Mathematics
This book revolutionizes the prevailing understanding and teaching of math. This book is a must for all upper-level Christian school curricula and for college students and adults interested in math or related fields of science and religion. It will serve as a solid refutation for the claim, often made in court, that mathematics is one subject which cannot be taught from a distinctively biblical perspective. - Back cover.

The New Joyce Studies
"While, from the outside, Joyce studies might appear monolithic, from within, it is manifold, divergent, and lively. The sixteen essays in this volume indicate an expanded and interconnected conversation that brings into relation hitherto distant locales and types of criticism. Taking European, African, Latin American, trans-continental and global perspectives, these essays work within and between a range of critical approaches and vantage points. Many of them engage in new ways with the discussions of Irish history and politics begun by in the mid-nineties by scholars such as Emer Nolan, Vincent J. Cheng, Marjorie Howes, and Derek Attridge. These historical and political concerns have continued to bear fruit in recent years, as evidenced by works by Cheng, Luke Gibbons, and Andrew Gibson. Several of the essays in this volume bring these concerns into relation with issues such as queerness, race, and transnational literary relations. Others examine issues of composition and publication, copyright law, translation, and the history of modernist criticism"--
The Withdrawal of Rights
Like most discussions within the tradition of rights-talk, this study is motivated by the desire to promote the idea that rights are moral assets that people should acquire in the course of their membership within social and political frameworks. However, while most participants in rights-talk concentrate on the safety and protection constraints required for a successful exercising of rights, the present study inquires into the circumstances under which people's rights lose their validity. The author believes that if we want to prevent the erosion of the role of rights within society and to encourage their obligatory status, we should prevent their misuse, or their unjustified or excessive use. Those who have interests in rights, and are concerned about their withdrawal or denial, will find a unique and inventive way of dealing both with the use, as well as the abuse of rights.
