    Grace and Social Ethics
    Carpenter, Angela
    Baker Academic, Div of Baker Publishing Group, 2025, 240 Seiten, ISBN 9781540961815
    Grace and Social Ethics demonstrates why the doctrine of grace has significant implications for social ethics and for Christian engagement with culture. The book reframes Christian social ethics by illuminating how grace shapes human identity and community.Angela Carpenter integrates theology and social science to articulate a vision of human persons as constituted by gift rather than merit. This graced anthropology compellingly bridges theology and contemporary research on human dependence and mutuality. Carpenter insightfully applies this graced identity to pressing issues in social ethics such as criminal justice, labor practices, and gun violence.Scholars and students of theological ethics as well as pastors seeking resources for moral formation will find illuminating perspectives in this integrative work, which situates social justice imperatives within God's gracious purposes.

    Rapiers and Battleaxes
    Kamm, Josephine
    Routledge, 2024, 1. Auflage, 244 Seiten, ISBN 9781032851570
    The long and bitter struggle for the vote is certainly the most spectacular part of the history of women's emancipation. Originally published in 1966 Rapiers and Battleaxes tells the story in its wider aspect and in terms of the pioneers in the various fields.Just a hundred years previously - in 1866 - the first women's suffrage committee was formed in London with the object of collecting signatures to petition for the enfranchisement of women which John Stuart Mill, MP for Westminster, had undertaken to present in Parliament. Prominent among the committee members were Barbara Bodichon, who had been active ten years earlier in the agitation for the Married Women's Property Bill; Emily Davies, pioneer of higher education for women; and Elizabeth Garrett, who was the first woman to obtain a medical training in this country. Among the pioneers also are Mary Wollstonecraft, whose book A Vindication of the Rights of Woman sparked off the women's movement; the philanthropist Angela Burdett-Coutts; the social reformers Mary Carpenter, Louisa Twining and Octavia Hill; Emma Paterson and her work for women's trade unions; Sophia Jex-Blake, who forced an entry for women into the medical profession; and Josephine Butler and her courageous campaign for the repeal of the Contagious Diseases Acts. In the political field, of course, are Emmeline Pankhurst and her followers; and also Millicent Fawcett, Elizabeth Garrett's younger sister, the statesmanlike leader of the constitutional suffragists, and Eleanor Rathbone, MP, her successor in the campaign for equal rights.The story is brought up to date with the work of other women in Parliament and the appointment in 1965 of the first woman High Court Judge. And it points to the outstanding problem at the time, which was not so much lack of equal pay - although this still existed, particularly in trade and industry - but of equal opportunity. Subjects still being fought today, this reissue can be read in its historical context.

    Tales of Music, Murder, and Mayhem

    Down & Out Books, 2024, 386 Seiten, ISBN 9781643963792
    Music City, sometimes known as Nashville, has a 200-year history indelibly intertwined with music. Folk, R&B, rock 'n' roll, bluegrass, jazz, C&W, disco, classical, the sounds of Nashville are woven into the heart and soul of the city. Every city has its dark side and Nashville is no exception. Music may soothe the savage beast, but when the piper falls the beast emerges from the shadows to murder the not-so-innocent and sow mayhem on the unsuspecting. Indulge in twenty-four mesmerizing tales crafted by talented Bouchercon writers of mystery. These stories share a melody of music, murder, and mayhem: A gift given with strings attached, even to a cello, can backfire. Would you kill for that lucky break-kill to be the One? Do you recognize the murderous details hidden in that ballad's lyrics? When music and murder mix, will the past remain the past? Are the voices of the dead harmonizing in that hauntingly beautiful song? And more: stories of tailor-made revenge, the price of heckling, and the perils of being in a boy band. Music lives forever, but while you're still here, enjoy these tales of revenge and retribution, murder and obsession, robbery and rock 'n' roll, stolen dreams and thwarted desires, the blues and a comeback at any cost, all inspired by Nashville's legacy of music. With stories by the exceptional and amazing: Eric Beckstrom, Eric Beetner, Valerie (V.M.) Burns, Emily Carpenter, HC Chan, Michael Amos Cody, Tina deBellegarde, Mary Dutta, Michael Ferreter, Barry Fulton, Heather Graham, Rachel Howzell Hall and M.G. Hall, Sarah Zachrich Jeng, D.P. Lyle, Jenny Ramaley, Merrilee Robson, Peggy Rothschild, H.K. Slade, Clay Stafford, Kelli Stanley, JD Trafford, Mark Troy, Gabriel Valjan, and Erica Wright. Critical Acclaim for Tales of Music, Murder, and Mayhem: "An anthology that gives an entirely new meaning to the phrase 'killer beat.' An exceptional work, and a grand homage to Music City, USA." -Joel W. Barrows, author of the Deep Cover thrillers "Stories so rich in detail that it's like getting twenty-four novels for the price of one." -Stephen D. Rogers, crime fiction author "Tales of Music, Murder, and Mayhem is a thoroughly enjoyable volume certain to top the charts with a platinum collection of 25 original crime fiction stories written by some of today's finest maestros of mystery." -Andrew McAleer, co-editor of Edgar & Shamus Go Golden, and author of the Henry von Stray mysteries "Just as the 'Nashville sound' covers the range of human emotion, so do these stories-amusing, thrilling and heartbreaking. Like good country songs, you'll want to revisit them again and again." -R.J. Koreto, author of the Historic Homes series "Music has a dark side. Yet it binds everything together. Nowhere is that truer than the country music capital of the world. And nowhere is that better illustrated than the stories of Tales of Music, Murder, and Mayhem." -Jim Winter, author of the Holland Bay series "These stories of cheating hearts, hard times and heartache, all the country music classics, make this a killer anthology." -Elaine Viets, author of A Scarlet Death, an Angela Richman, Death Investigator mystery "Tales of Music, Murder and Mayhem, the 2024 Bouchercon anthology, lives up to the promise of its title.

    Sustainability in the Maritime Domain

    Springer, 2022, 1st ed. 2021, 525 Seiten, ISBN 9783030693275
    This volume explores options for a sustainable maritime domain, including maritime transportation, such as, Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP), maritime education and training, maritime traffic and advisory systems, maritime security. Other activities in the maritime domain covered in the book include small-scale fisheries and sustainable fisheries, and greening the blue economy. The book aims to provide the building blocks needed for a framework for good ocean governance; a framework that will serve through the next decade and, and hopefully, well beyond the 2030 milepost of the UN Agenda for Sustainable Development. In short, this book brings together the problems of the current world and sustainable solutions that are in the development process and will eventually materialize in the not so distant future. Additionally, the book presents a trans-disciplinary analysis of integral sustainable maritime transportation solutions and crucial issues relevant to good ocean governance that have recently been discussed at different national, regional and international fora, highlighting ongoing work to develop and support governance systems that facilitate industry requirements, and meet the needs of coastal states and indigenous peoples, of researchers, of spatial planners, and of other sectors dependent on the oceans.The book will be of interest to researchers across many disciplines, especially those that are engaged in cross-sectoral research and developments in the maritime transport sector and across the wider maritime domain. To this end, the book covers areas including natural and social sciences, geographical studies, spatial planning, maritime security and gender studies, as they relate to transport and the wider maritime sector. In addition, the book explores frameworks for sustainable ocean governance being developed under the UN's Agenda for Sustainable Development to 2030. It will also look beyond the 2030 milepost under that Agenda, and will be of use to national and international policymakers and practitioners, government actors at the EU and other regional and national levels and to researchers of ocean governance, sustainability and management, and maritime transport.

    The Making of Things
    Jacobus, Frank; Carpenter, Angela; Smith Loerts, Rachel; Tucker, Justin M.; Dickinson, Randal
    Routledge, 2021, 1. Auflage, 298 Seiten, ISBN 9780367415204
    The Making of Things is about effect and intention in the schematic architectural model, a deep dive into the nature of architectonic form as the underlying syntax for all architectural work. By focusing on primitive geometries alongside fundamental principles of architectural thinking and making, this book enhances the reader's capacity to intellectually and physically craft models that effectively communicate intention.With over 650 diagrams, this book acts as an expansive visual glossary that reveals the underlying structure of architectonics and acts as an encyclopedia of formal possibilities. Supporting essays in the book explore the nature of perception, abstraction, and metaphor to provide a theoretical basis of formal effects in architecture. This structure enables readers to make clear and direct connections between the things you construct and the reasons you construct them. This book is a bridge from the what to the why of form-making. It is a pedagogical notebook, a design primer that prompts discourse about the nature of objects.This is a must-have desk reference for beginning architecture and interior design students to stimulate their creative approaches and gain foundational knowledge of the underlying effects of formal typologies and how they manifest themselves in built forms around the world.

    European Port Cities in Transition

    Springer, 2021, 2020 ed., 345 Seiten, ISBN 9783030364663
    Seaports, as part of urban centers, play a major role in the cultural, social and economic life of the cities in which they are located, and through the links they provide to the outside world. Port-cities in Europe have faced significant change, first with the loss of heavy industry, emergence of Eastern European democracies, and the widening of the European Community (now European Union) during the second half of the twentieth century, and more recently through drivers to change including the global Sustainable Development Agenda and the European Union Circular Economy Agenda. This book examines the role of modern seaports in Europe and consider how port-cities are responding to these major drivers for change. It discusses the broad issues facing European Sea Ports, including port life cycles, spatial planning, and societal integration. May 2019 saw the 200th anniversary of the first steam ship to cross the Atlantic between the US and England, and it is just over 60 years since the invention of the modern intermodal shipping container - both drivers of change in the maritime and ports industry. Increasing movements of people, e.g. through low cost cruises to port cities, can play a major role in changing the nature of such a city and impact on the lives of the people living there. This book brings together original research by both long-standing and younger scholars from multiple disciplines and builds upon the wider discourse about sea ports, port cities, and sustainability.

    Die Funktion intertextueller Bez?ge in der Netflix-Serie "Stranger Things"

    Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Filmwissenschaft, Note: 1,7, Universität Siegen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In dieser Arbeit soll herausgearbeitet werden, inwiefern intertextuelle Bezüge in die filmische Gestaltung der Serie ¿Stranger Things¿ einfließen und wie durch postmoderne Ästhetik eine Nostalgie der 1980er geschaffen wird. Die Serie Stranger Things (2016-), welche am 15. Juli 2016 auf der Streaming-Plattform Netflix angelaufen ist, wird bereits nach der ersten Staffel von vielen Kritikern und Zuschauern ambivalent bewertet. Einerseits wird die Serie als ein Mix der größten kinematischen Klassiker der 1980er hoch gelobt und andererseits als ein leeres Gefäß gefüllt mit popkulturellen Referenzen bemängelt. Wenn Artikel oder Kritiken über die erfolgreiche Show erscheinen, fallen im Zusammenhang die großen Namen der Autoren und Regisseure der Popkultur wie Steven Spielberg, Stephen King und John Carpenter.

    Responsive Becoming: Moral Formation in Theological, Evolutionary, and Developmental Perspective
    Carpenter, Angela
    T.& T.Clark Ltd, 2020, 200 Seiten, ISBN 9780567698162
    This volume offers an interdisciplinary study of Reformed sanctification and human development, providing the foundation for a constructive account of Christian moral formation that is attentive both to divine grace and to the significance of natural, embodied processes. Angela Carpenter's argument also addresses the impressions that such theologies give; namely either solitude in the face of adversity, or sheer passivity. Through careful examination of the doctrine of sanctification in three Reformed theologians - John Calvin, John Owen and Horace Bushnell-Carpenter argues that human responsiveness in the context of fellowship with the triune God provides a basic framework for a theological account of moral transformation. Her relational approach brings together divine and human agency in a dynamic process where both are indispensable. Supplying an account of moral formation located within Christian salvation, while also being attentive to embodied human nature and the sciences, this book is vital to all those interested in spiritual formation and the human capacity for love.

    Oil Pollution in the North Sea

    Springer, 2019, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2016, 312 Seiten, ISBN 9783319795492
    This volume offers a review of measures taken at different levels to prevent oil inputs to the North Sea from sources such as shipping and oil installations. A range of data from satellites, remote sensing, aerial surveillance, in-situ monitoring, oil spill sampling and beached bird surveys presents a comprehensive portrait of trends in oil pollution over many years. Topics include Bonn Agreement-based actions to eliminate illegal and accidental pollution from ships, OSPAR monitoring of oil installations, EMSA CleanSeaNet activities, and an internationally approved common standard for oil spills presented by the Bonn-OSINet. A chapter on the role of the IMO in preventing oil pollution from ships provides an international context, while others discuss efforts being made at the national level. A decadal review of the state of the North Sea prepared by OSPAR supports the view that there has been a significant reduction of oil inputs to the sea.

    Responsive Becoming: Moral Formation in Theological, Evolutionary, and Developmental Perspective
    Carpenter, Angela
    T.& T.Clark Ltd, 2019, 200 Seiten, ISBN 9780567685964
    This volume offers an interdisciplinary study of Reformed sanctification and human development, providing the foundation for a constructive account of Christian moral formation that is attentive both to divine grace and to the significance of natural, embodied processes. Angela Carpenter's argument also addresses the impressions that such theologies give; namely either solitude in the face of adversity, or sheer passivity. Through careful examination of the doctrine of sanctification in three Reformed theologians - John Calvin, John Owen and Horace Bushnell-Carpenter argues that human responsiveness in the context of fellowship with the triune God provides a basic framework for a theological account of moral transformation. Her relational approach brings together divine and human agency in a dynamic process where both are indispensable. Supplying an account of moral formation located within Christian salvation, while also being attentive to embodied human nature and the sciences, this book is vital to all those interested in spiritual formation and the human capacity for love.
