Seasons of Grace

Reflections from the Christian Year

By: James F. Kay

Seasons of Grace' is a fitting title for this collection of brief sermons. Readers will find within it homilies that, while sometimes challenging, are never merely moralistic and are always contemporary and encouraging - applications of grace to seasons of our lives as well as a tracing of gracious themes through seasons of the Christian year. James Kay gives us clearly structured pieces presented in a vigorous, colloquial style and marked by arresting turns of phrase. These sermons will stimulate the imaginations of preachers and enrich the devotional lives of parishioners. Marguerite Shuster, Fuller Theological Seminary These sermons are a preacher's delight. Not only do they reveal the integrity of a systematic theologian, the insight of a liturgical scholar, and the craft of a homiletics professor, but they are first and foremost pastoral proclamation. James Kay's sensitivity to text and context makes this real preaching to real congregations - authentic proclamations of the Word. There is no stained-glass language here, just the clear radiance of the Word shining into everyday lives, bringing the light, hope, and life of the gospel. Organized around the Christian year, these sermons will appeal to lectionary preachers as well as those who value the freedom of selecting their own texts on a weekly basis. Even more, they will be a wonderful devotional resource for pastor and parishioner alike. Fred R. Anderson, Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, New York With the newspaper in one hand and the Bible in the other, with the daily cries of God's children in one ear and the Word of God made flesh in the other, with the particular needs of parishioners on his heart and the mercy of a tender God in his head, James Kay proclaims the gospel with clarity, directness, and strength. This is no general proclamation but rather a word of healing and help that addresses real people's lives, a word that joins reader to congregation in one body of faith and hope and love. Cynthia A. Jarvis, Nassau Presbyterian Church, Princeton James F. Kay is assistant professor of homiletics at Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, New Jersey. He is the author of 'Christus Praesens: A Reconsideration of Rudolf Bultmann's Christology'.

Encountering Gorillas

A Chronicle of Discovery, Exploitation, Understanding, and Survival

By: James L. Newman

Gorillas, the largest of the apes inhabiting our planet, have been a source of fear, awe, and inspiration to humans. In this book, James L. Newman brings a lifetime of study of Africa to his compelling story of the rich and varied interaction between gorillas and humans since earliest contact. He illuminates the complex relationship over time through the interlinked themes of discovery, exploitation, understanding, and continuing survival. Tragically, the number of free-living gorillas—facing habitat loss, disease, and poaching—has declined dramatically over the course of the past century, and the future of the few that remain is highly uncertain. At the same time, those in zoos and sanctuaries now lead much more secure lives than they did earlier. Newman follows this transition, highlighting the roles played by key individuals, both humans and gorillas. Among the former have been adventurers, opportunists, writers, and scientists. The latter include real gorillas, such as Gargantua and Koko, and fictional ones, notably King Kong and Mighty Joe Young. This thoughtful and engaging book helps us understand how our image of gorillas has been both distorted and clarified through culture and science for centuries and how we now control the destiny of these magnificent great apes.

Molecular Motors in Bionanotechnology

By: Keith Firman,James Youell

Biological molecular motors provide most cells with the dynamic systems required for their day-to-day existence. Examples occur in even the simplest organism (e.g. a bacteria virus), and the range of tasks that they carry out is vast. Over the last few years, there has been a large increase in the study of these motors, and it is becoming apparent that many motors will find uses in either bionanotechnology or synthetic biology. Molecular Motors in Bionanotechnology describes a wide range of molecular motors, ranging from chemical motors to biological motors, in a manner that updates, or reviews, both classification of the type of motor and the grouping into families. Many techniques have evolved to study and characterise molecular motors at the single-molecule level (e.g. use of molecular tweezer devices for single-molecule studies). The text introduces the reader to the concepts and benefits of these techniques. In addition, it looks at the structural information and how this helps understand function and, finally, how some of these motors are being used or may be used in the future as part of a synthetic biology approach to building devices and sensors.
