Free Download Exploring Human Behavior Through Isotope Analysis: Applications in Archaeological Research by Melanie M. Beasley, Andrew D. Somerville
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 308 Pages | ISBN : 3031322665 | 27.5 MB
This edited volume compiles a series of chapters written by experts of isotopic analysis in order to highlight the utility of various isotope systems in the reconstruction of past human behaviors. Rather than grouping contributions by specific isotopes or analytical techniques, as many isotope review articles are arranged, the volume organizes chapters by broadly defined themes of archaeological research. These include: paleodiet and life histories, human-animal interactions, and migration and mobility. In this sense, the book is arranged with the intent of being as much question based as method based.

Free Download Explorations in Theology By Hans Urs von Balthasar
1995 | 470 Pages | ISBN: 0898705436 | EPUB | 1 MB
The fourth volume in von Balthasar's essays is built around the theme of Spirit and Institution, the two central features of the Church which Balthasar approaches from different angles. The third volume is built around the theme of the Holy Spirit as the Creator Spirit. The first volume was constructed around the mid-point of the Word become man, and the second volume around the Church which becomes configured to him.The first part of the book looks at who man is, and then examines the distinctively Christian experience of God. Part two is a whole section on the Church which includes topics like celibacy and the priesthood today, how we should love the Church, and understanding Christian mysticism. The third and final part is an eschatology in which Balthasar gives a brilliant summary of heaven, hell and purgatory.

Free Download Explorations in Theology, Vol. 5: Man Is Created By Hans Urs von Balthasar
2014 | 472 Pages | ISBN: 1586176927 | EPUB | 1 MB
The last volume in this theological series, these works present a rare opportunity to experienceBalthasar'ssynthetic and comprehensive treatment of major themes in theology without having to make one's way through more extensive works which cover a much wider scope. Each volume focuses on a specific aspect of theology or spirituality and presents it with all the richness which comes from his immense erudition, but in a style that is directed and intelligible since few of these essays were intended for scholarly audiences. They give an excellent overview of the writings and thought of one of the outstanding theologians of this century. In this final volume,Balthasarfocuses on the purpose of man as created by God. He begins with these words: Man is 'created to praise, reverence, and serve God our Lord, and by means of this to save [his] soul.' Constant repetition has made this line from theIgnatianSpiritual Exercisesseem like a trite platitude. What could we possibly say about these words that has not already been said before? Of course, scarcely anyone still remembers, or is even willing to acknowledge, thisIgnatianinsight, though Ignatius himself understood it as the 'principle and foundation' of all human and Christian truth, or at least as a summary of the ABC's for people wanting an introduction to Christianity. A bird's eye view of the history of Christian theology reveals an astonishing truth: The seemingly banal gateway to theSpiritual Exercisesturns out to be anything but traditional, at least if it is the great tradition of European thinking that we have in mind. Divided into two parts, PRAISE, REVERENCE, AND SERVICE and BEFORE GOD'S FACE-IN GOD'S HEART, some of the many topicsBalthasarcovers in this volume include: The Serenity of the Surrendered Self, On the Christian's Capacity to See, Health between Science and Wisdom, The Person, Sexuality, and Death, The Dignity of Women, Mary and the Holy Spirit, The Eternal Child, How God Forgives, Introspection and Self-transcendence, God among Us, Peace in Theology, The Beatitudes and Human Rights, Finding God in All Things, and more.

Free Download Evolutionary Dynamics of Malignancy: The Genetic and Environmental Causes of Cancer by Robert C. Jackson
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 271 Pages | ISBN : 3031325729 | 19.4 MB
Advances in cancer genomics are transforming our understanding of cancer, and have profound implications for its prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Evolutionary dynamics suggests that as few as two mutations can cause transformation of normal cells into cancer stem cells. A process of Darwinian selection, involving a further three or more mutations, taking place over a period of years, can then result in progression to a life-threatening tumour. In many cases the immune response can recognise and eliminate the mutant cells, but most advanced tumours have mutations that activate immune checkpoints and enable the tumour to hide from the immune system. For the most hard-to-treat tumours, future progress will require molecular diagnostics to detect cancer-causing mutations in healthy subjects, and new drugs or vaccines that prevent the progression process.

Free Download René Girard, "Evolution and Conversion: Dialogues on the Origins of Culture "
English | ISBN: 1350018236 | 2017 | 216 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Evolution and Conversion explores the main tenets of René Girard's thought in a series of dialogues. Here, Girard reflects on the evolution of his thought and offers striking new insights on topics such as violence, religion, desire and literature. His long argument is a historical one in which the origin of culture and religion is reunited in the contemporary world by means of a reinterpretation of Christianity and an understanding of the intrinsically violent nature of human beings. He also offers provocative re-readings of Biblical and literary texts and responds to statements by Daniel Dennett and Richard Dawkins. Including an introduction by the authors, this is a revealing text by one of the most original thinkers of our time.

Free Download Andrew S Moore, "Evangelicals and Presidential Politics: From Jimmy Carter to Donald Trump"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 0807174343 | 208 pages | AZW3 / MOBI | 0.73 MB
Using as their starting point a 1976 Newsweek cover story on the emerging politicization of evangelical Christians, contributors to Evangelicals and Presidential Politics engage the scholarly literature on evangelicalism from a variety of angles to offer new answers to persisting questions about the movement. The standard historical narrative describes the period between the 1925 Scopes Trial and the early 1970s as a silent one for evangelicals, and when they did re-engage in the political arena, it was over abortion. Randall J. Stephens and Randall Balmer challenge that narrative. Stephens moves the starting point earlier in the twentieth century, and Balmer concludes that race, not abortion, initially motivated activists. In his examination of the relationship between African Americans and evangelicalism, Dan Wells uses the Newsweek story's sidebar on Black activist and born-again Christian Eldridge Cleaver to illuminate the former Black Panther's uneasy association with white evangelicals.
