This ground-breaking collection features the diverse voices,
experiences, and scholarship of cross-cultural women of American
Indian, Asian American, Black/African American and Hispanic descent
at various levels of academe, actively engaged in the advancement
of marginalized groups in the U.S. and abroad through their
scholarly work. Intergenerational cross-cultural scholars manifest
a literary community that models ways in which women scholars can
move beyond traditional institutional, psychological, and
professional barriers to practice activism, break unwritten rules,
and shatter status quo 'business as usual' practices in the
academy. This distinctive volume exemplifies the phenomenon of
cross-cultural women scholars conducting research and writing about
ways in which they negotiate their professional realities toward
professional goal attainment. Each chapter presents rigorous
ethnographic research complemented by critical analyses, reflecting
ways in which these self-determined scholars transcend barriers
associated with the dynamic intersections of race, gender,
ethnicity, class and language in higher education. Scholars share
strategies for institutional, psychological, and professional
barrier transcendence through various approaches such as
educational leadership for equity, the practice of cross-cultural
competence, various mentoring interactions, and the creation of and
participation in networking groups with other women of color in
academe. Students, academics, educational practitioners and
individuals seeking exemplars for ethnographic research will find
this critical book essential as a means for better informing their
scholarship.
Early Christians and Animals presents a lively study of the
significance of animals in early Christian thought, tradition, text
and art. Robert M. Grant: * examines the diverse and often
conflicting sources, from the pagan antecedents Aristotle and
Pliny, to Biblical animal references and the Church fathers *
provides fresh translations of key texts concerning animals - the
Physiologus, Basils homilies and Isidores chapters.
During the second century the Christian world was shaken by the Gnostics. Irenaeus came from Asia Minor via Rome to become bishop of Lyons, clarify Christian doctrines and fight the Gnostics with a major, five-volume work. He was a living part of his contemporary culture and his approach filled early Christian thought with new life. The writings of Irenaeus exist as a whole only in Latin and Armenian. This study offers new translations of significant parts of his work, critically based on a complete reconstruction of the original Greek in the French series Sources Chretiennes. This collection of sources will also be an invaluable resource for students of the Early Church.

What could the ancient Egyptians tell us about 3D printing? How can
we make lithium-ion batteries greener and more sustainable? Which
materials will form the heart of future quantum computers? Plastic
films, glass optical fibers, silicon crystals, and more - this book
is about the history of the materials that have rapidly transformed
our society over the last century and their role in the major
global challenges of the future. From metal alloys ushering in a
new age of industry to advanced materials laying the atomic
brickwork of the Digital Revolution, the book examines the societal
impact of the modern materials revolution through the twin lenses
of stability and sustainability. Why aren't maglev trains
mainstream? Whatever happened to graphene and carbon nanotubes? The
book also looks at the unmet promises of some of the most exciting
- and hyped - technologies in recent decades - superconductivity
and nanotechnology. The final chapter reviews our history of
materials usage, the increasing demand for many critical raw
materials, and addresses the upcoming new challenges for creating a
circular economy based on reusing and recycling materials.

This book examines ten materials-flint, clay, iron, gold, glass,
cement, rubber, polyethylene, aluminum, and silicon-explaining how
they formed, how we discovered them, why they have the properties
they do, and how they have transformed our lives. Since the dawn of
the Stone Age, we have shaped materials to meet our needs and, in
turn, those materials have shaped us. The fracturing of flint
created sharp, curved surfaces that gave our ancestors an
evolutionary edge. Molding clay and then baking it in the sun
produced a means of recording the written word and exemplified
human artistic imagination. As our ability to control heat
improved, earthenware became stoneware and eventually porcelain,
the most prized ceramic of all. Iron cast at high temperatures
formed the components needed for steam engines, locomotives, and
power looms-the tools of the Industrial Revolution. Gold has
captivated humans for thousands of years and has recently found
important uses in biology, medicine, and nanotechnology. Glass
shaped into early and imperfect lenses not only revealed the
microscopic world of cells and crystals, but also allowed us to
discover stars and planets beyond those visible with the naked eye.
Silicon revolutionized the computer, propelling us into the
Information Age and with it our interconnected social networks, the
Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence. Written by a
materials scientist, this book explores not just why, but also how
certain materials came to be so fundamental to human society. This
enlightening study captivates anyone interested in learning more
about the history of humankind, our ingenuity, and the materials
that have shaped our world.
