An awe-inspiring and panoramic investigation into the hidden world of the deep sea - a mysterious, unforgiving landscape whose secrets radically revise our understanding of life on earth.The deep sea is one of humanitys last frontiers. For most of our history it has been a remote realm shrouded in obscurity. But here, where the light cannot reach, lies a strange, wonderful and breathtaking portal into Earths past, teeming with scientific marvels and lessons for the future of life on this planet.In The Dark Frontier, marine microbiologist and deep-sea explorer Jeffrey Marlow plunges us into the oceans depths and invites us to witness close-up encounters with its hidden brilliance. Translucent shrimp dance through sulphureous vents, crabs stretch twelve feet from claw to claw and the eerie chalk-white towers of the Lost City loom. Back on land, diplomats and conservationists negotiate the management of the vast open ocean, as human forces threaten ancient underwater ecosystems. Immersive and illuminating, Marlows journeys heed warnings too: we are irrevocably changing the deep sea before we have even had a chance to understand it.This expansive book offers crucial and surprising insights into the twinned forces of exploration and exploitation in the deep sea. It shows how life can thrive in even the most extreme conditions, and how new ways of engaging with the oceans depths are revealing critical links between the deep sea and life on land. The Dark Frontier expands our understanding of biological possibilities - and our responsibilities - on Earth and beyond.

In this bold and intimate semi-autobiographical novel, La Maison, Emma Becker transports the reader behind the closed doors of a Berlin brothel, where she worked for two years not only to earn a living, but to immerse herself in a world she wanted to understand and to write about with unflinching honesty. What emerges is a deeply personal, unsentimental, and often surprising account of life inside the brothel, where Becker explores not just the physical aspects of sex work, but the emotional, psychological, and social complexities that shape it.With frankness and literary insight, she recounts her encounters with clients, her growing self-awareness, and, most poignantly, the friendships and solidarity she finds among the other women who work there. Far from reducing sex work to cliche or voyeurism, Becker gives space to the quiet routines, shared laughter, private pain, and hard-won dignity of a profession often misunderstood and rarely written about from the inside.Part memoir, part sociological study, and wholly literary, La Maison challenges preconceptions about sex, agency, and femininity, offering a provocative and compassionate exploration of what it means to inhabit multiple identitiesas worker, writer, woman, and witness.

Even in this predominantly secular age, Britains cathedrals remain potent symbols of religious continuity. Their purpose was to reveal Gods majesty, to declare the supremacy of the Church and the devotion of the men who built them. They were intended, literally, to be awesome. Similarly, our medieval abbeys, most of them sad remnants of a glorious past, serve to remind us of the dedication of those who aspired to the monastic ideal. No two cathedrals or abbeys are alike in their conception, location, construction or history, and it is this that gives them their limitless appeal.This comprehensive volume contains over 1,450 entries arranged alphabetically, together with lists of useful addresses and further reading, and is richly illustrated with colour and black and white photographs, plans and drawings. A wealth of subjects including architecture, liturgy, history and monasticism are covered in detail and assist in placing research in a wider historical context.

Building on the premise that landscapes provide a common ground where different kinds of knowledge may come together, this edited volume draws on a wide range of disciplines, including geology and geography, cultural anthropology and philosophy, architecture and art history. It suggests that the complex social and environmental crises of the 21st century cannot be understood independently of a historically constituted aesthetic approach to landscapes.Boulouki is a collective that deals with the traditional knowledge of building. Under the Landscape (Santorini and Therasia, 2021 2022), one of the collectives most important projects, comprised a participatory restoration, research into local materials, an exhibition and a symposium, and is the basis and starting point of this publication.

A Groundbreaking Analysis of Dallas Willards Theology of Spiritual Formation Dallas Willards formational theology begins with the claim that the aim of God in human history is the formation of a community of loving persons apprenticed to Jesusand ends with the promise that such apprenticeship prepares us to share in Gods governance of the cosmos.This apprenticeship to Jesus is the path to human flourishing, the renewal of the church, and the healing of the world. In Kingdom Apprenticeship, Keas Keasler offers the first comprehensive study of Willards theology of spiritual formation. He argues that while the three Ds of disciples, discipleship, and disciplines made Willard famous, his formational theology is much deeper than that. Willards unique grammar of transformation is grounded in ordinary life, for it is in our present reality that we are trained to participate in Gods eternal purposes.Mining Willards philosophical works, theological writings, recorded lectures, and unpublished papers, Keasler shows: Willards theology serves as a practical curriculum for spiritual growth, offering a remedy for the character crisis we see in the church and in society. Apprenticeship to Jesus is both for growth in Christlikeness and preparation for reigning with God in the fullness of his kingdom. Spiritual formation is not secondary or supplementary to Gods mission; it is its very strategy. Against the drift of modern theology into abstraction, Willard calls the church back to a clinical theologyone aimed at the transformation of character through an interactive life with God. Formation and mission, contemplation and action, inner renewal and outward vocationall are inseparably linked in Willards vision.Kingdom Apprenticeship offers a fresh and urgent call: to recover apprenticeship to Jesus as the heart of the Christian lifeand the hope of the world.

Finding Gods Grace Through Lament "I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and he will hear me."Psalm 77:1 What do we do with our pain? So much in our world is simply not right: Disease. Death. Destruction. But we dont have to look to the news to know that things arent okay. Our neighborhoods, our churches, and even our families ache with the everyday troubles of this life. Whether our response is rage or tears or numbness, the Bible offers an avenue for our pain: lament.In Crying Out to God, Wendy Alsup uses psalms of lament to give words to our often-wordless cries.

Trace Gods Plan of Redemption Through the Old Testament Do you find the Old Testament historical books challenging or confusing? Have you ever struggled to get through these sections of Gods Word or wondered why they matter for us today?

As readers dive deeper, theyll gain a richer understanding of the gospel and see its vibrant connections throughout Scripture.

Vaillancourt guides readers through the Old Testaments historical books with a clear and intentional approach, revealing how every part of the story leads to Jesus. Unfolding Redemption is an excellent introductory textbook, and is ideal for pastors or Bible teachers as well as groups looking to study the Bible more deeply. With discussion questions for reflection, Unfolding Redemption equips Christians to dig deeply into these texts, see their themes woven together, and understand what they mean for our lives today.
