Having had the privilege of studying the course behind this publication first-hand at Exeter, I would recommend the book to any student who seeks a thorough and well-rounded survey of the contemporary debate between science and religion.

Or is it a debate? The authors posit several models of dialogue between these two - usually separated - spheres, and this forms a core feature of this textbook: the opportunity to explore ways in which the two complement and enrich one another.

Therefore as well as being competently yet simply introduced to complex scientific questions (the Big Bang, the origin of life, quantum theory - to name a few), the author allows scope for the reader to see - for himself, and through the eyes of great thinkers, more and less famous - how it is possible to construct a working hypothesis of the inter-relation between God, humanity and the cosmos.

In the later chapters, which are a particularly unique and enjoyable section, we are introduced to the scientifically-influenced theologies of Jay McDaniel's "pelican heaven", Sallie McFague's "embodied God" and Ruth Page's "Web of Life". The reader can enjoy these models, whilst exercising a critical eye, sensitive to the scientific perceptions and phenomena so effectively outlined towards the beginning of the book.

On top of this, other views are outlined, including a section on Islamic theology and creation.

This is a great book for students and all those interested in understanding more of the world about them. It is refreshing to find a theology book which is so world-affirming, without resorting to religious dogmatism: not just a dry textbook, but a competent handbook AND a "choose you own adventure!"

As I consider this book is really inspired by God, because for me Hebrew and Aramaic are languages that really originated from God - Himself. So using this as an incantation is really wonderful and very extra ordinary because million of His angels will respond to the invocation and guard and do the bidding of the conjurer. So I hope that all occult student who wants to know the wisdom of God may know his secret and never give to uninitiated idiot.

This book is a great way to introduce Modern Latin America. The authors provide a wealth of information and present it all in an engaging narrative style. The text is ideal for college courses on Latin America or for anyone who wants to understand the Latin American and Caribbean countries with whom the U.S. shares a hemisphere.

A friend of mine loaned me this book, and he may never get it back... Because it was published in 1988, some of the data has become a bit stale, but the concepts described in this book haven't changed: buy and MEMORIZE it before you start to buy stocks, bonds, CDs, or mutual funds. The book starts simple (definitions, why certain things are considered important) and then clearly works up to the complex (options, commodities, futures). It is simple where it should be simple, and complex where it should be complex--which makes this book both easy to read, and easy to learn from.

Este libro ofrece un utilísimo recuento de hechos ligados al reciente auge en la entrada de capitales hacia América Latina, abarcando tanto las relaciones macroeconómicas como los aspectos específicos del sector financiero. Los trabajos se ven enriquecidos por comentarios de reconocidos expertos en la formulación de políticas y destacados participantes del sector privado en los mercados de capital. La novedad e interés de sus planteamientos e información son más que suficientes para motivar e inspirar un buen número de disertaciones doctorales de primer nivel. Sin duda una obra de lectura obligatoria en los cursos de finanzas internacionales.

Great if you would like to understand the pros and cons of matrix organizations -- when to use them and when not, as well as how to implement them and pitfalls. Includes case studies.

I read this book over the weekend and have already sent out a mass email to parents I know telling them to read this book! This book succinctly and honestly answers questions that I'm always hearing on the "parent circuit." Not only about about teasing, but about all social skills, popularity, being ostracized, girls worrying they are fat-- you name it, it is probably addressed in this book. And the authors do a wonderful job of letting you know when you are worrying too much, or too little about an issue. A must read!

Illinois Issues, devoted to Illinois politics, has published its second edition of this collection of sketches of Illinois governors. A colorful and sometimes idealistic lot.

Being very new to the Atlanta area, I needed some help finding my way around and knowing where to shop for what. This book eased my transition, and more than paid for itself.
