Through the unique format of this text, David has given the
answers to nearly six hundred questions that have plagued many
regarding the book of Revelation. The product of his work is a book
that addresses these concerns and amplifies the need for one to
have a personal relationship with God. The following is just a
sample.
If Babylon was destroyed by the Persians, how can it be
destroyed again?
How important are truth and justice today?
But what is justice when it comes to God and us?
Just what does it mean to fear God?
Exactly who are the beast and false prophet?
When one thinks of heaven, what is the picture that comes to
mind?
How many people can heaven hold?
If over 2,000 years have passed without Christ's return, what
assurance is there that He will return?

Global theory represents an influential and popular means of
understanding contemporary social and political phenomena. Human
identity and social responsibilities are considered in a global
context and in the light of a global human condition. A global
perspective is assumed to be new and to supersede preceding social
theory. However, if contemporary global theory is influential, its
identity, assumptions and novelty are controversial. Global Theory
from Kant to Hardt and Negri scrutinises global theory by examining
how contemporary global theorists simultaneously draw upon and
critique preceding modern theories. It re-thinks contemporary
global ideas by relating them to the social thought of Kant, Hegel
and Marx, and in so doing highlights divergent ambiguous aspects of
contemporary global theories, as well as the continuing impact of
the ideas of Kant, Hegel and Marx.
Iain McLean reexamines the radical legacy of AdamSmith, arguing
that Smith was a radical egalitarian and that his work supported
all three of the slogans of the French Revolution: liberty,
equality, and fraternity. McLean suggests that Smith's The Theory
of Moral Sentiments , published in 1759, crystallized the radically
egalitarian philosophy of the Scottish Enlightenment. This book
brings Smith into full view, showing how much of modern economics
and political science is in Smith. The author locates Smith's
heritage firmly within the context of the Enlightenment, while
addressing the international links between American, French, and
Scottish histories of political thought.
The decline of infections, starvation, heart attack, and stroke has
allowed people to reach extreme old age--and ushered in disability,
dementia, and degenerative disease, with profound consequences for
the self and society. In chapters echoing Dante's nine circles of
hell, Dr. Guy Brown explores these vital issues at various levels,
from the cell, to the whole body, to society and how all this new
medical technology affects the meaning of death. He tracks the
seismic shifts in the causes and character of death that are
rocking medicine and reveals how technological innovations, such as
cloning and electronic interfaces, hint at new modes of "survival"
after death.
Exposed to powerful new economic forces, and undergoing dramatic
ownership reforms and technological changes, China's industries are
modernizing at a breakneck pace. In many industries, the outcomes
have been chaotic and poorly aligned with societal objectives. This
book analyses the transformation and modernization of China's
industries through a detailed investigation of the wool and wool
textile industries. The authors argue that to remain
internationally competitive in the post WTO accession era, Chinese
industries need to confront a critical new phase in the
modernization process - that of improving management practices and
industry co-ordination. Modernizing China's Industries is a
comprehensive, integrated and in-depth investigation of industry
transformation and modernization. The extensive first-hand
research, across a range of industry segments and participants,
spans almost two decades. The analysis reveals much about industry
modernization and transition in China for a broad range of
industries and therefore provides invaluable information for
developing strategies and accessing opportunities within China.
This book offers unique insights for academics and researchers in
Asian studies, transition studies and industrial transformation, as
well as policymakers and industry leaders interested in both the
intricacies and mega-forces involved in China's industrial
modernization. The comprehensive industry analysis also provides a
valuable reference for professionals in the increasingly
China-centric world of wool and wool textiles as well as offering
insights for other textile industry professionals.
Browning and Kilmister review the nature and possibility of
critical political economy in the light of recent post-modern and
cultural theory. They provide an historical understanding of
critical political economy, focusing on the development of the
critical perspectives on capitalism of Hegel and Marx. They then
review post-Marxist, post-structuralist, ecological and feminist
standpoints that challenge notions of critical political economy
sustained in the Hegelian-Marxist tradition. This study of critical
and post-critical political economy concludes by arguing for the
integration or these standpoints within a revitalized critical
perspective.
Drawing on qualitative research with African actors and global
health institutions, the authors explore the politics of how
performance funding modalities and participation are used to shape
health reform in African countries as well as the role of African
actors, global policy elites and international donors within these
processes.
