Embodied Idolatry: A Critique of Christian Nationalism is an examination of the effect of Christian nationalism on Christian practice in the United States. Kyle Edward Haden focuses on the mechanisms by which such beliefs become sedimented into the emotional, embodied structures of the church and the individual. Using a variety of disciplines, Haden thus identifies and highlights how such beliefs and practices are, in fact, idolatrous and inhabit an anti-Christian theological and ethical space. This book describes the formative process and mechanisms by which social and cultural values are acquired through imitation, by the individual and within ecclesial communities. As a constructive countermeasure, it investigates Jesus's practice in his own social, cultural, political, religious, and economic context, and argues that Christian nationalism is a betrayal of Jesus's teachings in light of his own practice of hospitality and table fellowship. This book thus calls Christians to ...

In the space of one election cycle, authoritarian governments, moneyed elites and fringe hackers figured out how to game elections, bypass democratic processes, and turn social networks into battlefields. Facebook, Google and Twitter - where our politics now takes place - have lost control and are struggling to claw it back. Prepare for a new strain of democracy. A world of datafied citizens, real-time surveillance, enforced wellness and pre-crime. Where switching your mobile platform will have more impact on your life than switching your government. Where freedom and privacy are seen as incompatible with social wellbeing and compulsory transparency. As our lives migrate online, we have become increasingly vulnerable to digital platforms founded on selling your attention to the highest bidder. Our laws don't cover what is happening and our politicians don't understand it. But if we don't change the system now, we may not get another chance. ...

Research in higher education could be more useful, innovative and better designed if we were clearer about the philosophical and epistemological basis of the theories that underlie our research methods. People who have to interpret research would do a better job if they were able to interrogate research more critically and appreciate its strengths and weaknesses. This volume provides this information for an audience of researchers, policymakers, students and lecturers in higher education. The authors seek to create a dialogue with the reader about issues relevant to the philosophy of research and stimulate interest in how philosophy plays out in the real, everyday, political world, not least in education. Unlike many existing volumes on the market, this book creates a space in which readers can use the tools for thinking that the authors describe to interrogate their own experience.

Tracy Kidder's "riveting" (Washington Post) story of one company's efforts to bring a new microcomputer to market won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award and has become essential reading for understanding the history of the American tech industry. Computers have changed since 1981, when The Soul of a New Machine first examined the culture of the computer revolution. What has not changed is the feverish pace of the high-tech industry, the go-for-broke approach to business that has caused so many computer companies to win big (or go belly up), and the cult of pursuing mind-bending technological innovations. The Soul of a New Machine is an essential chapter in the history of the machine that revolutionized the world in the twentieth century.

Toisen maailmansodan syttyminen 1. syyskuuta 1939 käynnisti Suomessa kuumeiset kalustohankinnat ja kolme kuukautta myöhemmin alkanut talvisota kiihdytti niitä. Joulukuussa 1939 päästiin sopimukseen amerikkalaisen Brewsterin kanssa 44 koneen ostosta. Koneet myöhästyivät talvisodasta, mutta jatkosodan kaksi ensimmäistä vuotta ne hallitsivat Karjalan ja Suomenlahden ilmatilaa. Tyyppi oli selvästi paras rintaman molemmin puolin, etenkin kun ohjaimissa olivat kokeneet suomalaislentäjät. Brewster pärjäsi vielä jotenkuten sodan loppuun asti. Tähän kirjaan on koottu yksiin kansiin kaikki Brewsteriä käsittelevät taustatiedot, tekniikka ja operatiivinen käyttö sekä runsas kuvamateriaali niiltä kahdeksalta vuodelta, jonka tyyppi oli käytössä Suomen ilmavoimissa. Täysin uutta on päivitetyt konekohtaiset historiikit koko palvelusajalta. Teoksessa on runsaasti hävittäjälentäjien omakohtaisia kertomuksia, joita on vuosikymmenten varrella julkaistu heidän muistelmissaan sekä taistelukertomuksissa, jot...
