David Coffey considers the full range of issues surrounding the Trinity, one of the central doctrines of Christian faith. He looks at these issues in historical and ecumenical context, with the goal of arriving at a balanced vision that incorporates the insights of both the Western and Eastern churches. In particular, he keeps in sight both the immanent aspect of the Trinity (the Godhead considered in itself) and the Trinity's economic aspect (its role within the economy of salvation). He also suggests a way to resolve the ecumenical problem of Filioquism vs. Monopatrism -- the issue that has divided East from West for nearly a millennium.
A young man discovers his life has been fictionalized in the form
of a game book. Is this a case of identity theft, or just a very
slow-burning inside joke? Only he can ultimately tell, but other
readers will reach their own conclusions. Make your way through
exciting choices leading to all sorts of plot twists and alternate
endings. If you can, find the key to the digital Easter Egg for an
added dimension of the story.
Future-generation solar cells are continually being introduced and
refined. These new designs, however, are often based on new
materials and there is a lack of fundamental understanding about
how such devices work and how they can be improved. Conjugated
polymers and small molecules are two such promising classes of
materials suited for use in low-cost, thin-film solar cells. The
performance of these materials, however, is highly dependent on
film structure, and directly correlating local film structures with
device performance remains challenging. This work describes several
new techniques developed to probe and control the local
optoelectronic properties of organic semiconducting films. These
techniques include electrostatic force microscopy (trEFM),
photoconductive atomic force microscopy (pcAFM), and a fabrication
technique based on Dip-Pen Nanolithography (DPN). Taken together,
these methods provide a first nanoscale look a charge and current
generation in organic photovoltaic films. This work introduces
these new techniques for the reader and details how they are being
used to solve current scientific questions.
"At thirty-three years of age, Hood became the eighth and youngest
of the Confederate Army's generals of full rank. He had risen
through the commissioned ranks, from first lieutenant to full
general, in only three years, a feat achieved by no other man
during the Civil War.... Ultimately, Hood was selected for one
reason -- to fight -- and no other available officer was better
suited for the challenge". David Coffey's words give a succinct
portrait of the ascent of John Bell Hood. His book delivers a clear
and riveting evaluation of Hood's service in and command of the
Western Army in Northern Georgia.
The Atlanta Campaign ground on for more than four months and
proved one of the most decisive of the Civil War. Cautious General
Joseph Johnston was popular with the troops but, from the
government's viewpoint, produced no results. Confederate President
Jefferson Davis searched for a replacement with a less deliberate
strategy and a more aggressive style. In short, a tighten John Bell
Hood was such a man, having led troops in battle, fighting and
bleeding on behalf of the cause. He was Johnston's chief
subordinate and the natural candidate as his replacement.
Even so, Sherman eventually captured Atlanta and contributed to
Abraham Lincoln's reelection. Hood's effort to save the railroad
and manufacturing center has historically been considered a
failure, with his selection as Johnston's replacement considered
extremely controversial.
Coffey tackles this issue, and argues for the necessity of
replacing General Johnston with the most logical choice, Hood. The
author also explains that, despite his scrappy reputation and
aggressive style, Hood had inherited a near impossible situation
intrying to save Atlanta but, according to this book, his
performance was praiseworthy.
