The fact remains that Howard Thurman, James H. Cone and William R. Jones, among others, have produced a substantial amount of theological work quite worthy of consideration by philosophers of religion. Yet this corpus of thought is not reflected in the scholarly literature that constitutes the main body of philosophy of religion. Neglect and ignorance of African American Studies is widespread in the academy. By including chapters on Thurman, Cone and Jones, the present book functions as a corrective to this scholarly lacuna. 410 0$aAfrican American philosophy ;$vVolume 300. 606 $aChristian philosophy 606 $aBlack theology 606 $aAfrican American philosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristian philosophy. 615 0$aBlack theology. 615 0$aAfrican American philosophy. 676 $a230.089/96073 700 $aMcClendon$b John H.$0961584 702 $aBrittany L.

Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE. Geotechnical Engineering State of the Art and Practice: Keynote Lectures from GeoCongress 2012 contains 30 peer-reviewed papers that survey the entire breadth of research and practice in geotechnical engineering. Each paper is contributed by distinguished geotechnical engineers who were invited to create a comprehensive overview of the profession by focusing on a specific technical subject. About half the papers present the state of the art by summarizing the latest research and challenges for geotechnical researchers. The other half demonstrate the state of the practice by reporting on issues as they are tackled by geotechnical engineers in the field. Taken together, these papers showcase the best of the profession and form a basis for integrating geotechnical research with its practice. Topics include: foundations and earth stability; geotechnical modeling; site characterization, testing, and monitoring; geoenvironmental engineering; embankments and slope stability; soil properties; pavements; tunneling and underground spaces; and earthquake engineering. This collection is an important touchstone for geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineers, whatever their focus on research and practice. 606 $aEngineering geology$vCongresses 606 $aSoil mechanics$vCongresses 615 0$aEngineering geology 615 0$aSoil mechanics 676 $a624.151 701 $aRollins$b Kyle M$01823418 701 $aZekkos$b Dimitrios$01823419 712 02$aAmerican Society of Civil Engineers.$bGeo-Institute. 712 12$aGeoCongress 2012 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911006497403321 996 $aGeotechnical engineering state of the art and practice$94390067 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03265nam 2200685Ia 450 001 9910962768103321 005 20251116175646.0 010 $a1-135-79003-5 010 $a1-135-79004-3 010 $a1-138-87893-6 010 $a1-280-05372-0 010 $a0-203-39838-6 024 7 $a10.4324/9780203398388 035 $a(CKB)1000000000251201 035 $a(EBL)181178 035 $a(OCoLC)252893521 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000300722 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11226622 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000300722 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10271681 035 $a(PQKB)11149785 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC181178 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL181178 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10098624 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL5372 035 $a(OCoLC)56366121 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000251201 100 $a20030120d2002 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aJapanese contract and anti-trust law $ea sociological and comparative study /$fWillem M.

This book describes the role of this law in protecting the distributor against unilateral terminations of distribution agreements. There have been significant pressures both to lower prices and restructure distribution channels in Japan which have strained many distribution agreements. This volume, based primarily on Japanese language legal material, not only involves a study of applicable black-letter law, but also a sociological study of its application in practice.
