A collection of ten original essays forging new interdisciplinary
connections between crime fiction and film, encompassing British,
Swedish, American and Canadian contexts. The authors explore
representations of race, gender, sexuality and memory, and
challenge traditional categorisations of academic and professional
crime writing.
This book examines the processes by which older people make housing
decisions and the impact such decisions have on the construction of
their lives. Evidence is included from a major three-year research
study, where older people told stories of their lives. The authors
argue that housing decisions are not necessarily the result of
rational, analytical and objective thinking. The contribution of
other ways of decision-making is often hidden, as when people think
intuitively, act impulsively, or for essentially emotional reasons.
Unit Operations in Winery, Brewery, and Distillery Design focuses
on process design for wineries, breweries, and distilleries; and
fills the need for a title that focuses on the challenges inherent
to specifying and building alcoholic beverage production
facilities. This text walks through the process flow of grapes to
wine, grain to beer, and wine and beer to distilled spirits, with
an emphasis on the underlying engineering principles, the equipment
involved in these processes, and the selection and design of said
equipment. Outlines the process flow of alcoholic beverage
production Reviews process engineering fundamentals (mass &
energy balances, fluid flow, materials receiving & preparation,
heat exchange, fermentation, downstream processing, distillation,
ageing, packaging, utilities, control systems, and plant layout)
and their application to beverage plants Describes the idea of
sanitary design and its application to plant operation and design
Covers critical equipment parameters for purchasing, operating, and
maintaining systems Shows how winery/brewery/distillery can
influence product "style" and how "style" can dictate design
Features examples of calculations derived from wineries designed by
the authors, end of chapter problems, and integrative in-text
problems that describe real-world issues and extend understanding
Written for both engineers in the alcohol industry and
non-engineers looking to understand facility design, this textbook
is aimed at students, winemakers, brewers, distillers, and process
engineers.
Most news media are "data rich but analysis poor" when it comes to
election polling. Since election polls clearly have the power to
influence campaigns and election post-mortems, it is important that
"spin" not take precedence over significance in the reporting of
poll results. In this volume, experts in the media and in academe
challenge the conventional approaches that most news media take in
their poll-based campaign coverage. The book reports new research
findings on news coverage of recent presidential elections and
provides a myriad of examples of how journalists and news media
executives can improve their analysis of poll data, thereby better
serving our political processes.
For years, the evangelical church and its members have debated
whether the Bible should be interpreted literally or symbolically
in regards to the age of the earth. In their groundbreaking new
book, "In the Beginning . . . We Misunderstood," authors Johnny V.
Miller and John M. Soden say that all these arguments have missed
the point. Rather, what Christians really need to know is how to
interpret the Bible in its original context.
Exposing the fallacies of trying to make the biblical text fit a
specific scientific presupposition, Miller and Soden offer a new
approach to interpreting Genesis 1 that explores the creation
account based on how the original audience would have understood
its teaching. First, the authors present a clear explanation of the
past and present issues in interpreting the first chapter of the
Bible. Second, Miller and Soden break down the creation account
according to its historical and cultural context by comparing and
distinguishing both the Egyptian and Mesopotamian settings.
Finally, they explore common objections to help readers understand
the significance that the creation account has for theology
today.
Christians need not look any further than Genesis 1 to find
clues to its meaning. Both irenic and bathed in Scripture, "In the
Beginning . . . We Misunderstood" will equip every believer to
navigate the creation wars, armed with biblically sound
explanations.

'Whether souls have returned in physical incarnations as
Platonists, as Aristotelians, as pupils of Chartres, as members of
the Dominican Order, as Templars, as Cathars, or whether these
souls accompany us as spiritual beings, a stream of spiritual
continuity that begins in the Middle Ages flows through human
history.'- Manfred Schmidt-Brabant. Why do people today look back
to the Middle Ages with such interest? Do those times have anything
to do with the present? In this enlightening series of lectures,
Manfred Schmidt-Brabant and Virginia Sease suggest that our sense
of selfhood depends on whether we can create a true relationship to
the present age. But to do this we need to understand the spiritual
roots of our time. These roots, they indicate, are present in the
Middle Ages.The impulses that originate from that time continue to
stream into modern times, helping to determine our thinking,
feeling and actions. Even the biography of Europe is largely
determined by what people of the Middle Ages thought, endured,
believed and fought over. All of this emerges today in the
consciousness of the individual and in the fabric of our
communities. To aid our comprehension of this critical period, the
authors embark on a broad historical survey of the culture and
history - both exoteric and esoteric - of the Middle Ages. Their
journey takes in King Arthur and the Celtic Mysteries; Francis of
Assisi, the Franciscans and the School of Chartres; Thomas Aquinas,
Averroes and the Dominicans; Cabbala and Jewish Mysticism; heretics
and the Cathars; Templar secrets; spiritual Alchemy and Gothic
architecture; Columbus and the Mysteries of America; and, the
Consciousness Soul and the historical Figure of Faust.

In two related studies, Peter Selg tracks the groundbreaking of
first Goetheanum from September 20, 1913, in the context of the
so-called Michael movement, the primary active pulse brought by
Rudolf Steiner in 1924 that explicitly indicates the anthroposophic
movement and its formal society. The author shows the fundamental
importance of this beginning in Dornach. He illuminates the fateful
goal of the "School of Spiritual Science" with Rudolf Steiner's
karma lectures, not only providentially in sense that it involved
individualities, but also with regard to the future progress of
human civilization. This monograph builds on Peter Selg's book
Rudolf Steiner's Foundation Stone Meditation: And the Destruction
of the Twentieth Century and Sergei O. Prokofieff's Rudolf
Steiner's Sculptural Group: A Revelation of the Spiritual Purpose
of Humanity and the Earth. Originally published in German as
Grundstein zur Zukunft. Vom Schicksal der Michael-Gemeinschaft by
Verlag des Ita Wegman Instituts, 2013.
Informative essays by professional deer biologists Comprehensive
descriptions of viable management programs Precise methods of
evaluating the effectiveness of quality deer management
In "Quality Whitetails," Drs. Karl V. Miller and R. Larry
Marchinton have assembled the expertise of some of the most
knowledgeable white-tailed deer biologists across North America.
These authorities provide in-depth explanations of deer population
biology and genetics and discuss various effective management
methods, including harvest strategies, habitat maintenance,
regional issues, and feeding and mineral supplementation for antler
production. Designed to help both sportsmen and biologists preserve
their natural resources, this guide offers direction for
maintaining robust deer populations that are in balance with their
environment.
1946 Chicago is filled with trouble; gangsters, thieves, cut
throats, dirty dealers & femme fatales. The people of the city
have problems, private detective Shamus Elias Stone fixes them, for
a price . . . A simple seeming case of a missing actress leads to a
tangled maze, as a masked killer takes his revenge. The killer
wears the mask of the villainous robots of "Cowboy Robo," Shamus
Stone suspects that the popular serial is at the center of this
case
The uncertainty of what we don't know about our universe, once
accepted, can lead us arbitrarily far. What we know about this
chronicle: The narrator is John Densch, a frustrated husband,
father and low-level technocrat who starts the whole ball rolling
with a joke about a "bog monster." We meet his wife, Doreen, who
wants so badly for John to move beyond the imaginary ensnaring him,
but finds that everything comes with a price; Bollum, a voice in
young John's head that told him tales of alien abduction and of a
technological utopia for humanity, albeit one with an expiration
date; and Derek, an abductee trapped on Bug World, at first a
character in Bollum's tales, but in time an alternate existence for
John. As John is jolted from one conflict to another, on earth and
in his head, he encounters questions big and small about faith and
self-reliance, meaning and trust. Like Derek, he must decide to
return to his normal life, or not; both know what they must swallow
to get there.
