Journey back to where it all started in this deluxe collection of
the classic Topps trading cards from 1993-just in time for the
theatrical release of Jurassic World: DominionJurassic Park was an
immediate blockbuster and has gone on to become a multimedia
franchise with five sequels, theme park attractions, comic books,
toys, and more-including a set of trading cards released by Topps
in 1993 to tie into the film. This comprehensive collection of the
original trading card series-timed to publish alongside Jurassic
World: Dominion-includes the fronts and backs of all of these
classic cards, plus the special chase cards and rare promotional
material. The book also includes text and commentary by Gary
Gerani, editor of the original series, and an afterword by Chip
Kidd, who created and designed the cover of Michael Crichton's
Jurassic Park, which became the iconic logo for the franchise.
In a business world predominantly oriented toward the future, it
has paradoxically become ever more common that companies turn
towards their pasts. This book empirically explores the phenomenon
of organizational remembrance from a holistic cultural perspective.
Based on a twelve-month ethnographic case study conducted at the
headquarters of the German automobile company, AUDI AG, this study
dissects the relationships between memory, identity, and image in a
corporate setting. The greater aim in doing so is twofold: First,
this study examines exactly why and how a company officially
manages its past in terms of 'history' and 'tradition.' And second,
this study scrutinizes what effect organizational remembrance has
on the workforce - how it impacts their collective identification
with a corporate community and influences their understanding of
their daily working life. By investigating the interplay between
different stakeholder groups, as well as their practices, media,
mental models, and other vehicles of remembrance, an integrated
account is offered which makes sense of the complex cultural forces
at work in the corporate handling of the past, the present, and the
future.
We can hardly underestimate the importance of privacy in our
data-driven world. Privacy breaches are not just about disclosing
information. Personal data is used to profile and manipulate us -
sometimes on such a large scale that it affects society as a whole.
What can governments do to protect our privacy? In The Governance
of Privacy Hans de Bruijn first analyses the complexity of the
governance challenge, using the metaphor of a journey. At the
start, users have strong incentives to share data. Harvested data
continue the journey that might lead to a privacy breach, but not
necessarily - it can also lead to highly valued services. That is
why both preparedness at the start of the journey and resilience
during the journey are crucial to privacy protection. The book then
explores three strategies to deal with governments, the market, and
society. Governments can use the power of the law; they can exploit
the power of the market by stimulating companies to compete on
privacy; and they can empower society, strengthening its resilience
in a data-driven world.
A dazzling how-to adventure for young artists and writers "Playful,
artful, and at times, profound..." -Linda Booth Sweeney, EdD,
author of Connected Wisdom, Living Stories About Living Systems.
Celebrating the natural world and its symbols, Dreams to Dance in
Moonlight is a playful way to nurture the creative spirit in all of
us. It asks, "How does your imagination bloom?" and the story will
fire up a dialogue between children, parents, and teachers. With
visual-thinking strategies for drawing and writing, this book
offers lyrical prose and painterly riddles to engage young readers,
while its magical creatures and environments call for inventive
attention and stewardship. Beautifully illustrated with the
author's "dreamy...evocative" (School Library Journal) paintings,
every page contains a story. Wolves, tigers, cows, and condors
stare back from gorgeous landscapes, challenging readers: When is
what you see much more than what you think you see? When you awake
"This simple yet profound book of poetry, imagery, and challenge
will serve as a portal through which a child may become
reacquainted with his or her imagination that may one day develop
into a mature and confident enthusiasm."-Peter S. Dean, Professor
of Nature-Culture-Sustainability Studies, Rhode Island School of
Design.
Do our physical bodies really matter in corporate worship? Isn't
our soul the most important part of us? Aren't our bodies, at best,
negligible to worship and, at worst, a hindrance? The answer to
this last question is categorically no, as Christians have attested
throughout history and across the global church. The purpose of the
body instead is to offer to God in worship what only it can
offer--and what must be offered to God. By drawing on the wisdom of
the Bible, church history, and theology, and by taking advantage of
the unique insights of the arts and sciences, ethics, and spiritual
formation, a respected theologian and pastor argues in this book
that there is something for our physical bodies to do that
decisively forms Christlikeness in us within the context of
corporate worship. What we do with our postures, gestures, and
movements in worship matter. How our senses of sight, scent, sound,
taste, and touch are involved in worship matter. How our
spontaneous and prescriptive activities form us in worship matter.
All of it matters to faithful and fulsome worship for the sake of a
body that is fully alive in the praise of God.

a fresh and easy-to-understand style as he shares his passion to
know God and urges the reader to dig deep and seek the God who is

Have you ever known true joy? Do you have this joy in your life
right now? If you are longing for fulfillment, for true joy, please
read on--this tract may assist you in your quest. 1. God Created Us
For His Glory "Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the
end of the earth... whom I created for my glory" (Isaiah 43:6-7).
God made us to magnify his greatness--the way telescopes magnify
stars. He created us to put his goodness and truth and beauty and
wisdom and justice on display. The greatest display of God's glory
comes from deep delight in all that he is. This means that God gets
the praise and we get the pleasure. God created us so that he is
most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him. 2. Every
Human Should Live For God's Glory "So, whether you eat or drink, or
whatever you do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31).
If God made us for his glory, clearly we should live for his glory.
Our duty comes from his design. So our first obligation is to show
God's value by being satisfied with all that he is for us. This is
the essence of loving God (Matthew 22:37) and trusting him (1 John
5:3-4) and being thankful to him (Psalm 100:2-4). It is the root of
all true obedience, especially loving others (Colossians 1:4-5). 3.
All of Us Have Failed To Glorify God As We Should "All have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). What does it
mean to "fall short of the glory of God?" It means that none of us
has trusted and treasured God the way we should. We have not been
satisfied with his greatness and walked in his ways. We have sought
our satisfaction in other things and have treated them as more
valuable than God, which is the essence of idolatry (Romans
1:21-23). Since sin came into the world, we have all been deeply
resistant to having God as our all-satisfying treasure (Ephesians
2:3). This is an appalling offense to the greatness of God
(Jeremiah 2:12-13). 4. All Of Us Are Subject To God's Just
Condemnation "For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23). We
have all belittled the glory of God. How? By preferring other
things above him. By our ingratitude, distrust, and disobedience.
So God is just in shutting us out from the enjoyment of his glory
forever. "They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction,
away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might"
(2 Thessalonians 1:9). The word "hell" is used in the New Testament
twelve times--eleven times by Jesus himself. It is not a myth
created by dismal and angry preachers. It is a solemn warning from
the Son of God who died to deliver sinners from its curse. We
ignore it at great risk. If the Bible stopped here in its analysis
of the human condition, we would be doomed to a hopeless future.
However, this is not where it stops... 5. God Sent His Only Son
Jesus To Provide Eternal Life And Joy "The saying is trustworthy
and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the
world to save sinners..." (1 Timothy 1:15). The good news is that
Christ died for sinners like us. And he rose physically from the
dead to validate the saving power of his death and to open the
gates of eternal life and joy (1 Corinthians 15:20). This means God
can acquit guilty sinners and still be just (Romans 3:25-26). "For
Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the
unrighteous, that he might bring us to God" (1 Peter 3:18). Coming
home to God is where all deep and lasting satisfaction is found. 6.
The Benefits Purchased By The Death Of Christ Belong To Those Who
Repent And Trust Him "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your
sins may be blotted out" (Acts 3:19). "Believe in the Lord Jesus,
and you will be saved" (Acts 16:31). "Repent" means to turn from
all the deceitful promises of sin. "Faith" means being satisfied
with all that God promised to be for us in Jesus. "Whoever believes
in me," Jesus says, "shall never thirst" (John 6:35). We do not
earn our salvation. We cannot merit it (Romans 4:4-5). It is by
grace through faith that we are saved (Ephesians 2:8-9). It is a
free gift (Romans 3:24). We will have it if we cherish it enough to
receive it and treasure it above all things (Matthew 13:44). When
we do that, God's aim in creation is accomplished: He is glorified
in us and we are satisfied in him--forever. Does This Make Sense To
You? Do you desire the kind of gladness that comes from being
satisfied with all that God is for you in Jesus? If so, then God is
at work in your life. What Should You Do? Turn from the deceitful
promises of sin. Call upon Jesus to save you from the guilt and
punishment and bondage. "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord
will be saved" (Romans 10:13). Start banking your hope on all that
God is for you in Jesus. You can break the power of sin's promises
by putting your faith in the superior satisfaction of God's
promises. Begin reading the Bible to find his precious and very
great promises, which can set you free (2 Peter 1:3-4). Find a
Bible-believing church, and begin to worship and grow together with
other people who treasure Christ above all things (Philippians
3:7).

In a future in which the world is run by the Board of Corporations,
King's daughter, Athena, reckons with his legacy-literally, for he
has given her access to his memories, among other questionable
gifts. With climate change raging, Athena has come to believe that
saving the planet and its Shareholders will require a radical act
of communion-and so she sets out to tell the truth to the world's
Shareholders, in entrancing sensory detail, about King's childhood
on a South Indian coconut plantation; his migration to the U.S. to
study engineering in a world transformed by globalization; his

ambitious creation of his life-Athena herself. The Immortal King

literary and speculative fiction, the historic and the dystopian,
confronting how we arrived at the age of technological capitalism
and where our actions might take us next.
