Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It contains classical literature works from over two thousand years. Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of international literature classics available in printed format again - worldwide.

RECLAIM THE POWER OF TRADITION! "Holt Clarke understand that the tradition of Jesus was about getting the Church into the world - not the world into the church." Michael Slaughter, Pastor Ginhamsburg Church "Some think that TRADITION IS PAST, but when you read Holt Clarke's book, you will realize that TRADITION IS CONTEMPORARY and it has a 'Power Point' that sustains you for the FUTURE." Dr. Dennis Swanberg America's Minister of Encouragement www.dennisswanberg.com "Holt Clarke's book is a must have discipleship resource for thoughtful laypersons and clergy alike. The theological depth and creative thinking will equip and empower pastors, teachers, and laypeople for the church's mission of transforming the world." Younglae Kim, Ph.D Professor of Christian Education Methodist Theological Seminary Seoul, Korea

Renewable energy is important as a substitute for finite fossil fuels and inflexible nuclear power and could conceivably power the world. However, this is challenging as the world is currently 80% dependent on fossil fuels, and renewable sources produce only about 15% of total energy. Conversion technologies for use with many of the eight different primary sources of renewable energy are only just emerging as viable technologies. While renewable energy sources will not run out, and their use involves little or no release of carbon dioxide or ionising wastes, they do have local environmental impacts of their own. This book analyses the nature of environmental impacts from renewable sources. A novel method of assessing impacts is explored based on a set of parameters centred on how diffuse or concentrated the energy flow is. The approach that is developed will inform engineers, designers, policy makers and planners as well as researchers in the area.

This book provides radiology trainees a valuable insight into the new Final Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists (FRCR) Part A examination format. It is a comprehensive collection of practice questions to aid thorough preparation for the examination.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Algorithmic Learning Theory, ALT 2014, held in Bled, Slovenia, in October 2014, and co-located with the 17th International Conference on Discovery Science, DS 2014. The 21 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. In addition the book contains 4 full papers summarizing the invited talks. The papers are organized in topical sections named: inductive inference; exact learning from queries; reinforcement learning; online learning and learning with bandit information; statistical learning theory; privacy, clustering, MDL, and Kolmogorov complexity.

This book explores the linkages between Amartya Sen's Capability Approach and participatory forms of development - especially those associated with critical pedagogy and empowerment from the bottom-up. It shows how the capability approach and the participatory movement can complement and reinforce each other helping to ensure that democratic principles are respected and become the foundation for sustainable human development. The Capability Approach provides guiding principles for protecting the transformative roots of participation (safeguarding ownership, accountability and empowerment), while participation delivers vital methods for making the Capability Approach operational. Divided into three overlapping parts that focus on concepts, methods and applications, this work draws on diverse fieldwork experiences to unpack power relations, address adaptive preferences, explore individual and collective agency, consider new partnerships for development, and develop innovative concepts.

Reflecting the latest change to the examination, the introduction of single best answer questions (SBAs), this book is completely up-to-date and offers a valuable insight into the new examination format. Providing candidates with a wealth of practice questions and organised by subject matter in the module format, this comprehensive collection of practice SBAs is designed to help candidates test and assess their own knowledge, aiding thorough preparation for the exam. The book opens with an introduction to the exam and includes advice on how to prepare for it and information on what to expect. It also offers helpful advice on question comprehension and answer strategies to help candidates achieve exam success. Written by practising specialist registrars and junior consultants in radiology, and supplemented with detailed explanatory text referenced to major radiology journals and specialist textbooks, Get Through Final FRCR Part A: SBAs is the ideal revision tool for all specialist registrars taking the final FRCR examination.

This interdisciplinary new work explores one of the central theoretical problems in linguistics: learnability. The authors, from different backgrounds--linguistics, philosophy, computer science, psychology and cognitive science-explore the idea that language acquisition proceeds through general purpose learning mechanisms, an approach that is broadly empiricist both methodologically and psychologically. For many years, the empiricist approach has been taken to be unfeasible on practical and theoretical grounds. In the book, the authors present a variety of precisely specified mathematical and computational results that show that empiricist approaches can form a viable solution to the problem of language acquisition. It assumes limited technical background and explains the fundamental principles of probability, grammatical description and learning theory in an accessible and non-technical way. Different chapters address the problem of language acquisition using different assumptions: looking at the methodology of linguistic analysis using simplicity based criteria, using computational experiments on real corpora, using theoretical analysis using probabilistic learning theory, and looking at the computational problems involved in learning richly structured grammars. Written by four researchers in the full range of relevant fields: linguistics (John Goldsmith), psychology (Nick Chater), computer science (Alex Clark), and cognitive science (Amy Perfors), the book sheds light on the central problems of learnability and language, and traces their implications for key questions of theoretical linguistics and the study of language acquisition.
