Many of us have received the Gift of Salvation, but we have not
realized the privileges that come along with that Gift. Discover or
rediscover what it means to be of the Beloved. The authors first
book To God be the Glory, Honor and Praise and this book were both
born out of the Bible studies which she has taught over the years.
From the lessons she has learned as a leader in womens ministry and
in Bible study, she had the desire to share them with others. It is
through Gods Word and His Holy Spirit that He has spoken to her
heart the words found in her poetry and inspirational readings.
In the era of the appeasement of the dictators, Samuel Untermyer
stands out as a champion of the human rights of not just German
Jewry, but of other persecuted communities in Germany such as trade
unionists, Roman Catholics and Freemasons. This is the first full
biography of Untermyer, a prominent Wall Street lawyer who founded
the principles on which Jewish democratic politics still stands
today. The first to oppose Hitler, he organised the anti-Nazi
league in the early 1930s, and proposed a unique global
socialist/capitalist worldview which still informs American
politics today.
This benchmark text integrates the recent revolution in the molecular-developmental genetics of plants with mainstream evolutionary thought. There is increasing cooperation between strongly genomics-influenced researchers, with their strong grasp of technology - and evolutionary morphogenetists and systematists who are more deeply rooted in comparative biology and patterns of plant evolution. This book discusses our increasing understanding of gene function and expression, along with modern phylogenies integrating morphological and molecular data to highlight specific key transitions in plant evolution most worthy of intensive study. Furthermore, it explores increasing knowledge of the physical expression of plant development from disciplines such as anatomy and palaeobotany. Rather than focus on the technical aspects of plant genomics, this book provides genuinely integrated explanations of plant evolution. This leading panel of contributors have succeeded in turning a demanding subject into an accessible volume for a wide range of professional botanists and postgraduates and senior undergraduates in developmental biology, applied molecular biology, molecular evolution, morphogenesis, organismal botany and theoretical systematics.
Jewish Fantasy Worldwide: Trends in Speculative Stories from
Australia to Chile reaches beyond American fiction to reveal a
spectrum of Jewish fantasy. The essays in this collection cover
speculative works by Jewish artists and about Jewish characters
from a broad range of national contexts, including post-Holocaust
Europe, the Soviet Union, Chile, French Canada, and the Middle
East. The authors consider various media including fiction, film,
Youtube videos, and fan sites. For scholars and fans alike, this
collection of essays will provide new perspectives on Jewish
presences in speculative fiction around the world.
This book explores academic learning theories in relation to modern
cognitive research. It suggests that developing a feelings and
emotion-based learning theory could improve our understanding of
human learning behavior. Jennifer A. Hawkins argues that feelings
are rational in individuals' own terms and should be
considered-whether or not we agree with them. She examines
learners' experiences and posits that feelings and emotions are
logical to individuals according to their current beliefs,
memories, and knowledge. This volume provides rich case studies and
empirical data, and shows that acknowledging feelings during and
after learning experiences helps to solve cognitive difficulties
and aids motivation and self-reflection. It also demonstrates
various ways to record and analyze feelings to provide useful
research evidence.
Political parties provide a crucial link between voters and
politicians. This link takes a variety of forms in democratic
regimes, from the organization of political machines built around
clientelistic networks to the establishment of sophisticated
programmatic parties. Latin American Party Systems provides a novel
theoretical argument to account for differences in the degree to
which political party systems in the region were programmatically
structured at the end of the twentieth century. Based on a diverse
array of indicators and surveys of party legislators and public
opinion, the book argues that learning and adaptation through
fundamental policy innovations are the main mechanisms by which
politicians build programmatic parties. Marshalling extensive
evidence, the book s analysis shows the limits of alternative
explanations and substantiates a sanguine view of programmatic
competition, nevertheless recognizing that this form of party
system organization is far from ubiquitous and enduring in Latin
America.
Populism is on the rise in Europe and the Americas. Scholars
increasingly understand populist forces in terms of their ideas or
discourse, one that envisions a cosmic struggle between the will of
the common people and a conspiring elite. In this volume, we
advance populism scholarship by proposing a causal theory and
methodological guidelines - a research program - based on this
ideational approach. This program argues that populism exists as a
set of widespread attitudes among ordinary citizens, and that these
attitudes lie dormant until activated by weak democratic governance
and policy failure. It offers methodological guidelines for
scholars seeking to measure populist ideas and test their effects.
And, to ground the program empirically, it tests this theory at
multiple levels of analysis using original data on populist
discourse across European and US party systems; case studies of
populist forces in Europe, Latin America, and the US; survey data
from Europe and Latin America; and experiments in Chile, the US,
and the UK. The result is a truly systematic, comparative approach
that helps answer questions about the causes and effects of
populism.
How is the staggering biodiversity of the parasitoid insects
maintained? This book, first published in 1994, explores patterns
in host-parasitoid interactions, including parasitoid community
richness, the importance of parasitoids as mortality factors, and
their impact on host densities as determined by the outcomes of
parasitoid introductions for biological control. It documents
general patterns using data sets generated from the global
literature and evaluates potential underlying biological,
ecological and evolutionary mechanisms. A theme running throughout
the book is the importance of host refuges as a major constraint on
host-parasitoid interactions. Much can be learnt from the analysis
of broad patterns; a few simple rules can go a long way in
explaining the major components of these interactions. This book
will be an invaluable resource for researchers interested in
community ecology, population biology, entomology and biological
control.

In this book John A. Hawkins argues that major patterns of
variation across languages are structured by general principles of
efficiency in language use and communication. Evidence for these
comes from languages permitting structural options from which
selections are made in performance, e.g. between competing word
orders and between relative clauses with a resumptive pronoun
versus a gap. The preferences and patterns of performance within
languages are reflected, he shows, in the fixed conventions and
variation patterns across grammars, leading to a
'Performance-Grammar Correspondence Hypothesis'. Hawkins extends
and updates the general theory that he laid out in Efficiency and
Complexity in Grammars (OUP 2004): new areas of grammar and
performance are discussed, new research findings are incorporated
that test his earlier predictions, and new advances in the
contributing fields of language processing, linguistic theory,
historical linguistics, and typology are addressed. This efficiency
approach to variation has far-reaching theoretical consequences
relevant to many current issues in the language sciences. These
include the notion of ease of processing and how to measure it, the
role of processing in language change, the nature of language
universals and their explanation, the theory of complexity, the
relative strength of competing and cooperating principles, and the
proper definition of fundamental grammatical notions such as
'dependency'. The book also offers a new typology of VO and OV
languages and their correlating properties seen from this
perspective, and a new typology of the noun phrase and of argument
structure.

The multitrophic level approach to ecology addresses the complexity of food webs much more realistically than the traditional focus on simple systems and interactions. Only in the last twenty years have ecologists become interested in the nature of more complex systems including tritrophic interactions between plants, herbivores, and natural enemies. These interactions are explored in this exciting new volume by expert researchers from a variety of ecological fields. This book provides a much-needed synthesis of multitrophic level interactions and serves as a guide for future research for ecologists of all descriptions.
This book addresses a question fundamental to any discussion of
grammatical theory and grammatical variation: to what extent can
principles of grammar be explained through language use? John A.
Hawkins argues that there is a profound correspondence between
performance data and the fixed conventions of grammars. Preferences
and patterns found in the one, he shows, are reflected in
constraints and variation patterns in the other. The theoretical
consequences of the proposed 'performance-grammar correspondence
hypothesis' are far-reaching -- for current grammatical formalisms,
for the innateness hypothesis, and for psycholinguistic models of
performance and learning. Drawing on empirical generalizations and
insights from language typology, generative grammar,
psycholinguistics, and historical linguistics, Professor Hawkins
demonstrates that the assumption that grammars are immune to
performance is false.

and arguments for an alternative theory in which performance has
shaped the conventions of grammars and thus the variation patterns
found in the world's languages. The innateness of language, he
argues, resides primarily in the mechanisms human beings have for
processing and learning it. This important book will interest
researchers in linguistics (including typology and universals,
syntax, grammatical theory, historical linguistics, functional
linguistics, and corpus linguistics), psycholinguistics (including
parsing, production, and acquisition), computational linguistics
(including language-evolution modelling and electronic corpus
development); and cognitive science (including the modeling of the
performance-competence relationship, pragmatics, and relevance
theory).
The Hawaiian pineapple industry emerged in the late nineteenth
century as part of an attempt to diversify the Hawaiian economy
from dependence on sugar cane as its only staple industry. Here,
economic historian Richard A. Hawkins presents a definitive history
of an industry from its modest beginnings to its emergence as a
major contributor to the American industrial narrative. He traces
the rise and fall of the corporate giants who dominated the global
canning world for much of the twentieth century. Drawing from a
host of familiar economic models and an unparalleled body of
research, Hawkins analyses the entrepreneurial development and
twentieth-century migration of the pineapple canning industry in
Hawaii. The result is not only a comprehensive history, but also a
unique story of American innovation and ingenuity amid the rising
tides of globalization.

The Retailer's Play-book on How to Beat Walmart - This book
discusses how big-box retailers such as Walmart have made great
improvements in managing their inventory, literally forcing their
suppliers to conform to item-level inventory control, which is the
main reason for their overwhelming success, and why small to
medium-size retailers continue to follow the wrong path. Any
retailer who reads this book should come away with an understanding
of the importance of item-level inventory control, and how to adopt
a plan to migrate to it as quickly as possible; because in times
like these, where tremendous economic changes threaten all of us,
if a change in methods is not made quickly, we will see more and
more retailers closing up shop and heading to the bankruptcy
courts. Yes, Walmart can be beaten! We just need to learn how to
beat them at their own game.
