This book will answer two questions. Why do most Christians accept
the Friday to Sunday burial of Christ? And why the bible is the
most accurate book ever to be written. This book presents proof.
And Mathematics proves this inerrancy.
This handbook aims to challenge 'gender blindness' in the
historical study of high politics, power, authority and government,
by bringing together a group of scholars at the forefront of
current historical research into the relationship between
masculinity and political power. Until very recently in historical
terms, formal political authority in Europe was normally and
ideally held by adult males, with female power being perceived as a
recurrent aberration. Yet paradoxically the study of the
interactions between masculinity and political culture is still
very much in its infancy. This volume seeks to remedy this lacuna
by considering the different consequences of the masculinity of
power over two millennia of European history. It examines how
masculinity and political culture have interacted from ancient Rome
and the early medieval Byzantine empire, to twentieth-century
Germany and Italy. It considers a broad variety of case studies
from early medieval Iceland and late medieval France, to Naples at
the time of the French Revolution and Strasbourg after the
Franco-Prussian War, with a particular focus on the development of
political masculinities in Great Britain between the sixteenth
century and the present day.
This book explains the psychological assessment process and reviews
the origins of psychological testing, referral and testing
processes, and prominent psychological assessment instruments. Most
important, this book details how to evaluate testing data and use
them to understand an individual's needs and to inform
interventions and treatments. This book addresses specific domains
of psychological assessment, including: * Intelligence and academic
achievement. * Speech-language and visual-motor abilities. *
Memory, attention/concentration, and executive functioning. *
Behavioral and social-emotional functioning. * Developmental
status. Practical Guide to Child and Adolescent Psychological
Testing is an essential resource for clinicians, primary care
providers, and other practitioners as well as researchers,
professors, and graduate students in the fields of child, school,
and developmental psychology, pediatrics and social work, child and
adolescent psychiatry, primary care medicine, and related
disciplines.
Beginning from the scientist-philosopher Michael Polanyi's theory
of tacit knowing, and drawing upon a remarkably original model of
the mind and its workings, Edward Moss develops the thesis that all
consciousness is grammatically structured. Comparison is made in
detail with the theories of Daniel Dennett, based on the computer
analogy, and with the neurophysiological theories of Gerald
Edelman. It is suggested that Moss's top-down psychological model
can be integrated with Edelman's bottom-up analysis. Two final
chapters explore the philosophical implications of this discussion.
The figure and role of the late-medieval father is reappraised
through a close reading of a range of documents from the period,
including both letters and romances. Late medieval English society
placed great weight on the practices of primogeniture, patrilineal
descent, and patriarchal government, and the significance of the
father had cultural resonance beyond the rule of law. Yet despite
aburgeoning interest in both the family and gender, "the father"
has to date received little attention from medievalists. This book
takes an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of the
"fictions" of fatherhood, the ideological constructs that
underpinned late medieval conceptions of fathers and patriarchy.
Its focus on gentry and mercantile readers and writers also offers
new insights into the literary culture of late medieval England by
considering how texts were produced and received within gentry and
bourgeois communities, and demonstrates the ability of texts to not
only reflect but also shape hegemonic norms and cultural anxieties.
Through close examination of late medieval letters and romances, it
shows how the father was the dominant figure not only of medieval
domestic life, but also of the medieval imagination. Dr RACHEL E.
MOSS is a Lecturer in History at the University of Northampton.
