In this clear and accessible introductory text, the author supplies
the reader with basic information about both the content and the
historical background of the New Testament and shows the processes
by which scholars seek to solve some of the chief literary problems
of the Gospels. He offers a straightforward path through the
unwieldy abundance of complex material, without distortion or
over-simplification. He avoids technical discussions and critical
debates, but shows the main problems to be considered in this type
of study. The author does not emphasise novel theories, but
presents a balanced account that represents the consensus of
current New Testament scholarship. Long seen as one of the leading
volumes of its kind, this enlarged and revised edition will provide
lasting knowledge to all who seek a deepened understanding of the
forces that forged the New Testament.
A comprehensive guide to the content and historical background of
the New Testament, showing the main literary problems of the Gospel
and how the scholars confront them.
'Entrepreneurial identities permeate virtually every facet of the
venturing process, but the study of these identities has received
surprisingly little attention among scholars. Thomas Duening and
Matthew Metzger address this problem with this insightful and
timely edited volume. They have compiled an impressive array of
research that covers both macro- and micro-level explorations of
entrepreneurial identities. Most importantly, these chapters
provide numerous examples of tangible advice to interested
educators about how to foster the entrepreneurial spirit and build
the entrepreneurial identity within their own students. This book
is a must-read for anyone interested in entrepreneurial
identities.' - Charles Murnieks, Oregon State University, US
Entrepreneurship is an academic discipline that, despite decades of
growth in research and teaching activity lacks a traditionally
distinct or common pedagogy. In this book, editors Thomas N.
Duening and Matthew L. Metzger explore entrepreneurial identity as
a new basis upon which curricula can be constructed for aspiring
entrepreneurs. Critically, this perspective is based on the insight
that there is a fundamental difference between venture development
and entrepreneur development. Unfortunately, most current
interventions for aspiring entrepreneurs focus on the former at the
expense of the latter. The editors have collected work from an
international team of authors with diverse views on how identity
theory applies to entrepreneur development. Chapters focus
primarily on macro-level identity issues (that is, how do these
entrepreneurial archetypes form, persist, and sometimes change) or
micro-level identity issues (that is, how can educators and
resource providers identify, communicate, and incentivize identity
construction among aspiring entrepreneurs). This book provides a
general theoretical background and offers numerous suggestions for
application and further research. One example of this is the 'For
Further Reading' feature at the end of each chapter which is
perfect for assisting those who want to delve deeper into various
topics. This essential resource will be of interest to researchers,
resource providers and students alike. Contributors include: D.
Boje, A. Donnellon, T.N. Duening, R. Gill, B. Mathias, M.L.

organizing Greek words according to their frequency of appearance
in the New Testament. This text helps students maximize their study
by concentrating on the words that appear most often in the Greek
New Testament. (67)

A child-friendly format for the classic book on how emotions and
behaviors interact With wacky characters, varied type faces, and
vivid colors, this picture book introduces the vocabulary of values
with nonjudgmental language. A wide variety of character traits

splashing into a swimming pool, and playing well with
friends. The scenarios let children imagine how they might
act in a number of common situations. The Way I Act provides
parents with guidance on how to talk to their children about the
difference between feelings and actions and the choices that kids
can make in their behavior.
Colorful paper dolls that sold everything from coffee to
cathartics, from tea to thread, from cocoa to corsets. These dolls
were the playthings of generations of children from the 1890s to
the First World War. These wonderful examples of advertising art
include fanciful characters from the imagination of artists like
Palmer Cox. Dolls dressed in the national costumes of the many
immigrants to the United States had a special appeal to everyone.
Dolls depicting characters from favorite nursery rhymes and folk
tales were issued by many advertisers; these dolls filled the
playtime hours of many. Dolls appealing to our patriotism take on
the form of Uncle Sam, soldiers, and sailors. Dolls also appeared
as Americans at work and play. Human characteristics were even
ascribed to animals of all kinds to give children an opportunity to
dress them up in colorful costumes. It is difficult to find a
segment of society not represented by a paper doll! Whether you're
a collector or someone simply interested in the charm and culture
of turn-of-the-century America, this book is sure to make a good
addition to your library.
This book, first published in 1967, gives us a rich sampling of
ch’ü, the characteristic poem of the time of Yüan, when China
was under Mongol rule. The ch’ü was a popular form of poetry in
the sense that although it was written by literati, they wrote in
the vernacular rather than in Classical Chinese. Each poem was
written to be sung to an already popular tune. In addition to the
‘final translations’, the steps by which the translators
proceeded from a literal, character-by-character translation
through several intermediate stages to the final version are
revealed in detail.
Join three friends on a fun leaf-finding adventure This bouncy new

a big adventure hiking over a mountain and through a forest to
collect leaves of all kinds and colors. What will they do with all
their leaves at the end of the story? Jump and play in them, of
course
With easy rhyming text and fun sound effects, children will delight
in this rollicking autumn story.

Written by five leading executive coaches, Becoming an Exceptional
Executive Coach is the answer to any businesses' need for more
individualized development resources. Drawing on their varied
backgrounds, the authors show you that coaching is about more than
simply learning a set of skills. Rather, it's a whole-person
activity--one in which coaches connect to and serve clients in
unique and personal ways to help them grow in work and in life.
You'll learn how to draw on your professional experience, knowledge
of organizationally relevant topics, strong helping skills,
coaching-specific competencies, and most important, your ability to
use your own intuition to become a more effective leadership coach.
You will examine the crucial content areas that drive their work
such as: engagement goal setting needs assessment data gathering
feedback development planning With case studies that bring the
material to life in each chapter and a plethora of additional
charts, development plans, and contracts, Becoming an Exceptional
Executive Coach continues the discussion of the role of coaching in
organizational contexts and equips you to develop your own winning
strategies that will advance their careers--and the careers of
countless others.
The professional practice as well as the academic discipline of
planning has been fundamentally re-invented all over the world in
recent decades. In this astonishing transition, the thinking and
scholarship of Patsy Healey appears as a constantly recurring
influence and inspiration around the globe. The purpose of this
book is to present, discuss and celebrate Healey's seminal
contributions to the development of the theory and practice of
spatial planning. The volume contains a selection of 13 less
readily available, but nevertheless, key texts by Healey, which
have been selected to represent the trajectory of Patsy's work
across the several decades of her research career. 12 original
chapters by a wide range of invited contributors take the ideas in
the reprinted papers as points of departure for their own work,
tracing out their continuing relevance for contemporary and future
directions in planning scholarship. In doing so, these chapters
tease out the themes and interests in Healey's work which are still
highly relevant to the planning project. The title - Connections -
symbolises relationality, possibly the most outstanding element
linking Patsy's ideas. The book showcases the wide international
influence of Patsy's work and celebrates the whole trajectory of
work to show how many of her ideas on for instance the role of
theory in planning, processes of change, networking as a mode of
governance, how ideas spread, and ways of thinking planning
democratically were ahead of their time and are still of
importance.
Vincent van Gogh's story is one of the most ironic in art history.
Today, he is celebrated the world over as one of the most important
painters of all time, recognized with sell-out shows, feted
museums, and record prices of tens of millions of dollars at
auction. Yet as he was painting the canvases that would
subsequently become these sell-out modern masterpieces, van Gogh
was battling not only the disinterest of his contemporary audiences
but also devastating bouts of mental illness, with episodes of
depression and paralyzing anxiety which would eventually claim his
life in 1890, when he committed suicide shortly after his 37th
birthday. This comprehensive study of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890)
pairs a detailed monograph on his life and art with a complete
catalogue of his 871 paintings. About the series Bibliotheca

Dilemmas of Sustainable Urban Development offers valuable insights
into a difficult line of work whose practice inevitably requires a
confrontation with fundamental conflicts between divergent goals,
and therefore also demands difficult choices and compromises. With
contributions from leading academics and expert practitioners, this
book provides readers with diverse international case studies which
highlight and examine the concrete challenges of practicing
sustainable urban development. The examples in this book touch upon
all aspects of sustainable urban development work, from City Hall
to the local park. All of the cases unfold in their own specific
contexts under particular circumstances-but from each one of them
there are general lessons that can be used to inform practice. This
book is essential reading for anyone who is active as a student,
researcher, or practitioner in the field of urban development.
