Language has been a major theme in philosophy of religion for more than half a century. The present work looks to the sense of being called that lies at the heart of Christian life and asks what this shows us about what it is to be human and what the God-relationship means for those having such a call.

This book examines and analyzes tourism consumption and tourist experiences, employing a systematic and case study-driven perspective. Covering approaches with a wider geographical background, it considers issues like tourism place experience and co-creation, as well as the behavior of tourists on guided tours, at trade shows and exhibitions, and in museums. Dedicated chapters deal with the aspect of customer satisfaction in places such as hotels or restaurants. In closing, the book highlights tourist behavior in the context of cultural heritage, regional and cultural differences and the general frameworks of consumer happiness and responsibility. Given its focus, the book provides a unique view on the interplay of tourism consumption and tourist experiences, and presents a comprehensive selection of case studies to exemplify and discuss in detail the frameworks covered and the current state of practice.
Philo of Alexandria was a Jewish statesman, philosopher, and religious thinker. A significant amount of his literary corpus was preserved by Christian hands and thereby came to resource numerous theologians in the Christian tradition. After passing into obscurity in Jewish circles in antiquity, Philo was rediscovered in the Italian Renaissance and came to feature in Jewish tradition once again. Philo's works straddle an interest in exegesis and philosophy, and the multi-faceted contents of his thought ensured a long history of reception among readers with their own agendas. This authoritative and systematic collection of essays by an international team of experts surveys Philo's reception from the time of his immediate contemporaries to the present day. The book unfolds over six sections: the first centuries, late antiquity, the middle ages, the renaissance and early modern period, from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, and contemporary perspectives.
North Korean prison camps incarcerate up to three generations of families of people who are accused of opposing the government. The inmates are completely cut off from North Korean society, which in turn knows little about the camps.
In this book, the special efforts are spent to synthesis of Pristine and Palladium doped Bismuth Ferrite using various methods and finally one method is chosen to continue this research that is Sol-Gel method. Then, the synthesized samples are characterized by various characterization techniques. Finally, these samples are tested for gas sensors and photoactive applications. Chapter I presents the fundamental of various gas sensors and synthesis, structure properties and applications of Bismuth Ferrite. Chapter II deals with experimental techniques like X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy, Impedance spectroscopy, etc. Chapter III covers synthesis of pristine Bismuth ferrite using Sol-Gel method, synthesis of palladium doped Bismuth ferrite. Further, all results arediscussed related to gas sensing performance and photo-activity with various parameters. Chapter IV is devoted to summarize this research and future work. I hope that the book in its present form may be more suitable. I thank the publishers, Horizon Books Publication Delhi, whole heartedly for cooperation and goodwill. Dr. Shivaji Devrao Waghamare
In Greek Writers and Philosophers in Philo and Josephus Erkki Koskenniemi investigates how two Jewish writers, Philo and Josephus, quoted, mentioned and referred to Greek writers and philosophers. He asks what this tells us about their Greek education, their contacts with Classical culture in general, and about the societies in which Philo and Josephus lived. Although Philo in Alexandria and Josephus in Jerusalem both had the possibility to acquire a thorough knowledge of Greek language and culture, they show very different attitudes. Philo, who was probably admitted to the gymnasium, often and enthusiastically refers to Greek poets and philosophers. Josephus on the other hand rarely quotes from their works, giving evidence of a more traditionalistic tendencies among Jewish nobility in Jerusalem.
