Christian theology has suffered in modern times from an inability to explain its traditional reliance on metaphor to an audience intellectually formed by empiricism. The author argues that what is needed is not a more "literal" theology, but a better understanding of metaphor. Soskice offers here an account of metaphor and religious language that not only illuminates the way in which theists speak of God, but also contributes to our understand...

Published in 1987, Unequal Educational Provision in England and Wales is a valuable contribution to the field of Education.

While newly liberated American blacks were relatively free to participate in the nation's political life during the decade following the Civil War, with the end of Reconstruction and the withdrawal of federal protection, constitutional guarantees quickly were curtailed. In this analysis of the beginnings of black political development, Beatty examines the aftermath of Reconstruction through the eyes of a people who found their rights, libertie...

A wordless concept picture book meant to teach basic colors to very young children does its work excellently."--"Booklist." (Baby/Preschool)

Forty years ago Allied soldiers liberated Buchenwald, Dachau, Belsen, and other concentration camps, and came face to face with the human ruins of the Nazi system of slave labor and genocide. What they saw transformed the definition of evil in the Western mind. Inside the Vicious Heart captures the shock of that discovery by telling the story of the camp liberations as experienced by American GIs and other eyewitnesses, including Eisenhower, P...

In diesem Buch versuche ich, möglichst leicht verständlich, die bei den heute existierenden Wirtschaftssysteme, das kapitalistisch-marktwirtschaftliche und das sozialistisch-planwirtschaftliche System, in ihren Grundzügen darzustellen und miteinander zu vergleichen. Auch wenn es mir zuerst einmal darum geht, die systembedingte Unterschiedlichkeit der wichtigsten Prozesse, aus welchen sich eine Wirtschaft zusammensetzt, möglichst objektiv näher...

The papers in this volume are the invited lectures at the Second Workshop on Amine Oxidases held at the Biomedical Center, Uppsala University, 2 to 4 August 1986. It was a great pleasure for the organizers to see, in Uppsala, so many old and new friends, all brought together by our common interest in the fascinating field of Amine Oxidases. The Workshop was the successor of a long row of successful predecessors to start with the 1972 meeting i...

In The Role of State Supreme Courts in the New Judicial Federalism, Susan P. Fino presents a comprehensive analysis of the work of the state supreme court in the context of the new emphasis of states' rights. She provides both quantitative and qualitative data on state supreme court decisions, and includes an analysis of over 1, 200 opinions rendered by six selected courts, thus laying the foundation for a systematic study of the state supreme...

By the New Year of 1940 the War Office had agreed in principle to (a) the enhancement of officers' badges of rank with cloth in the colour of the arm-of-service, (b) strips of cloth in the same colours to be worn at the top of the sleeves by all ranks, and (c) the wearing of regimental flashes on Battledress. And so the rules for the wearing of battle insignia throughout the British Army were established. How far they were obeyed and how often...

This second BiBoS volume surveys recent developments in the theory of stochastic processes. Particular attention is given to the interaction between mathematics and physics. Main topics include: statistical mechanics, stochastic mechanics, differential geometry, stochastic proesses, quantummechanics, quantum field theory, probability measures, central limit theorems, stochastic differential equations, Dirichlet forms.

The Notes give a direct approach to the Selberg zeta-function for cofinite discrete subgroups of SL (2, #3) acting on the upper half-plane. The basic idea is to compute the trace of the iterated resolvent kernel of the hyperbolic Laplacian in order to arrive at the logarithmic derivative of the Selberg zeta-function. Previous knowledge of the Selberg trace formula is not assumed. The theory is developed for arbitrary real weights and for arbit...
