Who Are You Really? - A Philosopher's Inquiry into the Nature and Origin of Persons

Joshua Rasmussen

Beschreibung

What does it mean to be human? What is a person? Where did we come from?
Many answers have been offered throughout history in response to these perennial questions, including those from biological, anthropological, sociological, political, and theological approaches. And yet the questions remain.
Philosopher Joshua Rasmussen offers his own step-by-step examination into the fundamental nature and ultimate origin of persons. Using accessible language and clear logic, he argues that the answer to the question of what it means to be a person sheds light not only on our own nature but also on the existence of the one who gave us life.

The Darkness Has Not Overcome -...

Cliff Sims

Former special assistant to President Trump, New York Times bestselling author, and evangelical Christian Cliff Sims shares the lessons he learned on faith, politics, and the Christian witness while working in the halls of power. American life today is consumed by politics. Even our churches are tearing themselves apart over political candidates, cultural flashpoints, and debates about whether certain pastors are vessels for the Holy Spirit or an unholy political agenda. So how should Christians approach our lives in this time of strife and division? How should we engage in politics and respond when we find that our beliefs are at odds with the culture? And how do we keep our focus on eternity when the present attractions of the world are there in front of us at every turn? Cliff Sims, the son of a Baptist minister and man of deep Christian faith, has walked the halls of power, serving as a Special Assistant to President Trump and Deputy Director of National Intelligence. While working at the highest levels of the American government, he experienced firsthand the cutthroat world of power politics, an environment that can test the character of any follower of Jesus, and he wrestled continually with how to live out his faith. In this book, Cliff shares hard-earned wisdom from his time serving in government, giving Christians lessons on how to live faithfully and with integrity. Recounting stories from the West Wing, Air Force One, and top secret bunkers, Sims offers practical advice and biblical insight on how to let the light of Christ shine in our dark world, regardless of our politics. The Darkness Will Not Overcome is a must-read for every Christian who has found themselves exasperated by politics, fearful about the future, or discouraged by the times in which we live.

Cornerstone at the Confluence -...

Jason A. Robison

Signed on November 24, 1922, the Colorado River Compact is body of laws colloquially called the "Law of the River" that governs how human beings use water from the river system dubbed the "American Nile." No fewer than forty million people have come to rely on the Colorado River system in modern times—a system immersed in an unprecedented, unrelenting megadrought for more than two decades. Attempting to navigate this "new normal," policymakers are negotiating new management rules for the river system, a process coinciding with the compact's centennial that must be completed by 2026. 
 
 
 
Animated by this remarkable confluence of events, Cornerstone at the Confluence leverages the centennial year to reflect on the compact and broader "Law of the River" to envision the future. It is a volume inviting dialogue about how the river system's flows should be apportioned given climate change, what should be done about environmental issues such as ecosystem restoration and biodiversity protection, and how long-standing issues of water justice facing Native American communities should be addressed. 
 
 
 
These topics touch on the concept of "equity" embedded within the compact—a concept that tees up what is perhaps the foundational question confronted by Cornerstone at the Confluence: Who should have a seat at the table of Colorado River governance?

Thermodynamics and Statistical...

Mark Hedges

Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with heat, work, and energy transfer. It provides fundamental principles that govern the behavior of physical systems, from microscopic particles to large-scale industrial processes. Understanding thermodynamics is crucial for fields such as engineering, chemistry, and physics, as it helps explain how energy is conserved, transformed, and dissipated. 
One of the fundamental aspects of thermodynamics is the concept of a thermodynamic system, which refers to a specific region of space or a set of substances that are being studied. Systems can be classified as open, closed, or isolated, depending on their ability to exchange energy and matter with their surroundings. An open system allows both energy and matter to flow in and out, while a closed system permits energy transfer but not matter exchange. An isolated system, in contrast, does not exchange either energy or matter with its surroundings. 
Thermodynamic properties are categorized as extensive or intensive. Extensive properties, such as mass, volume, and total energy, depend on the amount of substance present. Intensive properties, like temperature, pressure, and density, do not depend on system size and are uniform throughout a system in equilibrium.
