Excerpt from Plant Life Technical terms, which are the intellectual currency of the botanist, and imply in a single word or phrase what would be explained only in long sentences, have not been entirely avoided. Indeed, the author has been compelled to use a considerable number, but an effort has been made to lead up to their use in easy sequence, and to explain as tersely and clearly as possible what they mean. The glossarial index will assis...

They have been subsequently written out for publication in the hope that they may suggest helpful thoughts for meditation on one aspect of our Lord's teaching, an aspect to which our time would seem to give less than its due prominence. With the exception of S. Matthew xxiv. 19, all the Woes pr...

Excerpt from A Pilgrimage of British Farming, 1910-1912 My Dear Beaven, To whom but to you should I dedicate this account of our joint wanderings. For, as I read them afresh, I am always being reminded, sometimes of your methods of dealing with barley problems, the rigour of which may well put us professional men of science to shame, sometimes of the acuity of your criticisms of the work of the same class of pundits. But most of all I think...

Excerpt from An Exposition of the Litany The Litany might well form a starting-point for lectures on dogmatic and moral theology. What is chiefly attempted in the following pages, with brief and simple but accurate treatment of doctrinal points, is instruction on Prayer, to whom we pray, for what, and for whom, as we are guided by the Litany. The whole of the exposition was given in nine half-hour instructions at St. Paul's, Burlington, ...

Excerpt from The Lutheran Doctrine of the Lord's Supper: Its Biblical and Scientific Basis For the Christian the court of final appeal in all matters of doctrine is the Word of God. Not to any particular passage, but to the plain teaching of the Scripture as a whole. On no point is the teaching of the Word more explicit than on the fact of our infinite need of Christ. But the Christ that is needed is the historic Christ, the human and the div...

Excerpt from China, the Land of Contradictions China, the fantastic, flowery empire, the land of topsyturvydom, was until late years an unknown quantity to the outer "barbarians, " and even now, outside the seaports, much that is supposed to be known is purely a matter of conjecture. The beginning of an acquaintanceship between China and the Western world was only about fifty years ago, and for twenty years or more after, the acquaintanceshi...

The field of social neuroscience, on the other hand, is primarily concerned with examining brain-behavior relationships that unfold in a social context.
