The fascinating science and history of radiation
More than ever before, radiation is a part of our modern daily lives. We own radiation-emitting phones, regularly get diagnostic x-rays, such as mammograms, and submit to full-body security scans at airports. We worry and debate about the proliferation of nuclear weapons and the safety of nuclear power plants. But how much do we really know about radiation? And what are its actual dangers? An accessible blend of narrative history and science, Strange Glow describes mankind's extraordinary, thorny relationship with radiation, including the hard-won lessons of how radiation helps and harms our health. Timothy Jorgensen explores how our knowledge of and experiences with radiation in the last century can lead us to smarter personal decisions about radiation exposures today.
Jorgensen introduces key figures in the story of radiation--from Wilhelm Roentgen, the discoverer of x-rays, and pioneering radioactivity researchers Marie and Pierre Curie, to Thomas Edison and the victims of the recent Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. Tracing the most important events in the evolution of radiation, Jorgensen explains exactly what radiation is, how it produces certain health consequences, and how we can protect ourselves from harm. He also considers a range of practical scenarios such as the risks of radon in our basements, radiation levels in the fish we eat, questions about cell-phone use, and radiation's link to cancer. Jorgensen empowers us to make informed choices while offering a clearer understanding of broader societal issues.
Investigating radiation's benefits and risks, Strange Glow takes a remarkable look at how, for better or worse, radiation has transformed our society.

Описание: There is no book quite like this if you know a little bit about St. Francis and want to know more. Each chapter describes a pilgrimage to a place in Italy that's central to Francis's biography written by one of his most literary modern biographers. Greccio, Cortona, Assisi, and La Verna were dear to Francis and his early companions--and come alive in these pages. J rgensen offers a glimpse into a bygone world, and inspiration to all who seek to follow the way of St. Francis today.
"As I kneeled amid those barefooted, brown-habited friars, who in the darkness raised their hands and their hearts to heaven in voiceless prayer, I realized more vividly than ever before what the Middle Ages were--how far removed the twentieth century was--how far away beyond the crest of the mountains was the modern world, and how remote the great, busy towns, with their glare and noise, unrest and endless amusements, seemed." (From the Book)

Описание: In Network Theory and Analysis, the authors begin by examining the resource curse that explains the tendency of natural resource rich economies to perform poorly economically, as well as how these resources mediate other development challenges like poor governance, corruption, excessive borrowing, currency movement, neglect of manufacturing and agricultural sectors and violent conflict. They argue that the conceptualization of the curse suffers from methodological nationalism where state weaknesses and strengths are regarded as the main factors that condition the impact of resources. Next, a study focusing on Brazils public health care is presented, suggesting that physicians with more professional connections probably take on more diverse professional occupations. Establishing policies like limiting weekly workload in the public health care system may lead to improving the efficiency of the overall network. Following this, the book examines social network analysis, the process of Identifying relationships between organizations, people, and connected information entities by mapping. The authors pay particular attention to the connection between actors, sense of independence, and emergent impacts. In the subsequent chapter, insight on IP addressing is provided, as well as on different IP addressing systems available today. The details of the prefix notation and CIDR notation are explained, and the various fields of the IPv4 header are discussed. Lastly, the various fields of the IPv6 and the difference between the IPv4 and the IPv6 addressing system are examined.

Автор: David W. Jorgensen Название: Treasure Hidden in a Field: Early Christian Reception of the Gospel of Matthew ISBN: 311047655X ISBN-13(EAN): 9783110476552 Издательство: Walter de Gruyter Рейтинг: Цена: 123910.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This reception history of the Gospel of Matthew utilizes theoretical frameworks and literary sources from two typically distinct disciplines, patristic studies and Valentinian (a.k.a. "Gnostic") studies. The author shows how in the second and third centuries, the Valentinians were important contributors to a shared culture of early Christian exegesis. By examining the use of the same Matthean pericopes by both Valentinian and patristic exegetes, the author demonstrates that certain Valentinian exegetical innovations were influential upon, and ultimately adopted by, patristic authors. Chief among Valentinian contributions include the allegorical interpretation of texts that would become part of the New Testament, a sophisticated theory of the historical and theological relationship between Christians and Jews, and indeed the very conceptualization of the Gospel of Matthew as sacred scripture. This study demonstrates that what would eventually emerge from this period as the ecclesiological and theological center cannot be adequately understood without attending to some groups and individuals that have often been depicted, both by subsequent ecclesiastical leaders and modern scholars, as marginal and heretical.
