Polls show almost half of US adults believe that Earth is only 10,000 years old, whereas scientists consider our planet to be 4.56 billion years old. Examining these conflicting views illuminates aspects of the perceived conflict between religion and science, and helps us understand the battles between “evolutionist” and “creationist” advocates. This book examines how we approach knowledge, and how we look at certainty. It disentangles the threads of the traditional knowledge we are taught from the knowledge we gain from our own investigation of truth. It argues that nature, the basis of science, and scripture, the basis of religion, derive from a single source. Because of their shared origins, religious and scientific perspectives grounded in verifiable truths must be in harmony. The book presents the science behind the reliability of isotopic dates, and critiques young-earth creationist attacks on isotopic studies. Though the nature of time is a philosophical issue, its measurement is a scientific venture that has affirmed that Earth is 4.56 billion years old. The harmony of science and religion, based on recognition of their single source, is a prerequisite for the progress of humanity as a whole.

"Pascal, the admirable logician of Christianity" Freidrich Nietzsche This newly translated collection presents Pascal’s philosophical reflections on persuasion, human greatness, and the complexity of emotions. This new Reader's Edition from Livraria Press contains a new Afterword by the translator on Pascal's personal relationship with Descartes and his intellectual objections to the new Cartesian rationality which fundamentally changed the course of both Science and Philosophy and a short biography on Pascal's life and impact. This is followed by a timeline of his life and relationships, an index of his core Philosophic terminology, a chronological list and summary of all of his published and posthumous works, and the text of Pascal's Memorial, a poetic, fragmented account of his divine vision in 1654. This extra material introduces the reader to Pascal's metaphysical works and brings to life Pascal's witness of the dawn of a new Scientific age. This is volume 4 of the 7-part Complete Works of Pascal by Livraria Press. This volume covers Pascal’s groundbreaking contributions to mathematics, science, and engineering, as well as his Scientific-Philosophical commentary on the Enlightenment's Scientific progress. This volume contains: 1660: The Art of Persuasion 1660: Three Discourses on the Condition of the Great 1662: A Speech in Which We Show That There Is No Necessary Relationship Between Possibility and Power 1643: Discourse on the Passions of Love Pascal's "Trois discours sur la condition des grands" is an examination of the moral conditions of the nobility and influential figures of his time. He uses these discourses to highlight the often unjust and arbitrary nature of social hierarchies, emphasizing the moral and ethical responsibilities that come with power. Discourse on the Passions of Love ("Discours sur les passions de l’amour" ) is another response to the watershed philosophy of his friend, contemporary and fellow Catholic Scientist, Rene Descartes. The Art of Persuasion (later, Schopenhauer would write a book by the same name), and is a commentary on Descartes Cogito Ergo Sum and its Epistemological impacts. Pascal draws a line between knowledge that enters from the heart into the mind (truths of faith) and truths that enter from the mind into the heart. Only the latter are within the reach of our understanding. Now, our opinions enter the soul either demonstrated by the understanding or by the pleasure of the will. The art of persuasion therefore has as its object the way in which men consent to what is proposed to them, and to the conditions we want them to believe.

This book is a comprehensive journey through the pathogenesis and treatment of meniscal pathology. It details the elements that are necessary to properly understand, diagnose, and treat meniscal tears, ranging from vertical tears to radial tears and root avulsions. Treatment techniques are thoroughly described and illustrated, with presentation of the latest evidence on outcomes. The algorithmic treatment of meniscal tears has undergone a rapid transformation. We have progressed from the initial treatments involving removal of the meniscus using an open technique, to the performance of partial meniscectomies and complex meniscal repairs by means of an arthroscopic technique. The current treatment goal is to maintain the biology and mechanical integrity of this vital knee structure, an aim too often disregarded by past generations of surgeons. An explosion of new knowledge, coupled with advances in arthroscopic and surgical technology, has paved the way for wider application of approaches that help to preserve the meniscus, in the hope of preventing or delaying the development of knee arthritis. This book will have utility for all clinicians who treat meniscal lesions and will serve as a valuable resource for years to come.

Aimed at students of organizational communications, this text separates the concept of socially constructed identity from its theoretical underpinnings to discuss communications between different categories of identity. Allen (U. of Colorado, Denver) takes categories of difference (gender, race, class, sexuality, age and ability) in turn to remind her students that each "matters," despite the traditions of prejudice. Each chapter includes questions for reflection. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

Many strategies fail not because they are improperly formulated but because they are poorly implemented. The Oxford Handbook of Strategy Implementation examines the crucial role of implementation in how business and managerial strategies produce returns. In this wide-ranging collection of essays, leading scholars address governance, resources, human capital, and accounting-based control systems, advancing our understanding of strategy implementation and identifying opportunities for future research on this important process.
