In 2015 portraits by Dr John Adamson were displayed at the National
Museum of Scotland exhibition Photography: A Victorian Sensation.
The audience response to these powerful works was such that this
book has been produced, the first devoted to placing his work in
its historical context and to acquainting a new audience with his
work which, for conservation reasons, cannot be displayed all the
time. Dr Adamson (1809-70) was the older brother of the better
known Robert Adamson (1821-48), famous for his pioneering
photography work with D. O. Hill. John Adamson remained an amateur;
his photography had to be fitted in around his busy medical
practice in St Andrews. The photographs are drawn mainly from two
extremely early and significant albums, presented to the Museum in
the 1940s. An Appendix has technical information on, for example:
camera obscura, lenses, daguerreotype, calotype, the albumen
process, and the collodian negative process.
Can good-will be good business? Firms are increasingly called upon
to address matters such as poverty and human rights violations. The
demand for corporate social responsibility (CSR) is directed mainly
at top management in multinational corporations who are reminded
that, in addition to helping to make the world a better place,
their commitment to social action will be rewarded by lasting
customer loyalty and profits. But is it true that firms that engage
in social action will be rewarded with a good name, competitive
advantage, superior profits and corporate sustainability? What if
it is true for some firms and not for others? This book addresses
these and other questions by explaining the how and why of creating
value and competitive advantage through corporate social action. It
shows how and when firms can develop successful corporate social
strategies that establish strong commitments to shareholders,
employees and other stakeholders.

Culture is a continuing, forward process-the gradual unveiling of
truth as life. But often we get ensnarled. We can only imagine
culture as a war, a gritty ideological and religious struggle where
every arena is bloody with strife: art, philosophy, cuisine, music,
literature, science. But at its foundation, culture is about
building, not conflict. The time has come for us to beat our swords
into plowshares. By realizing the Bible's vision for a cultivated
earth, we can build a more comprehensive, radical, holistic
culture, resistant to compromise and dedicated to a Trinitarian
aesthetic. What does this culture look like? It is the development
of the earth into a global fabric of gardens and cities in harmony
with nature-a glorious garden-city. Plowing in Hope provides a
positive, clear, and colorful introduction to this transformational
topic. "David Hegeman's approach is refreshingly different. He maps
out a positive theology of culture building rooted in Creation and
extending into the New Jerusalem. His wonderful little book, based
on sound Biblical exegesis, presents a compelling case for why and
how we should build a culture that magnifies God and ennobles men."
