The focus of this book is on turning raw, quantitative data into attractive, well-designed tables and charts that tell an accurate story about the underlying data. Valerie M. Sue and Matthew Griffin's approach is unique in that they discuss theory, for example, how perspective can be used to convey the relative importance of elements in a design, and then turn that into practice as they apply the principle to creating a chart. They use Microsoft Office programs (Excel, PowerPoint, and Word) to illustrate and teach the principles, thus rendering the text accessible to a large audience.

Schüler und Freunde legen zum 100. Geburtstag von Detlef Nikolaus Witt zum zweiten Mal sein zentrales Werk "Die Evolution der menschlichen Gottesbeziehung" vor. Hier wird ein grundlegender Beitrag zum Gespräch der Religionen untereinander formuliert. Aufbauend auf dem historischen Selbstverständnis der hier behandelten Religionen zeigt sich, dass in allen Religionen immer wieder die gleichen Grundstrukturen zu erkennen sind. Der Autor, beeinflusst durch Krieg und Kriegsgefangenschaft machte sich auf die Suche nach dem einzigen Notwendigem und wurde nach dem Studium der Naturwissenschaften, Indologie, Philosophie und Theologie (Eintritt in das Benediktinerkloster St. Martin/ Beuron) der Gründer des ersten christlichen Zen Zentrums in Beuron an der Oberen Donau. Neben der Tradition des benediktinischen Mönchtums ("Pater Gregor",1953 - 1977) wurde er von Prof. Dr. Karlfried Graf Dürckheim und Pater Hugo Enomya Lassalle SJ geprägt.

Stories about success often focus on the end result -- the big win that makes all those pesky failures along the way have meaning. But for makers, the failures are just as important -- sometimes even more so -- than the end result, because of what was learned along the way.

This work, Volume II of The Secret Doctrine of the Gaon of Vilna, introduces the reader to the virtually unknown Kabbalah School of the Gaon of Vilna. This cosmology incorporates an ancient prophesy mandating a messianic interface between Kabbalah and science. The reader is taken on an exploration of the most challenging "secrets of secrets" to be found from among the entire corpus of the kabbalistic teachings of the Jewish sages: the secret mission of Mashiach ben Yoseph (the Josephic Messiah) and the Twin Messiahs, the cosmic drama of the Sacred Serpent and its role in accelerating technology, the Feast of Leviathan and its higher dimensional "flesh", and Metatron - Prince of the Presence - the ultimate key to unlocking the Gaon's Kabbalah system, specifically the doctrine of Kol HaTor, and for that matter, the entire Torah and the cosmos.

La oposición entre naturaleza y artificio está en la base de gran parte de la teoría estética del manierismo, y es en esta dicotomía donde podemos encontrar la base del arte de Benvenuto Cellini, así como el fundamento de sus posturas teóricas, que le hacen valorar en tan gran medida los aspectos técnicos de su producción. Si en la naturaleza encuentra su inspiración, pretendiendo por ello alegorizarla en sus obras mayores, el trabajo del artista ha de realizarse conforme a una técnica muy depurada y, en suma, artificiosa. Aquí radica quizá la razón última de la escritura de estos tratados que ahora se publican, que resumen desde dentro la actividad de un hombre hoy considerado como una de las más altas expresiones de l cinquecento italiano. En el presente libro, y precedida de un específico estudio introductorio de Fernando Checa, profesor de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, se recoge reunida y traducida por vez primera al español al ?integral? de los Tratados de Cellini que incl...

God, Sex, Science, Gender: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Christian Ethics is a timely, wide-ranging attempt to rescue dialogues on human sexuality, sexual diversity, and gender from insular exchanges based primarily on biblical scholarship and denominational ideology. Too often, dialogues on sexuality and gender devolve into the repetition of party lines and defensive postures, without considering the interdisciplinary body of scholarly research on this complex subject. This volume expands beyond the usual parameters, opening the discussion to scholars in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences to foster the development of Christian sexual ethics for contemporary times. Essays by prominent and emerging scholars in the fields of anthropology, sociology, psychology, philosophy, literary studies, theology, and ethics reveal how faith and reason can illuminate our understanding of human sexual and gender diversity. Focusing on the intersection of theology and science and i...

From the moment J. D. Salinger published The Catcher in the Rye in 1951, he was stalked by besotted fans, would-be biographers, and pushy journalists. In this collection of rare and revealing encounters with the elusive literary giant, Salinger discusses--sometimes willingly, sometimes grudgingly--what that onslaught was like, the autobiographical origins of his art, and his advice to writers. Including his final, surprising interview, and with an insightful introduction by New York Times journalist David Streitfeld, these enlightening, provocative, and even amusing conversations reveal a writer fiercely resistant to the spotlight but powerless to escape its glare.
