The essential introduction or reconnection to the Bible for queer readers from the co-founders of QueerTheology.com.“As we dove back into the story of creation in Genesis 1 and 2, trying to look at it with fresh eyes, I realized I had visited the Garden of Eden before. It was as if, like Saul, the scales had fallen off my eyes and suddenly I could see what had been there all along. The Bible has always been queer.”When Brian Murphy and Shannon L. Kearns created Queer Theology, the longest-running LGBTQ+ Christian podcast and the community QueerTheology.com, they defined a new genre in talking about LGBTQ+ identity and faith that has now reached more than 3 million people in over 200 countries. Reading the Bible through Queer Eyes is the resource they wish they had as they reconciled their faith with their identities. It looks for queerness in sacred Scripture not for the sake of representation, but with an eye toward liberation for all marginalized people.These readings make familiar Bible stories come to new life, offering powerful and liberatory insights that will change the way readers engage their bodies, their sexuality, and the world in their faith. A few examples of the inspiring multitudes contained in this book: discovering a new gay Garden of Eden in a suburban park;a connection between Palm Sunday and ACT-UP AIDS activism;queer bodies offered as living sacrifices and holy worship through activism, sex, and community care;understanding divine covenant through a lens of kink;and the story of Doubting Thomas as a reminder of the sacredness of transgender scars.With more and more people questioning binaries and boundaries, and searching for answers, Reading the Bible through Queer Eyes provides companionship and encourages you to live out your faith in public and transform yourself and the world.

An in-depth analysis of machine vibration in rotating machinery Whether it's a compressor on an offshore platform, a turbocharger in a truck or automobile, or a turbine in a jet airplane, rotating machinery is the driving force behind almost anything that produces or uses energy. Counted on daily to perform any number of vital societal tasks, turbomachinery uses high rotational speeds to produce amazing amounts of power efficiently. The key to increasing its longevity, efficiency, and reliability lies in the examination of rotor vibration and bearing dynamics, a field called rotordynamics.A valuable textbook for beginners as well as a handy reference for experts, Machinery Vibration and Rotordynamics is teeming with rich technical detail and real-world examples geared toward the study of machine vibration. A logical progression of information covers essential fundamentals, in-depth case studies, and the latest analytical tools used for predicting and preventing damage in rotating machinery. Machinery Vibration and Rotordynamics: Combines rotordynamics with the applications of machinery vibration in a single volume Includes case studies of vibration problems in several different types of machines as well as computer simulation models used in industry Contains fundamental physical phenomena, mathematical and computational aspects, practical hardware considerations, troubleshooting, and instrumentation and measurement techniques For students interested in entering this highly specialized field of study, as well as professionals seeking to expand their knowledge base, Machinery Vibration and Rotordynamics will serve as the one book they will come to rely upon consistently.

Comprehensive reference on diagnostic oral pathology in animals with clinical correlates Veterinary Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, Second Edition is a comprehensive reference to diagnostic pathology in the oral and maxillofacial region in animals, focusing on information most useful for diagnosis and patient management in clinical practice. The book features high-quality images, including clinical photographs, radiographs and other imaging modalities, gross pathology, histopathology, special stains, immunohistology, ultrastructure, molecular diagnostics, and numerous diagrams. The work focuses on dogs, cats and horses but also offers comparative information for rodent, ruminant, reptile, and exotic patients. The Second Edition adds new chapters focused on oral medicine of small animals and oral and maxillofacial disease of horses, with expanded and improved images and updates throughout. A companion website presents video clips of narrated scanned slides. This edition features multiple authors who are subject matter specialists in oral medicine, viral disease, dermatopathology, and equine dentistry. Veterinary Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology covers all aspects of oral pathology, including: Odontogenesis and histological features of normal oral tissues, including oral mucosa, tonsils, lips, teeth, incisive papilla and ducts, salivary glands and jaw bonesDiagnostic utility of differential diagnoses, the considerable ambiguity and morphologic overlap of some oral lesions, and the ever-evolving state of lesion classificationTaxonomic controversies, with pros and cons of different viewpoints to allow readers to make their own decisionsVeterinary Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology is a one-of-a-kind reference for veterinary pathologists, veterinary dentists, resident trainees, interns, students, and veterinary practitioners.
