Europe is a relatively secular part of the world in global terms. Why is this so? And why is the situation in Europe so different from that in the United States? These are the key questions considered in this book; key questions (the theme) clearly articulated in the first chapter.Subsequent chapters explore the nature of Eurosecularity in more detail (the variations on the theme) - paying attention to its historical, philosophical and institutional dimensions. They also ask how the question of Eurosecularity is related to social difference (class, ethnicity etc.). In each chapter, the similar

This volume presents state-of-the-art research in mathematical physics addressed to a broad spectrum of readers, including graduate students, researchers, and others interested in this topic. Contributors to the volume participated in the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Physics held at Imperial College (London, UK). The contributions include, in particular, pedagogical lectures presented at the Young Researchers Symposium (YRS) held in association with the Congress, as well as public lectures given at the Congress, and the contributions from the winners of the Henri Poincaré prize

At the turn of the twentieth century, the French mathematician Paul Painlevé and his students classified second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the property that the location of possible branch points and essential singularities of their solutions does not depend on initial conditions. It turned out that there are only six such equations (up to natural equivalence), which later became known as Painlevé I-VI. Although these equations were initially obtained answering a strictly mathematical question, they appeared later in an astonishing (and growing) range of appl

Poetry expresses the deepest of emotions. It reveals the passionate core of what the writer is feeling and thus is able to carry the reader to feel those same emotions. With both the words spoken and the unspoken words, it allows the reader to transcend and unite in those emotions. Just like a song can touch your heart and cause you to connect with it in such a way to say, "Wow, that is what I am feeling"; poetry also touches our hearts in that same way. This collection of poems has been written over a period of many years. As a collection it expresses one major theme-that God is faithful, ful

Brown and Ortiz show that the differences that seem to separate children with handicaps from others are not important. What is important is the common delight in life--a desire to love, learn and play, and to be accepted for themselves as other children are.

The Future of Flesh examines ways in which “flesh” has been re-conceptualized in late twentieth- and early twenty-first centuries. Its twelve essays analyze contemporary attitudes to corporeal change resulting from pain, death, artistic experimentation or technological intervention, and highlight current transformations in the very definition of “flesh.” Cross-disciplinary in their approach, the essays in this collection investigate the  limits, the politics and the ethics surrounding corporeal change, and address topics that range from classical heroic bodies, and breast cancer photogr
