Dread and Hope: Christian Eschatology and Pop Culture - Original PDF
Dread and Hope: Christian Eschatology and Pop Culture - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Joshua Wise خلاصه: Description: Christianity was born in the midst of great expectation and fear about the world’s future. The existing Jewish paradigm of the coming Messiah, his antithesis, and the initiation of the coming age set the stage for Christian beliefs about the end of the current age. However, the unexpected death and resurrection of Jesus caused that paradigm to be reformed within the burgeoning Christian faith, reshaping hopes, and reworking old patterns. Dread and Hope explores the ways in which those old paradigms were challenged by Jesus’s death and resurrection, how the resulting eschatological landscape was understood within Christianity, and how modern popular culture has consumed and modified various components of Christian Hope. Joshua Wise examines how the central Christian eschatological themes such as the Antichrist, the Great Persecution, Heaven, and Hell have both been transformed and preserved in novels, television, films, and video games. Drawing on works such as 1984, Diablo, The Stand, What Dreams May Come, and the Fallout series, Dread and Hope considers how the human fears and desires shaped by Christian beliefs are expressed in popular culture.

Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible: The New Classic Guide to Delicious Dishes with More Than 300 Recipes - Epub + Converted PDF
نویسندگان: Paula Deen, Melissa Clark خلاصه: Y’all know I was born and raised on Southern food and made my name sharing my version of down-home cooking with the world. But the funny thing is that until I began to travel outside of my own little town of Albany, Georgia, I couldn’t have told you what Southern cooking is all about. Sure, my mama, grandmama, and Aunt Peggy taught me just about everything there was to know about the traditional dishes I grew up eating: the pork chops and gravy, the chicken and dumplin’s, the fried peach pies
Christianity in Late Antiquity, 300-450 C.E.: A Reader - Original PDF
Christianity in Late Antiquity, 300-450 C.E.: A Reader - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Bart D. Ehrman, Andrew S. Jacobs خلاصه: Christianity in Late Antiquity, 300-450 C.E.: A Reader collects primary sources of the early Christian world, from the last "Great Persecution" under the Emperor Diocletian to the Council of Chalcedon in the mid-fifth century. During this period Christianity rose to prominence in the Roman Empire, developed new notions of sanctity and heresy, and spread beyond the Mediterranean world. This reader incorporates standard texts--from authors such as Athanasius, Augustine, and Eusebius--in the most recent translations and also includes less familiar texts, some of which appear in English translation for the first time. Presented in their entirety or in long excerpts, the texts are arranged thematically and cover such topics as orthodoxy, conversion, asceticism, and art and architecture. The editors provide introductions for each chapter, text, and image, situating the selections historically, geographically, and intellectually. Christianity in Late Antiquity, 300-450 C.E.: A Reader highlights the ways in which religion and culture were mutually transformed during this crucial historical period. Ideal for courses in Early Christianity, Christianity in Late Antiquity, and History of Christianity, this reader is an excellent companion to Bart D. Ehrman's After the New Testament (OUP, 1998) and an exceptional resource for scholars.

نویسندگان: Louis Patler خلاصه: When I was starting out in business I got very good advice from a friend who said "ninety percent of business is half mental!" I have come to believe those numbers and have found that, if anything, 90% may be too low! In business, as in writing a book, so much depends upon good thinking, lots of discipline, and plenty of support.

In the Handbook of Fruits and Fruit Processing, Dr. Y.H. Hui and his editorial team have assembled over forty respected academicians and industry professionals to create an indispensable resource on the scientific principles and technological methods for processing fruits of all types. The book describes the processing of fruits from four perspectives: a scientific basis, manufacturing and engineering principles, production techniques, and processing of individual fruits. A scientific knowledge of the horticulture, biology, chemistry, and nutrition of fruits forms the foundation. A presentation of technological and engineering principles involved in processing fruits is a prelude to their commercial production. As examples, the manufacture of several categories of fruit products is discussed. The final part of the book discusses individual fruits, covering their harvest to a finished product in a retail market. As a professional reference book replete with the latest research or as a practical textbook filled with example after example of commodity applications, the Handbook of Fruits and Fruit Processing is the current, comprehensive, yet compact resource ideal for the fruit industry.

Fruit manufacturing: scientific basis, engineering properties, and deteriorative reactions of technological importance - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Jorge E. Lozano خلاصه: The fruit processing industry is a major global business. While basic principles of fruit processing have shown only minor changes over the last years, major improvements continually occur. More efficient equipment is capable of converting huge quantities of fruits into pulp, juice, dehydrated, frozen and refrigerated products, etc. that make possible the preservation of products for year-round consumption. Fruit processing and storage involve physical and chemical changes that negatively modify fruit quality. The industry’s ability to provide a nutritious and healthful fruit product to the consumer is highly dependent on the knowledge of the quality modifications that occur during the processing. Fruit Manufacturing emphasizes the products rather than the processes, procedures, or plant operations. It presents the influence on a fruit product’s quality in relation to the different processing methods, from freezing to high temperature techniques, and discusses the origin of deterioration, kinetics of negative reactions, and methods for inhibition and control of the same. Probable changes in thermodynamical, thermophysical and rheological properties and parameters during processing of fruits at a wide range of soluble solids, temperatures and pressure are also summarized. This book provides the necessary information for the understanding of the deteriorative effects on the fruit quality during processing to engineers and professionals mainly involved in development and operations in the fruit industry.

El estudiante de las hierbas. Diario del botánico Juan Isern Batlló y Carrera (1821-1866). Miembro de la Expedición Científica del Pacífico (1862-1866) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Juan Isern Batlló y Carrera; Paloma Blanco Fernández de Caleya; Dolores Rodríguez Veiga Isern; Pilar Rodríguez Veiga Isern خلاصه: Es un motivo de alegría y un buen síntoma de preocupación por la ciencia el poder prologar, por fin, el diario del botánico Juan Isern Batlló, miembro destacado de la Comisión Científica del Pacífico (1862-1866) y mártir romántico de la ciencia española. Además, creo que ha sido un acierto de las autoras, dos de ellas descendientes del ilustre naturalista, el dar a conocer dicho diario de forma novelada, aunque ajustada a la realidad de una manera escrupulosa. Resulta conmovedora la imagen que uno puede representarse del botánico, en el último momento de su corta vida, recordando su propia trayectoria vital, desde aquel pequeño pueblo de Setcases hasta los momentos más difíciles e intensos de su viaje por el río de las Amazonas. La tarea que se han propuesto las autoras del libro no era fácil, ya que, según creo recordar, los apuntes de Isern conservados en el Real Jardín Botánico eran algo caóticos, en tanto que los fragmentos del diario eran excesivamente botánicos y escuetos, algo que hace merecedora de elogios la obra emprendida con la publicación que tenemos ante nosotros.

نویسندگان: Juan Isern Batlló y Carrera; Paloma Blanco Fernández de Caleya; Dolores Rodríguez Veiga Isern; Pilar Rodríguez Veiga Isern خلاصه: El volumen y peso de los ocho primeros tomos de nuestra Flora es tal que ha venido a convertirla, en la práctica, en algo así como instrumento de consulta sedentaria obligada: ¡como libro de mochila y, mucho menos, de bolsillo, resulta impensable! Por esa razón, se impone reducirla imprimiendo solo aquellas partes que resultan útiles para las deseables determinaciones en el campo
