?George King deseaba predicar! ?l sent?a que hab?a sido llamado por Dios para hacer esa obra. Pero, toda vez que enfrentaba a un grupo de personas, tartamudeaba, balbuceaba y se olvidaba de lo que iba a decir. El joven Otho Godsmark asisti? al primer intento p?blico de George de predicar, exactamente en el living de los Godsmark, con la asistencia de toda la feligres?a. ?Pobre George! Fue tan frustrante su primera experiencia que todos coincidieron en que jam?s podr?a ser un predicador. Pero, iluminada divinamente, el Sra. Godsmark expres? la soluci?n: ?l ser?a un «predicador hogare?o»; ir?a de casa en casa, regalar?a folletos y hablar?a tranquilamente a la gente en sus hogares acerca del regreso de Jes?s. Despu?s de su primera semana yendo de puerta en puerta, King tuvo esta visi?n: mucha gente ir?a de puerta en puerta, y as? se iniciar?a la obra de difundir el evangelio de Jes?s por medio de personas conocidas como colportores. T? desear?s leer el relato hasta el mismo final mientras lo vayas viendo a trav?s de los ojos del joven Otho.

The idea that the people have a right to shape political decisions through democratic means is widely accepted. The same cannot be said of the decisions that impact on our everyday economic life in the workplace and beyond.

Andrew Cumbers shows why this is wrong, and why, in the context of the rising tide of populism and the perceived crisis of liberal democracy, economic democracy's time has come. Four decades of market deregulation, financialisation, economic crisis and austerity has meant a loss of economic control and security for the majority of the world's population. The solution must involve allowing people to 'take back control' of their economic lives. Cumbers goes beyond older traditions of economic democracy to develop an ambitious new framework that includes a traditional concern with workplace rights and collective bargaining, but shifts the focus to include consideration of individual economic rights and processes of public engagement and deliberation beyond the workplace.

This topical and original book will be essential reading for anyone interested in radical solutions for our economic and political crises.

Liberal left orthodoxy holds that Brexit is a disastrous coup, orchestrated by the hard right and fuelled by xenophobia, which will break up the Union and turn what’s left of Britain into a neoliberal dystopia.

Richard Tuck’s ongoing commentary on the Brexit crisis demolishes this narrative. He argues that by opposing Brexit and throwing its lot in with a liberal constitutional order tailor-made for the interests of global capitalists, the Left has made a major error. It has tied itself into a framework designed to frustrate its own radical policies. Brexit therefore actually represents a golden opportunity for socialists to implement the kind of economic agenda they have long since advocated. Sadly, however, many of them have lost faith in the kind of popular revolution that the majoritarian British constitution is peculiarly well-placed to deliver and have succumbed instead to defeatism and the cultural politics of virtue-signalling. Another approach is, however, still possible.

Combining brilliant contemporary political insights with a profound grasp of the ironies of modern history, this book is essential for anyone who wants a clear-sighted assessment of the momentous underlying issues brought to the surface by Brexit.

Gute Daten + gute Statistik = gute Ergebnisse! Mit diesem Buch haben falsche Statistiken keine Chance mehr. ?bersichtlich gegliedert in 6 Teile mit zusammen 20 Kapiteln werden hier alle wichtigen Typen von Daten und die Verfahren zu deren Auswertung erkl?rt. Die erkl?rte Maxime des Autors ist es, dass sich eine statistische Auswertung immer an der Art und Qualit?t der Daten orientieren muss, damit diese nicht fehl- oder ?berinterpretiert werden. Komplizierte Mathematik ist dabei weder n?tig noch erw?nscht, denn meistens sind die einfachsten Verfahren die aussagekr?ftigsten. Ein positiver Lerneffekt stellt sich bereits nach wenigen Seiten ein, denn hier werden genau die Fragen gestellt (und beantwortet!), mit denen ein angehender Mediziner oder Pharmazeut w?hrend der Ausbildung konfrontiert wird. Mit seinem ungezwungenen und direkten Stil gelingt es dem Autor, dass die Statistik vom ungeliebten Kind zum effizienten Werkzeug wird, auch ohne mathematische Begabung beim Leser. * Leicht verst?ndliche Texte (fast) ohne Formeln * Alle Beispiele kommen aus der Medizin oder der Pharmazie * Warnhinweise auf h?ufi ge Fehler und auf den unsachgem??en Einsatz von Statistiken Als leicht verst?ndliche Einf?hrung in die statistischen Grundlagen und Verfahren, die in der Medizin und in der Pharmazie eingesetzt werden, ist dieses Buch bestens geeignet f?r alle, die eine Ausbildung im medizinischpharmazeutischen Bereich absolvieren.

Considering the historical and current effects on the way these men participate in adult education, this volume broadens the conversations around adult Black males’ educational experiences by utilizing academic research as well as program descriptions and personal narratives with a concern for the “lived experiences.” More specifically, the authors explore: the agency of Black men in carving out pathways to success, the programs that support these endeavors, and the role of civil society in facilitating or inhibiting their progress. Topics covered include the digital divide, sports, professional career development, sexuality, role of religion, college as a choice, and the Black Lives Matter initiative. Practitioners will be encouraged to reflect on their own practices as they work toward engagement of Black males in learning communities. This is the 150th volume of the Jossey Bass series New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education. Noted for its depth of coverage, it explores issues of common interest to instructors, administrators, counselors, and policymakers in a broad range of education settings, such as colleges and universities, extension programs, businesses, libraries, and museums.

The current trend for constructing experimental structures is now an international phenomenon. It has been taken up worldwide by design professionals, researchers, educators and students alike. There exist, however, distinct and significant tendencies within this development that require further investigation. This issue of AD takes on this task by examining one of the most promising trajectories in this area, the rise of intensely local architectures. In his seminal essay of 1983, Kenneth Frampton redefined Critical Regionalism by calling for an intensely local approach to architectural design. Today, Frampton’s legacy is regaining relevance for a specific body of work in practice and education focused on the construction of experimental structures. Could this ultimately provide the seeds for a compelling and alternative approach to sustainable design?

Initiate innovation and get things done with a guide to the process of academic change Change Leadership in Higher Education is a call to action, urging administrators in higher education to get proactive about change. The author applies positive and creative leadership principles to the issue of leading change in higher education, providing a much-needed blueprint for changing the way change happens, and how the system reacts. Readers will examine four different models of change and look at change itself through ten different analytical lenses to highlight the areas where the current approach could be beneficially altered. The book accounts for the nuances in higher education culture and environment, and helps administrators see that change is natural and valuable, and can be addressed in creative and innovative ways. The traditional model of education has been disrupted by MOOCs, faculty unions, online instruction, helicopter parents, and much more, leaving academic leaders accustomed to managing change. Leading change, however, is unfamiliar territory. This book is a guide to being proactive about change in a way that ensures a healthy future for the institution, complete with models and tools that help lead the way. Readers will: Learn to lead change instead of simply «managing» it Examine different models of change, and redefine existing approaches Discover a blueprint for changing the process of change Analyze academic change through different lenses to gain a wider perspective Leading change involves some challenges, but this useful guide is a strong conceptual and pragmatic resource for forecasting those challenges, and going in prepared.

How can prenatal testing help your patients? In utero diagnosis has undergone an amazing revolution in recent years. More tests are available; the indications for prenatal diagnosis have expanded – you can now advise your patients about disorders you could not have previously detected. Medical training for obstetricians, medical geneticists, and genetic counselors has not kept pace with these developments. Clinical exposure to common and unusual problems in prenatal diagnosis is limited. Prenatal Diagnosis: Clinical Cases and Challenges, based on the authors’ several decades of experiences, fills this gap. Real cases portray diagnostic problems as a route to the underlying biology, the available testing options, and the results that might be obtained. The authors discuss the challenges of management, interpretation, and counseling. Cases used throughout emphasize three types of clinical problems: Chromosomal abnormalities Mendelian disorders Fetal structural abnormalities The decision to enter the world of prenatal diagnosis should be very carefully considered by any prospective mother. Prenatal Diagnosis: Clinical Cases and Challenges will help you discuss the issues in an informed manner with your patients.

Die Aufgabe der Beurteilung existierender Tragwerke stellt sich bei Umbauten oder Umnutzungen, und zunehmend auch bei der Einsch?tzung der Standsicherheit von ?ffentlich zug?nglichen Bauwerken. Bei realistischer Beurteilung k?nnen Tragreserven durch Reparaturma?nahmen aktiviert und somit die Eingriffe auf ein Mindestma? begrenzt werden, was besonders unter denkmalpflegerischen Randbedingungen erw?nscht ist. In Band 2 werden die handwerklichen Holztragwerke Mitteleuropas untersucht. Das Buch f?hrt kurz in den Holzwerkstoff ein. Die grunds?tzliche Vorgehensweise bei der Bestandsuntersuchung wird dargelegt, auch im Hinblick auf Identifikation und Datierung historischer Sch?den und Reparaturen. Handnahe Untersuchungen und zerst?rungsfreie Pr?fungen werden erl?utert, ebenso wie die Grundlagen der Standsicherheitsbeurteilung von Tragwerken mit langer Standzeit. Den Hauptteil des Werkes nimmt die detaillierte Diskussion der Konstruktionssysteme und Anschl?sse historischer Decken- und Dachtragwerke ein; das Tragverhalten wird an ?beraus zahlreichen Berechnungsbeispielen erl?utert.

Defending society against natural hazards is a high-stakes game of chance against nature, involving tough decisions. How should a developing nation allocate its budget between building schools for towns without ones or making existing schools earthquake-resistant? Does it make more sense to build levees to protect against floods, or to prevent development in the areas at risk? Would more lives be saved by making hospitals earthquake-resistant, or using the funds for patient care? What should scientists tell the public when – as occurred in L’Aquila, Italy and Mammoth Lakes, California – there is a real but small risk of an upcoming earthquake or volcanic eruption? Recent hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunamis show that society often handles such choices poorly. Sometimes nature surprises us, when an earthquake, hurricane, or flood is bigger or has greater effects than expected from detailed hazard assessments. In other cases, nature outsmarts us, doing great damage despite expensive mitigation measures or causing us to divert limited resources to mitigate hazards that are overestimated. Much of the problem comes from the fact that formulating effective natural hazard policy involves combining science, economics, and risk analysis to analyze a problem and explore the costs and benefits of different options, in situations where the future is very uncertain. Because mitigation policies are typically chosen without such analysis, the results are often disappointing. This book uses general principles and case studies to explore how we can do better by taking an integrated view of natural hazards issues, rather than treating the relevant geoscience, engineering, economics, and policy formulation separately. Thought-provoking questions at the end of each chapter invite readers to confront the complex issues involved. Readership: Instructors, researchers, practitioners, and students interested in geoscience, engineering, economics, or policy issues relevant to natural hazards. Suitable for upper-level undergraduate or graduate courses. Additional resources can be found at: http://www.wiley.com/go/Stein/Playingagainstnature

Earth is the only planet known to have fire. The reason is both simple and profound: fire exists because Earth is the only planet to possess life as we know it. Fire is an expression of life on Earth and an index of life’s history. Few processes are as integral, unique, or ancient. Fire on Earth puts fire in its rightful place as an integral part of the study of geology, biology, human history, physics, and global chemistry. Fire is ubiquitous in various forms throughout Earth, and belongs as part of formal inquiries about our world. In recent years fire literature has multiplied exponentially; dedicated journals exist and half a dozen international conferences are held annually. A host of formal sciences, or programs announcing interdisciplinary intentions, are willing to consider fire. Wildfire also appears routinely in media reporting. This full-colour text, containing over 250 illustrations of fire in all contexts, is designed to provide a synthesis of contemporary thinking; bringing together the most powerful concepts and disciplinary voices to examine, in an international setting, why planetary fire exists, how it works, and why it looks the way it does today. Students, lecturers, researchers and professionals interested in the physical, ecological and historical characteristics of fire will find this book, and accompanying web-based material, essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in all related disciplines, for general interest and for providing an interdisciplinary foundation for further study. A comprehensive approach to the history, behaviour and ecological effects of fire on earth Timely introduction to this important subject, with relevance for global climate change, biodiversity loss and the evolution of human culture. Provides a foundation for the interdisciplinary field of Fire Research Authored by an international team of leading experts in the field Associated website provides additional resources
