Out of This World: Colliding Universes, Branes, Strings, and Other Wild Ideas of Modern Physics
ISBN: 9780387029306 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book is an attempt to share some of the fascinating and exciting ideas of modern theoretical physics with a non-mathematical audience. I also hope to give some appreciation of the exceptionally creative people who have generated these ideas. I had no intention of writing a comprehen- sive history of these ideas, however; I apologize to those physicists whose important contributions I may have omitted. Several people have contributed directly to the writing of this book, and I would like to take this chance to thank them. Clive Horwood of Praxis Publishing and Paul Farrell of Copernicus...

On God and Dogs: A Christian Theology of Compassion for Animals
ISBN: 9780195152296 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Many of us keep pet animals; we rely on them for companionship and unconditional love. For some people their closest relationships may be with their pets. In the wake of the animal rights movement, some ethicists have started to re-examine this relationship, and to question the rights of humans to "own" other sentient beings in this way. In this engaging and thought-provoking book, Stephen Webb brings a Christian perspective to bear on the subject of our responsibility to animals, looked at through the lens of our relations with pets--especially dogs. Webb argues that the emotional bond...

New Eyes on the Universe Twelve Cosmic Mysteries and the Tools We Need to Solve Them gives an up-to-date broad overview of some of the key issues in modern astronomy and cosmology.

Mormon Christianity: What Other Christians Can Learn from the Latter-Day Saints
ISBN: 9780199316816 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Mormons are adamant that they are Christian, and eloquent writers within their own faith have tried to make this case, but no theologian outside the LDS church has ever tried to demonstrate just how Christian they are. Stephen H. Webb's Mormon Christianity: What Other Christians Can Learn from the Latter-day Saints fills this void, as the author writes neither as a critic nor a defender of Mormonism but as a sympathetic observer who is deeply committed to engaging with Mormon ideas. Webb is unique in taking Mormon theology seriously by showing how it provides plausible...

Catholic and Mormon
ISBN: 9780190265922 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What could Roman Catholicism and Mormonism possibly have to learn from each other? On the surface, they seem to diverge on nearly every point, from their liturgical forms to their understanding of history. With its ancient roots, Catholicism is a continuous tradition, committed to the conservation of the creeds, while Mormonism teaches that the landscape of Christian history is riddled with errors and apostasy and in need of radical revision and spiritual healing. Additionally, successful proselyting efforts by Mormons in formerly Catholic strongholds have increased opportunities for...

American Providence: A Nation with a Mission
ISBN: 9780826416230 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 181 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The relationship between America and Christianity has never been so hotly contested as it is today. September 11, 2001 and the war on terror have had an almost schismatic impact on the Church. American Christians have been forced to ask the really hard questions about faith and politics. While some Christians would rather not ask these questions at all, they are unavoidable for a religion that seeks to speak to the whole world, with the expectation of nothing less than global transformation. Like it or not, Christians have to take a stand on the issue of America's alleged imperialism, not...

The Gifting God: A Trinitarian Ethics of Excess
ISBN: 9780195102550 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Theories of generosity, or gift giving, are becoming increasingly important in recent work in philosophy and religion. Stephen Webb seeks to build on this renewed interest by surveying a distinctively modern and postmodern approach to the issue of generosity, and then developing a theological framework for it. He contends that in many ways society has become suspicious of charity and generosity. This cynicism has led to quick and easy judgments, that, in turn, have led to a new orthodoxy with its own troubling consequences. Webb believes that we need to recover the generosity that our culture...

All the Wonder That Would Be: Exploring Past Notions of the Future
ISBN: 9783319517582 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. It has been argued that science fiction (SF) gives a kind of weather forecast - not the telling of a fortune but rather the rough feeling of what the future might be like. The intention in this book is to consider some of these bygone forecasts made by SF and to use this as a prism through which to view current developments in science and technology. In each of the ten main chapters - dealing in turn with antigravity, space travel, aliens, time travel, the nature of reality, invisibility, robots, means of transportation, augmentation of the human body, and, last but not least, mad...

The Divine Voice
ISBN: 9781610977579 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Endorsements:
"Webb offers a carefully and creatively wrought phenomenology of sound, showing its relation to the proclamation of Gods Word. His keen insights on the primordial nature of sound, speech, and hearing will force theologians to examine, once again, what it means to be a hearer of the Word. Webb masterfully displays the intrinsic relationship between dynamic listening and speech--how intent hearing and confident proclamation are intimately conjoined. He has the rare gift of combining acute theological insight with a mellifluous, readable style. The nature of Gods own Word here... Endorsements:

Measuring the Universe: The Cosmological Distance Ladder
ISBN: 9781852331061 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. A unified treatment of the various techniques used for distance determination. The text begins by describing methods to measure distances on Earth, then gradually climbs the "distance ladder" to enable us to estimate the distance to the farthest objects, ending with a discussion of particle horizons within an expanding and inflationary universe. Aimed at first-year astronomy and astrophysics undergraduates, the book emphasises general physical principles rather than mathematical detail, and is enhanced and complemented by many worked examples, questions and problem-solving exercises at the...
