Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This book helps inject the Miami Times into the historical
narrative of the Civil Rights Movement in Florida by highlighting
its role in Rice v Arnold, a 1949 lawsuit filed by black
recreational golfers in Miami to oppose segregation on the city's
public golf course. Founded in 1923 by Bahamian-born H.E.S. Reeves
who ran the newspaper with his son Garth C. Reeves Sr., the
newspaper financially and editorially supported efforts to
desegregate Miami schools, beaches, residential communities, public
transportation systems and sports complexes. Its support of the
Rice v Arnold legal challenge is but one example that demonstrates
how the newspaper, as a conduit of social change, worked with other
Miami community leaders to improve conditions for the city's black
population.

The study of greenhouse climates in the earth's past leads to a greater understanding of the factors that influence today's climate. In this fully integrated volume, leading experts in paleoclimatology present cutting edge paleontological, geological, and theoretical research to assess intervals of global warmth. Coverage examines warm climate intervals during the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic from the same perspectives: oceanic and terrestrial, theoretical and observational. This approach illuminates the differences and, more importantly, the commonalities of warm climate intervals. The book also provides a comprehensive overview of the advantages and limitations of different types of climate models that are currently used, and it discusses major factors that have caused global climatic change across geologic time scales. Central problems that remain unresolved are clearly identified. The book will be of great interest to researchers in paleoclimatology, and it will also be useful as a supplementary text in advanced undergraduate or graduate level courses in paleoclimatology and earth science.
College is a fun and exciting time where every day is a new
adventure, especially if you are away from home in another city or
town. This will most likely be some of the best years of your life,
but it's also a time that can present many spiritual challenges and
life-defining decisions. Have you considered how you will handle
serious challenges to your faith from other students, or from your
professor? Can you answer difficult questions about your faith? Can
you stand your ground with rational, thoughtful and logical reasons
for what you believe? If not, you should prepare yourself now. This
book can give you the tools you need to do more than explain what
you believe - but why you believe it
The purpose of this book is to answer the biggest challenges to
Christianity from skeptics, scoffers, and general antagonist who
argue that Christianity is intolerant, not the only path to God, is
dangerous to society and based on blind faith and a flawed Bible.
These charges have no doubt damaged the church and left many
Christians feeling weak and defeated. Even worse, belief in these
flawed arguments is keeping good people from a relationship with
Jesus. If you are a skeptic, please read with an open mind what is
presented here about misconceptions and accusations against
Christianity. Please understand that you are not hated by
Christians or by God. If you are a Christian, I pray that you would
use this book to help others understand the truth about God, Jesus
and the Bible.
Christian apologetics is more important than ever. We must be able
to defend our faith because Christianity is a Faith Worth Defending
If you are confident about what you believe, prepared to talk to
skeptics about Jesus, and able to answer difficult questions about
your faith - then you are considerably ahead of most Christians If
you are not ready to defend the faith, don't worry. A twelve week
study of apologetics will prepare you to engage skeptics with more
confidence and less pressure. This 12 week workbook can be used to
lead a small group or class in a discussion of Christian
apologetics and strategies for defending the faith.
Christian apologetics is a dynamic field of theology that serves to
offer a rational defense for the Christian faith. The study of
Apologetics allows Christians to defend the faith against
objections, and expose the flaws of other worldviews. In 1
Thessalonians, Paul writes that we should "test all things" and
"hold fast that which is good." As Christians, we can test all
things against the scriptures using science, archeology, philosophy
and reason. In this book, my goal is to simplify the mounds of data
that clearly demonstrate God's existence, the deity of Christ, and
the authenticity of the Bible so that any Christian can give a
defense with boldness, reason and clarity. As a teacher, it's my
hope that you learn something useful from this book that can be
integrated into your personal ministry. There is no better
accomplishment for the Christian than to help someone find the
truth and see the light of Christ. The bible says there will be,
"Joy in heaven over one sinner who repents." I hope that you use
this book as a manual to help others become the object of heavenly
joy as you continue down God's path growing in knowledge, wisdom,
and faith in Christ.
