Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Math Poetry, an extraordinary venture to say the least, is my way of taking mathematics to the next level as I see it. My collection includes math applications in verse, mathematical enigmas and teasers, expository math poetry, and a rhythmic math rap. This is an old story that has sparked my interest since childhood. I grew up showered with nursery rhymes and songs. My mother sung numerous nursery rhymes and songs to me and my brothers and sisters as we were growing up back in the early 60's. I absolutely loved it. Since both math and writing are two of my favorite pastimes, a merger between the two was inevitable. As I was enthralled in my writing, I threw in some fascination, imagination, and exhilaration in an effort to capture the interest of the reader.'.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - For decades, as the ruling Hutus vow to cleanse their lands of their ancient enemies, the Tutsi, a bloody and ceaseless act of extermination has torn the tiny nation of Rwanda apart. The result is the Rwandan Genocide, a brutal effort to obliterate a people the ruling Hutu disparagingly call 'cockroaches.' The Tutsi, desperate and outraged, have mounted a vicious defense to reclaim their lands and their dignity. In the broad, bloody brushstrokes of genocide, it is easy to forget that the horrifying numbers are comprised of individuals. It is easier to forget the stories of those brave individuals who fought for survival and who risked everything to protect them. For those Tutsi lucky enough to escape the Genocide, the Benaco refugee camp in Tanzania offers their only sanctuary. Inside the camp, emotions run high. The alcohol-soaked and clever British director, Elsdon Beckett, fights to deal with the chaos. His job is complicated by the arrival of Dr. Annie Banks, who seems to have arrived only to prove to him, once and for all, that she is over him. Then Joseph Carlton, Jr., a prominent Georgia attorney, unexpectedly shows up. Carlton-for reasons only he knows-has just walked out of the biggest trial of his life and disappeared into Rwanda. As the civil war rages, the UN workers and the Tutsi refugees fight for their lives. In this place of fragile sanctuary, danger looms everywhere and no one is guaranteed a future, let alone a happy ending.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Pretribulation Rapture Theory and Dispensationalism Revisited reviews and critiques a confusing array of popular theories that address the return of Jesus Christ and the church's rapture. It proposes that a clarifying approach rests in letting Scripture interpret Scripture, which yields a simpler, more natural, and consistent explanation of the pretribulation rapture and dispensationalism.Drawing upon thousands of hours of Bible study, J. Mike Byrd presents an analysis and a related proposal that avoid both unthinking conformity to popular notions and oversimplification for the sake of palatability.The Pretribulation Rapture Theory and Dispensationalism Revisited addresses methods of interpretation, defines dispensationalism and the Dispensational Principle, examines the scriptural testimony surrounding the day of the Lord and the day of God's wrath, surveys the issues regarding imminence, and discusses the rapture, the resurrection, and Christ's second coming.If you wonder what Scripture clearly teaches about the this world's demise, the end of human existence, and the onset of God's sure and certain work to establish his reign, then The Pretribulation Rapture Theory and Dispensationalism Revisited should offer you the scripturally grounded review, analysis, and explanation you need to understand the Scripture's teachings on these ultimate issues.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Elaborados en Estados Unidos alrededor del 2007-2010 estos cuentos y relatos abarcan tres diferentes etapas. La primera transcurre en Trinidad, una de las primeras villas fundadas en Cuba por los conquistadores españoles a principios del siglo XVI. Los trinitarios, quizás como ningún otro pueblo, todavía en la década de los 50 vivían en el pasado lejano.

Títulos: Carnaval Sangriento, Hospital Psiquiátrico, El Pitirre y Gemelos. Este libro culmina con sucesos del Miami enviciado de los años 80.
