Paperback. Zustand: Good. Description: Prison is a strange land, a land of deep heartache and sadness. Over two million people are serving prison time in America. Millions more are carrying the mark of prison as those who were formerly incarcerated, including large numbers of men and women who have been released on parole. In the midst of such human misery, when loosened tongues are freed to sing of God's redemptive love, grief is diminished and the prison loses its power. Endorsements: Prison in our society is just another word for abandonment and loneliness. But Wes and Marilyn Stevens refused to abandon their daughter when she went to prison. In this poignant and profound book, we are allowed to witness how the Psalms shaped their lives and their daughter's life as they learned to overcome the loneliness of being separated by prison. Hopefully, this book will be read, not only by those who have experienced what the Stevens family had to endure, but by anyone who wants to see the power of the Psalms for our lives. --Stanley Hauerwas Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Theological Ethics Duke Divinity School I can recommend Wesley Steven's book, Learning to Sing in a Strange Land: When a Loved One Goes to Prison, without any reservations. Wes Stevens speaks out of his agonizing experience with the imprisonment of his loved one. The book walks the reader through a father's experience with this strange land of dark shadows and broken hearts. This book will resonate with families who have gone through this difficult time, as well as provide help for those who try to rebuild their broken lives with hope and heroism. For those who have never experienced such sorrow it makes valuable reading, so that we can begin to understand what such sadness must mean. Reading this book will be a modern experience of how Paul and Silas sang at midnight in the Philippian jail. It will remind us that in this darkest place on earth, some hope can be found. --Richard L. Morgan Associate for Pastoral Care New Hope Presbyterian Church, North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania Wesley Stevens writes this book from his heart, drawing from deep personal experience, to immerse us all in the tragedy of our prison system--providing clues as to what we might do. --W.

This is a much-needed contribution to this difficult issue for our families in Texas. --Joan G. Burnham Former Executive Director Texas Inmate Families Association Wesley Stevens is an inspiration to me and to everyone who knows him.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The Six Core Theories of Modern Physics reviews all the key areas of physics in one place. It provides a brief, clear, and self-contained summary of the basic theoretical structures of classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics, statistical physics, special relativity, and quantum field theory. In addition, the mathematics required for these areas is conveniently summarized in the initial chapter. Advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students can use The Six Core Theories of Modern Physics as a supplement to the standard texts or for an unclutterred, succinct review of the key areas. Professionals in such quantitative sciences as chemistry, engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, and biophysics who need to brush up on the essentials of a particular area will find most of the required background material, including the mathematics. Chapters may be read in any order, although the order in which they appear indicates roughly their level of difficulty and the extent to which a particular chapter depends on knowledge and sophistication gained in preceding ones. Each chapter consists of a main part, which gives the core theory, and optional sections which are more advanced and specialized. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Ethics on the Ark presents a passionate, multivocal discussion - among zoo professionals, activists, conservation biologists, and philosophers - about the future of zoos and aquariums, the treatment of animals in captivity, and the question of whether the individual, the species, or the ecosystem is the most important focus in conservation efforts. Contributors represent all sides of the issues. Some advocate proposals to increase zoos' work in captive breeding programs. Others call for zoos to turn away from exotic, charismatic species and focus instead on community education programs aimed at protecting local fauna and habitats. Still others contend that zoos ought to be abolished. Moving from the fundamental to the practical, from biodiversity to population regulation, from animal research to captive breeding, Ethics on the Ark represents an important gathering of the many fervent and contentious viewpoints shaping the wildlife conservation debate.…
