This anthology collects, substaniates, and demonstrates the importance of the religious imagination within Western modern and contemporary architecture.The essays written expressly for the anthology take a critical look at the relationship between religion and architecture in the twentieth century, as well as giving a brief look at the pre-history of the modern movement and its relationship to religion and architecture. These are grounded by and help to explicate the reprinted essays that are culled from the last one hundred years. This is an important introduction to the religious imagination in architectural thought of the last one hundred years, and to the interdisciplinary discourse that examines how different disciplines express abstract concepts such as faith, spirit, God and knowledge. It makes essential reading for any architect, aspiring or practising, delving deeper into the meaning of architectural practice.

Coal provides almost 40% of the world''s electricity, and despite the understandable concern with respect to the environmental impact associated with coal use, forecasts from the International Energy Agency predict, that worldwide coal use will increase by up to 2% per annum until the year 2OlO. Faced with this increase, it is clearly important that the most efficient and environmentally acceptable clean coal technologies are available. This book is comprised of the proceedings of the Engineering Foundation Conference held in June 1993 in England. The objective of the conference was to present ideas on methods of predicting and reducing the effects of ash deposition in coal conversion systems, highlighting the problems experienced in industry, considering both utilities and industrial plants, and providing a view of the technology of coal ash deposition and its impact. Better techniques are needed to reduce the impact of ash deposition in coal fired plants, and these proceedings should form a reference document for anyone either experiencing slagging or actively engaged in trying to understand or eliminate the phenomenon.

Thirty percent of American adults are obese. Thirty percent more are overweight but not yet obese. These basic statistics point out the grave danger responsible for thousands of debilitating diseases and premature deaths, a danger that threatens to financially bankrupt our national health care system. Christians, who as the light of the world lead by example, are active participants in the unhealthy life choices contributing to this present crisis. In Healthy Vessels, author and devout believer Jim Williamson, who has been a health practitioner for over thirty years, offers guidance to the secular world and Christians alike for exercising self-control and responsibility and for making smart, healthy lifestyle choices.Healthy Vessels begins by exploring the obesity crisisthe underlying habits causing it, its dangers, and what it means for the future; then Williamson melds scriptural advice on healthy habits with his experience and research in nutrition and exercise. The result is a roadmap for those of us struggling with preventable health problems to understand more about our bodies and how to make them healthy vessels.Drugs and surgery will not fix the problems facing America today. The battle for our health and happiness is a struggle against outside influences and personal impulses. Through applying a little discipline and striving for healthy habits, we can overcome these challenges and truly honor our creator.
