Sinopsis

Scissors and Precision explores the surprisingly rich history of scissors, revealing how this seemingly simple tool reflects broader trends in technology and human innovation. The book traces the evolution of cutting tools from rudimentary beginnings to high-precision instruments, detailing innovations in engineering design, materials science, and ergonomics. Early scissor-like devices weren't always pivoted; some were spring-operated shears. The book uniquely illuminates history through the lens of a common object. 

 
The book examines scissors' journey across historical periods and cultures, analyzing materials used in their construction, like bronze, iron, and advanced alloys, and explaining how properties affect performance. Blade geometry and pivot mechanisms are explored, highlighting the engineering intricacies. Progressing through chapters, the study moves from ancient metalworking to modern surgical applications, showing how scissor technology adapts to meet evolving societal needs.

    This work may not be by Plato, or his entirely, but Jowett has offered his sublime translation, and seems to lean towards including it in the canon. Socrates tempted by irony to deflate the pretentious know-it-all Hippias, an arrogant polymath, appears to follow humour more than honour in this short dialogue. (Summary by Kevin Johnson)

    As the church and as a country, we've often neglected and avoided addressing the impact and ongoing reality of racism. We've been more focused on order than justice, more concerned with social media posturing than solidarity, more committed to judgment than repentance. But God's people are called to more. We need to lead the way to true racial healing, solidarity, and justice. 
     
     
     
    Through enlightening history and eye-opening personal stories, Living Undivided will equip and empower you with the biblical, transformative tools you need to move from just hoping and wishing for racial justice to actionable change that makes a difference in your life and the lives of churches, neighborhoods, and cities.

    The story of twenty schoolchildren on the southeastern plains of Colorado, fighting for lives that had just begun . . . Imagine being one of twenty children, ages seven to fourteen, stranded in a makeshift school bus for thirty-three hours, during the worst blizzard to hit Colorado in over fifty years. The gripping narrative of Children of the Storm leads you through this haunting experience. The morning of March 26, 1931, began with sixty-degree weather and students excitedly running to board Carl Miller's bus for their routine ride to the Pleasant Hill School. By the time they arrived at the pair of forlorn one-room schoolhouses, it was dark, windy, and cold—obvious signs of a spring snowstorm. Soon after, following the teachers' orders to drive the children to a nearby home for safety, Miller lost his sense of direction in the ensuing whiteout and lodged the bus in a ditch. When rescuers found the survivors a day and a half later, the blizzard had taken its deadly toll.
