Regarding Pres Wilson
The book is written is a very childish format so it's not very entertaining for the adult to read. It's also written in the slant that President Wilson did wonderful things for our country which in my opinion he did not.

Shallow biography
Equate with a fifth grade-level of depth of information on Wilson's presidency. The title of "the Progressive Era" is deceptive in that his policies are only shallowly touched on. If you want the dry facts of Wilson's life, this is ok. If you want any understanding of him or his policies, search for something else. ... Read more

Product Description
The theme of law in Luke's Gospel has rarely been discussed, and then only tangentially in studies concerned with recovering Jesus' view of the law. The evidence of Acts has received considerably more attention, but almost always in the context of a comparison with Paul's view of the law or a reconstruction of the historical events which lie behind the narrative of Acts. A notable exception is J. Jervell's essay on 'The Law in Luke - Acts' in which he argues that Luke presents a consistent and conservative view of the law, viz. that the Church, as the renewed Israel, is committed to the law, Jewish-Christians being obliged to keep the whole of it and Gentile Christians those parts relevant to them. He thus disagrees with Conzelmann, who argues that the apostolic decree freed the Church once and for all from its previous obligation to the law. ... Read more

Product Description
Early modern Britain witnessed a transformation in legal reasoning about human volition and intentional action, which contributed to new conventions and techniques for the theatrical representation of premeditated conduct. Theaters of Intention examines the relation between law and theater in this period, reading plays by Shakespeare, Jonson, Marlowe, and others to demonstrate how legal understanding of willful human action pervades sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English drama.

Drawing on case law, legal treatises, parliamentary journals, and theatrical account books, the author considers the interplay between theatrical deliberation and legal dramatization of human intention. He analyzes such canonical plays as Hamlet, Timon of Athens, Dr. Faustus, Bartholomew Fair, and Othello alongside less familiar texts, including Barnes's The Devil's Charter, Jonson's Entertainment at Althorp, and the anonymousNobody and Somebody.

Notable instances of the new theatrical representation of premeditated conduct include the appearance in Hamlet of wording from the sensational case ofHales versus Petit and dramatizations of contract law in enactments of demonic pacts in the plays of Marlowe and Barnes. The final chapter examines the iconography of Nobody, an early modern equivalent of John Doe, and features some dozen illustrations of contemporary woodcuts, drawings, and engravings.

Tied closely to the convergence of authorial and dramatic forethought, theatrical representation of premeditated action demonstrates the close relationships among purposeful human behavior, fictionality, economic exchange, and the experience of time. ... Read more

Product Description
A theological and historical study of the Gentiles and the Gentile missions in Luke and Acts. Dr Wilson examines Jesus' attitude to Gentiles and concludes that not only did he fail to anticipate a historical Gentile mission, but that his eschatological expectations logically disallowed it. Luke's views are then set against the tradition on the subject from Jesus up to and including Mark, and his theology is compared in detail with that of Paul. Dr Wilson goes on to consider the historical reliability of Acts and finds that most earlier assessments have been marred by oversimplification; Luke, he concludes, does intend to write good history but for a variety of reasons is not always successful. There has in recent years been a growing interest in the theology of Luke and this is a substantial addition to the literature on the subject. It will be of interest to all theologians and New Testament scholars. ... Read more

Securing Global Transportation
This brilliantly written text shows Ritter's ability to take a very complex subject and make it simple and easy to understand.As pioneer of Total Security Management, Ritter provides the reader with a value management solution within their core business function.This is extremely valuable information for anyone in the trade, safety and security, logistics and transportation industries.Susan Wellman, Business Owner, SA AdvisorsSecuring Global Transportation Networks

Security as a value for business continuity and ROI
Ritter's book is a lesson for all CEO's and C-level execs on the importance of understanding the value of security at each critical link in their supply network.Through real examples and thoroughexplanations the book takes a practical approach to explaining and encouraging the value of security -- for most it is the most critical piece of their business because when it fails, the business usually fails.It's that simple.Securing Transportation Networks helps any executive understand how security adds value to their bottom line and their long term success.In my experience the ROI for any investment is management's top concern -- the book provides the why's and the benefits of a system that more holistically includes security in every day processes ultimately assuring business continuity and survival.Can't recommend it highly enough -- not only for those involved in supply chain but for any executive who relies on other suppliers or networks for their business.

Proven Security Practices Combined with Sound Metrics = Good Business
This is an excellent book for anyone involved at any level in securing our global transportation networks; or ultimately for anyone that makes decisions that will have an affect positively or negatively on the ability for security personnel to execute their jobs.The book provides a solid foundation by presenting the Total Security Management (TSM) concept in building blocks that tie in together to formulate a strong base of knowledge.

The presented information is easy to understand for all personnel and shows how by following these guidelines they will achieve greater security of all assets (fixed, in-transit, brand equity, and human capital) and just as importantly, how they will do so with costs in balance to the risk level needed for that particular industry or organization.By providing such a strong foundation, the security industry and more specifically security personnel, now have another strong tool at their disposal for presenting a common frame of reference to advance all aspects of securing the transportation network and doing so in line with the concerns of companies that are facing a down and challenged economy.

Perhaps this is its strongest asset, in providing personnel in the security field with a solid tool and base of reference to assist them with highlighting and justifying what are truly legitimate concerns for their specific industry while at the same time providing strong evidence to support their conclusions; and ultimately show how well thought out actions and expenditures based on sound metrics will be in that organizations best interests and will ultimately prove cost effective in the long term both in terms of dollar values and brand equity.

Great Book
Its a great book, very usefull. The product arrived in time and in proper conditions.

An in-depth look at one of the country's greatest security concerns.
Everything we use everyday comes from somewhere.Getting that product from point A to point B in a timely, cost-effective way is important to everyone in the transportation industry.But the attacks against America both domestically and abroad have shown that we are as vulnerable as ever, and one way to secure our business interests is to secure our transportation networks.
That is the subject of this excellent book, written by three veterans of the industry and featuring a foreward by Tom Ridge, the first Secretary of Homeland Security.Using their years of experience, the authors develop in the book the concept of Total Security Management, and use compelling case studies to illustrate their point that a secure business is a successful business.The book breaks down the global transportation process, shows where value is added along the way, and how to maximize that value while minimizing risk, not only from terrorism but from other less malicious but equally damaging impacts.The book further demonstrates the financial benefits of investing in security, and also how to protect physical corporate assets, whether they be fixed or goods in transit.A "Book of the Month" of the American Society for Industrial Security in December 2006, this book is a must for anyone working in or around global transportation industries.
