Keeping Them Out of the Hands of Satan Evangelical Schooling in America

Keeping Them Out of the Hands of Satan Evangelical Schooling in America

First published in 1988 this work was the product of extensive fieldwork in two evangelical communities. This in-depth ethnographic study focuses on the meaning systems organizational structures and the daily lives of the people Susan D. Rose encountered. The study is centred around Christian schooling as a method of socialisation. Tracing the rise of evangelicalism and the development of the Christian School Movement in the latter half of the twentieth century it examines the kinds of educational alternatives evangelicals have structured for their children. Moving beyond the issue of schooling itself it analyses the interactions among schooling ideology economic structures and the nature of work in contemporary American society and explores how people relate to one another within the church-family-school network. It addresses the provocative question of why evangelicalism a self-proclaimed conservative reactionary movement held so much appeal for so many Americans at the time of publication. This work will be of particular interest to those studying education and religion and education in the U. S. A. | Keeping Them Out of the Hands of Satan Evangelical Schooling in America

Heaven and Its Discontents Milton's Characters in Paradise Lost

Heaven and Its Discontents Milton's Characters in Paradise Lost

Many critics agree with C. S. Lewis that Satan is the best drawn of Milton's characters. Satan is certainly a wonderful creation but Adam and Eve are also complex and well-drawn and God may be the most complicated character of all. Paradise Lost is above all God's story; it is his discontent first with Lucifer and then with human beings that drives the action from the beginning until his anger subsides at the world's end. God and Satan have similarities not only in their pursuit of revenge but also in their craving for power and glory. The ambitious Satan wants more than he already has but what accounts for the voracity of God's appetite? Does the fact that each threatens the status of the other help to explain the intensity of their hatred and rage? Is their vindictiveness a response to being threatened an effort to repair the injury they feel they've sustained? This seems to be the case for Satan but must not God also have felt deeply hurt to have such a powerful need for vengeance? If so why is the Almighty so vulnerable? And why is he so hard on Adam and Eve and the rest of humankind? These are the kinds of questions Bernard Paris tries to answer in this book. Paris's purpose is not to focus on Milton's illustrative intentions but to try to understand God Satan Adam and Eve as psychologically motivated characters who are torn by inner conflicts. Most critics treat Milton's characters as coded messages from the author but their mimetic features interfere with the process of decoding. Instead of looking through the characters to the author Paris looks at Milton's characters as objects of interest in themselves as creations inside a creation who escape their thematic roles and are embodiments of his psychological intuitions. This book heightens our appreciation of an ignored aspect of Milton's art and offers new insights into the critical controversies that have surrounded Paradise Lost. | Heaven and Its Discontents Milton's Characters in Paradise Lost

Cinematic Storytelling A Comprehensive Guide for Directors and Cinematographers

Cinematic Storytelling A Comprehensive Guide for Directors and Cinematographers

This book presents a new story-based approach to cinematic coverage and storytelling in film and video. It breaks from the conventional idea that shots are the fundamental unit of filmmaking instead exploring the specifics of determining coverage. Keyframes in patterns are introduced delivering scripted material in a context-rich presentation that supports the storytelling. All the analysis interpretation and creative decision making is done first with shots derived as the very last step. Scripted material is divided into six categories with associated patterns. Like cinematic building blocks these can freely stack up and interconnect supporting creativity and avoiding rigid formulas. This approach enables filmmakers to tap into the film language that audiences already understand and put it to practical use helping the audience to feel the storytelling deeply. Dozens of film examples are provided throughout plus conceptual and camera diagrams to contextualize the methods presented and exercises are provided to reinforce concepts. Emphasis is placed on supporting performance and story meaning through a cinematic context. With all the concepts and decision-making options described and shown in examples a scripted scene is analyzed and developed through an eight-step process illustrated with storyboard camera diagrams and ultimately shot list descriptions. The book is ideal for filmmaking students interested in directing and cinematography as well as aspiring and early-career filmmakers cinematographers and directors. | Cinematic Storytelling A Comprehensive Guide for Directors and Cinematographers

Leading with Love Rehumanising the Workplace

Leading with Love Rehumanising the Workplace

As business becomes more automated power more concentrated and the forces of competition and consumption seem to dominate our lives we are in danger of losing what it is to be human. Work for many can be a soulless activity creating feelings of disempowerment alienation and depression. Learning to lead with love is a counterforce to the instrumentalisation of the person. This book presents original research based on leaders who were nominated by their people for leading with love. It shows how they learned to lead with love for the benefit of themselves their organisations and their people. It shows that leading with love is something that is practised by leaders who are more emotionally morally and spiritually mature. Leading with love is a sign of psychological maturity whilst leading with fear is a sign of hindered emotional and spiritual development. Based on this research this book presents a simple framework to help leaders who wish to develop their psychological maturity and apply practices which will enable them to successfully lead with love. | Leading with Love Rehumanising the Workplace

Mathematical Statistics With Applications

Mathematical Statistics With Applications

Mathematical statistics typically represents one of the most difficult challenges in statistics particularly for those with more applied rather than mathematical interests and backgrounds. Most textbooks on the subject provide little or no review of the advanced calculus topics upon which much of mathematical statistics relies and furthermore contain material that is wholly theoretical thus presenting even greater challenges to those interested in applying advanced statistics to a specific area. Mathematical Statistics with Applications presents the background concepts and builds the technical sophistication needed to move on to more advanced studies in multivariate analysis decision theory stochastic processes or computational statistics. Applications embedded within theoretical discussions clearly demonstrate the utility of the theory in a useful and relevant field of application and allow readers to avoid sudden exposure to purely theoretical materials. With its clear explanations and more than usual emphasis on applications and computation this text reaches out to the many students and professionals more interested in the practical use of statistics to enrich their work in areas such as communications computer science economics astronomy and public health.
