The Dynamical Mordell–Lang Conjecture

By: Jason P. Bell,Dragos Ghioca,Thomas J. Tucker

The Dynamical Mordell-Lang Conjecture is an analogue of the classical Mordell-Lang conjecture in the context of arithmetic dynamics. It predicts the behavior of the orbit of a point x under the action of an endomorphism f of a quasiprojective complex variety X. More precisely, it claims that for any point x in X and any subvariety V of X, the set of indices n such that the n-th iterate of x under f lies in V is a finite union of arithmetic progressions. In this book the authors present all known results about the Dynamical Mordell-Lang Conjecture, focusing mainly on a p-adic approach which provides a parametrization of the orbit of a point under an endomorphism of a variety.

The Designer Who Revolutionized Nike and Adidas

By: Jason Coles

A tribute to the visionary designer whose creative brilliance left an indelible mark on the world of sneakers, athletic wear and the sports industry, uniquely becoming one of the most influential and celebrated creative directors of both Adidas and Nike. The book reveals for the first time the inside story behind the creation of the Air Jordan 1, the sneaker that lives at the heart of modern streetwear culture, the much loved ‘Wings’ and ‘Jumpman’ logos, the groundbreaking Adidas Equipment and Originals lines, and the iconic Adidas ‘Performance’ logo. Included in this book are Moore’s early designs, concept sketches, revolutionary advertising campaigns and personal artworks. His creative path from his early days as a graphic design student to eventually reshaping both Nike and Adidas is an inspirational guide for the trailblazers of modern streetwear culture. His unyielding genius and influence finally receiving their due recognition within the pages of this book. Working in close collaboration with Moore’s three sons and many of his closest friends and colleagues, Coles uses the legendary creative’s own words to weave together an elaborate tapestry of the life and legacy of the sports industry icon. Not merely an encyclopedic visual history of his contributions to streetwear, the pages of this book serve as a heartfelt tribute to the late designer. The book is punctuated throughout by quotes and contributions from the likes of Michael Jordan, Tinker Hatfield, adidas CEO Bjørn Gulden, Nike co-founder Phil Knight, Darryl McDaniels of Run DMC and art director Jacques Chassaing, along with many who worked closely with Moore and are today among streetwear’s most influential designers.

The Making of Evangelical Spirituality

The Making of Evangelical Spirituality

By: Jason Cherry

How did it come to be that evangelicals expect individualized, extrabiblical revelation from God? What has happened culturally, historically, and theologically to make this the ubiquitous assumption of evangelical spirituality? The Making of Evangelical Spirituality is a compound of history and theology applied to the subject of evangelical spirituality--specifically, the phenomenon of evangelicals thinking "God spoke to me" in a still, quiet voice. The story is complex, multifaceted, and urgently in need of telling. Few Christians know the history of the spiritual expectations heaped upon them. Few know the individuals who gave shape to evangelical spirituality, spiritual chieftains who were often guided by uniquely ephemeral, social, and cultural forces. There is no towering figure like Martin Luther that stands as the lone front man for the esoterica of evangelical spirituality. Instead, it's the osmosis of many fascinating people struggling through life in the storm of worldly and cultural momentum. This book is the story of those hermits, monks, reformers, heretics, politicians, outcasts, and preachers who gave shape. Failure to tell the story now risks it becoming just another part of historical compost, threatening to make evangelicals forever ignorant of what they are tossing into the garden of their soul.

Caribbean Anti-Trafficking Law and Practice

Caribbean Anti-Trafficking Law and Practice

By: Jason Haynes

This monograph investigates the International, European and Commonwealth Caribbean approaches to human trafficking from an Analytical Eclectic perspective. It presents a compelling, empirically based argument that although there is currently a panoply of measures aimed at preventing human trafficking, prosecuting offenders and protecting trafficked victims in both Europe and the Commonwealth Caribbean, these measures have in practice been fraught with a number of challenges, whether of a normative, institutional or individual nature. The continued existence of these challenges strongly suggests that there exists a 'disconnect' between anti-trafficking law and practice which is not peculiar to small-island developing States since they also extend to developed States, including the United Kingdom. Although these challenges are not insurmountable, this monograph advances the argument that sustained social, economic, political and legal commitments are both necessary and desirable, and that without such commitments, only pyrrhic victories would be won in the fight to eradicate the scourge of the twenty-first century. Given the importance of the issue of human trafficking and its inescapable impact on victims, families, communities, nations, regions and the international community as a whole, this monograph will serve as an important resource for policy makers, scholars, students and practitioners actively working in this increasingly dynamic area of law.

The Concealment of the State

The Concealment of the State

By: Jason Royce Lindsey

Concealing the state frees us from admitting the unpleasant truth-in today's world we are utterly dependent upon the state's increasingly frantic efforts to control risk. To this end, states have created systems of coercion and surveillance that are difficult to reconcile with our theories of political legitimacy. The dominant ideology of contemporary politics has become the concealment of the state's overwhelming power and role in daily life. We prefer the comfortable illusion that we are autonomous individuals pursuing our plans in a free market. If we hold fast to that idea, then our distance from policy makers and dwindling political influence seems less important. Nonetheless, this book draws upon the anarchist tradition and a wide range of accessible policy examples (ranging from military organization and environmental regulations to scientific investment and education) to reveal the active role of contemporary states behind this ideological screen. Lindsey argues that we need a new politics that focuses on exposing and challenging the contemporary state's hidden agency. Otherwise, how can we democratically control the state when it denies, from the outset, having the ability to meet our demands?
