technologists, and radiation therapists seeking to get started in
research in their profession. Additionally, biomedical imaging
engineering technologists, radiologists, and medical imaging
physicists may use this as a "guiding principles" textbook.
More than any other prophet, Jeremiah struggled to understand God's
will for him and for the people of God. This volume on the first
twenty chapters of Jeremiah recounts the story of this poet-prophet
and opens up for the reader one of the most warmly personal books
of the Old Testament. Carrying forward brilliantly the pattern
established by Barclay's New Testament series, The Daily Study
Bible has been extended to cover the entire Old Testament as well.
Invaluable for individual devotional study, for group discussion,
and for classroom use, The Daily Study Bible provides a useful,
reliable, and eminently readable way to discover what the
Scriptures were saying then and what God is saying today.
Fascinating, surprising, challenging--these are among the words
used by Robert Davidson to describe the two books covered in this
commentary. The book of Ecclesiastes concerns the ultimate meaning
of life itself and reminds us that we can be happy even amid
uncertainty. The Song of Solomon invites us to an exploration of
love that reminds us of God's unending care for the world. Carrying
forward brilliantly the pattern established by Barclay's New
Testament series, The Daily Study Bible has been extended to cover
the entire Old Testament as well. Invaluable for individual
devotional study, for group discussion, and for classroom use, The
Daily Study Bible provides a useful, reliable, and eminently
readable way to discover what the Scriptures were saying then and
what God is saying today.

At the conclusion of Volume 1 of Robert Davidson's commentary on
the book of Jeremiah, the prophet was depicted as steadfastly
clinging to his faith in God in the midst of doubt and despair. In
Volume 2 Davidson examines Jeremiah's uncomfortable relationship
with the political and religious establishments of his day. He
guides us through the prophecies given in the last years of
Jerusalem, the account of the fall of Jerusalem, the oracles
against foreign nations, and a final historical appendix. In
discussing Lamentations, Davidson states that in this biblical book
are found not only moving and passionate expressions of grief and
sorrow, but also of faith.. Such faith was only possible for those
who took seriously what Jeremiah had all along said about the
inevitable working out of God's judgment upon Jerusalem. Carrying
forward brilliantly the pattern established by Barclay's New
Testament series, The Daily Study Bible has been extended to cover
the entire Old Testament as well. Invaluable for individual
devotional study, for group discussion, and for classroom use, The
Daily Study Bible provides a useful, reliable, and eminently
readable way to discover what the Scriptures were saying then and
what God is saying today.

Diese auf einem werkbiografischen Zugang beruhende Arbeit stellt
die erste Monografie zu Gustav Kolb (1870-1938) und der von ihm
begrundeten Erlanger Reformpsychiatrie dar. Auf Basis einer
Vielzahl erstmals gesichteter und ausgewerteter Quellen gewahrt sie
neue Einblicke in die Entstehungsgeschichte und Praxis der von Kolb
entwickelten offenen Fursorge und liefert neue Erkenntnisse zu
seinem persoenlichen Werdegang und zu seinen psychiatrischen und
politischen UEberzeugungen. Die Annaherung des Erlanger
Reformpsychiaters an die psychiatrische Eugenik und seine
wissenschaftliche Zusammenarbeit mit den Erbpsychiatern, Ernst
Rudin (1874-1952) und Hans Luxenburger (1894-1976), werden hier
erstmals im Detail analysiert. Daruber hinaus wird Kolbs Haltung
zum Nationalsozialismus, zur NS-Rassenhygiene sowie die Umstande
seiner Ruhestandsversetzung Ende des Jahres 1933 naher untersucht.

Chapters 12-50 of the book of Genesis may be considered as
enshrining the patriarchal traditions of the Jewish people. Besides
the elements of poetry and legend embodied in these traditions,
Professor Davidson shows that there can be a historical basis for
the narratives and offers guidelines for exploring it. The Genesis
stories cannot simply be seen as a reading back into earlier times
of the background to the social customs and religious outlook of
their later editors. Introductory sections deal with the sources,
historicity and general characteristics of the narratives, and are
followed by a section-by-section presentation of the text with
commentary in the established style of the series.
Chapters 1-11 of Genesis are like a poetic prologue to the early
history of the Jewish people and to their religion. For
Christianity also they later fulfil a similar purpose. Professor
Davidson takes these chapters as a separate unity, comments on
them, and explains their religious significance and their place in
the Bible as a whole. Introductory sections on the sources and
purpose of the book, and the meaning of myth, lead straight into
the text and commentary which alternate with each other in the
style of the series.
Based on Haida artist Robert Davidson's own experiences with Tsinii
(his grandfather), this tender story highlights intergenerational
knowledge and authentic learning experiences. Off the northern tip
of Haida Gwaii, a boy goes fishing with Tsinii, his grandfather. As
they watch the weather, jig for halibut, and row with the tides,
the boy realizes there's more to learn from Tsinii than how to
catch a fish. Written by the creators of Potlatch as Pedagogy, this
book brings the Sk'ad'a Principles to life through the art of
Janine Gibbons.
Over six decades of brilliant prints and paintings from the most
prominent Northwest Coast artist of his generation. Since leaving
Haida Gwaii to study art in Vancouver-where he carved argillite
with Bill Reid in a department store and hand-sold prints on the
UBC campus-Guud sans glans, Robert Davidson has moved between two
worlds. As a host of Potlatches, carver of masks and totem poles,
and performer and teacher of traditional Haida songs and dances, he
has been one of the driving forces in the resurgence of Haida
culture in the aftermath of colonization. As an artist working in
serigraphs, acrylic, wood, silver, and aluminum to preserve and
breathe new life into Haida formline, he has become among the most
respected, celebrated, and thrilling artists in the country, if not
the world. Echoes of the Supernatural is the first publication in
over forty years to offer a comprehensive visual retrospective of
his astonishing career. It includes new photography of over 150
prints, as well as images of over fifty paintings; numerous painted
woven hats, painted and carved sculptures, jewellery, aluminum
sculpture; and dozens of archival photos. His long-time gallerist
Gary Wyatt, who worked closely with Davidson in shaping the book
and received full access to his archives, details the artist's life
and career, and offers insights on the work based on extensive new
interviews. A foreword by Karen Duffek situates the contours of
Davidson's practice within the broader Northwest Coast art world.

Based on Haida artist Robert Davidson's own childhood experiences,
this beautiful story highlights learning through observation, as
well as the role of Elders in sharing knowledge and mentorship.
Learning to carve is a lifelong journey. With the help of his
father and grandfather, a boy on Haida Gwaii practises to become a
skillful carver. As he carefully works on a new piece, he remembers
a trip to Slatechuck Mountain to gather the argillite, as well as
his father's words about the importance of looking back to help us
find our way. Written by the creators of Potlatch as Pedagogy, this
book brings the Sk'ad'a Principles to life through the art of
Janine Gibbons.
In 1884, the Canadian government enacted a ban on the potlatch, the
foundational ceremony of the Haida people. The tradition, which
determined social structure, transmitted cultural knowledge, and
redistributed wealth, was seen as a cultural impediment to the
government's aim of assimilation. The tradition did not die,
however; the knowledge of the ceremony was kept alive by the Elders
through other events until the ban was lifted. In 1969, a potlatch
was held. The occasion: the raising of a totem pole carved by
Robert Davidson, the first the community had seen in close to 80
years. From then on, the community publicly reclaimed, from the
Elders who remained to share it, the knowledge that has almost been
lost. Sara Florence Davidson, Robert's daughter, would become an
educator. Over the course of her own education, she came to see how
the traditions of the Haida practiced by her father--holistic,
built on relationships, practical, and continuous--could be
integrated into contemporary educational practices. From this
realization came the roots for this book.
