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.

Articulates a learning process to help Christians improve
approaches to understanding other religious traditions.
Understanding Other Religious Worlds is built on the difference
between learning facts about other religions and understanding them
and their followers in a wholistic manner. Berling argues that
incorporating the religious "other" in one's own Christian identity
is integral to living an authentic Christian life.
The volume features high-quality papers based on the presentations
at the ICOSAHOM 2020+1 on spectral and high order methods. The
carefully reviewed articles cover state of the art topics in high
order discretizations of partial differential equations. The volume
presents a wide range of topics including the design and analysis
of high order methods, the development of fast solvers on modern
computer architecture, and the application of these methods in
fluid and structural mechanics computations.
This book scrutinizes how contemporary practices of security have
come to rely on many different translations of security, risk, and
danger. Institutions of national security policies are currently
undergoing radical conceptual and organisational changes, and this
book presents a novel approach for how to study and politically
address the new situation. Complex and uncertain threat
environments, such as terrorism, climate change, and the global
financial crisis, have paved the way for new forms of security
governance that have profoundly transformed the ways in which
threats are handled today. Crucially, there is a decentralisation
of the management of security, which is increasingly handled by a
broad set of societal actors that previously were not considered
powerful in the conduct of security affairs. This transformation of
security knowledge and management changes the meaning of
traditional concepts and practices, and calls for investigation
into the many meanings of security implied when contemporary
societies manage radical dangers, risks, and threats. It is
necessary to study both what these meanings are and how they
developed from the security practices of the past. Addressing this
knowledge gap, the book asks how different ideas about threats,
risk, and dangers meet in the current practices of security,
broadly understood, and with what political consequences. This book
will be of interest to students of critical security studies,
anthropology, risk studies, science and technology studies and
International Relations. The Open Access version of this book,

This timely study deals with the heating and cooling of buildings
using innovative systems that can reduce fossil fuel and electric
energy requirements by as much as 80 percent. It also deals with
promises and problems of solar energy use for efficient comfort
conditioning.
Architecture and urban design are rarely considered as technology,
but more frequently as a result of artistic creativity performed by
gifted individuals. Postphenomenology and Architecture: Human
Technology Relations in the Built Environment considers buildings
and cities as technologies, from a postphenomenological
perspective. This book argues that buildings and the furniture of
cities-like bike lanes, benches, and bus stops-are inscribed in a
conceptual framework of multistability, which is to say that they
fulfill different purposes over time. Yet, there are qualities in
the built environment that are long lasting and immutable, and
transcend temporal functionality and ephemeral efficiency. The
contributors show how different perceptions, practices, and
interpretations are tangible and visible as we engage with these
technologies. In addition, several of the chapters critically
assess the influence of Martin Heidegger in modern philosophy of
architecture., this book reads Heidegger in the perspective of
architecture and urban design as technology, shedding light on what
it means to build and dwell.
