This in-depth study offers all serious Bible students a detailed
and readable consideration of the book of Hebrews.
Intended for preachers, university and seminary students, and
adult Bible class teachers, Hebrews: Ancient Encouragement for
Believers Today is a "bridge" commentarydelivering the best
insights of contemporary scholarship in understandable,
non-technical language. The author of Hebrews used four Psalms as a
framework to re-tell the story of Jesus to a disheartened audience
that was tempted to walk away. The same structure and intense focus
on Jesus permeates and empowers this narrative commentary, bringing
fresh encouragement to believers today.
An international spectrum of Bible scholars and church leaders
commend the meticulous scholarship and sound exposition in this
book and note its tremendous clarity and simplicity, its wise
application and elegant prose. Reviewers call it "brilliant" and "a
momentous accomplishment."
Diving is an exciting sport as well as a requirement of some
vocations such as commercial diving, military diving, public safety
diving, and scientific diving. In sport diving, most learn to dive
with a half mask to cover their eyes and nose. A second stage
regulator supplies their breathing gas (air). This method of diving
is safe, simple, and time-tested over the last half century. The
diving scenarios that appear throughout this guide are actual
situations that occurred to divers. The author spoke with these
divers and recorded their experiences for the educational benefit
of the reader. The scenarios are described as the author
interpreted each of the experiences. All the divers and the people
that might be associated with their dive experience should not be
faulted for any bad situations they came to be in. Every person has
had some type of mishap in life, and the purpose for sharing these
scenarios is to teach and help avoid future incidents that might
cost someone their life.
TRAILS TO AND TALES OF SANDERSON, TEXAS. 40057 BACK COVER TEXT
Punch was sort of a mongrel. In his veins circulated the blood of
all the races found along the Gulf Coast and the Mexican border.
Like most mongrels, Punch was a survivor, smart, healthy,
dependable and loyal. Punch was a bit short of six-feet tall, slim,
always clean shaven, with graying brown hair and blue eyes. He
walked with a limp. His left leg had been messed up in a bad fall
with a cowpony some years back. The wreck pretty well retired him
from working as a full-time cowhand. Punch had an endless supply of
stories of the old days; but, no one knew where he actually came
from or exactly how old he was. It was evident that he had been a
cowboy, probably a lawman, a hunter, a trapper and perhaps, an
outlaw. Punch was fluent in Spanish and French, knew some Apache,
and most folks believed that he knew Indian sign language. He was
known to be a talented tracker. Some claimed: "He could track a
bird through the air." As little was known about Punch, folks
tended to fill the gaps with guesses and rumors. Punch never agreed
or disagreed with those who claimed to have some knowledge about
his background. As long as the avoided insulting or demeaning him,
Punch would smile, volunteer nothing and allow people to form their
own opinions about his background. He was easy going and friendly
to everyone; but, if you had the sense God gave a sheep, you would
sense Punch was not a man to be trifled with. Given the right
circumstances, Punch could be a dangerous person to cross. One of
the stories associated with Punch claimed he had trailed, on foot,
a horse-thief into Mexico and recovered a stolen horse. When people
mentioned the story to Punch, he would nod his head in apparent
agreement and tell them: "Yup, you just about got it right." Punch
knew that they were wrong...Dead wrong. Only he knew what had
happened and he wasn't talking.

Since their earliest days, institutions providing a Protestant
education have always been respected and sought-after for their
rigor and relative freedom from dogma-and despite today's
secularism and plurality, they remain so. This international
handbook is the ultimate companion to protestant schooling
worldwide. Its 39 chapters form the most comprehensive and
wide-ranging treatment of the subject yet available, addressing
Protestant education on all six inhabited continents and featuring
the perspectives of leading authorities and public figures.
The contributions cover in detail not only the facts and
features of Protestant schooling in sundry nations, but also
integrate a range of themes common to them all, themes so vital
that they are of central concern to Christians around the world and
of whatever denomination. Some of these topics are school choice,
globalization, Bible pedagogy and character education, the fine
arts, parental involvement, and the rise of Christianity in
previously inaccessible locations such as China.
The handbook's stellar list of authors is a Who's Who of
authorities on the subject and includes a renowned American
evangelical, a former historian of the US House of Representatives,
and White House consultants responsible for framing legislation.
The many contributors from outside the USA are leading academics
conducting seminal research on numerous topics in the field. Both
exhaustive and authoritative, "The International Handbook of
Protestant Education"will be an invaluable asset to educators,
ministers, parents, policy makers political leaders of any
denomination-or none.
The political events of "annus mirabilis" 1989 marked a rare
turning point in world history, but the significance of the year
for German literary history is unique. As the 40-year-old German
Democratic Republic ceased to exist, so too did the special
circumstances which had fostered a literature separate from and in
competition with that of the Federal Republic of Germany. A new
period of literary history was delimited almost overnight: Germany
Democratic Republic literature now was something to be examined as
a whole, cultural movement. At the same time, the literary
traditions of the German Democratic Republic have continued to
influence the contemporary cultural scene, often in ways that are
only gradually becoming clear.
The essays, memoirs, and plays collected in this special issue of
Contemporary Theatre Review represent an early attempt to assess
and reassess one of the German Democratic Republic's richest
cultural domains: its theatre. Contributors include David W.

A convenient single volume handbook featuring the most important topics in spectroscopy
This valuable handbook is based on topics presented in the CRC Handbook of Spectroscopy, Volumes I and II, published in 1974, and Volume III, published in 1981. The information has been condensed (by the original contributor, when possible) so that only the most important information from the original three volumes has been retained and updated. The topics covered include ESCA flame photometry; atomic absorption and emission spectroscopy, including plasma emission; infrared spectroscopy; Raman spectroscopy; ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy; electron spin resonance, X-ray spectroscopy, mass photoelectric absorption coefficients, appearance potential spectroscopy, thermal neutron cross sections and resonance integrals for activation analysis, tables of experimental values of X-ray fluorescence and Coster-Kronig yields for the K-, L-, and M-shells.
Other topics include 14 MeV neutron activation cross sections; wavelength standards in visible, ultraviolet, and near-infrared spectroscopy; electron affinities, wavelength-dependent and electronic system oscillator strengths for free diatomic molecules of astrophysical importance; electron spin resonance applicaton to the study of minerals and glasses; experimental lifetimes, Franck-Condon factors; and vibrational and rotational oscillator strengths. The concise format and wealth of information ensures that no spectroscopist will want to be without the updated and revised Practical Handbook of Spectroscopy.

What was ancient democracy like? Why did it spread in ancient
Greece? An astonishing number of volumes have been devoted to the
well-attested Athenian case, while non-Athenian democracy - for
which evidence is harder to come by - has received only fleeting
attention. Nevertheless, there exists a scattered body of ancient
material regarding democracy beyond Athens, from ancient literary
authors and epigraphic documents to archaeological evidence, out of
which one can build an understanding of the phenomenon. This book
presents a detailed study of ancient Greek democracy in the
Classical period (480-323 BC), focusing on examples outside Athens.
It has three main goals: to identify where and when democratic
governments established themselves in ancient Greek city-states; to
explain why democracy spread to many parts of Greece in this
period; and to further our understanding of the nature of ancient
democracy by studying its practices beyond Athens.
The political events of "annus mirabilis" 1989 marked a rare
turning point in world history, but the significance of the year
