Product Description
The contemporary level of violence and the sources of the violent acts that are directed against American law enforcement officers are topics that often inspire heated debate. The Sources of Violence in America and Their Consequences for Law Enforcement begins with an examination of the nature of violence and the role it plays in society, followed by an in-depth discussion and analysis of violent behavior and the extensive body of literature that has developed concerning its root causes. This book discusses the sources of violence, examines why people use violence against law enforcement officers, relates the functions of the police to the sources of violent behavior directed against them, and shows how law enforcement officers can find themselves caught between conflicting demands that do not easily submit to reconciliation. Systematically presented are major theories associated with criminal violence which include: structural-functionalist models, control, strain, symbolic interaction, cultural deviancy, labeling, contagion, and political economy theories. In addition, many useful tables are provided, and the appendices include data regarding the percentage of law enforcement officers assaulted and feloniously murdered by year and geographical region. The inclusion of vignettes will provide an opportunity to explore a variety of problematic situations. This book will be useful for programs in state, federal, and local law enforcement administration, public policy studies, and criminal justice studies. ... Read more

A selection of Jonathan Edward's sermons, which seeks to recognise their crucial role in his life and art. The 15 sermons reflect a life dedicated to experiencing and understanding spiritual truth, and address a wide range of occasions, situations and states.Amazon.com Review
The Sermons of Jonathan Edwards: A Reader is the firstpublished anthology of sermons by the most influential AmericanPuritan of the 18th century. Some people think Edwards is scary,because his most famous fire-and-brimstone preaching ("Sinners in theHands of an Angry God") is too severe for today. But this bookdemonstrates that Edwards is equally capable of rapture, of reason,and of relating to a great variety of Christian experiences. Thefollowing passage, from a sermon called "Heaven Is a World of Love,"is timeless in its sensibilities: "[B]y living a life of love ... youwill be in the way to heaven. As heaven is a world of love, so the wayto heaven is the way of love. This will best prepare you for heaven,and make you meet for an inheritance with the saints in that land oflight and love. And if ever you arrive at heaven, faith and love mustbe the wings which must carry you there."

The Sermons ofJonathan Edwards contains 14 sermons (of the more than 1,200 thatEdwards preached), including five that have not previously beenpublished. A smart introduction describes the sermons' historicalcontext (some were preached to white congregations, others to NativeAmericans; all were delivered in the volatile period between the Salemwitch trials and the American Revolution) and their literarystructure. (Each sermon starts with a Scripture text and brief commentor interpretation; makes a simple statement of doctrine that will bepresented in the sermon; and then proceeds with various defenses,applications, and uses of the doctrine, which address the immediatepersonal and social concerns of the listeners.) As a collection, theeditors note, "the sermons have a sense of progression to them thatreflects the pilgrimage of the soul ... from its sinful earthly stateto a pure heavenly existence." A sermon called "The Way of Holiness,"preached when Edwards was a teenager, explains what each step in thesoul's pilgrimage should be like, urging believers to live so as todeepen the "likeness in nature between God and the soul of thebeliever." Edwards's own credo, written when he was 19, declares hisintention to follow such a pilgrimage, "to live with all my might,while I do live." --Michael Joseph Gross ... Read more

A DIVINE AND SUPERNATURAL LIGHT
I purchased the book for one sermon A DIVINE AND SUPERNATURAL LIGHT

I was amazed about how many of the sermons were right one with where I am at in my life.

Gods word is time less and this is a clear translation of what God has to say to his people.

18th Century Purpose Driven preacher
Do not get this book if you're pursuing modern or postmodern theology. Do not get this book if you're looking for gimmicks.

If you want to get down to basics ... salvation and sin, heaven and hell ... read this collection.

The original 'fire & brimestone' sermon ... "Sinners in the hands of angry God" is worth the price of the book if you're unfamiliar with Edwards.

You can see the evangelical power of this mighty pastor grow in this chronological collection.

Edwards is a gift to us, well worth rediscovering.

A book for basic concept of periodontics
I read the book when I was a 4 grade student in Dental School. The book was included lots of concepts of immunology and biochemistry, and the clinical practices was relatively rare.. I think this book is suitable for the basis of periodontal research, but not for dental clinican. However, I had learned lots of knowledge about cell kinetics about periodontics from the book. So I recommended this book to you who are interested in periodontics. ... Read more
