First published in 1982. This book brings together some of the most
influential articles which had moulded British religious education.
The articles are divided into specialised sections dealing with
various aspects of the subject so that the main developments are
clearly indicated. The first section of the book deals with
research into the religious psychology of childhood. This is
followed by two collections of articles dealing with the search for
a philosophy of religious education and with the problems created
for the teaching of religion in Britain by our pluralist society.
The fourth section deals with the problems of designing a
curriculum in religious education, while the final part gives some
examples of methods in the teaching of religion. The book thus
provides, both the general reader, the student teacher and the
specialist religious education teacher, an easily accessible
collection of many of the materials which had created British
religious education.
A rediscovered modern classic: a life-affirming account of one
man's journey into blindness 'A gift to the whole of humanity'
Cathy Rentzenbrink Days before the birth of his first son, writer
and academic John M. Hull started to go blind. He would lose his
sight entirely, unable to distinguish any sense of light or shadow.
Isolated and claustrophobic, he sank into a deep depression. Soon,
he had forgotten what his wife and daughter looked like. In Notes
on Blindness, John reveals his profound sense of loss, his altered
perceptions of time and space, of waking and sleeping, love and
companionship. With astonishing lucidity of thought and no
self-pity, he describes the horror of being faceless, and asks what
it truly means to be a husband and father. And eventually, he finds
a new way of experiencing the world, of seeing the light. Based on
John's diaries recorded on audio tape, this is a profoundly moving,
wise and life-affirming account of one man's journey into
blindness. 'Poignant and wise' Andrew Solomon Published in
partnership with Wellcome Collection.

Solutions to the Questions and Problems in Options, Futures, and
Other Derivatives 8e, published by Pearson, are provided in this
Student Solutions Manual.
For courses in derivatives, options and futures, financial
engineering, financial mathematics, and risk management. An Easily
Understandable Introduction to Futures and Options Markets
Fundamentals of Futures and Options Markets covers much of the same
material as Hull's acclaimed title, Options, Futures, and Other
Derivatives. However, this text simplifies the language for a less
mathematically sophisticated audience. Omitting calculus
completely, the book is suitable for any graduate or undergraduate
course in business, economics, and other faculties.
In recent years, the technology of cryogenic comminution has been
widely applied in the field of chemical engineering, food making,
medicine production, and particularly in recycling of waste
materials. Because of the increasing pollution of waste tires and
the shortage of raw rubber resource, the recycling process for
waste rubber products has become important and commercially viable.
This technology has shown a great number of advantages such as
causing no environmental pollution, requiring low energy
consumption and producing high quality products. Hence, the normal
crusher which was used to reclaim materials, such as waste tires,
nylon, plastic and many polymer materials at atmospheric 12
temperature is being replaced by a cryogenic crusher. * In the
cryogenic crusher, the property of the milled material is usually
very sensitive to temperature change. When a crusher is in
operation, it will generate a great deal of heat that causes the
material temperature increased. Once the temperature increases over
the vitrification temperature, the material property will change
and lose the brittle behavior causing the energy consumption to
rise sharply. Consequently, the comminution process cannot be
continued. Therefore, it is believed that the cryogenic crusher is
the most critical component in the cryogenic comminution system.
The research on the temperature increase and energy consumption in
the cryogenic crusher is not only to reduce the energy consumption
of the crasher, but also to reduce the energy consumption of the
cryogenic system.

A scientist's recollection of his life as a junior member of the
Manhattan Project, Rider of the Pale Horse recounts McAllister
Hull's involvement in various nuclear-related enterprises during
and after World War II. Fresh from a summer job working with
explosives in the chemistry department of an ordnance plant, Hull
was drafted in 1943, after his freshman year in college. Unlike
other accounts written by scientists and historians of that era,
Hull's narrative offers a realistic picture of the dangerous and
messy job that GIs and civilian powdermen were asked to do. Hull's
description of his postwar work supporting the Bikini Atoll tests
in the Pacific and the early concerns about the effects of a
hydrogen bomb explosion illuminate the Dark Age of nuclear
weaponry. John Hull's illustrations show technicians and scientists
at work and bring the story to life.
Over the last five decades American cities have been transformed as
profoundly and tumultuously as they were during the industrial
revolution. In contrast to that earlier era, this contemporary
transformation has been stimulated and guided by governmental
intervention. John H. Mollenkopf analyzes the government programs
and the supporting political coalitions that made this intervention
possible. His book shows how the success of these programs,
developed largely by urban liberal Democrats, led to new conflicts
that ultimately undermined urban development policy. Using Boston
and San Francisco as case studies, the author shows how urban
development programs influenced and were influenced by big-city
politics. He denies that the current impasse in national politics
and urban development stems from technical inadequacies in existing
policies. Instead, he argues, it results from failure to reconcile
the conflicting interests of dominant urban economic institutions
and the urban populace--a failure that led not only to the collapse
of the postwar urban development consensus but to the disarray of
the Democratic party itself. His suggestions as to how consensus
can be restored will fascinate anyone concerned with the future of
American politics and the American city.
In the years following its near-bankruptcy in 1976 until the end
of the 1980s, New York City came to epitomize the debt-driven,
deal-oriented, economic boom of the Reagan era. Exploring the
interplay between social structural change and political power
during this period, John Mollenkopf asks why a city with a large
minority population and a long tradition of liberalism elected a
conservative mayor who promoted real-estate development and
belittled minority activists. Through a careful analysis of voting
patterns, political strategies of various interest groups, and
policy trends, he explains how Mayor Edward Koch created a powerful
political coalition and why it ultimately failed.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Medical theory and
practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the
extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases,
their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology,

Shortly after John Hull went blind, after years of struggling with
failing vision, he had a dream in which he was trapped on a sinking
ship, submerging into another, unimaginable world. The power of
this calmly eloquent, intensely perceptive memoir lies in its
thorough navigation of the world of blindness -- a world in which
stairs are safe and snow is frightening, where food and sex lose
much of their allure and playing with one's child may be
agonizingly difficult. As he describes the ways in which blindness
shapes his experience of his wife and children, of strangers
helpful and hostile, and, above all, of his God, Hull becomes a
witness in the highest, true sense. Touching the Rock is a book
that will instruct, move, and profoundly transform anyone who reads
it.
"John Hull goes a long way toward taking us with him through his
descent into total blindness...He lets us see with no trace of
self-pity or self-praise how blindness has become far him a genuine
acquisition, an unforeseeably rich gift that has made of him what
so few of us are: excellent watchers and hearers of the
world...triumphant in the teeth of ruin". -- Reynolds Price
This text represents how academia and real-world practice have come

This popular course text is considered to be the bible by
practitioners.
In A Child Sees God, Howard Worsley explores how we can all learn
from a child's perspective of the world and shows how a child's eye
view of the Bible reveals many interesting ideas about ethics and
morality, and provides new ways of understanding these ancient
stories. By asking families to read Bible stories to their children
and discuss these stories with them, recording the ensuing
conversations, Howard Worsley offers not only fresh insights into
the meaning and significance of these stories but also reflections
on how adults can use the Biblical text in the company of children
at different stages of development. Following the theory that all
stories ever written fall into one of seven categories, this book
shows that the themes of the Bible are no different, dividing
stories into sections containing texts of wonder, adventure and
leadership, terror, justice and judgement, comfort and hope,
comedy, and mercy and forgiveness. This fresh look at the Bible
through the eyes of children will be a fascinating read for
parents, teachers, ministers, and anyone with an interest in child
spirituality or ethics.
