Comedy starring Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson as three
men in different stages of life competing to become champion
birdwatchers. Stu (Martin) is a successful business executive on
the brink of retirement. Brad (Black), the youngest of the three,
works as a computer programmer but lacks direction and focus in his
life. Meanwhile, the obsessive and unscrupulous Kenny (Wilson) will
stop at nothing to hold onto his title of World's Greatest Birder.
As they travel the length and breadth of North America as
participants of the 'Big Year' competition, in which birders
compete to spot the greatest number of bird species in the United
States over the course of one year, the three men discover as much
about themselves and each other as they do about America's bird
population.

The remarkable true story of a young Billy Graham and his best
friend who walked away from the faith.
We all know how the story ends but how did it begin? Before he
became a household name, and "America's Pastor," he was simply
known as Billy. When he wasn't playing baseball, he was discovering
his love for Christian ministry. His best friend, Charles
Templeton, was already on track to be a highly successful
evangelist and the two young men began strategizing on how to win
the world for Christ. That plan takes a drastic turn, however, when
Templeton deserts the faith and becomes an atheist. The impact of
this decision on a young Billy Graham is immeasurable and
agonizing. Charles would later become the great intellectual
architect for agnosticism and atheism. Billy would become the
single greatest messenger for the Christian Gospel. It is one of
the great untold dramas between friends - Atheism vs Christianity,
betrayal and hope.

We're called to be like Jesus, not like each other - so why are
most Western churches predominantly middle class? Could it be that
we're reaching out to people in poverty, but struggling to connect
them into church life? Natalie Williams and Paul Brown know all too
well that those saved from working-class backgrounds often find
themselves discipled effectively - but into middle classism rather
than authentic Christianity. Drawing on their own experiences, and
mixing theory with practical application, they explore the
invisible divides that prevent churches from becoming places of
true inclusion and keep poor and working-class people on the edges
of faith. Packed full of surprising insights and helpful advice,
Invisible Divides will change the way you see church life.
Essential reading for anyone concerned with the class divide within
the church, it will challenge you to look at the ways in which we
inadvertently exclude, alienate and offend people who aren't like
us, and equip you to start working towards making church a more
open, inclusive space for everyone. Jesus calls for us all to
follow him, no matter our background; together, we can break down
the invisible divides between us so that people from all walks of
life can come to know Christ and find family in our churches.
This book examines the increasing significance of DNA profiling for
crime investigation in modern society. It focuses on developments
in the UK as the world-leader in the development and application of
forensic DNA technology, and in the construction of DNA databases
as an essential element in the successful use of DNA for forensic
purposes. The book uses data collected from funded research into
police uses of the UK National DNA Database (NDNAD) to describe the
relationship between scientific knowledge and police
investigations. It refers to some of the major UK criminal cases in
which DNA evidence has been presented and contested. Chapters in
the book explain the scientific developments which have enabled DNA
profiling to be applied to criminal investigation, the ways in
which the state has directed this, and how genetic technology has
risen to such preeminence; how DNA evidence moved from its use in
individual prosecutions to a major role in intelligence led
policing, and saw the de
The number of people suffering from different eating disorders has
grown dramatically within the last twenty years. These two volumes
examine feeding difficulties and eating disorders in children and
adolescents, from babies to 19-year-olds. The volumes consist of
clinical cases that describe the process of psychoanalytic
psychotherapy used to treat the patients. The contributors look at
the underlying causes for the disorders, such as bulimia and
anorexia, lead to a normal life with the help of psychoanalytic
psychotherapy. In addition, this collection takes into account the
profound effects eating disorders have, not only on the patients,
but on their immediate family and friends as well. 'Many cases
describe the anxieties and strategies of defence used against
feelings of dependence and the risk of accepting from another. This
is a core theme in both volumes and is the principle idea behind
the paradoxical title, The Generosity of Acceptance.

This book examines and analyses the connections between gastronomy,
tourism and the media. It argues that in the modern world,
gastronomy is increasingly a major component and driver of tourism
and that destinations are using their cuisines and food cultures in
marketing to increase their competitive advantage. It proposes that
these processes are interconnected with film, television, print and
social media. The book emphasises the notion of gastronomy as a
dynamic concept, in particular how it has recently become more
widely used and understood throughout the world. The volume
introduces core concepts and delves more deeply into current trends
in gastronomy, the forces which shape them and their implications
for tourism. The book is multidisciplinary and will appeal to
researchers in the fields of gastronomy, hospitality, tourism and
media studies.
