The Incarnation as God’s First Intention
by Edwin Chr. van DrielThough most Christians today would describe the incarnation as God’s response to sin, Van Driel argues that the incarnation is not contingent upon anything, that it is the manifestation of God’s primary intention—to be with us. This book makes a case for this view and explores its implications for Christian doctrine and practice.
Jesus and the Law of Moses
by Paul T. SloanThis book examines the Synoptic Gospels’ portrait of Jesus’s relationship with the Law of Moses, arguing that Jesus is presented as an authoritative teacher who engages with other Jewish thinkers about how to interpret the Law.

Organizational Strategy, Structure, and Process (Stanford Business Classics)
by Raymond E. Miles Charles C. Snow"Books and articles come and go, endlessly. But a few do stick, and this book is such a one. Organizational Strategy, Structure, and Process broke fresh ground in the understanding of strategy at a time when thinking about strategy was still in its early days, and it has not been displaced since." —David J. Hickson, Emeritus Professor of International Management & Organization, University of Bradford School of Management Originally published in 1978, Organizational Strategy, Structure, and Process became an instant classic, as it bridged the formerly separate fields of strategic management and organizational behavior. In this Stanford Business Classics reissue, noted strategy scholar Donald Hambrick provides a new introduction that describes the book's contribution to the field of organization studies. Miles and Snow also contribute new introductory material to update the book's central concepts and themes. Organizational Strategy, Structure, and Process focuses on how organizations adapt to their environments. The book introduced a theoretical framework composed of a dynamic adaptive cycle and an empirically based strategy typology showing four different types of adaptation. This framework helped to define subsequent research by other scholars on important topics such as configurational analysis, organizational fit, strategic human resource management, and multi-firm network organizations.
Bob Silverman: Vélorutionnaire (Biographies et mémoires)
by Stéphane Desjardins John SymonAvec une poignée de militants du Monde à Bicyclette (MàB) et quelques alliés, Robert « Bicycle Bob » Silverman a réussi l’impensable : transformer Montréal, en l’espace de trois décennies, d’un désert cyclable en véritable capitale nord-américaine du vélo. Leur moyen d’action : les « cyclodrames », des spectacles de rue hauts en couleur!Personnage anticonformiste, ce défenseur infatigable du cyclisme urbain a mené une vie hors du commun. Poète, libraire, restaurateur, voyageur, éducateur et propriétaire de galerie, il a côtoyé une incroyable bande d’artistes, d’intellectuels et de musiciens, dont Leonard Cohen et Armand Vaillancourt. En 1962, il se rend dans le Cuba de Fidel Castro pour participer à la révolution et rencontre Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara. Quelques années plus tard, il travaille dans un kibboutz israélien et devient le rare juif à serrer la main de Yasser Arafat.Passionné du vélo, Bob a mené sa vélorution (un terme qu’il a été le premier à populariser au Canada) avec authenticité, ingéniosité et une créativité sans limites.
Bob Silverman: The Impossible Hero (Biographies and Memoirs)
by Stéphane Desjardins John SymonFew unknown figures have left such a lasting mark on the world as Robert "Bicycle Bob" Silverman.A true nonconformist, this tireless advocate for urban cycling lived an extraordinary life. Poet, bookseller, restaurateur, traveler, educator, gallery owner—but above all, a passionate cycling activist—Bob led his vélorution (a term he was the first to popularize in Canada) with authenticity, ingenuity, and boundless creativity.With his small but dedicated group, Le Monde à Bicyclette (MàB), and a handful of allies, Bob Silverman achieved the impossible. Over three decades, Montreal transformed from one of the least bike-friendly cities in North America into its cycling capital—thanks in part to MàB’s colorful cyclodramas, street theatre protests where members donned costumes to make their point.Silverman’s story reads like a film script. A poet and independent bookseller in the 1960s, he drew in a vibrant circle of artists, intellectuals, and musicians, including Leonard Cohen and Armand Vaillancourt. In 1962, he traveled to Cuba to join Fidel Castro’s revolution, meeting none other than Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Later, he worked on an Israeli kibbutz, becoming one of the rare Jewish activists to shake hands with Yasser Arafat. He studied in France and Spain, pioneered outdoor volleyball, and never shied away from challenging the status quo.A larger-than-life figure, Robert Silverman was, as many describe him, “a prophet before his time.” Discover how this real-life Man of La Mancha managed to reach a few unreachable stars…

The Process of Research in Psychology
by Dawn M. McBrideWith a structure focused on process over memorization, best-selling author Dawn M. McBride′s The Process of Research in Psychology, Fifth Edition covers topics with a step-by-step approach to help students understand the full progression of developing, conducting, and presenting a research study from start to finish. Early chapters introduce important concepts for developing research ideas, subject sampling, ethics, and data collection; more detailed coverage of these topics is included in the "More About" chapters to provide instructors with flexibility to focus on the methods students will use in their projects. Concepts and skills relevant to more than one stage of the research process are covered in multiple contexts to give students repeated opportunities to learn about the most important, and often most difficult, research concepts at the moment they’re used. This new Fifth Edition features added discussion on validity and reliability; a reorganized chapter on survey research to group topics more clearly and to provide more information on qualitative analysis; more questions in the "Test Yourself" quizzes at the end of each chapter to focus more on application; and additional references to the increasingly popular statistical software programs JASP and R.
Situational Analysis: Grounded Theory After the Interpretive Turn
by Carrie Friese Adele E. Clarke Rachel WashburnThe Second Edition of Situational Analysis: Grounded Theory After the Interpretive Turn offers an innovative extension of grounded theory useful in qualitative research projects that draws on interviews, observations, and visual, narrative, and historical discourse materials. To engage the dense complexities of real world situations, Situational Analysis (SA) braids together Strauss′s ecological social worlds/arenas theory, Foucault’s discourse analysis, and Deleuze and Guattari’s rhizomes and assemblages. In SA, the situation itself becomes the fundamental unit of analysis. Using extensive examples, the authors discuss getting started, how to create three kinds of maps emphasizing differences and relationality (situational maps, social world/arena maps, and positional maps), the kinds of analytic work they accomplish, and how to write up the results centered on the distinctive strengths of the method. The book will serve as an invaluable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate-level students, as well as professional researchers and consultants from diverse backgrounds pursuing qualitative projects.
Theoretical Frameworks in Qualitative Research
by Vincent A. Anfara Jr. Norma T. MertzThe Second Edition of Theoretical Frameworks in Qualitative Research brings together some of today’s leading qualitative researchers to discuss the frameworks behind their published qualitative studies. They share how they found and chose a theoretical framework, from what discipline the framework was drawn, what the framework posits, and how it influenced their study.

Understanding Working Memory
by Ross G Alloway Tracy Packiam AllowayIt is hard to conceive of a classroom activity that does not involve working memory – our ability to work with information. In fact, it would be impossible for students to learn without working memory. From following instructions to reading a sentence, from sounding out an unfamiliar word to calculating a math problem, nearly everything a student does in the classroom requires working with information. Even when a student is asked to do something simple, like take out their science book and open it to page 289, they have to use their working memory. Most children have a working memory that is strong enough to quickly find the book and open to the correct page, but some don’t – approximately 10% in any classroom. A student who loses focus and often daydreams may fall in this 10%. A student who isn’t living up to their potential may fall in this 10%. A student who may seem unmotivated may fall in this 10%. In the past, many of these students would have languished at the bottom of the class, because their problems seemed insurmountable and a standard remedy like extra tuition didn’t solve them. But emerging evidence shows that many of these children can improve their performance by focusing on their working memory. Working memory is a foundational skill in the classroom and when properly supported it can often turn around a struggling student’s prospects. This book will make sure you are able to spot problems early, work with children to improve their working memory and ensure they reach their full potential. How does the book work? Each of the following chapters includes a description of the learning difficulty (WHAT), followed by an inside look into the brain of a student with the disorder (WHERE), their unique working memory profile (WHY), and classroom strategies to support working memory (HOW). There are two types of strategies: general working memory strategies that can be applied to all students in your class, and specific working memory strategies for each learning difficulty. The final chapter (Chapter 9) provides the student with tools to empower them along their learning journey. The aim in supporting students with learning difficulties is not just to help them survive in the classroom, but to thrive as well. The strategies in the book can provide scaffolding and support that will unlock their working memory potential to boost learning. They are designed to be easily integrated within the classroom setting as a dimension of an inclusive curriculum and used in developing an individualized education program (IEP) for the student. The strategies recommended here can also complement existing programs that support a core deficit, such as a social skills program for a student with autistic spectrum disorder, or behavior modification for those with ADHD. Each chapter also includes: Try It box: Provides the reader with an opportunity to have a hands-on understanding of the material Science Flash box: Gives the reader a snapshot of current and interesting research related to each chapter Current Debate box: Discusses a controversial issue pertaining to the disorder Tracy Packiam Alloway is an award-winning psychologist based at the University of North Florida Ross Alloway is the CEO of Memosyne Ltd, a company that brings cutting-edge scientific research to parents.
