Sommario/riassunto |
|
Optical and microwave waveguides have attracted much research interest in both science and industry. The number of potential applications for their use is growing rapidly. This book examines recent advances in the broad field of waveguide technology. It covers current progress and latest breakthroughs in emergent applications in photonics and microwave engineering. The book includes ten contributions on recent developments in waveguide technologies including theory, simulation, and fabrication of novel waveguide concepts as well as reviews on recent advances. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
In Boundless Faith, the first book to look systematically at American Christianity in relation to globalization, Robert Wuthnow shows that American Christianity is increasingly influenced by globalization and is, in turn, playing a larger role in other countries and in U.S. policies and programs abroad. These changes, he argues, can be seen in the growth of support at home for missionaries and churches in other countries and in the large number of Americans who participate in short-term volunteer efforts abroad. These outreaches include building orphanages, starting microbusinesses, and setting up computer networks. Drawing on a comprehensive survey that was conducted for this book, as well as several hundred in-depth interviews with church leaders, Wuthnow refutes several prevailing stereotypes: that U.S. churches have turned away from the global church and overseas |
