Religious beliefs and attitudes have long been recognized as playing an important role in sexual functioning, but the relationship between religion and sexual behavior has rarely been studied in a comprehensive way. The essays in this volume bring the views of sex counsellors, therapists. theologians, and bioethicists to bear on the relationship between religion and sexuality. A major theme emerging from these essays is that religion and counselling need to learn from one another. Religious traditions, at the popular or theological levels, are often marked by ignorance and misinformation about sexuality and can benefit by the insights of those who work closely with patients in medical and counselling settings. Counsellors, in turn, need to develop a sensitivity to past and present religious attitudes toward sexuality in order to assist their patients achieve sexual health.

Minuscule representations occur in a variety of contexts in mathematics and physics. They are typically much easier to understand than representations in general, which means they give rise to relatively easy constructions of algebraic objects such as Lie algebras and Weyl groups. This book describes a combinatorial approach to minuscule representations of Lie algebras using the theory of heaps, which for most practical purposes can be thought of as certain labelled partially ordered sets. This leads to uniform constructions of (most) simple Lie algebras over the complex numbers and their associated Weyl groups, and provides a common framework for various applications. The topics studied include Chevalley bases, permutation groups, weight polytopes and finite geometries. Ideal as a reference, this book is also suitable for students with a background in linear and abstract algebra and topology. Each chapter concludes with historical notes, references to the literature and suggestions for further reading.

This new revision of a standard work gives a general but comprehensive introduction to positional astronomy. Useful for researchers as well as undergraduates.

I have been a believer in Jesus Christ all my life, but throughout all the years I have been going (and admittedly, NOT going) to church, I still had many questions in the back of my mind that needed answers. I needed these answers to fully grasp and embrace my true understanding of who God is, who Jesus Christ is, why we do so many things the way we do when we are in church, and how these answers would affect my life. After receiving the answers to these questions, and finally gaining more understanding by reading and studying the Bible, and scripture lessons from pastors who know and believe the Bible is the true and complete Word of God, one thing became dreadfully clear - I was a carnal Christian. While we will never be perfect, I pray that by reading this collection of poems and essays, they will answer enough questions for those seeking a closer relationship with Jesus Christ, and enable one to be a true-walking, true talking follower of our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ
