Paperback. Zustand: Good. Based on a true story, this first of a trilogy of Civil War novels chronicles the fateful events of 1861 in western Virginia, as a young man learns to cope with his world turned upside down by war. It is April of 1861. The shocking events at Fort Sumter are having devastating effects on Alexander Swaney, living on his family farm in Pennsylvania just a few miles north of the border with western Virginia. He watches as Virginia fights its own civil war, as the disaffected western counties, long neglected by Richmond, attempt to secede from the rest of the state. Their political struggle produces the first land conflicts of the larger War of the Rebellion, involving the future military giants George McClellan, Stonewall Jackson, and Robert E. Lee fighting in the rugged mountains of western Virginia, soon to be a new state. As events sweep Alexander along in their path, he struggles to maintain some control over his destiny. Should he volunteer to join the Union army and fight to preserve the and he loves, but leave behind the girl he hopes to marry, as well as his family, at the mercy of marauders and bushwhackers? Adding to Alexander's confusion is the fact that Sophia isn't sure she's ready to marry him, and a rival for her affections is on the scene in the form of his cousin Tip, a rake who has had his eye on Sophia. Fortunately, Alexander has a close friend in Harry Hagans, a young pastor who also feels the call to arms from his desire to bring an end to slavery. As the storms of war bear down on them, Harry and Alexander share a convoluted journey, ultimately arriving at their military home, the 1st Regiment of Loyal Virginia Volunteer Cavalry, later to become the 1st West Virginia Volunteer Cavalry. Along the way, their friendship is threatened when Harry reveals a dark secret that shakes Alexander's trust. A detailed glimpse into a portion of Civil War history largely unknown, Storm Coming is a luminous story of a young man's coming of age and the birth of a new state out of the storms of war.…

Ex-library copy with the usual library markings, some blacked out. Some cover soiling. The authors were with the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory and Sandia Corporation. This is part of Plowshare--civil, industrial and scientific used for nuclear explosives. The US Army Corps of Engineers Nuclear Cratering Group (NCG) program activities include: (1) cratering calibration of various geologic media and development of techniques designed to provide a desired crater geometry with chemical high-explosive detonations; (2) joint planning of and technical participation in AEC nuclear-excavation experiments; (3) development of data on the engineering properties of nuclear craters; (4) development of civil works nuclear construction technology; (5) accomplishment of engineering studies of nuclear construction feasibility; and (6)execution of joint CE/AEC civil works nuclear-construction experiments. Four conceptual nuclear-construction applications have been identified as having a significant potential for accomplishment: (1) nuclear quarrying to produce rock fill or aggregate; (2) nuclear ejecta dam construction; (3) nuclear harbor construction; and (4) nuclear canal excavation. The work reported on herein addressed the challenge of controlling the potential hazard from nuclear cratering detonations to structures at wide ranges from the site of the explosion(s). Air Blast, Ground Shock, Throwout, and Dust were addressed. Lewis Cauthen, Jr. was born in 1932. He entered The Citadel, where he studied Civil Engineering. Upon graduation in 1954, he entered the US Army Corps of Engineers, where he served for just over twenty years. His service took him to Germany, Korea, Canada, Turkey, and Vietnam, as well as across the United States, and he was decorated for deeds of valor. Project Plowshare was the overall United States program for the development of techniques to use nuclear explosives for peaceful construction purposes. The program was organized in June 1957 as part of the worldwide Atoms for Peace efforts. As part of the program, 35 nuclear warheads were detonated in 27 separate tests. A similar program was carried out in the Soviet Union under the name Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy. Successful demonstrations of non-combat uses for nuclear explosives include rock blasting, stimulation of tight gas, chemical element manufacture, unlocking some of the mysteries of the R-process of stellar nucleosynthesis and probing the composition of the Earth's deep crust, creating reflection seismology vibroseis data which has helped geologists and follow-on mining company prospecting. The project's uncharacteristically large and atmospherically vented Sedan nuclear test also led geologists to determine that Barringer crater was formed as a result of a meteor impact and not from a volcanic eruption, as had earlier been assumed. This became the first crater on Earth definitely proven to be from an impact event. Negative impacts from Project Plowshare's tests generated significant public opposition, which eventually led to the program's termination in 1977. These consequences included tritiated water (projected to increase by CER Geonuclear Corporation to a level of 2% of the then-maximum level for drinking water) and the deposition of fallout from radioactive material being injected into the atmosphere before underground testing was mandated by treaty. Peaceful nuclear explosions (PNEs) are nuclear explosions conducted for non-military purposes. Proposed uses include excavation for the building of canals and harbors, electrical generation, the use of nuclear explosions to drive spacecraft, and as a form of wide-area fracking. PNEs were an area of some research from the late 1950s into the 1980s, primarily in the United States and Soviet Union. In the U.S., a series of tests were carried out under Project Plowshare. Some of the ideas considered inc.…

hardcover. "ESTE LIVRO NASCEU DA CONVICÇÃO DE QUE TANTO O MUNDO QUANTO A IGREJA PRECISAM URGENTEMENTE OUVIR E LEVAR A SÉRIO A MENSAGEM DA IGUALDADE BÍBLICA." Ao longo da história da igreja, a visão de que homens e mulheres deveriam atuar de formas distintas com base em seu sexo foi predominante. Isso significou que homens detiveram prerrogativas exclusivas e perpétuas de liderança e de autoridade não compartilhadas pelas mulheres. Contudo, vozes dissidentes também surgiram, questionando biblicamente essa delimitação de papéis. Mais recentemente, essa perspectiva resultou na formulação teológica chamada igualitarismo, cuja expressão máxima está sistematizada neste livro. A mensagem central da igualdade bíblica, explicitada em Igualitarismo bíblico, é simples e direta: a masculinidade e a feminilidade, em si e por si mesmas, não privilegiam nem restringem a capacidade de alguém ser usado por Deus para avançar seu reino ou glorificá-lo em qualquer aspecto do ministério, da missão, da sociedade ou da família. Como os autores demonstram, essa não é uma formulação baseada em ideologias seculares, como o feminismo, ou em pressupostos da teologia liberal. Pelo contrário: é a conclusão de um trabalho exegético sério que considera a Bíblia a autoridade máxima de vida e fé. Por meio de ensaios de acadêmicos como Craig Keener, Cynthia Long Westfall, Gordon Fee e Ronald Pierce, este livro aborda a miríade de temas que envolve os papéis de gênero, como a submissão, a liderança, a autoridade para ensinar, a Queda, o casamento, entre outros. De forma sábia e biblicamente embasada, os autores demonstram porque, quando as mulheres têm seus dons e chamados negados, toda a igreja sofre. …
