Sutton, Kemp, and their contributors demonstrate the importance
of place as a site of oppression "and "transformation, offering
placemaking strategies that agents of change in a variety of
disciplines can use in working with youth and adults. Their essays
lay out both a theoretical terrain and an array of case studies
that put theory into practice. This exciting new work documents the
persistent intersection of race, place, and power; illustrates
placemaking strategies that enable grassroots resistance; and
explores the novel professional roles that new technologies make
possible. It concludes with reflections upon the potential of
transformative placemaking as an antidote to the erasure of place
by global capitalism.
In her five novels and many essays, Marilynne Robinson develops a
distinctive Christian vision animated by a powerfully affirmative
and sacramental attitude toward the physical world and everyday
human life. An in-depth philosophical exploration of her work -
from Gilead to her extensive non-fiction writing - Marilynne
Robinson's Worldly Gospel reads the author's theology as
articulating a compelling response to the claim that Christianity
is an otherworldly religion whose adherents seek through it to
escape the misfortunes of this life. Ryan Kemp and Jordan Rodgers
argue that Robinson's work challenges the modern atheistic
tradition dating back to Friedrich Nietzsche to present a unique
form of contemporary faith that seeks to affirm the world rather
than deny its claims.
Either/Or is Kierkegaard's first major work and arguably his
most virtuosic. It introduces many of the most important
philosophical themes that define the rest of his authorship and
showcases - through its several pseudonyms and genres -
Kierkegaard's prodigious literary scope. In this Critical Guide, a
diverse group of scholars strike new ground in our understanding of
both this work, and Kierkegaard's authorship as a whole. Their
essays highlight the text's philosophical range, with substantial
discussions of issues in aesthetics, epistemology, ethics,
metaphysics, phenomenology, and philosophy of religion. The volume
will be essential reading for any person seeking to deepen their
understanding of Either/Or and Kierkegaard's work more
generally.

Anyone can escape danger. No one can escape the truth.
When a ship full of Sith warriors arrived in Galactic Alliance
space, the fight to destroy it accidentally uncovered a hidden
menace: a long-hidden group of clones, secretly created as
insidious weapons capable of wielding the Force and heedless of the
differences between light side and dark side. Now the clones have
escaped--and evidence suggests that they are flawed by genetic
disease and violent madness.
Jedi Knight Jaden Korr pursues the clones, hoping to heal them but
prepared to destroy them. What he doesn't know is that Sith agents
are hot on his heels, determined not only to recover the clones for
their Master but to capture Jaden for their own dark-side purposes.
In a life-or-death battle, Jaden will confront a shocking reality
that will rock him to his core and bring him face-to-face with the
question of what makes a man . . . and a Jedi.
As racially-based inequalities and spatial segregation deepen,
further strained by emergent problems associated with climate
change, ever-widening differences between wealth and poverty, and
the economic crisis, this book issues a timely call for just,
sustainable development.
Over the course of American history, there have been only four
presidents who have been forced to sacrifice their lives for their
country at the hands of an assassin. These great men have not been
forgotten, and their stories are told here in fascinating detail
for history lovers of all ages. But those four presidents are not
the only ones who have been close to death in the line of duty to
the American people. This book, A Children's Illustrated History of
Presidential Assassination, delves into all of the major
assassination attempts throughout the history of the United States,
in vivid detail, illustrated by Erin Kubinek.
When the Emperor and his notorious apprentice, Darth Vader, find
themselves stranded in the middle of insurgent action on an
inhospitable planet, they must rely on each other, the Force, and
their own ruthlessness to prevail. "It appears things are as you
suspected, Lord Vader. We are indeed hunted." Anakin Skywalker,
Jedi Knight, is just a memory. Darth Vader, newly anointed Sith
Lord, is ascendant. The Emperor's chosen apprentice has swiftly
proven his loyalty to the dark side. Still, the history of the Sith
Order is one of duplicity, betrayal, and acolytes violently
usurping their Masters-and the truest measure of Vader's allegiance
has yet to be taken. Until now. On Ryloth, a planet crucial to the
growing Empire as a source of slave labor and the narcotic known as
"spice," an aggressive resistance movement has arisen, led by Cham
Syndulla, an idealistic freedom fighter, and Isval, a vengeful
former slave. But Emperor Palpatine means to control the embattled
world and its precious resources-by political power or
firepower-and he will be neither intimidated nor denied.
Accompanied by his merciless disciple, Darth Vader, he sets out on
a rare personal mission to ensure his will is done. For Syndulla
and Isval, it's the opportunity to strike at the very heart of the
ruthless dictatorship sweeping the galaxy. And for the Emperor and
Darth Vader, Ryloth becomes more than just a matter of putting down
an insurrection: When an ambush sends them crashing to the planet's
surface, where inhospitable terrain and an army of resistance
fighters await them, they will find their relationship tested as
never before. With only their lightsabers, the dark side of the
Force, and each other to depend on, the two Sith must decide if the
brutal bond they share will make them victorious allies or lethal
adversaries.
The hard-fighting, harder-drinking fortune hunters of The Hammer
and the Blade and A Discourse in Steel are back to test their
mettle and tempt fickle fate. Fantasy fiction has long welcomed
adventurous rogues: Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser,
George R. R. Martin's Dunk and Egg, and Scott Lynch's Locke Lamora
and Jean Tannen have all made their mark. In his Egil & Nix
series, New York Times bestselling author Paul S. Kemp introduces a
daring new duo to the ranks of fantasy fame--or is it infamy? Nix
is a nimble thief with just enough knowledge of magic to get into
serious trouble. Egil is the only priest of a discredited god.
Together, they seek riches and renown, but somehow it is always
misadventure and mayhem that find them--even in the dive bar they
call home. And their luck has yet to change. All Nix wants to do is
cheer Egil up after a bout of heartbreak. And, of course, strike it
so rich that they need never worry about their combined bar bill.
But when the light-fingered scoundrel plunders a tomb and snatches
mysterious golden plates covered in runes, the treasure brings
terrifying trouble. Pursued by an abomination full of ravenous
hunger and unquenchable wrath, Egil and Nix find all they hold
dear--including their beloved tavern--in dire peril. To say nothing
of the world itself. Praise for A Conversation in Blood "An
adventure perfect for fantasy fans and action-movie lovers. It will
take readers on a wild ride with heart-pounding fights, harebrained
schemes, and several laugh-out-loud moments."--Booklist "If you
enjoy storytelling with the content sensibilities of Game of
Thrones, then imagine George R. R. Martin forced to write while
strapped to the front of a War Boys' car going 100 mph, pumped full
of Jolt Cola and Pixy Sticks with Metallica blaring from the
speakers and you approximate the full Egil & Nix experience
that [Paul S.] Kemp delivers."--Rebels Report

In the opening chapter the method of statistical geometry, based on
the construction of a Voronoi polyhedral, is applied to the pattern
recognition of atomic environments and to the investigation of the
local order in molecular dynamics-simulated materials. Next, the
authors discuss the methodology of bimolecular simulations and
their advancements, as well as their applications in the field of
nanoparticle-biomolecular interactions. The theory of molecular
dynamics simulation and some of the recent molecular dynamics
methods such as steered molecular dynamics, umbrella sampling, and
coarse-grained simulation are also discussed. The use of auxiliary
programs in the cases of modified cyclodextrins is discussed.
Additionally, results from molecular dynamics studies on cases of
inclusion compounds of molecules of different sizes and shapes
encapsulated in the same host cyclodextrin have been examined and
compared. In closing, the authors discuss the methodology of
molecular dynamics simulation with a non-constant force field. In
the context of molecular simulations, the term "force field" refers
to a set of equations and parameters for the calculation of forces
acting on the particles of the system and its potential energy.
