late in the history of research. The fourth contention lies at the center of recent methodological debate in Gospel studies. This analysis will re-evaluate the miracle traditions through a methodology designed to highlight the narrative identity and the christological focus of the Gospel of Mark. The primary goal of this analysis is reconsideration of the role played by miracles stories in the characterization of Jesus. As a secondary goal this analysis will address the ongoing question of which methodological approaches best contribute to the aims of NT studies."--

Download or read book In His Image written by Andy Matheson and published by Authentic Media Inc. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You've heard the overwhelming statistics. You've probably felt compassion, guilt, powerlessness, hopelessness. You might have given money, food, clothes, or even some of your time to help a few of the billions of people living in destitution in our world. But have you actually engaged with someone, another human being created in the image of God, who is dying in the arms of poverty? Andy Matheson, Oasis International Director, argues that we can only begin to understand poverty, its effects, and possible solutions when we focus on the truth that all people are made in God's image. God calls us to meet with the poor not primarily to offer services or to develop programs, but to develop.
Book Synopsis Chinese Contributions to International Discourse of Human Rights by : Pinghua Sun
Download or read book Chinese Contributions to International Discourse of Human Rights written by Pinghua Sun and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-04-06 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses human rights law, focusing on Chinese contributions to international human rights viewed from a perspective of global governance. The original research presented here integrates a variety of research methods: inter-disciplinary approaches, historical and comparative methods, documentary research and so on. The research findings can be described briefly as follows: In global governance, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) serves as a historic cross-cultural heritage, while Pengchun Chang, the Chinese representative, made great contributions to the establishment of the international human rights system. After examining the characteristics of the Chinese discourse on human rights in global governance, the book suggests fundamental principles for improving human rights standards in China. In addition, it explores Chinese concepts of human dignity concerning the Declaration on Human Dignity for everyone, everywhere. The target readers are global scholars and students of law, politics, philosophy, international relations, human rights law, religion and culture. The book will provide these readers a vivid picture of China’s contributions to international human rights, and a better understanding of the significance of traditional Chinese culture and wisdom.
Book Synopsis Post-Liberal Peace Transitions by : Oliver P. Richmond
Download or read book Post-Liberal Peace Transitions written by Oliver P. Richmond and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is it that states emerging from intervention, peacebuilding and statebuilding over the last 25 years appear to be 'failed by design'? This study explores the interplay of local peace agency with the (neo)liberal peacebuilding project. And it looks at how far can local 'peace formation' dynamics can go to counteract the forces of violence and play a role in rebuilding the state, consolidate peace processes and induce a more progressive form of politics. By looking at local agency related to peace formation, Oliver Richmond and Sandra Pogodda find answers to the pressing question of how large-scale peacebuilding or statebuilding may be significantly improved and made more representative of the lives, needs, rights, and ambitions of its subjects.
