Conclusion : becoming (a) Christian in Christendom.How might one live the Christian faith within a culture that idealizes and privileges Christianity while also relativizing it and making it redundant? Arguing for a reconceptualization of the theology of the cross and radical communal practices, the author explores some pervasive dangers of America's new Christendom and provocatively imagines alternatives to conventional Christianity--ones whereby the church embodies an alternative politic, where it commits to cruciform non-violence, appreciates gifts by giving them away, and knows its boundaries well enough to learn from those on the other side.Christian lifeUnited States21st centuryChristianityUnited States21st centuryUnited StatesfastElectronic books.

Biochar prepared from pyrolysis of waste biomass is gaining widespread attention in environmental remediation due to its multifaceted benefits. This book explores these possible applications of biochar in water treatment and removal of pollutants from the contaminated sites. It also emphasizes the role of biochar engineering through different physical and chemical methods to enhance structural and physicochemical properties of biochar such as surface area, porosity and surface functional group. It also focuses on the diverse source of biomass that can be used for biochar production, different methodologies for biochar preparation and biochar engineering for improvement of its properties. Finally, it describes all the applications of biochar that can contribute to environmental remediation and sustainability. Given the contents, the book will be useful for students, researchers and professionals in the area ofenvironmental chemistry and material science.Materials Horizons: From Nature to Nanomaterials,2524-5392BiomaterialsMaterialsCarbonChemistryComposite materialsBiosynthesisBiomaterialsCarbon MaterialsCompositesBiosynthesisBiomaterials.Materials.Carbon.Chemistry.Composite materials.Biosynthesis.Biomaterials.Carbon Materials.Composites.Biosynthesis.662.88Nadda Ashok Kumar1429758MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910746291003321Biochar and Its Composites3569001UNINA
