In the Namibian harbour town of Lüderitz, a liminal space where desert meets ocean, a terrible history is made intimate and personal when filmmaker Henry van Wyk must confront a childhood tragedy that has moulded his life. Having returned to his birthplace in an attempt to get his career back on track, Henry struggles to complete a documentary he is working on. He whiles away his mornings swimming in a nearby tidal pool on Shark Island, and finds himself increasingly drawn to the small town and its romantic possibilities. But the tranquil land hides a bloody history: Shark Island was once the site of a concentration camp, and a law firm is suing the German government for their role in the genocide of Namibia’s indigenous people. When Henry begins to interview the survivors’ descendants, their testimonies compel him to search the desert for a mass grave. At the Edge of the Desert is a meditation on loss, isolation and love, which asks us to consider the implications of telling someone else’s story.

Never before in mankind's history has it been more important to understand the story of the birth of Jesus, and yet, even though it has been told countless times, it is not fully understood by the majority of people. To many, it has become a crA"che on the mantelpiece, special church services, gift giving, and family time together. These may all be worthy things, to be sure, but the event was-and still is-so much more! This book explains the reality of Christmas and its part in the Father's eternal plan. It fills in the gaps, provides the proper order, and introduces the significant participants-all of them. This it does in the context of the times, the places, and the customs. Those marvelous events did not occur out of mere happenstance, but they had been planned before the foundation of this little planet and prophesied for centuries, even millennia, before they occurred. They rolled forth exactly as the Father planned. Not only will you come to know the purpose of each event, but in each and every case, you will discover that there were credible witnesses who testified to what they saw and heard. It will lift Christmas from out of the mythology that it has become and restore it back to its rightful place as the marvelous reality that it is. Most importantly, you will also learn how you personally can gain the undeniable assurance that the words of the witnesses are true. It's possible! In fact, after reading this book and applying for the assurances of the Holy Spirit, you will know the events of the first Christmas so well, you will have the feeling you were actually there-and perhaps you were!

The concept and institution of priesthood in the Catholic Church has been the subject of serious challenge not only since the time of the Protestant Reformation but also, more recently, from within the Catholic Church, as the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) and theologians afterward have reconsidered the place and function of priests in relation to both bishops and laity. In dialogue with those challenges, and by means of research into Scripture and the theological tradition--patristic, medieval, and modern--the author of this book considers classic images of priests and priestly ministry as a way of recovering an understanding of the priesthood that is at once both biblically and theological sound.
GOOD AND EVIL was written at the suggestion of some Bible students and was limited in scope to personal hygiene and disease pre-vention...how to keep healthy, stay young and live long...yet it was described by God Words and reader as Holy Bible in content because of my simple, direct and unpretentious style of writing. This book was written in the very same style and contains the answers to all the spiritual and medical problems of possible interest to the individual, to the family and to the community. The Good and Evil is regarding God, Satan, Sinful Disease, Seven Deadly Sins, the Sheep and the Goats, and Prayer cannot be rightly understood without some knowledge of general history during the millennium before Jesus Christ. The Bible is not only a book for Christians but a national literature, which needs to be studied, like any other literature, from an esthetic and historical point of view. The Divine Law: Good and Evil is Reverend Lawrence L. Blankenship sixth book in this series.
Engineers, scientists, and technologists will find here, for the first time, a clear and comprehensive account of applications of ultrasonics in the field of process control. Using numerous examples of high-volume, low-cost applications, the author illustrates how the use of new transducer materials and designs, combined with microprocessor-based electronics, make technical and financial sense for concepts that only a few years ago might have been of interest only to academicians. Some of the important topics covered include coupling, acoustic isolation, transducer and sensor design, and signal detection in the presence of noise.
This casebook offers students accessible, teachable, and insightful primary material, problems, and notes that clarify and encourage analysis of the law governing lawyers. The book’s innovative pedagogy uses a combination of problems faced by fictitious law firm “Martyn and Fox,” cases, ethics opinions, notes, and tables to support its focus on teaching the Model Rules of Professional Conduct and the Restatement of the Law Governing Lawyers and invite consideration of lawyer ethical dilemmas. The book’s manageable length makes it short enough to provide focus, but long enough to convey the rich texture of the subject. New to the Fifth Edition: New co-authors Profs. Ana Pottratz Acosta and Ashley M. London bring to this edition their combined years of legal practice, clinical legal education, expertise in legal analysis, and classroom pedagogy. Expanded coverage of agency law and fiduciary duties, along with new and updated cases, ethics opinions, problems, notes, and tables. 6 new court decisions, including In re Giuliani (summary disbarment) and King v. Whitmer (frivolous lawsuit sanctions). 8 new ethics opinions address contemporary issues, such as e-lawyering, client fraud on administrative agencies and courts, lawyer-directors and entity clients, immigration, and representing fiduciary clients who harm beneficiaries. 16 “Afterwords” provide students with additional information about the parties and the subsequent impact of cases. Professors and students will benefit from: Comprehensive coverage of a wide range of ethical issues and remedies through a combination of 138 short problems, 55 cases, 16 afterwords, 13 ethics opinions, 13 tables, and explanatory notes throughout that showcase and clarify the law governing lawyers. Student-accessible, teachable problems encourage nuanced explorations of the Model Rules, Restatement, cases, and materials, suited to both large- and small-classes. Thematic notes introduce students to sources and content of the law governing lawyers and commentary about the legal profession organized around recurring themes: Lawyers’ Roles (lawyers who suffer consequences by under- or over-identifying with clients and those who avoid these dangers) The Law Governing Lawyers (professional discipline, tort liability, and equitable remedies, including undue influence presumptions, constructive trusts, fee forfeiture, disqualification, injunctive relief, and procedural sanctions) The Bounds of the Law (the rules of professional conduct, court orders, fraud, crime, and applicable statutes) Lawyers and Clients (ethics issues arising in specific client representations, such as pro bono, criminal and insurance defense, organizations, and governments) Text is short enough to cover in a typical course but detailed enough to provide thorough treatment of the issues at hand.
