Grace Jantzen was an internationally-renowned feminist philosopher
of religion whose work has transformed the way we think about the
interactions between religion, culture and gender in Western
culture. Jantzen's aim was to 'redeem the present' via a critique
and reconstruction of staple concepts of the Western imaginary.
This unique book brings together many of Grace Jantzen's colleagues
and former students in a wide-ranging exploration of her enduring
influence, ranging across philosophy of religion, to literature,
psychoanalysis, theology, ethics and politics. Part I assesses the
ramifications of Jantzen's affirmation that Western culture must
'choose life' in preference to a prevailing symbolic of violence
and death. Part II explores some of the key voices which
contributed to Jantzen's understanding of a culture of flourishing
and natality: Quaker thought and practice, medieval mysticism and
feminist spirituality. Further essays apply elements of Jantzen's
work to the politics of disability, development and
environmentalism, extending her range of influence into new and
innovative areas.

Ease the transition to the new COSO framework with practical
strategy Internal Control Audit and Compliance provides complete
guidance toward the latest framework established by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO). With clear explanations and
expert advice on implementation, this helpful guide shows auditors
and accounting managers how to document and test internal controls
over financial reporting with detailed sections covering each
element of the framework. Each section highlights the latest
changes and new points of emphasis, with explicit definitions of
internal controls and how they should be assessed and tested.
Coverage includes easing the transition from older guidelines, with
step-by-step instructions for implementing the new changes. The new
framework identifies seventeen new principles, each of which are
explained in detail to help readers understand the new and emerging
best practices for efficiency and effectiveness. The revised COSO
framework includes financial and non-financial reporting, as well
as both internal and external reporting objectives. It is essential
for auditors and controllers to understand the new framework and
how to document and test under the new guidance. This book
clarifies complex codification and provides an effective strategy
for a more rapid transition. * Understand the new COSO internal
controls framework * Document and test internal controls to
strengthen business processes * Learn how requirements differ for
public and non-public companies * Incorporate improved risk
management into the new framework The new framework is COSO's first
complete revision since the release of the initial framework in
1992. Companies have become accustomed to the old guidelines, and
the necessary procedures have become routine making the transition
to align with the new framework akin to steering an ocean liner.
Internal Control Audit and Compliance helps ease that transition,
with clear explanation and practical implementation guidance.
This book is needed to help guide the conversation around ways to
address the great disparities that impact African American males in
intercollegiate athletics. In particular, scholars and
practitioners have grappled with issues surrounding the climate and
opportunities presented to African American males as
student-athletes and coaches. Yet, there has not been a single text
dedicated to identifying issues pertaining to the success and
pitfalls of Black males not just as student-athletes, but also as
coaches, administrators, and academic support staff in
intercollegiate athletics. By addressing such topics as the
economic realities of athletic competition, academic achievement,
mental health, job opportunities, and identity, a new discourse
will emerge on the role of African American males in college
sports. This work will revisit old issues and explore the new
complexities surrounding Black males in the realm of athletics in
higher education with the purpose of improving their plight.
This is the most comprehensive survey of the mathematical life of
the legendary Paul Erdos (1913-1996), one of the most versatile and
prolific mathematicians of our time. For the first time, all the
main areas of Erdos' research are covered in a single project.
Because of overwhelming response from the mathematical community,
the project now occupies over 1000 pages, arranged into two
volumes. These volumes contain both high level research articles as
well as key articles that survey some of the cornerstones of Erdos'
work, each written by a leading world specialist in the field. A
special chapter "Early Days", rare photographs, and art related to
Erdos complement this striking collection. A unique contribution is
the bibliography on Erdos' publications: the most comprehensive
ever published. This new edition, dedicated to the 100th
anniversary of Paul Erdos' birth, contains updates on many of the
articles from the two volumes of the first edition, several new
articles from prominent mathematicians, a new introduction, more
biographical information about Paul Erdos, and an updated list of
publications. The first volume contains the unique chapter "Early
Days", which features personal memories of Paul Erdos by a number
of his colleagues. The other three chapters cover number theory,
random methods, and geometry. All of these chapters are essentially
updated, most notably the geometry chapter that covers the recent
solution of the problem on the number of distinct distances in
finite planar sets, which was the most popular of Erdos' favorite
geometry problems.

of publications. The second volume contains chapters on graph
theory and combinatorics, extremal and Ramsey theory, and a section
on infinity that covers Erdos' research on set theory. All of these
chapters are essentially updated, particularly the extremal theory
chapter that contains a survey of flag algebras, a new technique
for solving extremal problems.
