This book is a collection of essays that contribute to the debate
on the contextual interpretation of scripture from an African
context. The book engages biblical narratives from the lived
experiences of Africans, insisting that meaning is attained only
when people bring their daily experiences into their reading of
scripture. The contributors examine the interaction of African
peoples with the Bible in juxtaposition with the forces of
colonialism, neocolonialism, patriarchy, war, and bad governance.
This book gives voice to the lived experiences of African peoples
in their quest for full expression of the profundity of their union
with God by aiding them to unmask inhumanity and indignity.

While feminist interpretations of the Book of Revelation often
focus on the book’s use of feminine archetypes—mother, bride,
and prostitute, this commentary explores how gender, sexuality, and
other feminist concerns permeate the book in its entirety. By
calling audience members to become victors, Revelation’s author,
John, commends to them an identity that flows between masculine and
feminine and challenges ancient gender norms. This identity befits
an audience who follow the Lamb, a genderqueer savior, wherever he
goes. Â In this commentary, Lynn R. Huber situates Revelation
and its earliest audiences in the overlapping worlds of ancient
Asia Minor (modern Turkey) and first-century Judaism. She also
examines how interpreters from different generations living within
other worlds have found meaning in this image-rich and meaning-full
book.
This book meets the needs for a basic, yet comprehensive and
up-to-date, introductory text to building technology for students
in architecture and the other disciplines in building design. The
wide coverage is organised under the chapter headings: structure,
enclosure, climate services, utility services, lighting, acoustics,
fire safety, the future? The treatment in each case is concentrated
on the close relationship between good design practice and the
basic underlying scientific and practical principles, but stopping
short of the high level theory which is to be found in other more
closely specialised texts.This well illustrated and highly readable
book will be invaluable to the student and of interest to the
practitioner too, both in architecture and in its related technical
fields.

While many texts on entrepreneurship and biographies of great
entrepreneurs and leaders talk about vision and its importance, few
delve into what vision is, how it comes to be, and, how it can be
more successfully developed. This book, built on evidence-based
research, delves into the entire entrepreneurial visioning process.
Starting with understanding the elements which characterize strong
and sustainable vision, the authors detail proposed steps,
supported by examples and worksheets, that students and
entrepreneurs can take to build and implement their vision and, in
turn, help put them on the path to build great businesses.
Alt-Right Gangs provides a timely and necessary discussion of
youth-oriented groups within the white power movement. Focusing on
how these groups fit into the current research on street gangs,
Shannon E. Reid and Matthew Valasik catalog the myths and realities
around alt-right gangs and their members; illustrate how they use
music, social media, space, and violence; and document the risk
factors for joining an alt-right gang, as well as the mechanisms
for leaving. By presenting a way to understand the growth,
influence, and everyday operations of these groups, Alt-Right Gangs
informs students, researchers, law enforcement members, and policy
makers on this complex subject. Most significantly, the authors
offer an extensively evaluated set of prevention and intervention
strategies that can be incorporated into existing anti-gang
initiatives. With a clear, coherent point of view, this book offers
a contemporary synthesis that will appeal to students and scholars
alike.

This essential methods manual for immunohematologists (or
hematologists and immunohematologists) provides information on
genes that encode antigens on red blood cells, platelets and
neutrophils. The book begins by covering general concepts in
molecular biology and specific protocols such as DNA preparation,
PCR-RFLP and allele-specific PCR. Information on the erythrocyte,
platelet and neutrophil antigen systems and the molecular basis of
polymorphisms are presented clearly in a gene facts sheet format.
Database accession numbers and useful adjuncts such as Request
forms, worksheets for PCR/enzyme digests also serve to benefit the
user. The information is clearly presented and easily accessible
and is complemented by the excellent diagrams and tabular material.
This book is invaluable for both new and experienced researchers in
the field and other related disciplines.
Key Features
* Essential for hematologists and those involoved in tissue typing
and the study of human genetic polymorphisms
* Presents clearly and concisely the information on a particular
variant and the technique used to detect it
* Organized by antigen and provides sequences of polymorphisms and
primers
* Details the general concepts and critical information on genes,
their products, and sources of relevant nucleic acids
* Includes protocols that allow investigators to set up assays with
minimal effort (protocols include primers, reagents, reaction
conditions, sizes of amplified products, restriction fragment
digests, and the relevant safety information)
* Provides information that helps interpret results in clinical
settings
* Contains additional sources of information (e.g., key references,
web site addresses, glossary, Database accession numbers,
request
forms, and worksheets for PCR/enzyme digests)

Because there are more women in the Gospel of Luke than in any
other gospel, feminists have given it much attention. In this
commentary, Shelly Matthews and Barbara Reid show that feminist
analysis demands much more than counting the number of female
characters. Feminist biblical interpretation examines how the
female characters function in the narrative and also scrutinizes
the workings of power with respect to empire, to anti-Judaism, and
to other forms of othering. Matthews and Reid draw attention to the
ambiguities of the text-both the liberative possibilities and the
ways that Luke upholds the patriarchal status quo-and guide readers
to empowering reading strategies.
Authoritative experts in transfusion medicine describe in critical
detail the most important procedures for obtaining, selecting, and
transfusing red blood cells to patients. The topics covered include
such key issues as transfusion problems in the immunocompromised,
the complications of autoantibodies, transfusion of infants with
hemolytic disease, difficulties arising from solid organ
transplantation, stem cell transfusions, and the challenges of
massive transfusion. Also discussed are the use, limitations, and
alternatives to autogeneic cells; long-term red cell transfusion;
the management of adverse reactions to red cell transfusions; and
the question of blood group antigens and their association with
disease and differential diagnosis. The book offers transfusion
specialists fresh insights and information to maximize and extend
their current knowledge.

Homelessness touches every corner of our country, even the most
prosperous ones. In No Vacancy: Homeless Women in Paradise, Michael
E. Reid tells the story of more than five hundred women living
without shelter in the affluent sea-side communities of Monterrey,
Pebble Beach, and Carmel, California. Even in these glittering
cities, one by one, homeless women were dying, their bodies
appearing in plain sight. When Reid, an Episcopal priest, became
aware of these tragedies, he had to act, and he co-founded the Fund
for Homeless Women. This new venture took him deep into the complex
realities homeless women face. He found that the well-meaning
policies and programs in place in fact often had the unintentional
effect of widening the gap between the indigent and mainstream
society. No Vacancy captures the realities of homelessness in
affluent northern California and exposes pitfalls encountered by
those who wish to combat it. Reid presents an unvarnished look at
the culture of long-term homelessness, and his experience provides
helpful guidance for fighting this crisis. He also explores the
root causes that can result in homelessness, including
marginalization and the gender-based bias--and its disproportionate
effect on women of color. This timely book provides needed guidance
from the frontlines of the fight against homelessness, especially
as activists and homeless people face weakened political and
financial support from the government and their communities.
