Research on following Jesus has mostly been done in terms of what Jesus followers ought to do. In this unprecedented study, Kim presents following Jesus in Johns Gospel through the perspective of what Jesus does for his followers. Following Jesus is a journey towards the place where Jesus leads his followers, that is, to a relationship with the Father. It is ultimately participating in the Sons communion with the Father. Jesus, who was in the bosom of the Father, descended from him and ascends to him, taking his followers with him, so that they may be with him where he is with the Father in glory and love. Kim develops this thesis by examining the term akolouthein (to follow) and correlated motifs in Johns Gospel. **

In The Prestige of Violence Sally Bachner argues that, starting in the 1960s, American fiction laid claim to the status of serious literature by placing violence at the heart of its mission and then insisting that this violence could not be represented.Bachner demonstrates how many of the most influential novels of this period are united by the dramatic opposition they draw between a debased and untrustworthy conventional language, on the one hand, and a violence that appears to be prelinguistic and unquestionable, on the other. Genocide, terrorism, war, torture, slavery, rape, and murder are major themes, yet the writers insist that such events are unspeakable. Bachner takes issue with the claim made within trauma studies that history is the site of violent trauma inaccessible to ordinary representation. Instead, she argues, both trauma studies and the fiction to which it responds institutionalize an inability to address violence.Examining such works as Vladimir Nabokovs Pale Fire, Thomas Pynchons The Crying of Lot 49, Norman Mailers Armies of the Night, Margaret Atwoods Surfacing, and Philip Roths The Plot Against America, Bachner locates the postwar prestige of violence in the disjunction between the privileged security of wealthier Americans and the violence perpetrated by the United States abroad. The literary investment in unspeakable and often immaterial violence emerges in Bachners readings as a complex and ideologically varied literary solution to the political geography of violence in our time.**

This practical guide provides more than 150 recipes to help you generate high-quality graphs quickly, without having to comb through all the details of Rs graphing systems. Each recipe tackles a specific problem with a solution you can apply to your own project, and includes a discussion of how and why the recipe works. Most of the recipes use the ggplot2 package, a powerful and flexible way to make graphs in R. If you have a basic understanding of the R language, youre ready to get started. ul lUse Rs default graphics for quick exploration of datal lCreate a variety of bar graphs, line graphs, and scatter plotsl lSummarize data distributions with histograms, density curves, box plots, and other examplesl lProvide annotations to help viewers interpret datal lControl the overall appearance of graphicsl lRender data groups alongside each other for easy comparisonl lUse colors in plotsl lCreate network graphs, heat maps, and 3D scatter plotsl lStructure data for graphingl ul **Amazon.com Review h4Q&A with Winston Chang, author of R Graphics Cookbook Practical Recipes for Visualizing Datah4 Q. Why is your book timely? A. Interest in R for data analysis and visualization has exploded in recent years. In the computer-tech world, computers and networks have made it much easier to gather and organize data, and more and more people have recognized that theres useful information to be found. To illustrate, consider the job data scientist this is a job title that didnt even exist five years ago, and now its one of the hottest tickets on the market. At the same time, theres been a swell of interest in R in its more traditional setting, in science and engineering. I think there are many reasons for this. One, is that theres a growing recognition outside of the computer-programmer world that learning a little programming can save you a lot of time and reduce errors. Another reason is that the last few years have seen an improvement in the user-friendliness of tools for using R. So theres a lot of interest in using R for finding information in data, and visualization an essential tool for doing this. Data visualizations can help you understand your data and find patterns when youre in the exploratory phase of data analysis, and they are essential for communicating your findings to others. Q. What information do you hope that readers of your book will walk away with? A. As my book is a Cookbook, the primary goal is to efficiently present solutions for visualizing data, without demanding a large investment of time from the reader. For many readers, the goal is to just figure out how to make a particular type of graph and be done with it. There are others who will want to gain a deeper understanding of how graphing works in R. For these readers, Ive written an appendix on the graphing package ggplot2, which is used extensively in the recipes in the book. This appendix explains some of the concepts in the grammar of graphics, and how they relate to structures common to data visualizations in general. Finally, I hope that readers will find ideas and inspiration for visualizing their data by browsing the pages and looking at the pictures. Q. Whats the most excitingimportant thing happening in your space? A. Im excited that R is becoming more and more accessible to users who dont primarily identify as programmers. Many scientists, engineers, and data analysts have outgrown programs that provide canned data analysis routines, and theyre turning increasingly to R. The growing popularity of R is part of a virtuous circle as R gains a larger user base, it encourages people to create better educational materials and programming tools for R, which in turn helps to grow the number of R users. Technology-wise, Im excited by Shiny, which is a framework for bringing R analyses to the web. (I should mention that this its part of my job to work on the development of Shiny.) This makes it possible to build interactive applications for data analysis and visualization for users who dont need to know R, or even that the application is backed by R.

Parody was a crucial technique for the satirists and novelists associated with the Scriblerus Club. The great eighteenth-century wits (Alexander Pope, John Gay, Henry Fielding, Laurence Sterne) often explored the limits of the ugly, the droll, the grotesque and the insane by mocking, distorting and deconstructing multiple discourses, genres, modes and methods of representation. This book traces the continuity and difference in parodic textuality from Pope to Sterne. It focuses on polyphony, intertextuality and deconstruction in parodic genres and examines the uses of parody in such texts as The Beggars Opera, The Dunciad, Joseph Andrews and Tristram Shandy. The book demonstrates how parody helped the modern novel to emerge as a critical and artistically self-conscious form. **

This volume investigates the reasons why Plotinus, a philosopher inspired by Plato, made critical use of Epicurean philosophy. Eminent scholars show that some fundamental Epicurean conceptions pertaining to ethics, physics, epistemology and theology are drawn upon in the Enneads to discuss crucial notions such as pleasure and happiness, providence and fate, matter and the role of sense perception, intuition and intellectual evidence in relation to the process of knowledge acquisition. By focusing on the meaning of these terms in Epicureanism, Plotinus deploys sophisticated methods of comparative analysis and argumentative procedures that ultimately lead him to approach certain aspects of Epicurus philosophy as a benchmark for his own theories and to accept, reject or discredit the positions of authors of his own day. At the same time, these discussions reveal what aspects of Epicurean philosophy were still perceived to be of vital relevance in the third century AD. **

Hawaii is one of the most ethnically and racially diverse places in the world due to its central location in the Pacific. Situated at the crossroads of different cultures, Honolulu has a style all of its own. Honolulu Street Style captures this unique approach as it demonstrates how global trends are transformed by stylish Honolulu denizens to give them a unique, local look. Divided into chapters on hair, hats, accessories, and beachwear, the book features the styles of people encountered on the street and in many different neighborhoods, with an essay on the history and clothing of Hawaii as a whole. The neighborhood fashion explored includes that of iconicWaikikiwhich conjures images most people associate with Hawaii, yet the mass-produced tourist clothing belies a deeper fashion culture hidden in local enclaves and local boutiques that foster an upscale, casual style. Chinatown is a neighborhood of dramatic color and exotic touches, and hosts First Friday events that transform the neighborhood into a crowded hub of artistic, musical, and retail activity. As the photos show, the Kakaako neighborhood draws a crowd that is hip, traveled, and not afraid to venture off the beaten path. In contrast, the Manoavalley, home to the flagship campus of the University of Hawaii, presents itself as an eclectic mix of students and professionals dressed in everything from boho chic to surfer, skater, avant-garde, and casual professional style. A highly visual book with full-color street style photography, Honolulu Street Style will be a landmark publication in the study of place and style. **

This novel is a tale of exile and passage. The narrator is a North African, now living in the United States because he has been condemned by religious fanatics after the publication of his novel entitled Dead Letters. He is disillusioned with literature, and his life events are beyond his control. He can only write, and he fabricates material from trends imposed on him by the American academy.Reda Bensmaias knowledge of the history, the literature, and the philosophical ideas of our times underlies the novel. He offers, among other things, an important reflection on U.S. political culture, touching on issues ranging from foreign policy in the Middle East to the medias role in alternately demonizing Muslim cultures and fostering ignorance of them.
