Molly Worthen, "Apostles of Reason: The Crisis of Authority in American Evangelicalism" English | ISBN: 0190630515 | 2016 | 376 pages | EPUB | 3 MB Evangelical Christianity is a paradox. Evangelicals are radically individualist, but devoted to community and family. They believe in the transformative power of a personal relationship with God, but are wary of religious enthusiasm. They are deeply skeptical of secular reason, but eager to find scientific proof that the Bible is true.
Katheryn M. Linduff, "Ancient China and its Eurasian Neighbors: Artifacts, Identity and Death in the Frontier, 3000-700 BCE" English | ISBN: 1108418619 | 2017 | 288 pages | PDF | 15 MB This volume examines the role of objects in the region north of early dynastic state centers, at the intersection of Ancient China and Eurasia, a large area that stretches from Xinjiang to the China Sea, from c.3000 BCE to the mid-eighth century BCE. This area was a frontier, an ambiguous space that lay at the margins of direct political control by the metropolitan states, where local and colonial ideas and practices were reconstructed transculturally. These identities were often merged and displayed in material culture. Types of objects, styles, and iconography were often hybrids or new to the region, as were the tomb assemblages in which they were deposited and found. Patrons commissioned objects that marked a symbolic vision of place and person and that could mobilize support, legitimize rule, and bind people together. Through close examination of key artifacts, this book untangles the considerable changes in political structure and cultural makeup of ancient Chinese states and their northern neighbors.

Jody C. Baumgartner, "American Political Humor [2 volumes]: Masters of Satire and Their Impact on U.S. Policy and Culture" English | ISBN: 1440854858 | 2019 | 673 pages | PDF | 6 MB Historically, there has been a tendency to regard political satire and humor as a sideshow to the wider world of American politics―entertaining and sometimes insightful, but ultimately only of modest interest to students and others surveying the trajectory of American politics and culture. Williams Jr. Norman, "American Land Planning Law: Case and Materials, Volume 2" English | ISBN: 1412848644 | 2012 | 955 pages | EPUB | 2 MB The materials in American Land Planning Law are derived from decades of experience in teaching planning law at six planning schools and three law schools. Among the hypotheses included here, two are clearly vindicated in the reading. The first involves basic tenets in the approach referred to as "legal realism" - that courts play a major role in policy formation. A second hypothesis is implicit in the basic organizational principle of these materials, that planning problems arise from land use conflicts, and further, that courts have adopted distinctive policies on these conflicts.Norman Williams' organizational format is unique. The notes provided after each case have been omitted, due to a repetition that would result from what has already been said in the text. Instead, a list of questions is provided for the student to ponder, plus occasionally a necessary background, in order to focus attention on the essential turning point in each case. Williams also provides a complete list of cross-references to all standard treatises in the field, for those who wish to explore commentators' thoughts on the subject.The scope of these materials provides an exploration of the substantive problems involved in land use law, and the legal techniques which have been evolved to deal with them. The definition of this field of law as embodied in these materials focuses on urban and suburban planning problems. A quite artificial distinction between land use law and environmental law has been observed. This is an essential text containing important land use cases and should be read by all legal analysts, urban theorists and planners, and public policymakers.

Yoshiyuki Hino, Toshiki Naito, Nguyen VanMinh, "Almost Periodic Solutions of Differential Equations in Banach Spaces" English | 2001 | pages: 258 | ISBN: 0415272661 | PDF | 7,5 mb This monograph presents recent developments in spectral conditions for the existence of periodic and almost periodic solutions of inhomogenous equations in Banach Spaces. Many of the results represent significant advances in this area. In particular, the authors systematically present a new approach based on the so-called evolution semigroups with an original decomposition technique. The book also extends classical techniques, such as fixed points and stability methods, to abstract functional differential equations with applications to partial functional differential equations. Almost Periodic Solutions of Differential Equations in Banach Spaces will appeal to anyone working in mathematical analysis.
