McNicol examines how the author of Revelation interprets and re-fashions both scripture and the myths of the age in order to lay out his vision of redemption - leading to his ultimate conclusion that human political power (Rome) will crumble before the influence of the crucified Jesus.

Open-Ended Agent-Based Economic EvolutionIndexGeosimulation has recently emerged at the intersection of Geographic Information Science, Complex Systems Theory and Computer Science. Geosimulation aims at understanding the dynamics of complex human-driven spatial systems through the use of spatially explicit computer simulation. The approaches and tools for validating Geosimulation models are especially important for understanding their complex and spatially heterogeneous outcomes. The Ebook presents the recent conceptual and methodological advances achieved in the field. It should be very useful for scientists and graduate students workingGeographySimulation methodsElectronic books.GeographySimulation methods.910.285Marceau Danielle J860097Benenson Itzhak770653MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457263603321Advanced geosimulation models1919104UNINA
