Описание: This textbook provides an introduction to gravitational lensing, which has become an invaluable tool in modern astrophysics, with applications that range from finding planets orbiting distant stars to understanding how dark matter and dark energy conspired to form the cosmic structures we see today. Principles of Gravitational Lensing begins with Einstein’s prediction that gravity bends light, and shows how that fundamental idea has spawned a rich field of study over the past century.The gravitational deflection of light was first detected by Eddington during a solar eclipse in May 1919, launching Einstein and his theory of relativity into public view. Yet the possibility of using the phenomenon to unlock mysteries of the Universe seemed remote, given the technology of the day. Theoretical work was carried out sporadically over the next six decades, but only with the discovery of the system Q0957+561 in 1979 was gravitational lensing transformed from a curiosity of general relativity into a practical observational tool.This book describes how the three subfields known as strong lensing, weak lensing, and microlensing have grown independently but become increasingly intertwined. Drawing on their research experience, Congdon and Keeton begin with the basic physics of light bending, then present the mathematical foundations of gravitational lensing, building up to current research topics in a clear and systematic way. Relevant background material from physics and mathematics is included, making the book self-contained.The derivations and explanations are supplemented by exercises designed to help students master the theoretical concepts as well as the methods that drive current research. An extensive bibliography guides those wishing to delve more deeply into particular areas of interest. Principles of Gravitational Lensing is ideal for advanced students and seasoned researchers looking to penetrate this thriving subject and even contribute research of their own.

Описание: Arguing with Aseneth reads the ancient romance Joseph and Aseneth as a participant in ancient Jewish debates around gentile access to Israel`s God. It traces how Joseph and Aseneth builds a case through its heroine for gentile incorporation and how other ancient Jewish thinkers, including Paul, would have argued back.

Описание:

DaoDeJing serves as one of the two foundational sources for Chinese culture. Other societies have tried to understand this collection of wisdom-metaphors, usually superimposing their own assumptions on this unique tradition. This 21st-century translation of the ancient Chinese wisdom-metaphors of DaoDeJing has been influenced by previous English translations, yet it radically departs from them. 19th century English grammar-syntax-semantics proposed extremely limited ranges of meanings for the Chinese characters. This work seeks to update and modernize contemporary meanings and bonds between European and Chinese cultures, and their languages. Using the interpreting lens of Alfred North Whitehead's philosophy of organism, commonly known as "process philosophy," DaoDeJing: a Process Perspective explores multiple layers, meanings, and values underlying ancient Chinese culture. For more than 4,000-years, these meanings have created the fabric of a growing contemporary influence in politics and economics. Western thinkers are just beginning to appreciate their nuances and profound importance. This new, organic translation seeks to answer a series of epistemological-cosmological questions starting with, "What's happening here?" From the perspective of "events," rather than "objects-with-characteristics," it explores subtle yet profound meanings by focusing on the "action" occurring between and among the Chinese characters. Where normative definitions have been accepted routinely by scholars, this work investigates the deeper relationships operating within the structure of the wisdom-metaphors, individually and collectively. This scholarship makes bold suggestions for ethical-living and social-governance, providing opportunities for engagement between two quite different cultures and civilizations. It also presents a constructive alternative to the current Western model of competing-dominating-exploiting. DaoDeJing promotes cooperating between "contrasts," dynamically-transforming those contrasts into a harmonious balance. This function is quite different from the standard western model of "compromise," where each component of the "contrast" experiences no real fulfillment, instead settling for something deemed hierarchically inferior. The dynamic-transforming of DaoDeJing yields a creative advance for all contrasting elements. It is not a "zero-sum" contest. It is an Endlessly-Creating series of dynamically-transforming processes. DaoDeJing offers a profound alternative to western approaches to power where subjugating and dominating yield only rancor and divisiveness. It is our firm hope that the concepts of "balance" and "harmony" in DaoDeJing can offer new vistas of "Creating-Endlessly" for all peoples and cultures.

Описание: Heartaches unto Grace is a story that is like millions of others. Perhaps it is like your very own story today. It is about a husband who is totally dedicated to his country. The author says, "I was honored to have been a military wife for twenty years during my husband's army career. I never doubted that God was carrying my heavy load of heartaches. My anger, bitterness, rejection, and self-pity were inconceivable. I learned that nothing could stop an addicted spouse from drinking except prayer." When the author attended Al-Anon's Twelve Steps program and learned of New Thought's spirituality, it grieved her heart. She says, "Our heavenly Father gives us what we cannot achieve ourselves-His gift of grace by the Lord Jesus Christ "
