Sommario/riassunto |
|
For millennia, people have used the Bible as a touchstone on important social and political questions, and rightly so. But many use the Bible simply as a weapon to wield against opponents in a variety of debates--without knowing what the Bible actually says about the issue in question. In The Bible Now, two respected biblical scholars, Richard Elliott Friedman and Shawna Dolansky, tell us carefully what the Hebrew Bible says or does not say about a wide range of issues--including homosexuality, abortion, women's status, capital punishment, and the environment. In fascinating passages that shed |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This volume continues the story of teh National Research Council begun by Physics at the National Research Council of Canada (also written by Middleton) and Biological Sciences at the National Research Council of Canada (by N.T. Gridgeman). Technical enough to interest the scientifically informed reader, yet comprehensible to the general reader, this history of the development of radar in Canada by the N.R.C. in the years of the Second World War explains what radar is and how it |

functions, and briefly describes at the problems which led to the development of new equipment—such as the need to detect mortar bombs and the danger of airborne attacks on Canadian coasts. The author describes how personality clashes, tensions between co-operating organizations, and difficulty administrative puzzles were overcome, allowing scientific expertise to triumph in the speedy and valuable development of new radar devices, an important contribution by Canada to the war effort. The volume is well organized and includes illustrations. Documentation from government sources, use of "ations from correspondence and interviews, personal reminiscences of the author, and informed opinion and interpretation combine to make the volume easy and information reading. |
