In June 2005 the Lord purpose in my heart to learn more about His
word. Having a thirsty for knowledge the Spirit led me to Virginia
Baptist College (seminary school). Been obedient to the Spirit of
God He blessed me to receive my Master degree in Ministry
(Theology) May of 2008. It was during my training there I was lead
to write this book "Marriage, Seeing it God's way." Many times I
prayed asking God to show me how to be a good husband according to
his word. While writing this book the Lord helped me achieve the
desires of my heart by becoming a loving husband. After so many
years of doing things wrong in the marriage I had a yearning to do
it God's way and fulfilled my purpose as a husband. My soul purpose
was to please God and my wife (help mate) of 30 years. The Lord
revealed many things to me one particular characteristic about me
He showed me stood out more than all others. Love her as Christ
loved me with longsuffer and forgive. Out of the process of time
through many hours of seeking the Lord in pray, fasting and
studying the Scriptures, the Lord opens up my mind to put these
thought in the form of a book. I am thankful for the fellowship He
allow me to share with Him, the many conversations we had, the
tears I shed and the long hours of research. Two things I learned
about God during this process, (1) He will meet you where you are,
(2) He will always tell you what you don't want to here. Be careful
what you ask for. Writing this book also allowed me to achieve many
other goals; To come a certify Sunday school teacher ETA (Standard
& Advance courses), Ordained Elder PCAF, Inc., Aug. 2011 and a
graduate of ESSC Ministerial Training Course and a new career. I
truly thank my wife for her patient and love she was the motor that
kept me going but God was the source. I pray this book be a
blessing to all who reads it. God bless.
The Western genre provides the most widely recognized, iconic
images of masculinity in the United States - gun-slinging, laconic
white male heroes who emphasize individualism, violence, and an
idiosyncratic form of justice. This idealized masculinity has been
fused with ideas of national identity and character. Masculinities
in Literature of the American West examines how contemporary
literary Westerns push back against the coded image of the Western
hero, exposing pervasive anxieties about what it means to "act like
a man." Contemporary Westerns critique assumptions about innate
connections between power, masculinity, and "American" character
that influence public rhetoric even in the late 20th and early 21st
centuries. These novels struggle with the monumental challenge of
all Westerns: the challenge of being human in a place where "being
a man" is so strictly coded, so unachievable, so complicit in
atrocity, and so desirable that it is worth dying for, worth
killing for, or perhaps worth nothing at all.
Presenting the most current and relevant information on the
diagnosis and management of primary ovarian insufficiency, also
known as premature ovarian failure (POI/POF), this book presents
two equally important voices. The first is the scientific,
evidence-based voice discussing the latest information on POI/POF
in a concise and logical fashion: etiologies, symptoms, genetics,
mechanisms, associated conditions, as well as psychological and
lifestyle considerations. The second voice presents the
first-person stories of affected women, who are often faced with a
diagnosis of irreversible infertility at a very young age and who
somehow learn to live with great uncertainty about their ability to
create a family - a core identity issue for many women. It is thus
not simply a clinical, case-based presentation, but a more
collaborative effort between clinicians who are well-versed in the
field and women who have POI/POF. Primary Ovarian Insufficiency: A
Clinical Guide to Early Menopause will therefore be an excellent
practical yet personal reference for OB/GYNs, reproductive medicine
specialists, and any clinician, nurse or health care worker
treating women living with POI/POF.
This book, first published in 1970, analyses the factors affecting
the export performance of selected firms from particular UK
industries in the period 1958-66. The study was designed to test at
the level of the firm and industry the hypothesis that, in the
short run, variations in exports are a function of the pressure of
domestic demand. It also obtained valuable information on the
factors affecting the export performance and behaviour of firms.
Combining the fields of evolutionary economics and the humanities,
this book examines McCarthy's literary works as a significant case
study demonstrating our need to recognise the interrelated
complexities of economic policies, environmental crises, and how
public policy and rhetoric shapes our value systems. In a world
recovering from global economic crisis and poised on the brink of
another, studying the methods by which literature interrogates
narratives of inevitability around global economic inequality and
eco-disaster is ever more relevant. -- .

The format of this book is unusual, especially for a book about
linguistics. The book is meant primarily as a research monograph
aimed at linguists who have some background in formal semantics, e.
g. Montague Grammar. However, I have two other audiences in mind.
Linguists who have little or no experience of formal semantics, but
who have worked through a basic mathematics for linguists course
(e. g. using Wall, 1972, or Partee, 1978), should, perhaps with the
help of a sympathetic Montague gramma rian, be able to discover
enough of how I have adapted some of the basic ideas in formal
semantics to make the developments that I undertake in the rest of
the book accessible. Logicians and computer scientists who know
about model theoretic semantics and formal systems should be able
to glean enough from Chapters I and II about linguistic concerns
and techniques to be able to read the remainder of the book, again
possibly with the help of a sympathetic Montague grammarian.
However, readers should beware. Chapter II is not meant as a
general introduction either to formal semantics or to linguistics
and while much of the presentation there is going over ground that
is already well covered in the literature, the particular
formulation and the emphases are very much oriented to the
developments to be undertaken later in the book."
Recently, the U.S. has seen a rise in misogynistic and race-based
violence perpetrated by men expressing a sense of grievance, from
"incels" to alt-right activists. Grounding sociological,
historical, political, and economic analyses of masculinity through
the lens of cultural narratives in many forms and expressions, The
Routledge Companion to Masculinity in American Literature and
Culture suggests that how we examine the stories that shape us in
turn shapes our understanding of our current reality and gives us
language for imagining better futures. Masculinity is more than a
description of traits associated with particular performances of
gender. It is more than a study of gender and social power. It is
an examination of the ways in which gender affects our capacity to
engage ethically with each other in complex human societies. This
volume offers essays from a range of established, global experts in
American masculinity as well as new and upcoming scholars in order
to explore not just what masculinity once meant, has come to mean,
and may mean in the future in the U.S.; it also articulates what is
at stake with our conceptions of masculinity.
This fully revised new edition explores advances in the prevention
and treatment of oral diseases. Beyond the updated chapters, the
book delves into regenerative biology, gene editing and the use of
CRISPR in oral biology, as well as histone acetylation and
deacetylation methods, further reflecting advances in the
application of molecular techniques to oral biology. Written for
the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters
include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the
necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily
reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and
avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and up-to-date, Oral
Biology: Molecular Techniques and Applications, Third Edition
serves as an ideal basic resource not only for new researchers but
also for experienced scientists wishing to expand their research
platform into new areas of this vital field.

In 2005, the international community unanimously endorsed a
revolutionary norm that has the potential to end genocide and other
atrocity crimes in our time. Despite its endorsement at the highest
political level and the general feeling of the American public that
"something needs to be done" to prevent and stop atrocity crimes,
the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) is very much absent from public
thinking and the political agenda in the United States. Written by
a stellar cast of authors, this book informs the public and
leadership about R2P and its potential. It will also influence the
academic, community and political debates by providing crucial
insights on how to move R2P from rhetoric to action.
The great Slavic medieval epic, The Igor Tale, recounts the story
of a Russian prince who leads his men into battle against the
Mongols. In 1935, Soviet scholar P.N. Berkov began to compile a
bibliography of Western European translations of the poem, later
followed by several Soviet Union biographies compiling the works on
the epic that had appeared in the Russian Empire or the Soviet
Union. Here, Cooper attempts to remedy the shortcomings of previous
scholar work: to seriously survey the large body of non-Soviet
scholarship on the poem particularly Western contributions to Igor
scholarship. Originally published in 1978, Cooper traces foreign
scholarship and translations from 1900-1976 from a wide variety of
Western and some Eastern nations including the United States, Great
Britain, France, Italy, Poland, Japan and many other countries.
This title is a valuable resource for students of Literature and
Slavic Studies.

The newly revised and thoroughly updated Environmental Compliance
Made Easy handbook from Government Institutes' popular "Made Easy"
series reorganizes thousands of pages worth of federal
environmental regulatory programs into one easy-to-use compliance
resource, organized by program. Intended as both a beginner's guide
and a veteran's reference, this edition provides readers with a
concise summary of the major environmental programs and introduces
readers to the laws and regulations programs, key requirements,
responsibilities of regulated parties, and compliance and auditing
processes of each. In addition to covering air quality management,
hazardous materials management, impact assessments, and underground
storage tank management, this new edition now also covers homeland
security and emergency response, compliance audits, information
technology initiatives and innovation, pesticide management,
property transfer and due diligence, solid waste and toxic
substance management, and training. Readers will emerge with a
fundamental understanding of which environmental management
programs they should consider and how to implement them when
developing proactive, successful, and reliable regulatory
compliance programs. Key compliance sections include applicable
methods, strategies for reviewing compliance status and
implementing environmental programs, and checklists based on actual
agency protocols. Readers can use the checklists to complete
portions of their company's overall environmental compliance plan.

When can contexts and diversity be resources, rather than risks,
for children's developmental pathways? Scholars, policy makers, and
practitioners increasingly realize that middle childhood matters as
a time when children's pathways diverge, as they meet new and
overlapping contexts they must navigate on their way to adolescence
and adulthood. This volume shines new light on this important
transition by tracing how these contexts -- cultural, economic,
historical, political, and social -- can support or undermine
children's pathways, and how children's own actions and the actions
of those around them shape these pathways. With a focus on
demographic changes taking place in the U.S., the volume also maps
how experiences of diversity, reflecting culture, ethnicity,
gender, and social class, matter for children's life contexts and
options. Chapters by a team of social scientists in the MacArthur
Foundation Research Network on Successful Pathways through Middle
Childhood present the fruits of ten years of research on these
issues with diverse cultural and ethnic communities across the U.S.
These include: *a set of models and measures that trace how
contexts and diversity evolve and interact over time, with an
epilogue that aligns and compares them; *surprising new findings,
quantitative and qualitative, with cases showing how children and
families shape and are affected by their individual, recreational,
institutional, and cultural experiences; and *applications to
policy and practice for diverse children and families. The
importance of these new models, methods, findings, and applications
is the topic of commentaries by distinguished scholars with both
U.S. and international perspectives. The book is intended for
researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, as well as students
in psychology, sociology, and education.
