Beschreibung

In "Hilaire Belloc: No Alienated Man; A Study in Christian Integration," Frederick D. Wilhelmsen delivers a profound analysis of Hilaire Belloc's life and writings, arguing that Belloc's unwavering commitment to his Catholic faith serves as a foundation for his philosophy of integration and community. The text deftly intertwines narrative with scholarly critique, utilizing a rich literary style that is both accessible and intellectually rigorous. Wilhelmsen situates Belloc within the broader context of early 20th-century thought, particularly the tensions between modernism and traditionalism, revealing how Belloc's integrationist philosophy responds to the alienation and fragmentation prevalent in contemporary society. Frederick D. Wilhelmsen, a noted philosopher and educator, drew upon his extensive background in metaphysics and theology, alongside his deep appreciation for Belloc's work, to craft this insightful study. His familiarity with Catholic intellectual traditions allows him to illuminate Belloc's role as a defender of faith amidst an increasingly secular landscape, reflecting a personal conviction that resonates throughout the text. Wilhelmsen's scholarly endeavors, underscored by a passion for the integrationist perspective, shed light on Belloc's enduring relevance. This book is essential for anyone interested in Christian philosophy, literary studies, or the socio-political challenges of the modern era. Wilhelmsen's compelling exploration not only illuminates Belloc's thought but also invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of faith and community in a fragmented world. It is a necessary read for scholars and casual readers alike, offering profound insights into the quest for meaning amidst the complexities of modern existence.

    A host of technologies—including digital cameras, drones, facial recognition devices, night-vision binoculars, automated license plate readers, GPS, geofencing, DNA matching, datamining, and artificial intelligence—have enabled police to carry out much of their work without leaving the office or squad car, in ways that do not easily fit the traditional physical search and seizure model envisioned by the framers of the Constitution. Virtual Searches develops a useful typology for sorting through this bewildering array of old, new, and soon-to-arrive policing techniques. It then lays out a framework for regulating their use that expands the Fourth Amendment's privacy protections without blindly imposing its warrant requirement, and that prioritizes democratic over judicial policymaking. 
     
     
     
    The coherent regulatory regime developed in Virtual Searches ensures that police are held accountable for their use of technology without denying them the increased efficiency it provides in their efforts to protect the public. Whether policing agencies are pursuing an identified suspect, constructing profiles of likely perpetrators, trying to find matches with crime scene evidence, collecting data to help with these tasks, or using private companies to do so, this book provides a template for ensuring their actions are constitutionally legitimate and responsive to the polity.

    "This new and enlarged version of Readings in Russian Civilization is the result of fairly extensive revisions. There are now 72 instead of 64 items; 20 of the selections are new. The first volume has undergone the least change with 3 new items, of which 2 appear in English for the first time. In the second volume there are 6 new items; all of them appear in English for the first time. The third volume has undergone the greatest revision, with 11 new items, of which 6 are newly translated from the Russian. It is the editor's hope that items left out in the new edition will not be sorely missed, and that the new selections will turn out to be useful and illuminating. The aim, throughout, has been to cover areas of knowledge and periods which had been neglected in the first edition, and to include topics which are important in the study of the Russian past and present. "The bibliographical headnotes have been enlarged, with the result that there are now approximately twice as many entries as in the old edition. New citations include not only works which have appeared since 1963, but also older books and articles which have come to the editor's attention."—From the Editor's Preface ". . . a judicious combination of seminal works and more recent commentaries that achieves the editor's purpose of stimulating curiosity and developing a point of view."—C. Bickford O'Brien, The Russian Review "These three volumes cover quite well the main periods of Russian civilization. The choice of the articles and other material is made by a competent and unbiased scholar."—Ivan A. Lopatin, Professor of Asian and Slavic Studies, University of Southern California

    1742: the famous dome atop Saint Peter's Basilica, designed by Michelangelo, is fractured and threatened with collapse. The dome is the pride of Italy and the largest of its kind anywhere in the world. And no one knows how to fix it. 
     
     
     
    This engaging and colorful narrative tells the overlooked story of how Michelangelo's Dome was saved from disaster by three mathematicians and Pope Benedict XIV, who had asked them for help. It is a gripping story of decisive leadership, crisis management, and scientific innovation, and the resistance that was faced when sailing into the headwinds of conventional thought. 
     
     
     
    In Saving Michelangelo's Dome, Stanford-trained engineer Wayne Kalayjian illustrates how new ideas in science and mathematics established an entirely new way of looking at the world—as well as solving its complex problems. In the end, listeners will appreciate that in saving Michelangelo's Dome from collapse, these three mathematicians and one determined pope unknowingly invented the profession of engineering as we practice it today. With it, they transformed the architectural world and ushered in generations of future buildings and structures that, otherwise, would never have been built.
