The Drama of a Rural Community’s Life Cycle

Its Prehistory, Birth, Growth, Maturity, Decline, and Rebirth

By: S. Roy Kaufman

Rural communities depend on the health of the agrarian cultures that compose them. These cultures grow out of the symbiotic relationship between a particular landscape and the human community that lives on and uses the land. Agrarian cultures had their origin in the development of agriculture and gave birth to the civilizations and empires of history. Based on the exercise of hierarchical power characteristic of their nature, empires and civilizations are always a threat to the welfare of their agrarian cultures, that by nature tend to be local, relational, reciprocal, and ecological. This is the story of the three Anabaptist agrarian cultures--Swiss German, Low German, and Hutterian--of the Freeman, South Dakota, rural community, and their sojourn within the empires of civilization through the centuries. More specifically, this is the story of their birth, growth, maturation, and death (or rebirth?) in the particular landscape of the Great Plains to which they came from Russia in the 1870s. Here we see the agrarian cultures' struggle to adapt to the new environment of the Great Plains and to maintain their unique identity while living within American society. This is the drama of a rural community's life cycle!

Healing God's Earth

Rural Community in the Context of Urban Civilization

By: S. Roy Kaufman

Rural communities and traditional cultures throughout North America and around the world are being systematically dismantled by the forces of urban civilization. It is no new phenomenon. For over four millennia, the powers of urban civilization have been playing God, oppressing people, and exploiting the earth. This long history has brought us to the brink of disaster in the current economic, ecological, and energy crises confronting the dominant global culture.This book reads the Bible through the lenses of rural communities. The Bible has something to say about the origin and character of urban civilization and the dynamic of its relationship to rural communities. Both Israel in the Old Testament and Jesus in the New Testament were engaged in the formation of rural communities of faith living as alternatives to the dominant cultures of the urban civilizations in which they lived.It turns out that local, face-to-face communities, both rural and urban, along with traditional cultures of all stripes, are God's chosen instruments for the subversive, nonviolent disarming of urban civilization and the healing of God's earth.

Unfavorable Reality

By: Roy S. Smith

The Book of Daniel is the chronicle of a not-too-distant future world irreversibly altered by scientific experimentation in gender manipulation and cloning. The story unfolds through the eyes of Emmit Payne, a young man who is systematically and methodically influenced by the mysterious and charismatic Daniel. Promised gifts beyond his young imagination, Emmit is drawn deeper and deeper into Daniel's bizarre world. Daniel, a beautiful and enigmatic youth, mysteriously appears in Emmit's small western town one day, and people are irresistibly drawn to the fascinating stranger. Over time, Daniel brings Emmit to his eccentric home deep within the forest and reveals a family history that has changed the world and altered the future of humankind. A genius in bioengineering, Daniel's father headed Project Rewind, a classified government project aimed at correcting the horrors engendered by experimental cloning. When the scientist realized he had been creating clones for a very different purpose, he turned against the project and devised a plan of his own. And his plan would involve the resurrection of some of the greatest minds, famous beauties and terrifying warriors in world history. Daniel's most loyal companion, Emmit becomes a key factor in putting the international plot in motion. But he soon realizes he hasn't been told the whole story and that he stands to lose all the gifts he has gained, including his beloved wife, a future-world Marilyn Monroe. The Book of Daniel is a classic tale of love, adventure and betrayal taken to a new millennium.

Statistical Geometry and Applications to Microphysics and Cosmology

By: S. Roy

Recent results from high-energy scattering and theoretical developments of string theory require a change in our understanding of the basic structure of space-time. This book is about the advancement of ideas on the stochastic nature of space-time from the 1930s onward. In particular, the author promotes the concept of space as a set of hazy lumps, first introduced by Karl Menger, and constructs a novel framework for statistical behaviour at the microlevel. The various chapters address topics such as space-time fluctuation and random potential, non-local fields, and the origin of stochasticity. Implications in astro-particle physics and cosmology are also explored. Audience: This volume will be of interest to physicists, chemists and mathematicians involved in particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology.

Chemical Sensing with Solid State Devices

By: Marc J. Madou,S. Roy Morrison

This book is a lucid presentation for chemists, electrical engineers, surface scientists, and solid-state physicists, of the fundamentals underlying the construction of simple and small chemical sensors. The first part of the book is a review of the theoretical background in solid state physics, chemistry and electronics. Semiconductor and solid electrolyte bulk models are reviewed as well as solid/gas and solid/liquid interface models. Membranes and catalysis theory are also covered expansively. The second part is a discussion of more complete sensor devices, their essential components, and of the important developments in this area over the last fifteen to twenty years. The book provides guidance through the multidisciplinary world of chemical sensors. It should be understandable to students with some training in physics and chemistry and a general knowledge of electronics. Finally, comments on economic considerations in the development of new sensor products and suggestionsfor future research and development should be of value to company R&D planners.

The Long March Home

A Novel

By: Zoë S. Roy

The Long Road Home is the story of three generations of women, beginning with a grandmother who as a young woman went to China as a Canadian missionary nurse and fell in love with a Chinese medical student acting as her interpreter. Shortly after anti-western sentiment sends her home to Nova Scotia, she discovers she is pregnant. Attempts by her, and later their daughter, to contact him fail. Her daughter, Meihua, goes to China to look for her father and winds up marrying a Chinese man and teaching art. The cultural revolution sees her sent to prison as a American spy and anti-revolutionary, and her husband confined to a gulag. Their children, still at home, are raised by the family's illiterate servant, Yao. Yao's crude manner and resourcefulness partly shield Yezi, Meihua's daughter, and the novel's main character, as well as her brother, from family tragedy, poverty and political discrimination, negotiating their survival during the revolution that she barely understands. Only after her mother is released, does Yezi learns about her foreign grandmother, Agnes, who now lives in Boston and has lost contact with the family since Yezi's birth. Curious about her American ancestry, Yezi decides to join her grandmother in the U.S. Reading her grandmother's diaries helps Yezi get to know her grandmother as a young Canadian missionary and her life in China with the man who is her grandfather, and who her mother still longs to find."--Pub. desc.
