Este valioso libro viene a llenar un hueco enorme en la Teolog a
Cristiana en lengua castellana: La falta de informaci n confiable
sobre los or genes jud os de la fe cristiana. Para aquellos que
buscan la sencillez, el libro expresa muchas verdades fundamentales
que permanecieron ocultas en los antiguos tratados de la historia
de la Iglesia en un lenguaje simple y ameno. En cambio, para
aquellos que aman la seriedad acad mica el tratado est lleno de
referencias cuidadosamente documentadas, frutos de la erudici n
moderna y la antiqu sima tradici n de Israel. El inicio de esta
obra provee al lector de la perspectiva hist rica del origen jud o
de la Iglesia y su posterior separaci n de Israel. Luego, expone
las fallas de las hip tesis aramea y griega como idiomas originales
del Nuevo Testamento, y demuestra el origen hebreo de los
Evangelios y las ense anzas de los ap stoles. Los siguientes cap
tulos se enfocan en la judaidad de Jesucristo, y por qu nunca
abandon su fe ancestral para fundar una religi n separada del
tronco tradicional del juda smo del Segundo Templo. Explican, adem
s, por qu las ense anzas de Jesucristo o Yahush a ha Mash aj son
todas ellas jud as e interpretarlas fuera de ese marco religioso
inevitablemente lleva a graves errores en la doctrina y la pr ctica
de la fe. Por ltimo, explora con integridad teol gica c mo los
Padres de la Iglesia y los Reformadores Protestantes forjaron con
su antisemitismo los cap tulos m?'s vergonzosos de la historia
humana: Las Cruzadas, la Santa Inquisici n y el Holocausto. Sin
duda alguna, su consistente punto de vista jud o nazareno lo hace
un libro sumamente interesante, informativo y conmovedor que debe
ser le do por cada pastor, seminarista, misionero y estudiante
sincero de la Biblia; tanto cristiano como jud o por igual.

This book takes a multidisciplinary and long-term historical
perspective to study the evolution of African political systems and
institutions. It ranges from Antiquity (Egypt, Kush, and Axum) to
the present, with a particular focus on the destruction of these
political systems and institutions through successive exogenous
processes, including the Atlantic slave trade, imperialism,
colonialism, and neo-colonialism or globalization.
"The model of what a concise, attractive guidebook should
be."-Mid-Atlantic Country This lively and informative guide offers
tourists, residents, and architecture aficionados insights into
nearly 450 of Washington, DC's, most noteworthy buildings and
monuments. Organized into 19 discrete walking tours, plus one
general tour of peripheral sites, this thoroughly revised sixth
edition features projects ranging from early federal landmarks to
twenty-first-century commercial, institutional, and residential
buildings. It includes some 80 new entries covering dozens of
recently completed buildings, along with some historic structures
that may have been overlooked in the past. The guide also has
updated maps, and many existing entries have been rewritten to
reflect recent renovations, changes to the buildings' contexts, or
additional scholarship. G. Martin Moeller, Jr., blends informed,
concise descriptions with engaging commentary on each landmark,
revealing surprising details of the buildings' history and design.
Every entry is accompanied by a photograph and includes the
structure's location, its architects and designers, and the
corresponding dates of completion. Each entry is keyed to an
easy-to-read map at the beginning of the tour. From the imposing
monuments of Capitol Hill and the Mall to the pastoral suburban
enclaves of Foxhall and Cleveland Park, from small memorials to
vast commercial and institutional complexes, this guide shows us a
Washington that is at once excitingly fresh and comfortably
familiar. The additions and revisions incorporated into the latest
edition illuminate broader demographic and physical changes in the
city, including the emergence of new neighborhoods and the
redevelopment of once-neglected areas.
In addition to updating important core techniques this third
edition presents new chapters on assessing leukocyte involvement in
angiogenesis, lymphatic cell and pericyte isolation techniques,
spheroid and arterial ring based in vitro assays, and on pericyte
involvement in angiogenesis. Angiogenesis Protocols, Third Edition
also guides readers through new protocols on chorioallantoic
membrane models, corneal pocket assays to assess angio- and
lymphangiogenesis, models of muscle angiogenesis, and use of
zebrafish embryos to study vascular angiogenesis and senescence.
Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology
series format, chapters include introductions to their respective
topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents,
step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips
on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and
practical, Angiogenesis Protocols, Third Edition provides not only
a practical handbook for key techniques, but also an informative
and enjoyable read for all those interested, no matter how
directly, in angiogenesis.
For most of its history, the African continent has witnessed
momentous political change, remarkable philosophical innovation,
and the complex cross-fertilization of ideologies and belief
systems. This definitive study surveys the concepts, values, and
historical upheavals that have shaped African political systems
from the ancient period to the postcolonial era and beyond.
Beginning with the emergence of indigenous political institutions,
it traces the most important developments in African history,
including the Africanization of Islam, liberal democratic
movements, socialism, Pan-Africanism, and Africanist-Populist
resistance to the neoliberal world order. The result is an
invaluable resource on a region too often ignored in the history of
political thought.
It is widely recognized that an understanding of the optical pro
perties of matter will give a great deal of important information
re levant to the fundamental physical properties. This is
especially true in semiconductor physics for which, due to the
intrinsic low screening of these materials, the optical response is
quite rich. Their spectra reflect indeed as well electronic as spin
or phonon transitions. This is also in the semiconductor field that
artificial structures have been recently developed, showing for the
first time specific physical properties related to the low
dimentionality of the electronic and vi bronic properties: with
this respect the quantum and fractional quan tum Hall effects are
among the most well known aspects. The associated reduced screening
is also a clear manifestation of these aspects and as such favors
new optical properties or at least significantly enhan ces some of
them. For all these reasons, it appeared necessary to try to review
in a global way what the optical investigation has brought today
about the understanding of the physics of semiconductors. This
volume collects the papers presented at the NATO Advanced study
Inst i tut e on "Optical Properties of Semiconductors" held at the
Ettore Majorana Centre, Erice, Sicily on March 9th to 20th, 1992.
This school brought together 70 scientists active in research
related to optical properties of semiconductors. There were 12
lecturers who pro vided the main contributions ."

Safety-Critical Systems (SCS) are increasingly present in people's
daily activities. In the means of transport, in medical treatments,
in industrial processes, in the control of air, land, maritime
traffic, and many other situations, we use and depend on SCS. The
requirements engineering of any system is crucial for the proper
development of the same, and it becomes even more relevant for the
development of SCS. Requirements Engineering is a discipline that
focuses on the development of techniques, methods, processes, and
tools that assist in the design of software and systems, covering
the activities of elicitation, analysis, modeling and
specification, validation, and management of requirements. The
complete specification of system requirements establishes the basis
for its architectural design. It offers a description of the
functional and quality aspects that should guide the implementation
and system evolution. In this book, we discuss essential elements
of requirements engineering applied to SCS, such as the
relationship between safety/hazard analysis and requirements
specification, a balance between conservative and agile
methodologies during SCS development, the role of requirements
engineering in safety cases, and requirements engineering maturity
model for SCS. This book provides relevant insights for
professionals, students, and researchers interested in improving
the quality of the SCS development process, making system
requirements a solid foundation for improving the safety and
security of future systems.

As recently as five years ago mass incarceration was widely
considered to be a central, permanent feature of the political and
social landscape. The number of people in U.S. prisons is still
without historic parallel anywhere in the world or in U.S. history.
But in the last few years, the population has decreased, in some
states by almost a third. A broad consensus is emerging to reduce
prison rolls. Politicians have called for repealing the harshest
sentencing laws of the war on drugs, abolishing mandatory minimums
and closing correctional facilities. Does the decrease in the
prison population herald the dismantling of mass incarceration?
This book provides an answer. Drawing on original research from
across New York State, the contributors argue that while massive
decarceration is taking place, the outcome to date is not the one
wished for by reformers, namely a more just system. While drug law
reform is clearly upon us, for example, a moral panic about heroin
addiction and phantom meth labs has recently reached a fever pitch.
As the penitentiary population drops and prisons close, the number
of people in jail has swelled. New intelligence-led policing, and
the rise of a reentry industry together have led to more
surveillance and less social justice. Together these developments
lead to justice disinvestment as the state sheds direct
responsibility for the criminal justice system to the private and
non-profit sector, while it extends its reach through new forms of
community-based supervision, surveillance and policing into poor
neighborhoods and communities of color. Celebration may be
premature, in other words. Having endowed a group that is already
disproportionately poor and people of color with the stigma of
criminality, the state has left the formerly incarcerated and their
communities to their fate. The future we face appears to be neither
emancipatory reform nor simply the continuation of past mass
incarceration. The challenge of freedom, on a scale not seen since
the Reconstruction, remains before us.
