Pious Irreverence: Confronting God in Rabbinic Judaism (Divinations: Rereading Late Ancient Religion) by Dov Weiss Pious Irreverence: Confronting God in Rabbinic Judaism (Divinations: Rereading Late Ancient Religion) by Dov Weiss PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad Judaism is often described as a religion that tolerates, even celebrates arguments with God. Unlike Christianity and Islam, it is said, Judaism endorses a tradition of protest as first expressed in the biblical stories of Abraham, Job, and Jeremiah. In Pious Irreverence , Dov Weiss has written the first scholarly study of the premodern roots of this distinctively Jewish theology of protest, examining its origins and development in the rabbinic age. Weiss argues that this particular Jewish relationship to the divine is rooted in the most canonical of rabbinic texts even as he demonstrates that in ancient Judaism the idea of debating God was itself a matter of debate. By elucidating competing views and exploring their theological assumpt...

Indian Women and French Men: Rethinking Cultural Encounter in the Western Great Lakes (Native Americans of the Northeast) by Susan Sleeper-Smith Indian Women and French Men: Rethinking Cultural Encounter in the Western Great Lakes (Native Americans of the Northeast) by Susan Sleeper-Smith PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad A center of the lucrative fur trade throughout the colonial period, the Great Lakes region was an important site of cultural as well as economic exchange between native and European peoples. In this well-researched study, Susan Sleeper-Smith focuses on an often overlooked aspect of these interactions―the role played by Indian women who married French traders.Drawing on a broad range of primary and secondary sources, she shows how these women used a variety of means to negotiate a middle ground between two disparate cultures. Many were converts to Catholicism who constructed elaborate mixed-blood kinship networks that paralleled those of native society, thus facilitating the in...

Pricing and Revenue Optimization by Robert Phillips Pricing and Revenue Optimization by Robert Phillips PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad This is the first comprehensive introduction to the concepts, theories, and applications of pricing and revenue optimization. From the initial success of "yield management" in the commercial airline industry down to more recent successes of markdown management and dynamic pricing, the application of mathematical analysis to optimize pricing has become increasingly important across many different industries. But, since pricing and revenue optimization has involved the use of sophisticated mathematical techniques, the topic has remained largely inaccessible to students and the typical manager. With methods proven in the courses taught by the author at Columbia and Stanford Business Schools as well as through his experience as founder of Nomis Solutions, this book presents the basic concepts of pricing and revenue optimization in a form accessible to M...

A Guide to the Dirty South_Atlanta by Jennifer Bonner A Guide to the Dirty South_Atlanta by Jennifer Bonner PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad Drawing on the format of the urban guidebook, A Guide to the Dirty South―Atlanta generates a new discourse about the architecture of the American South. By guiding readers on a tour of Atlanta, this project seeks to reclaim a regional identity for cities otherwise deemed to be a "backwoods" by the East and West Coasts. Borrowing from the hip hop industry and recognising the rivalry between the two coasts, A Guide to the Dirty South―Atlanta redirects our attention to a ‘third coast’. Steeped in geography, historical events, typology, storytelling, and popular culture, trajectories through the city that the guide takes are idiosyncratic but urge the discipline of architecture toward a long overdue reading of Dirty South regionalism. Part tour guide, part architectural manual, the publication also features oral histories in a set of interviews with...

Pathways and Passages: A Year of Haiku by Robert W. Barker Pathways and Passages: A Year of Haiku by Robert W. Barker PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad This short book is a distillation of a series of Haiku written by the author over a period of one year. It was an enforced exercise in meditation, spending a portion of each day in quiet contemplation, during a very difficult year in his life. This selection provides one poem for each week of the year. They are roughly broken into four classifications, Relationships, Spirits, Nature and Vision, and ending with Pathways and Passages, though some defy classification. Some of the poems examine the time of life, such as The Gaining: Time, signpost of life; To gain life, leave time behind. Treasure the losing. Others are focused more on visions of spirits, such as 911 Anniversary: Touch the fading dreams; Wind whispers, gray smoke dissolves. Nothing left to hold. From reader reviews: Elizabeth Branch: This Pathways and Passages: A Year of Hai...
