Download or read book The Numerati written by Stephen Baker and published by HMH. This book was released on 2009-09-08 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how the crisis over digital privacy and manipulation evolved in this “utterly fascinating” look at the growth of data mining and analysis (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). Award-winning journalist Stephen Baker traces the rise of the “global math elite”: computer scientists who invent ways to not only record our behavior, but also to predict and alter it. Nowadays, we don’t need to be online to create a digital trail; we do it simply by driving through an automated tollbooth or shopping with a credit card. As massive amounts of information are collected, sifted, and analyzed, we all become targets of those who want to influence everything from what we buy to how we vote. Clear and “highly readable,” The Numerati is a look at the origins of our present-day world, the possibilities of the future, and those who—whether with good or bad intentions—profile us as workers, consumers, citizens, or potential terrorists (The Wall Street Journal).

Book Synopsis The Seven Tengu Scrolls by : Haruko Wakabayashi
Download or read book The Seven Tengu Scrolls written by Haruko Wakabayashi and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of visual and textual images of the mythical creature tengu from the late Heian (897–1185) to the late Kamakura (1185–1333) periods. Popularly depicted as half-bird, half-human creatures with beaks or long noses, wings, and human bodies, tengu today are commonly seen as guardian spirits associated with the mountain ascetics known as yamabushi. In the medieval period, however, the character of tengu most often had a darker, more malevolent aspect. Haruko Wakabashi focuses in this study particularly on tengu as manifestations of the Buddhist concept of Māra (or ma), the personification of evil in the form of the passions and desires that are obstacles to enlightenment. Her larger aim is to investigate the use of evil in the rhetoric of Buddhist institutions of medieval Japan. Through a close examination of tengu that appear in various forms and contexts, Wakabayashi considers the functions of a discourse on evil as defined by the Buddhist clergy to justify their position and marginalize others. Early chapters discuss Buddhist appropriations of tengu during the late twelfth and thirteenth centuries in relation to the concept of ma. Multiple interpretations of ma developed in response to changes in society and challenges to the Buddhist community, which recruited tengu in its efforts to legitimize its institutions. The highlight of the work discusses in detail the thirteenth-century narrative scroll Tengu zōshi (also known as the Shichi Tengu-e, or the Seven Tengu Scrolls), in which monks from prominent temples in Nara and Kyoto and leaders of “new” Buddhist sects (Pure Land and Zen) are depicted as tengu. Through a close analysis of the Tengu zōshi’s pictures and text, the author reveals one aspect of the critique against Kamakura Buddhism and how tengu images were used to express this in the late thirteenth century. She concludes with a reexamination of the meaning of tengu and a discussion of how ma was essentially socially constructed not only to explain the problems that plague this world, but also to justify the existence of an institution that depended on the presence of evil for its survival. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, Wakabayashi provides a thoughtful and innovative analysis of history and religion through art. The Seven Tengu Scrolls will therefore appeal to those with an interest in Japanese art, history, and religion, as well as in interdisciplinary approaches to socio-cultural history.

Book excerpt: Uncompromising but compassionate, Mike tackles the tricky issues of same-sex relationships, gender and the Church’s interaction with individuals of the LGBTQ+ community today. Writing for the Church, to challenge the Church, he does not shy away from the tough questions including: What does the Bible actually say? Are believers living with a Kingdom-first mindset or going with the cultural flow? How can the Church keep love and truth in tandem in supporting the LGBTQ+ community? And much more... This resource highlights what the Word of God plainly teaches about gender and sexuality. I would love to see faithful Christians present a copy of Sexuality & Holiness to every pastor and church leader throughout the country. Pastor John of Strengthen the Faithful As someone working with young people engulfed with pressing ethical topics of sex, sexuality, and gender, I have found this book to be an incredible resource. I highly recommend it for its honest tone and accessible style to leaders and members of youth groups alike. Jenny Ogwal, Youth Leader I know Mike Williams to be a man of integrity and he has approached this important subject with humility and compassion... Throughout the book the emphasis is that rather than being a killjoy, God actually longs to bless people. Reverend John Bridger
