Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Finding the Light: Science and its Vision explains the development of classical and modern physics, and breakthroughs by a renowned medical research scientist. It explains how modern physics favors realism, over idealism, as the philosophical and ethical foundation of science. It describes growth in Christian faith by eminent scientists. It harmonizes scientific knowledge, philosophical knowledge, and faith, -a divine gift illuminating the mind and heart. Finding the Light orchestrates all these dynamics with lively biographies of Blaise Pascal and Alexis Carrel, celebrated French scientists who fully integrate faith and science in remarkably changed worlds, one living before and the other after the French Revolution. In very few pages Finding the Light is a treasury of scientific, biographical, historical, political, philosophical and religious pedagogy. Its simple, clear, confident storytelling style, reveals a scientist at peace with his life's work and his testimony to the mutual enrichment of science and Christian faith. Dr. James A Cannon (b.1933 - d.2020), after serving in the US Navy during the Korean war, studied and practiced journalism as managing editor of the Fordham University newspaper before switching his area of concentration to physics. He earned an MS at Columbia and a B.S. and Ph.D. at Fordham. He did basic research for Bell Labs but, having the heart of a teacher, left to pursue a career spanning five decades as a revered professor of physics and chemistry at Pace University in New York. A neurological injury led to his retirement. He suffered for a dozen years until complications from Parkinson's and Covid took his life. During this time, with the able assistance of his devoted wife, Monica, Dr. Cannon wrote Finding the Light: Science and its Vision, a culmination his life's work, his Catholic faith, his love of science and his love of teaching.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Called as an apostle in 1906, David O. McKay devoted the remaining sixty-four years of his life to serving in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including nineteen as church president. That lengthy tenure, combined with his warmth, extensive personal ministry, broadmindedness, deep spirituality, and unprecedented global travel made him one of the church's most beloved and influential leaders of all time. When he died in 1970, roughly 60 percent of the church's membership had known no other church president. Memories of McKay's teachings and ministry remain a taproot for the spiritual convictions and values of many Latter-day Saints. Brian Q. Cannon's biography offers a fresh perspective on important features of McKay's life, showing how his mission to Scotland, round-the-world tour as an apostle, and service as president of the European Mission shaped his global vision and priorities. Building a Global Zion illuminates previously underappreciated facets of McKay's reach, including his crusades against alcohol consumption and political corruption, his long-term administration of missionary work, his spiritual impressions, his personnel decisions, and his mediation of interpersonal impasses in administrative settings. Cannon carefully reconstructs facets of McKay's vast ministry to individuals, highlights distinctive themes of his teachings, and explores challenges that confronted McKay's associates as his health and acuity waned.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Dust Jacket. A small puncture mark at the lower back joint. Ex-library copy with usual stamps, and pocket though I believe this was never in circulation.; The Library of Medieval Women; 0.94 x 8.43 x 5.59 Inches; 199 pages; Christine de Pizan (also seen as de Pisan) (1364?1430) was a writer and analyst of the medieval era who strongly challenged the clerical misogyny and stereotypes that were prevalent in the male-dominated realm of the arts. De Pizan completed forty-one pieces during her thirty-year career (1399?1429). She earned her accolade as Europe?s first professional woman writer (Redfern 74). Her success stems from a wide range of innovative writing and rhetorical techniques that critically challenged renowned male writers such as Jean de Meun who, to Pizan?s dismay, incorporated misogynist beliefs within their literary works. In recent decades, de Pizan's work has been returned to prominence by the efforts of scholars such as Charity Cannon Willard and Earl Jeffrey Richards. Certain scholars have argued that she should be seen as an early feminist who efficiently used language to convey that women could play an important role within society, although this characterisation has been challenged by other critics who claim either that it is an anachronistic use of the word, or that her beliefs were not progressive enough to merit such a designation (Richards 1-2). …
