We are currently experiencing the largest and fastest religious
shift in US history. It is greater than the First and Second Great
Awakening and every revival in our country combined but in the
opposite direction. Yet precious little rigorous study has been
done on the broad phenomenon of dechurching in America. Jim Davis
and Michael Graham have commissioned the largest and most
comprehensive study of dechurching in America by renowned
sociologists Dr. Ryan Burge and Dr. Paul Djupe. The Great
Dechurching takes the insights gleaned from this study to drill
down on how exactly people are dechurching with respect to beliefs,
behavior, and belonging. The Great Dechurching gives the church in
America its first ever deep dive into the dechurched phenomenon.
Readers will learn about the dechurched through a detailed sketch
of demographics, size, core concerns, church off-ramps, historical
roots, and the gravity of what is at stake. Then they will explore
what can be done to slow the bleed, engage the pertinent issues
winsomely and wisely, and hopefully re-church some of the
dechurched.
To be effective, data-intensive systems require extensive ongoing
customisation to reflect changing user requirements, organisational
policies, and the structure and interpretation of the data they
hold. Manual customisation is expensive, time-consuming, and
error-prone. In large complex systems, the value of the data can be
such that exhaustive testing is necessary before any new feature
can be added to the existing design. In most cases, the precise
details of requirements, policies and data will change during the
lifetime of the system, forcing a choice between expensive
modification and continued operation with an inefficient design.
Engineering Agile Big-Data Systems outlines an approach to dealing
with these problems in software and data engineering, describing a
methodology for aligning these processes throughout product
lifecycles. It discusses tools which can be used to achieve these
goals, and, in a number of case studies, shows how the tools and
methodology have been used to improve a variety of academic and
business systems.
America's favorite cat is back with this new value-priced edition of three-in-one comic strips (contains: Garfield Feeds His Face [#64], Garfield Eats and Runs [#65], and Garfield Nutty as a Fruitcake [#66]) together for the first time in color and super-sized!
When one Garfield isn't enough--there's only one thing better than a Garfield collection: three Garfield collections!
GARFIELD FEEDS HIS FACE: "Eat early and often"--that's the credo of the furry fatso. Garfield fans who are gluttons for fun will want to indulge themselves in this meaty new collection of rib-tickling comics.
GARFIELD EATS AND RUNS: For Garfield, eating is a full-contact sport. Boasting an Olympic-sized appetite, the famished feline dives into each meal with the heart--and mouth--of a champion.
GARFIELD NUTTY AS A FRUITCAKE: What kind of house does Garfield live in? A nuthouse, of course! The Arbuckle home is located just around the bend, where Jon and his wacky pets display their mad skills for having fun!
The popularity of the comic performers of late-Georgian and Regency
England and their frequent depiction in portraits, caricatures and
prints is beyond dispute, yet until now little has been written on
the subject. In this unique study Jim Davis considers the
representation of English low comic actors, such as Joseph Munden,
John Liston, Charles Mathews and John Emery, in the visual arts of
the period, the ways in which such representations became part of
the visual culture of their time, and the impact of visual
representation and art theory on prose descriptions of comic
actors. Davis reveals how many of the actors discussed also
exhibited or collected paintings and used painterly techniques to
evoke the world around them. Drawing particularly on the influence
of Hogarth and Wilkie, he goes on to examine portraiture as
critique and what the actors themselves represented in terms of
notions of national and regional identity.
The Cambridge Companion to the Circus provides a complete guide for
students, scholars, teachers, researchers, and practitioners who
are seeking perspectives on the foundations and evolution of the
modern circus, the contemporary extent of circus studies, and the
specialised literature available to support further enquiries. The
volume brings together an international group of established and
emerging scholars working across the multi-disciplinary domain of
circus studies to present a clear overview of the specialised
histories, aesthetics and distinctive performances of the modern
circus. In sixteen commissioned essays, it covers the origins in
commercial equestrian performance during the late-eighteenth
century to contemporary inflections of circus arts in major
international festivals, educational environments, and social
justice settings.

During the eighteenth century, theatrical writing developed as a
genre. The publishing market responded to a seemingly insatiable
appetite for accounts of the personalities, social lives and
performances of celebrated entertainers. This series features
actors who were significant in their development of new ways of
performing Shakespeare.

Slang Across Societies is an introductory reference work and
textbook which aims to acquaint readers with key themes in the
study of youth, criminal and colloquial language practices.
Focusing on key questions such as speaker identity and motivations,
perceptions of use and users, language variation, and attendant
linguistic manipulations, the book identifies and discusses more
than 20 in-group and colloquial varieties from no fewer than 16
different societies worldwide. Suitable for advanced undergraduate
and postgraduate students working in areas of slang, lexicology,
lexicography, sociolinguistics and youth studies, Slang Across
Societies brings together extensive research on youth, criminal and
colloquial language from different parts of the world.
Computing systems are becoming highly complex, harder to
understand, and therefore more prone to failure. Where such systems
control aircraft for example, system failure could have disastrous
consequences. It is important therefore that we are able to employ
mathematical techniques to specify the behavior of critical
systems. This thesis uses the theory of Communicating Sequential
Processes to show how a real-time system (a system that maintains a
continuous interaction with its environment) may be specified.
Included is a case study in which a local area network protocol is
described at two levels of abstraction, and a general method for
structuring CSP descriptions of layered protocols is given. The
research contained here represents the very latest work on the
specification and verification of real-time systems.
