Ian Wilson – författare

Two decades after radiocarbon dating declared the Turin Shroud a mediaeval fake, brand-new historical discoveries strongly suggest that this famous cloth, with its extraordinary photographic imprint, is genuinely Christ's shroud after all.In 1978 in his international bestseller The Turin Shroud Ian Wilson ignited worldwide public debate with his compelling case endorsing the shroud's authenticity. Now, 30 years later, he has completely rewritten and updated his earlier book to provide fresh evidence to support his original argument. Shroud boldly challenges the current post-radiocarbon dating view - that it is a fake. By arguing his case brilliantly and provocatively, Ian Wilson once more throws the matter into the public arena for further debate and controversy.

This book is designed to help both students and the general reader gain a practical understanding of the strategic marketing process, and how it can be applied to a variety of real-life organisational and national environments. As a case book it encourages readers to develop a 'strategic mindset' towards the development of marketing programmes. The cases are based upon primary information and many are complemented by financial data, thus allowing readers to become 'insiders' rather than observers. Cases are supported by sections on relevant theory and specific learning notes. Part one introduces and reviews relevant strategic marketing concepts and practices. Introductory chapters explore the strategy/marketing interface, the conventional strategic marketing process and some contemporary challenges to established practices. Part two gives readers the chance to apply strategic marketing principles to a variety of situations, and information is introduced to emphasise the urgency of the situation, whilst the reality of the fiancial data serves to constrain the submission of unrealistic marketing programmes. Strategic Marketing: Cases, Concepts and Challenges is essential reading for students and practitioners who wish to bridge strategic marketing theory and practice in the wider organisational context. The text is suitable for students of marketing and strategy at undergraduate, professional and masters levels.

The book addresses the question of how postmonarchic society in ancient Judah remembered and imagined its monarchy, and kingship in general, as part of its past, present, and future. How did Judeans of the early Second Temple period conceive of the monarchy? By way of a thorough analysis of Judean discourse in this era, Kingship and Memory in Ancient Judah argues that ancient Judeans had no single way of remembering and imagining kingship. In fact, their memory and imaginary was thoroughly multivocal, and necessarily so. Judean historiographical literature evinces a mindset that was unsure of the monarchic past and how to understand it-multiple viewpoints were embraced and brought into conversation with one another. Similarly, prophetic literature, which drew on the discursive themes of the remembered past, envisions a variety of outcomes for kingship's future. Historiographical and prophetic literature thus existed in a kind of feedback loop, enabling, informing, and balancing each other's various understandings of kingship as part of Judean society and life. Through its investigation of kingship in Judean discourse, this monograph contributes to our knowledge of literature and literary culture in ancient Judah and also makes a significant contribution to questions of history and historiographical method in biblical studies.

"Murder at Golgotha" approaches Jesus' crucifixion from the perspective of a crime scene investigator: What do we know is fact? What can be historically documented? What can we deduce may have happened? Taking the popular CSI television dramas as inspiration, "Murder at Golgotha" is a direct reaction to Mel Gibson's much-talked-about movie "The Passion of the Christ." Ian Wilson systematically outlines what is known for sure about Jesus' trial and crucifixion, as well as where art and the movies have gone astray. His investigatory methods include eyewitness testimony (that of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), archaeology, and medical and forensic findings, which systematically describe the most famous murder in history.

A soldier on the run climbs into Raina’s bedroom. She shelters him, but then discovers that, unlike the heroic officer to whom she is engaged, he despises war and carries not ammunition, but chocolate. When the ‘chocolate cream soldier’ reappears after the war, the consequences for Raina and her family are unexpected and amusing.

 

Articulatory Phonetics presents a concise and non-technical introduction to the physiological processes involved in producing sounds in human speech. Traces the path of the speech production system through to the point where simple vocal sounds are produced, covering the nervous system, and muscles, respiration, and phonation Introduces more complex anatomical concepts of articulatory phonetics and particular sounds of human speech, including brain anatomy and coarticulation Explores the most current methodologies, measurement tools, and theories in the field Features chapter-by-chapter exercises and a series of original illustrations which take the mystery out of the anatomy, physiology, and measurement techniques relevant to speech research Includes a companion website at www.wiley.com/go/articulatoryphonetics with additional exercises for each chapter and new, easy-to-understand images of the vocal tract and of measurement tools/data for articulatory phonetics teaching and research Password protected instructor’s material includes an answer key for the additional exercises

Provides a Clear, Engaging Introduction to the Physical Mechanisms of Human Speech Production The second edition of Articulatory Phonetics offers a fresh, expanded exploration of how the human body produces the sounds of speech. With dozens of new and updated illustrations, revised exercises, and the addition of an entirely new chapter on sensory systems, this edition reflects the latest scientific and theoretical advances in the study of speech production. Authors Bryan Gick, Donald Derrick, and Ian Wilson integrate recent discoveries on motor modularization, speech posture, and multimodal perception, providing readers with an up-to-date and engaging overview of the biomechanics of speaking. Maintaining the hallmark clarity of the first edition, Articulatory Phonetics continues to serve as a concise, non-technical introduction to the anatomy and physiology of speech—offering fresh insights into how sensory feedback guides articulatory movement. New original illustrations and accessible discussions demystify the complex interactions between the brain, muscles, and airflow that enable speech. Supported by online MRI-based visualizations and new downloadable exercises, this edition equips students and researchers to engage confidently with current approaches and experimental methods in articulatory phonetics. Setting a new standard for learning how bodily motion is transformed into the sounds of language, Articulatory Phonetics: Integrates the latest theoretical perspectives and experimental findings from linguistics, neuroscience, and speech scienceOffers an intuitive progression from neural control to complex articulation, emphasizing the physical foundations of speechHighlights related topics that connect articulatory phonetics to broader research themesAddresses new research on sensory systems and their vital role in guiding speech movementsDesigned as both a standalone introduction and a companion to Keith Johnson’s Acoustic and Auditory PhoneticsArticulatory Phonetics, Second Edition, is ideal for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in linguistics, speech science, and communication disorders. It is well-suited for courses such as Articulatory Phonetics, Speech Anatomy and Physiology, or Introduction to Phonetics within degree programs in linguistics, cognitive science, and speech-language pathology.
