An insight into the changing nature of the industrial and business
space property market and how business space development schemes
can be initiated and implemented to revitalise urban areas.
The purpose of this book is to assess the changing nature of the
industrial and business space property market which has developed
out of the recession of the early 1980s. It also shows how business
space development schemes can be implemented to revitalize urban
areas. It covers the investment and development market, how schemes
are financed and the different techniques used to appraise their
financial viability, the layout and design characteristics of
industrial workshop and business space developments of all sizes,
the influences of central government's economic fiscal and planning
policy, local authority iniatives to revitalize inner urban areas
and the variety of methods used to implement new development
including partnerships and negotiated solution.
Ruskin grew up in suburban London; in later life, he settled in the
Lake District . Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle moved in the opposite
direction - from rural Scotland to London's Cheyne Walk. This title
focuses on writers for whom 'the centre' was a pressing concern.

The increasing power and decreasing price of smalI computers,
especialIy "personal" computers, has made them increasingly popular
in statistical analysis. The day may not be too far off when every
statistician has on his or her desktop computing power on a par
with the large mainframe computers of 15 or 20 years ago. These
same factors make it relatively easy to acquire and manipulate
large quantities of data, and statisticians can expect a
corresponding increase in the size of the datasets that they must
analyze. Unfortunately, because of constraints imposed by
architecture, size or price, these smalI computers do not possess
the main memory of their large cousins. Thus, there is a growing
need for algorithms that are sufficiently economical of space to
permit statistical analysis on smalI computers. One area of
analysis where there is a need for algorithms that are economical
of space is in the fitting of linear models.
The Oxford Handbook of Mystical Theology provides a guide to the
mystical element of Christianity as a theological phenomenon. It
differs not only from psychological and anthropological studies of
mysticism, but from other theological studies, such as more
practical or pastorally-oriented works that examine the patterns of
spiritual progress and offer counsel for deeper understanding and
spiritual development. It also differs from more explicitly
historical studies tracing the theological and philosophical
contexts and ideas of various key figures and schools, as well as
from literary studies of the linguistic tropes and expressive forms
in mystical texts. None of these perspectives is absent, but the
method here is more deliberately theological, working from within
the fundamental interests of Christian mystical writers to the
articulation of those interests in distinctively theological forms,
in order, finally, to permit a critical theological engagement with
them for today. Divided into four parts, the first section
introduces the approach to mystical theology and offers a
historical overview. Part two attends to the concrete context of
sources and practices of mystical theology. Part three moves to the
fundamental conceptualities of mystical thought. The final section
ends with the central contributions of mystical teaching to
theology and metaphysics. Students and scholars with a variety of
interests will find different pathways through the Handbook.
By the time of early modernity, a widely deployed tenet of
Christian thought had begun to vanish. The divine ideas tradition,
the teaching that all beings have an eternal existence as aspects
of God's mind, had functioned across a wide range of central
Christian doctrines, providing Christian thinkers and mystical
teachers with a powerful theological capacity: to illuminate the
Trinitarian ground of all creatures, and to renew the divine truth
of all creatures through human contemplation. Already by the time
of the Middle Platonists, Plato's forms had been reinterpreted as
ideas in the mind of God. Yet that was only the beginning of the
transformation of the divine ideas, for Christian belief in God as
Trinity and in the incarnation of the Word imbued the divine ideas
tradition with a remarkable conceptual agility. The divine ideas
teaching allowed mystical theologians to conceive the hidden
presence of God in all creatures, and the power of every creature's
truth in God to consummate the full dynamic of every creature's
calling. The Divine Ideas Tradition in Christian Mystical Theology
brings to life the striking role of the divine ideas tradition in
the teaching of its central exponents, and also suggests how the
divine ideas might constructively inform Christian theology and
spirituality today. Especially in an age of global crises, when the
truth of the natural environment, of racial injustice, and of
public health is denied and disputed for political ends, the divine
ideas tradition affords contemporary thinkers a creative and
contemplative vision that reveres the deep truth of all beings and
seeks their mending and fulfilment.

Mark McIntosh's examination of the unique christological thought of
twentieth-century theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar provides a
valuable example of how christology and spirituality can come
together to offer a more humanistic idea of Christ.
