Horse-and-buggy Mennonites, like the more readily identified Amish, live a purposely simple lifestyle. They do this because their beliefs, which are based on biblical principles, guide them. Supposedly. Like so much of the Evangelical community, the foundation of their faith hinges on biblical texts, understood as being the Word of God. As in other fundamentally Christian denominations, certain texts are emphasized more than others, and these distinctions become expressed in their worldview and sometimes in their ways of living. Regardless of how the details of their understanding and lifestyle are expressed, the notion of truth--perhaps God's truth--would presumably undergird what is of most value. But the devil is in the details regarding that assumption. The details (actions taken and the failure to act) provide a better understanding of how complex the lives are of these horseand-buggy Mennonites--a group known for their simple lifestyle. My findings suggest that their lives are far from simple.

This book features 15 chapters based on the Numerical and Evolutionary Optimization (NEO 2017) workshop, held from September 27 to 29 in the city of Tijuana, Mexico. The event gathered researchers from two complimentary fields to discuss the theory, development and application of state-of-the-art techniques to address search and optimization problems. The lively event included 7 invited talks and 64 regular talks covering a wide range of topics, from evolutionary computer vision and machine learning with evolutionary computation, to set oriented numeric and steepest descent techniques. Including research submitted by the NEO community, the book provides informative and stimulating material for future research in the field.
This graphic collection of first-hand accounts sheds new light on the experiences of the French army during the Great War.
