Comprehensive, but using simple language, this book will be of
interest to all Christian denominations. The Apostles Creed is
discussed and explained by devoting a chapter to each article or
phrase of the creed. The first chapter, on belief in God, sets the
book in a multicultural context. All chapters contain topics for
discussion and activities which may be used by church groups.
Tells of the life and work of thirty characters in the Bible who
were convinced that they had received a divine calling. The author,
a well-known poet and former lecturer in Religious Studies, has set
these stories in a modern verse style, and in accessible language.
The text brings out, in a poetic and highly readable way, the
personal thoughts and tribulations of the characters as they seek
to fulfil God's command and to follow the path of their vocation.
While the text follows the Old Testament and Jewish biblical
narratives, it adds dimensions of poetic licence to bring out the
characterization of the personalities and their stories in a way
that highlights their conviction that God supports them in all
their activities. Essentially, the text is a celebration of the
imaginative powers and insight of these characters, achieved
through a structured, rhythmical, poetic verse form. The book is an
ideal introduction to the OT stories, and can be used for teaching
purposes prior to reading the Bible proper, or as verse prose in
their own right.

experimental cryogenics device, only to be revived in the
computer-driven, superhero movie-loving world of 2019--an era ruled
by nerds! "Evokes vintage Hollywood hits such as Revenge of the
Nerds, Weird Science, Real Genius, Back to the Future and The
Breakfast Club. The story: Three high school jocks in the 1980s are
accidentally frozen by an experimental cryogenics device, only to
be revived in the tech-driven, superhero-loving, empathy-counseling
world of 2019 - in other words, an era shaped by the nerds they
once tormented... the art team of Alan Robinson and Randy Elliott
(with covers by David Nakayama) have plenty of fun with scenes
keyed to 1980s popcorn classics.."--DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD "PLANET OF
THE NERDS #1 captures the goofy joy of 80s classics like Revenge of
the Nerds, Back To The Future, and Real Genius. Then, with the most
elegant of plot twists, it updates the story for a different age.
Smart, fast paced and beautifully drawn."- Gene Ha (Mae) "Highly
satisfying.... (with) sharp writing from Constant and well-executed
art from Robinson and Elliott, plus spectacular coloring from
Sobreiro."-- COMICS BEAT "We all know that nerds won the great
nerd/jock battle of the 80s, but what if a bunch of Jocks were
frozen in time and emerged not knowing the war was over? That's the
question Planet of the Nerds asks, and the answer is, ironically,
delightfully nerdy nerdy fun."-Arthur Wyatt, (Judge Dredd) "Clever
and profound." - io9 "This is a really good bit." - Daniel
Kibblesmith (Santa's Husband) "Ahoy has found a way to simply
revitalize comics by going back to basics. Amazing writing and
stunning interior artwork."- READING WITH A FLIGHT RING "Paul
Constant's writing is witty and insightful." - POP CULTURE SQUAD
"The art by Robinson and the colors by Sobreiro conspire to provide
just the right retro look reminiscent of the work of Ed Piskor."--
COMICS GRINDER "AHOY's offerings so far have been a celebration of
a comic world won by all us geeks. Planet of the Nerds continues
that creatively invigorating streak while also serving as a
cleverly written, beautifully illustrated cautionary tale for
non-comics bullies everywhere." - Chris Ryall, President &
Publisher/CCO, IDW Publishing

"......as computing moves away from the desktop and into our hands, we demand ever-higher reliability. Device manufacturers and service providers can no longer afford to think in terms of proprietary systems. They think instead of open standards and cross-platform Java technology." From the foreword by Greg Papadopoulos, CTO, Sun Microsystems, Inc. Java is the preferred language for developing applications and services on the Symbian OS: It is a powerful programming environment that enables fast, secure deployment of applications and services onto a wide range of wireless devices. Symbian's Java implementation gives developers access to key wireless technologies, including telephony, contacts management, calendaring, Datagram messaging and power monitoring. Complete with numerous illustrative and real-world examples, this 'from-the-source' guide provides developers with authoritative, practical and timely information on: - using the Symbian Software Development Kits.
- the JavaPhone and Personal Java APIs, and how they are implemented.
- writing efficient and optimized code for constrained devices.
- understanding and working with Java on Communicator reference designs.
- creating games.
- accessing native functionality through JNI (Java Native Interface).
- creating wireless services.
- operator and service provider issues, including security, provisioning, rapid and reliable development.
The book also contains contributions from Colin Turfus, Lucy Sweet, Alan Robinson and John Bown of Symbian and wireless case studies from Digia Oy (A Symbian Competence Center) and Telenor R&D.
Patriotism and religious belief were defining characteristics of
both public and private life during the 20th century. British army
chaplains were shaped by these powerful sentiments and in turn
shaped and interpreted them to understand their own roles and to
provide a message and ministry to soldiers and officers. Focusing
on World War II, "Chaplains at War" reveals how the army, the
government and the churches responded to the challenges of war,
leading to innovation that was unknown in peace time such as the
appointing women as Chaplains' Assistants. Alan Robinson uses
interviews with former chaplains, officers and soldiers and
extensive archive research in military, government and church
archives to draw together personal experience and official policy.
His book will be essential reading for anyone interested in British
military history, church history and religious studies.
