Suffering is not for nothing. Must we stumble through sorrow and tragedy without understanding or is there a lighted way-a path-through suffering? Elisabeth Elliot plots the treacherous passage through pain, grief, and loss, a journey most of us will make many times in our life. Through it all, she says, there is only one reliable path, and if you walk it, you will see the transformation of all your losses, heartbreaks, and tragedies into something strong and purposeful. In this powerfully moving book, Elisabeth Elliot does not hesitate to ask hard questions, to examine tenderly the hurts we suffer, and to explore boldly the nature of a God whose sovereign care for us is so intimate and perfect that he confounds our finite understanding. A Path though Suffering is a book for anyone searching for faith, comfort, and assurance. It is an honest book about the way our merciful God draws us close to himself and expands our capacity for surrender and obedience in order that we might finally share in his… Leer más

Persia was the first superpower of the ancient world, her empire stretching from western Anatolia to the Khyber Pass, from Armenia to Ethiopia. Cook's definitive history takes us from its origins to the defeat of Darius by Alexander the Great in 330 B.C. We learn of the military strategies which enabled Persia to assume her position of unprecedented greatness, and the administrative infrastructure by which she maintained it; of the wondrous beauty of the palaces at Susa and Persepolis, and the intricacies of religious and political life.

Concise, accessible sketches of the views of Plato, Aristotle, Leibniz, and Kant highlight this study of the general structure and foundation of pure and applied mathematics. Author Stephan Körner dedicates two chapters apiece — one expository and one critical — to each of the three main modern schools of thought on mathematical philosophy: the formalists, the logistics, and the intuitionists. After critically examining the propositions and theories of each philosophy, Körner presents a new position concerning the relation between mathematical theories, empirical data, and philosophical presuppositions. The Review of Metaphysics praised this volume as "a lucid and stimulating essay which combines accuracy and sophistication with a minimum of technical language." Compact but comprehensive, this nontechnical introduction will appeal to professionals, students, and other readers interested in the intersection of philosophical problems with pure and applied mathematics.

Liz Waldner's bold collection takes its title and its inspiration from Definition 1 of Euclid's Elements of Geometry. Its six sections—point, line, circle, square, triangle, and point again—are explorations of various kinds of longing and loss—sex, death, exile, story, love, and time. Drawing from culture high and low—Eno and Aquinas, Lassie and Donne, Silicon Valley and Walden Pond—these poems offer proof of and proof against the "mortal right-lined circle" of memory and identity.

In his acclaimed book Lincoln's Virtues, William Lee Miller explored Abraham Lincoln's intellectual and moral development. Now he completes his "ethical biography," showing how the amiable and inexperienced backcountry politician was transformed by constitutional alchemy into an oath-bound head of state. Faced with a radical moral contradiction left by the nation's Founders, Lincoln struggled to find a balance between the universal ideals of Equality and Liberty and the monstrous injustice of human slavery.With wit and penetrating sensitivity, Miller brings together the great themes that have become Lincoln's legacy—preserving the United States of America while ending the odious institution that corrupted the nation's meaning—and illuminates his remarkable presidential combination: indomitable resolve and supreme magnanimity.

Sir Isaac Newton's Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles) is considered to be among the finest scientific works ever published. His grand unifying idea of gravitation, with effects extending throughout the solar system, explains by one principle such diverse phenomena as the tides, the precession of the equinoxes, and the irregularities of the moon's motion.Newton's brilliant and revolutionary contributions to science explained the workings of a large part of inanimate nature mathematically and suggested that the remainder might be understood in a similar fashion. By taking known facts, forming a theory that explained them in mathematical terms, deducing consequences from the theory, and comparing the results with observed and experimental facts, Newton united, for the first time, the explication of physical phenomena with the means of prediction. By beginning with the physical axioms of the laws of motion and gravitation, he converted physics from a mere science of explanation into a general… Leer más

Russell's classic The Principles of Mathematics sets forth his landmark thesis that mathematics and logic are identical―that what is commonly called mathematics is simply later deductions from logical premises.His ideas have had a profound influence on twentieth-century work on logic and the foundations of mathematics.

Books on the improvement of thinking processes have tended to be complicated and less than useful; the authors of this renowned text emphasize a simple but effective approach. The "Whimbey method" of teaching problem solving is now recognized as an invaluable means of teaching people to think. Problems are followed by their solutions, presented in easy-to-follow steps -- this feature permits students to work without supervision, outside the classroom. The latest edition of this best-selling text covers two new topics: decoding complex instructions, and the uses of pair problem solving.
