Science Diplomacy

New Day Or False Dawn?

By: Lloyd S. Davis

As modern foreign policy and international relations encompass more and more scientific issues, we are moving towards a new type of diplomacy, known as "Science Diplomacy". Will this new diplomacy of the 21st century prove to be more effective than past diplomacy for the big issues facing the world, such as climate change, food and water insecurity, diminishing biodiversity, pandemic disease, public health, genomics or environmental collapse, mineral exploitation, health and international scientific endeavours such as those in the space and the Antarctic? Providing a new area of academic focus that has only gathered momentum in the last few years, this book considers these questions by bringing together a distinguished team of international specialists to look at various facets of how diplomacy and science are influenced by each other. The book not only dissects the ways that politics, science and diplomacy have become intertwined, but also highlights how the world's seemingly most intractable problems can be tackled with international collaboration and diplomacy that is rooted in science, and driven by technology. It, therefore, challenges the conventional wisdom concerning the juxtaposition of science and the world of diplomacy.

Biblical Preaching for Today's World

By: Lloyd Perry

Biblical preaching has not outgrown its usefulness. The methods may vary, but the message remains the same. God's challenge and call to the preacher still come through loud and clear: 'Preach the Word.'" Lloyd M. Perry's Biblical Preaching for Today's World has been helping pastors and speakers preach the Word since 1973. Although the principles Perry originally established are timeless, the needs and concerns of audiences are always changing. To help pastors preach more effectively to today's congregations, Perry has updated his original manuscript. He offers pastors help in understanding and adjusting to the effects television has had on an audience's listening skills. Historical references throughout each chapter will also help preachers learn from yesterday's teachers and styles. Biblical Preaching for Today's World continues to offer sound, time-tested principles for preaching, regardless of the preacher's style. Filled with helpful suggestions, annotated outlines, and solid documentation, it is invaluable reading for all who aspire to preach the Word.

Penguins

By: Lloyd Spencer Davis,Martin Renner

This book looks at the penguins - an enduringly popular and fascinating group of birds. Penguins are associated in the public consciousness with the icecap of the south pole, and we are all familiar with images of male Emperor Penguins clustered together through the long night of the Antarctic winter as they incubate the single egg on their feet. However, several species occur in warmer regions further north, in southern Africa, South America, Australia, New Zealand and even the Galapagos. All are flightless but are beautifully adapted swimmers and divers, and many are able to travel at high speeds on dry land by means of spectacular leaps and belly-slides. Most species breed in close-knit colonies and exhibit a complex system of social behaviour. This book looks at all aspects of penguin evolution, biology, ecology and sociobiology, as well as conservation issues affecting the group. It is illustrated with line drawings and black and white photographs, and has a full-colour photographic section.
