Delphi Complete Works of Iamblichus (Illustrated)
English | 2021 | ASIN: B09BBP1NG4 | 1117 Pages | PDF | 9 MB
The third century philosopher Iamblichus of Chalcis was a major figure in the school of Neoplatonism and the founder of its Syrian branch. He was also a notable biographer of the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras. Aside from Iamblichus' own philosophical contribution, the 'Protrepticus' is of importance for the study of the Sophists, owing to its preservation of several pages of an otherwise unknown Sophist philosopher. Delphi's Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts. This comprehensive eBook presents Iamblichus' complete extant translations, with illustrations, rare works and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

Data Science with R for Psychologists and Healthcare Professionals By Christian Ryan
2021 | 300 Pages | ISBN: 0367618567 | PDF | 14 MB
This introduction to R for students of psychology and health sciences aims to fast-track the reader through some of the most difficult aspects of learning to do data analysis and statistics. It demonstrates the benefits for reproducibility and reliability of using a programming language over commercial software packages such as SPSS. The early chapters build at a gentle pace, to give the reader confidence in moving from a point-and-click software environment, to the more robust and reliable world of statistical coding. This is a thoroughly modern and up to date approach using RStudio and the tidyverse. A range of R packages relevant to psychological research are discussed in detail. A great deal of research in the health sciences concerns questionnaire data, which may require recoding, aggregation and transformation before quantitative techniques and statistical analysis can be applied. R offers many useful and transparent functions to process data and check psychometric properties. These are illustrated in detail, along with the wide range of tools R affords for data visualisation. Many introductory statistic books for the health sciences rely on toy examples - in contrast, this book benefits from utilising open datasets from published psychological studies, to both motivate and demonstrate the transition from data manipulation and analysis to published report. R Markdown is becoming the preferred method for communicating in the open science community. This book also covers the details of how to integrate the use of R Markdown documents into the research workflow and how to use these in preparing manuscripts for publication, adhering to the latest APA style guidelines.

Cut in Stone: Confederate Monuments and Theological Disruption By Ryan Andrew Newson
2020 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 1481312162 | PDF | 4 MB
Confederate monuments figure prominently as epicenters of social conflict. These stone and metal constructs resonate with the tensions of modern America, giving concrete definition to the ideologies that divide us. Confederate monuments alone did not generate these feelings of aggravation, but they are far from innocent. Rather than serving as neutral objects of public remembrance, Confederate monuments articulate a narration of the past that forms the basis for a normative vision of the future. The story, told through the character of a religious mythos, carries implicit sacred convictions; thus, these spires and statues are inherently theological.In Cut in Stone, Ryan Andrew Newson contends that we cannot fully understand or disrupt these statues without attending to the convictions that give them their power. With a careful overview of the historical contexts in which most Confederate monuments were constructed, Newson demonstrates that these "memorials" were part of a revisionary project intended to resist the social changes brought on by Reconstruction while maintaining a romanticized Southern identity. Confederate monuments thus reinforce a theology concerning the nature of sacrifice and the ultimacy of whiteness. Moreover, this underlying theology serves to conceal inherited collective wounds in the present.If Confederate monuments are theologically weighted in their allure, then it stands to reason that they must also be contested at this level―precisely as sacred symbols. Newson responds to these inherently theological objects with suggestions for action that are sensitive to the varying contexts within which monuments reside, showing that while all Confederate monuments must come under scrutiny, some monuments should remain standing, but in redefined contexts. Cut in Stone represents the first detailed theological investigation of Confederate monuments, a resource for the larger collective task of determining how to memorialize problematic pasts and how to shape public space amidst contested memory.

Marcellino D'Ambrosio, Gloria Esteban Villar, Mark Sullivan, "Cuando la Iglesia era joven: Las voces de los primeros Padres"
Español | 2016 | pages: 272 | ISBN: 8490614156 | EPUB | 0,4 mb
Si la palabra Trinidad no aparece en la Escritura, ¿por qué juega un papel tan importante en nuestra fe? Y si la Biblia está abierta a distintas interpretaciones ¿con cuál de ellas nos quedamos? Es más: ¿quién ha decidido qué es lo que debe formar parte de la Biblia? Los Padres de la Iglesia son quienes pueden responder estas preguntas. Fueron estos hombres brillantes y combativos quienes fijaron el canon bíblico, esculpieron el Credo y nos han permitido comprender qué son los sacramentos o qué significa salvación. Ellos fueron los que preservaron y nos transmitieron el rico legado de la Iglesia primitiva. D'Ambrosio, gracias a sus conocimientos y a su capacidad comunicativa, ha sido capaz de transformar la árida teología - sin perder la precisión teológica - en historias fascinantes de grandes personajes como Ambrosio, Agustín, Basilio, Atanasio, Crisóstomo o Jerónimo. Por ello, este libro nos pone en contacto directo con el empuje y vitalidad de una Iglesia joven y de un nuevo mensaje que comenzaba a expandirse por el mundo. "Con este relato tan asequible y cautivador, el Dr. D'ambrosio ha culminado la rara hazaña de combinar el interés con la profundidad académica. Los cristianos de cualquier tradición podrán remontarse hasta los orígenes de su fe siguiendo los pasos de estos pioneros. Su historia es nuestra historia" -Profesor David Alton, Cámara de los Lores Marcellino D'Ambrosio es un conocido especialista en información religiosa. Es doctor en teología (dirigida por el cardenal Avery Dulles), ha sido profesor en la University of Dallas y ha publicado cientos de artículos. Posee un don para la comunicación que le ha permitido poner sus amplios conocimientos al alcance de un público tan amplio como variado. Tiene su página web y colabora semanalmente en varias cadenas de radio y televisión. Es coautor del best-seller The Guide to the Passion, con un millón de ejemplares vendidos.
