homophobic, and homoerotic subjectivities in Left Behind -- Conclusion: Both now and not yet: reading in the shadow of the rapture.The 'Left Behind' series of novels by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins have been instrumental in disseminating and popularising 'rapture theology' in the contemporary period, selling some 65 million copies worldwide and revitalising the evangelical publishing industry in the U.S. 'Plotting Apocalypse' develops an in-depth critical analysis of LaHaye and Jenkins' bestselling series, including the sequel and prequels, showing how the 'Left Behind' series functions as a space where the conundrum of evangelical agency can be staged and, perhaps, resolved.Apocalypse in literatureChristian fiction, AmericanHistory and criticismRapture (Christian eschatology)Apocalypse

“Explaining Causal Selection with Explanatory Causal Economy : Biology and Beyond”.Patterns of explanation in biology have long been recognized as different from those deployed in other scientific disciplines, especially physics. Celebrating the diversity of explanatory models found in biology, this volume details their varying types as well as their relationships to one another. It covers the key current debates in the philosophy of biology over the nature of explanation, and its apparent diversity that stems from a variety of historical, causal, mechanistic, or mathmatical explanatory practices. Offering a wealth of fresh analyses on the nature of explanation in contemporary biology chapters examine aspects ranging from the role of mathematics in explaining cell development to the complexities thrown up by evolutionary-developmental biology, where explanation is altered by multidisciplinarity itself. They cover major domains such as ecology and systems biology, as well as contemporary trends, such as the mechanistic explanations spawned by progress in molecular biology. With contributions from researchers of many different nationalities, the book provides a many-angled perspective on a revealing feature of the discipline of biology.History, Philosophy and Theory of the Life Sciences,2211-1956 ;11BiologyPhilosophySciencePhilosophyNeural networks (Computer science)Philosophy of BiologyPhilosophy of ScienceMathematical Models of Cognitive Processes and Neural NetworksBiologyPhilosophy.SciencePhilosophy.Neural networks (Computer science).Philosophy of Biology.Philosophy of Science.Mathematical Models of Cognitive Processes and Neural Networks.10501519570.1Braillard Pierre-Alainauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1224752Malaterre Christopheauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910484454803321Explanation in Biology2843769UNINA
