The inerrancy of the Bible--the belief that the Bible is without
error--is often a contentious topic among mainstream Christianity.
Like other titles in the Counterpoints collection, this volume
gives those interested in theology the tools they need to draw
informed conclusions on debated issues by showcasing the range of
positions in a way that helps readers understand the
perspectives--especially where and why they diverge. Each essay in
Five Views on Biblical Inerrancy considers: The present context,
viability, and relevance for the contemporary evangelical Christian
witness. Whether and to what extent Scripture teaches its own
inerrancy. The position's assumed or implied understandings of the
nature of Scripture, God, and truth. Three difficult biblical
texts: one that concerns intra-canonical contradictions, one that
raises questions of theological plurality, and one that concerns
historical authenticity. Five Views on Biblical Inerrancy serves
not only as a single-volume resource for surveying the current
debate, but also as a catalyst both for understanding and advancing
the conversation further. Contributors include Al Mohler, Kevin
Vanhoozer, Michael Bird, Peter Enns, and John Franke.
This short biography aims to show, in non-technical language, how
one major scientist lived and worked. It marks the bicentenary of
Faraday's birth.
U.S.S. Seawolf: Submarine Raider of the Pacific is the famous
first-hand account of the legendary U.S. Navy submarine Seawolf
a.k.a. the Wolf which patrolled the Pacific during the conflict
with Japan in World War 2. Shoving off the day of Pearl Harbor,
Chief Radioman J. (Joseph) M. (Melvin) Eckberg gives the reader a
tense and detailed account of his initial 24-month stint aboard the
Seawolf and beyond.
The synchronized flashing of fireflies at night. The spiraling
patterns of an aggregating slime mold. The anastomosing network of
army-ant trails. The coordinated movements of a school of fish.
Researchers are finding in such patterns--phenomena that have
fascinated naturalists for centuries--a fertile new approach to
understanding biological systems: the study of self-organization.
This book, a primer on self-organization in biological systems for
students and other enthusiasts, introduces readers to the basic
concepts and tools for studying self-organization and then examines
numerous examples of self-organization in the natural world.
Self-organization refers to diverse pattern formation processes
in the physical and biological world, from sand grains assembling
into rippled dunes to cells combining to create highly structured
tissues to individual insects working to create sophisticated
societies. What these diverse systems hold in common is the
proximate means by which they acquire order and structure. In
self-organizing systems, pattern at the global level emerges solely
from interactions among lower-level components. Remarkably, even
very complex structures result from the iteration of surprisingly
simple behaviors performed by individuals relying on only local
information. This striking conclusion suggests important lines of
inquiry: To what degree is environmental rather than individual
complexity responsible for group complexity? To what extent have
widely differing organisms adopted similar, convergent strategies
of pattern formation? How, specifically, has natural selection
determined the rules governing interactions within biological
systems?
Broad in scope, thorough yet accessible, this book is a
self-contained introduction to self-organization and complexity in
biology--a field of study at the forefront of life sciences
research.
The rapid changes in health care including novel technologies as
well as the changing economic, political, and social landscapes are
all forcing physicians as well as most types of health care
practitioners to re-think their role in leadership. This is
particularly true in the US in recent years, but the same issues
are widely prevalent affecting health care workers around the
globe. Developing capable medical leaders who can navigate these
challenges will be essential. Physicians and other health care
practitioners usually receive little or no leadership training in
the course of their education. At the next steps in their training:
internship, residency and fellowship, gaining clinical acumen takes
precedence over developing other skills that are at the core of
leadership training. Leadership Lessons for Health Care Providers
will allow all types of health professionals to gain a better
understanding of what leadership is, how to develop their skills
while still early in their careers, how to understand and handle
common leadership conundrums and chart a path towards increasing
their leadership capabilities as they reach mid-career and beyond.
This book will provide a great start for those who are interested
in learning more about leadership and includes recommendations for
next steps at all stages in leadership work.
