This book addresses a topic of vital concern to the church: How
does the ancient biblical text speak to us today? Michael Graves,
an expert in ancient exegesis, describes how Old Testament texts
interpret earlier Old Testament traditions, explores New Testament
reception, and explains how insights from this process translate
into present-day biblical interpretation. Graves clearly explains
and illustrates this approach with fulsome discussions of five
themes that are addressed in various ways in the Bible: personal
responsibility; sacrificial offerings; insiders and outsiders;
marriage, polygamy, and divorce; and the afterlife. By attending to
the way these topics are addressed throughout the entire biblical
witness, we become better interpreters and teachers who are more
adept at discerning the Bible's teaching on these topics and others
for our modern world.

The Definitive, Up-to-Date Guide to Digital Forensics The rapid
proliferation of cyber crime is increasing the demand for digital
forensics experts in both law enforcement and in the private
sector. In Digital Archaeology, expert practitioner Michael Graves
has written the most thorough, realistic, and up-to-date guide to
the principles and techniques of modern digital forensics. Graves
begins by providing a solid understanding of the legal
underpinnings of and critical laws affecting computer forensics,
including key principles of evidence and case law. Next, he
explains how to systematically and thoroughly investigate computer
systems to unearth crimes or other misbehavior, and back it up with
evidence that will stand up in court. Drawing on the analogy of
archaeological research, Graves explains each key tool and method
investigators use to reliably uncover hidden information in digital
systems. His detailed demonstrations often include the actual
syntax of command-line utilities. Along the way, he presents
exclusive coverage of facilities management, a full chapter on the
crucial topic of first response to a digital crime scene, and
up-to-the-minute coverage of investigating evidence in the cloud.
Graves concludes by presenting coverage of important professional
and business issues associated with building a career in digital
forensics, including current licensing and certification
requirements. Topics Covered Include Acquiring and analyzing data
in ways consistent with forensic procedure Recovering and examining
e-mail, Web, and networking activity Investigating users' behavior
on mobile devices Overcoming anti-forensics measures that seek to
prevent data capture and analysis Performing comprehensive
electronic discovery in connection with lawsuits Effectively
managing cases and documenting the evidence you find Planning and
building your career in digital forensics Digital Archaeology is a
key resource for anyone preparing for a career as a professional
investigator; for IT professionals who are sometimes called upon to
assist in investigations; and for those seeking an explanation of
the processes involved in preparing an effective defense, including
how to avoid the legally indefensible destruction of digital
evidence.
Visualization in scientific computing is getting more and more
attention from many people. Especially in relation with the fast
increase of com puting power, graphic tools are required in many
cases for interpreting and presenting the results of various
simulations, or for analyzing physical phenomena. The Eurographics
Working Group on Visualization in Scientific Com puting has
therefore organized a first workshop at Electricite de France
(Clamart) in cooperation with ONERA (Chatillon). A wide range of pa
pers were selected in order to cover most of the topics of interest
for the members of the group, for this first edition, and 26 of
them were presented in two days. Subsequently 18 papers were
selected for this volume. 1'he presentations were organized in
eight small sessions, in addition to discussions in small
subgroups. The first two sessions were dedicated to the specific
needs for visualization in computational sciences: the need for
graphics support in large computing centres and high performance
net works, needs of research and education in universities and
academic cen tres, and the need for effective and efficient ways of
integrating numerical computations or experimental data and
graphics. Three of those papers are in Part I of this book. The
third session discussed the importance and difficulties of using
stan dards in visualization software, and was related to the fourth
session where some reference models and distributed graphics
systems were discussed. Part II has five papers from these
sessions.
This fourth volume of Advances in Computer Graphics gathers
together a selection of the tutorials presented at the EUROGRAPHICS
annual conference in Nice, France, Septem ber 1988. The six
contributions cover various disciplines in Computer Graphics,
giving either an in-depth view of a specific topic or an updated
overview of a large area. Chapter 1, Object-oriented Computer
Graphics, introduces the concepts of object ori ented programming
and shows how they can be applied in different fields of Computer
Graphics, such as modelling, animation and user interface design.
Finally, it provides an extensive bibliography for those who want
to know more about this fast growing subject. Chapter 2, Projective
Geometry and Computer Graphics, is a detailed presentation of the
mathematics of projective geometry, which serves as the
mathematical background for all graphic packages, including GKS,
GKS-3D and PRIGS. This useful paper gives in a single document
information formerly scattered throughout the literature and can be
used as a reference for those who have to implement graphics and
CAD systems. Chapter 3, GKS-3D and PHIGS: Theory and Practice,
describes both standards for 3D graphics, and shows how each of
them is better adapted in different typical applications. It
provides answers to those who have to choose a basic 3D graphics
library for their developments, or to people who have to define
their future policy for graphics.
Visualization is now recognized as a powerful approach to get
insight in large datasets produced by scientific experimentations
and simulations. The contributions to this book cover technical
aspects as well as concrete applications of visualization in
various domains such as finance, physics, astronomy and medicine,
providing researchers and engineers with valuable information for
setting up new powerful environments.
This book is the sixth issue in the EurographicSeminars Series.
This series has been set up by Eurographics, the European
Association for Computer Graphics, in order to disseminate surveys
and research results out of the field of Computer Graphics.
Computer Graphics constitute a powerful and versatile tool for
various application areas. The rapidly increasing use of Computer
Graphics techniques and systems in many areas is caused by the
availability of more powerful hardware at lower prices, ' by the
concise specification of Computer Graphics Interfaces in
commonly..agreed standards, and by the inven tion of new and often
astonishing methods and algorithms for com position andpreserit
ti6n of pictJres and for graphical interaction. While s, o e issues
of this se.ries contain latest research results, e.g. the issues in
window management systems or user interface manage ment systems,
this book has the character of a state-of-the-art survey on
important areas .of Computer Graphics. Starting from current
practice and agreed consens, it will lead to the latest
achievements in this field. The contributions in this issue are
largely based on tutorials and seminars held at the Eurographics
conferences 1984 in Copen hagen and 1985 in Nice."
On 4 February 2011, the Prime Minister of Canada and the President
of the United States issued "Beyond the Border: A Shared Vision for
Perimeter Security and Economic Competitiveness". The Declaration
established a new long-term partnership built upon a perimeter
approach to security and economic competitiveness. This means
working together, not just at the border, but "beyond the border"
to enhance our security and accelerate the legitimate flow of
people, goods, and services. Leaders called for the development of
a joint Action Plan to realise this goal. This Action Plan sets out
joint priorities for achieving that vision within the four areas of
co-operation identified in the Beyond the Border Declaration:
addressing threats early; trade facilitation, economic growth, and
jobs; cross-border law enforcement; and critical infrastructure and
cyber security. This book examines the shared vision for perimeter
security and economic competitiveness between Canada and the United
States, with a focus on the border infrastructure investment plan;
emergency management assistance mechanisms; and U.S.-Canada border
traffic disruption management.

Biblical Interpretation in the Early Church is part of Ad Fontes:
Early Christian Sources, a series designed to present ancient
Christian texts essential to an understanding of Christian
theology, ecclesiology, and practice. The books in the series will
make the wealth of early Christian thought available to new
generations of students of theology and provide a valuable resource
for the Church. This volume focuses on how Scripture was
interpreted and used for teaching by early Christian scholars and
church leaders.Developed in light of recent Patristic scholarship,
Ad Fontes volumes will provide a representative sampling of
theological contributions from both East and West. The series aims
to provide volumes that are relevant for a variety of courses: from
introduction to theology to classes on doctrine and the development
of Christian thought. The goal of each volume is not to be
exhaustive, but rather representative enough to denote for a
non-specialist audience the multivalent character of early
Christian thought, allowing readers to see how and why early
Christian doctrine and practice developed the way it did.
What is true of Scripture as a result of being inspired? What
should divine inspiration cause us to expect from it? The answers
to these questions in the early church related not just to the
nature of Scripture's truth claims but to the manner in which
Scripture was to be interpreted. In this book Michael Graves delves
into what Christians in the first five centuries believed about the
inspiration of Scripture, identifying the ideas that early
Christians considered to be logical implications of biblical
inspiration. Many books presume to discuss how some current trend
relates to the "traditional" view of biblical inspiration; this one
actually describes in a detailed and nuanced way what the
"traditional" view is and explores the differences between ancient
and modern assumptions on the topic. Accessible and engaging, The
Inspiration and Interpretation of Scripture presents a rich network
of theological ideas about the Bible together with critical
engagement with the biblical text.
