Sandinistas is about the Nicaraguan revolution and the party that
leads it, the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN). In the
early chapters of the book, author Dennis Gilbert tell who the
Sandinistas are and what they believe. He probes the inner workings
of the FSLN and the party's relations with the organized masses,
the military and the revolutionary state. The second half of the
book examines the Sandinistas in action, as they deal with
peasants, businessmen, Christians, and Yankees. The final chapter
covers the history of US-Nicaraguan relations from 1855-1988.
Sandinistas is a balanced, sophisticated, readable account of the
most significant revolutionary experience of our day.
The study of the magnetic fields of the Earth and Sun, as well as
those of other planets, stars, and galaxies, has a long history and
a rich and varied literature, including in recent years a number of
review articles and books dedicated to the dynamo theories of these
fields. Against this background of work, some explanation of the
scope and purpose of the present monograph, and of the presentation
and organization of the material, is therefore needed. Dynamo
theory offers an explanation of natural magnetism as a phenomenon
of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), the dynamics governing the evolution
and interaction of motions of an electrically conducting fluid and
electromagnetic fields. A natural starting point for a dynamo
theory assumes the fluid motion to be a given vector field, without
regard for the origin of the forces which drive it. The resulting
kinematic dynamo theory is, in the non-relativistic case, a linear
advection-diffusion problem for the magnetic field. This kinematic
theory, while far simpler than its magnetohydrodynamic counterpart,
remains a formidable analytical problem since the interesting
solutions lack the easiest symmetries. Much ofthe research has
focused on the simplest acceptable flows and especially on cases
where the smoothing effect of diffusion can be exploited. A close
analog is the advection and diffusion of a scalar field by laminar
flows, the diffusion being measured by an appropriate Peclet
number. This work has succeeded in establishing dynamo action as an
attractive candidate for astrophysical magnetism.
Holmes and Watson find themselves bombarded with an absolute
avalanche of dramatic cases! Holmes enrols Inspectors Lestrade and
Bradstreet to help him play a dangerous four handed game against an
organisation whose power and influence seems to know no bounds. As
dissimilar as each case seems to be, robbery, assault and gruesome
murder, Holmes begins to suspect that each one has been
meticulously designed to lure him towards a conclusion that even he
could not have anticipated. However, when his brother Mycroft goes
missing, he realises that he might just be running out of
time........
Reclaim God's vision for your life. Many Christians fall victim to
one of two main problems when it comes to work: either they are
idle in their work, or they have made an idol of it. Both of these
mindsets are deadly misunderstandings of how God intends for us to
think about our employment. In The Gospel at Work, Sebastian
Traeger and Greg Gilbert unpack the powerful ways in which the
gospel can transform how we do what we do, releasing us from the
cultural pressures of both an all-consuming devotion and a
punch-in, punch-out mentality - in order to find the freedom of a
work ethic rooted in serving Christ. You'll find answers to some of
the tough questions that Christians in the workplace often ask:
What factors should matter most in choosing a job? What gospel
principles should shape my thinking about how to treat my boss, my
co-workers, and my employees? Is full-time Christian work more
valuable than my job? Is it okay to be motivated by money? How do
you prioritize - or balance - work, family and church
responsibilities? Solidly grounded in the gospel, The Gospel at
Work confronts both our idleness at work and our idolatry of work
with a challenge of its own - to remember that whom we work for is
infinitely more important than what we do.
Businesses exist to provide goods and services to customers, and in
doing so, they take risks. Among these risks is the chance of
losing money in lawsuits filed by customers, employees, and others
negatively impacted by the business. Insurance provides some
protection against these liabilities, but lawsuits still take their
toll. This book covers the subject of economic damages and its role
in insurance claims, lawsuits, and injunctions against businesses.
This book will help the reader to identify economic damages as a
component of business liability, describe the business risk posed
by economic damages, explain some key determinants of economic
damages, and estimate economic damages and business loss in a
variety of cases.
