After playing over 170 links golf courses, David Oliver has written Golfing by the Sea, which provides substantial reviews of those courses that represent, in his opinion, the best 100 links golf courses in Great Britain and Ireland (“GB&I”). Included within the list are iconic courses such as the Old Course at St Andrews, North Berwick Golf Club and Prestwick Golf Club, together with classic courses comprising Ballybunion Golf Club, Brora Golf Club, Carne Golf Links, Cruden Bay Golf Club, Portmarnock Golf Club, Royal Dornoch, Rye Golf Club, and Waterville Golf Links. In addition to the courses that have hosted the Open Championship, modern links such as Cabot Highlands – Castle Stuart Golf Links, Dumbarnie Links, Kingsbarns Golf Links, Machrihanish Dunes, The Carnegie Club - Skibo Castle, St Patricks Links, The European Club and Trump International Golf Links (Trump Aberdeen) are analysed and evaluated. Golfing by the Sea, published by Troubador, provides an insight into some of the best and certainly most dramatic golf courses in GB&I. The book is written by an unabashed links lover who believes that the congress of sea and duneland, places links golf in an elevated echelon.

In The Pauline Letters: A Rhetorical Analysis, David Oliver Smith unveils his revolutionary discovery that the apostle Paul divided his letters into structured literary units as he wrote them. These literary units are based upon repeated words, phrases, and abstract concepts and are invariably patterned into chiastic, parallel, or hybrid structures. Using his technique of rhetorical analysis, Smith sets out each literary unit in the seven undisputed letters of Paul. After the structures of the literary units have been exposed, the units reveal interpolations that disrupt Paul's original structure. When the interpolations revealed by this technique are compared with interpolations heretofore proposed by Pauline scholars, there are some surprising results. Smith also uses his technique to analyze the Deutero-Pauline letters to determine whether any of those letters exhibit the same literary attributes as the undisputed letters.

Vor jeder Planung und Errichtung einer verfahrenstechnischen Anlage muss die Wirtschaftlichkeit hinsichtlich der Investitions- und Produktionskosten betrachtet werden. Dabei besitzt die Qualität der oft unter Zeitdruck und mit geringer Planungstiefe erstellten Projektkalkulation einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf den wirtschaftlichen Erfolg der neuen Anlage und erfordert eine geeignete Schätzmethode, mit der die Kosten möglichst genau ermittelt werden können. Das vorliegende essential gibt einen Überblick über die wesentlichen Phasen im chemischen Anlagenbau, stellt geeignete Methoden zur Schätzung des Anlagenumfangs vor und diskutiert die Vor- und Nachteile.

What happens when we die? What does heaven look like? What will occupy us there?

This is the first of two volumes dedicated to palliative care for patients with non-cancer diseases, to help health professionals, students and society in general, to find strategies to provide better care to these patients. Were invited professionals and researchers of recognized international merit, who have collaborated with the Universidade Católica Portuguesa in the training in palliative care of our students. In this first volume, we will address the interventions among patients with progressive neurological disease, AIDS and the critical patient (emergency and intensive care). In the second issue, we will cover palliative care in patients with chronic heart, respiratory and renal disease. Manuel Luís Capelas, PhD, Assistant Professor at the Institute of Health Sciences of UCP and Codirector of the Portuguese Observatory for Palliative Care This work is a relevant and timely contribution in strengthening knowledge about Palliative Care in groups of patients traditionally excluded from our services, such as those with non-cancer and degenerative diseases, but including those who use services as diverse as intensive care and emergency services. It is important, on this occasion, to leave a word of deep thanks and appreciation to the experts involved in the preparation of this book. Duarte Soares, President of the Portuguese Association for Palliative Care

A shorter, simpler first draft of the Gospel of Mark has been theorized by New Testament scholars for almost two hundred years. Using literary tools, David Oliver Smith strips away interpolation and redaction from the canonical Gospel to reveal that long-sought first draft--the Original Gospel of Mark. Original Mark, shorter than the canonical version and with several large blocks of text replaced in their original locations, reveals a coherent structure and a different picture of who Jesus is. But it is anything other than simple. The Original Gospel also presents puzzles for the curious reader of Mark to solve, and Smith has found the keys to their solution. Analysis of the text that was interpolated into Mark reveals who that redactor might have been. Evidence is presented that it was the author of the Gospel of Luke who redacted the first-written Gospel, jumbled its structure, and changed its Christology. Follow the analysis of literary structures created by the genius who wrote Mark's Gospel and discover the astounding design of the Original Gospel of Mark.

Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or motor neurone disease) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that can cause profound suffering for both the patient and their family. Whilst new treatments for ALS are being developed, these are not curative and offer only the potential to slow its progression. Palliative care must therefore be integral to the clinical approach to the disease. Palliative Care in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: From diagnosis to bereavement reflects the wide scope of this care; it must cover not just the terminal phase, but support the patient and their family from the onset of the disease. Both the multidisciplinary palliative care team and the neurology team are essential in providing a high standard of care and allowing quality of life (both patient and carer) to be maintained. Clear guidelines are provided to address care throughout the disease process. Control of symptoms is covered alongside the psychosocial care of patients and their families. Case studies are used to emphasise the complexity of the care needs and involvement of the patient and family, culminating in discussion of bereavement. Different models of care are explored, and this new edition utilizes the increase in both the evidence-base and available literature on the subject. New topics discussed include complementary therapies, personal and family experiences of ALS, new genetics research, and updated guidelines for patient care, to ensure this new edition remains the essential guide to palliative care in ALS.

En 1993, un montañero llamado Greg Mortenson regresaba de un intento fallido de alcanzar la cumbre del K2. Exhausto y desorientado, acabo desviándose del camino de descenso y alejándose de su grupo para vagar perdido por una de las zonas más desoladas del norte de Pakistán. Solo y sin comida, agua o una carpa bajo la que protegerse, se encontró de pronto en una pobre aldea pakistaní, donde le cuidaron hasta su recuperación. Antes de regresar a casa, Mortenson les prometió volver y construir una escuela. De aquella promesa nació una de las campañas humanitarias más increíbles de la historia: la misión de un hombre de luchar contra el extremismo y el terrorismo construyendo escuelas.

The paper in this volume are organized in three parts: scriptural, contextual and theological. The central question being addressed is: how do Christians living in contexts, where Islam is a majority or minority religion, experience, express or think of the Cross? This is, therefore, an exercise in listening. As the contexts from where these engagements arise are varied, the papers in drawing scriptural, contextual and theological reflections offer a cross-section of Christian thinking about Jesus and the Cross.

Traces how the author, having been rescued and resuscitated by Himalayan villagers after a failed attempt to climb K2, worked to build schools that would particularly benefit the young girls who were forbidden an education by Taliban restrictions, an endeavor for which his life has been repeatedly threatened. 40,000 first printing.

This book challenges what we believe, what we preach, the language we use, and the way we behave in an effort to change our thinking about how we view the world of work. David Oliver helps the reader explore ways to bring passion and vibrant spirituality to our work, whatever it is, making it a place which resonates with a sense of purpose and destiny.

Operating in all weathers, invariably at night, often at low level and usually without fighter escort, Allied 'Special Duties' (SD) squadrons and units played a vital role in the Second World War. By their very nature, these operations went unreported in wartime and for considerable time thereafter, but their importance in prosecuting the war of resistance in Occupied Europe was immense. Emerging from a time of rudimentary communications and transport, dedicated air units had been established by 1939 to fly agents into enemy territory, but their aircraft were hand-me-downs and the SD was considered a poor third to fighter and bomber operations. However, the tasks undertaken by these men and their aircraft were often more hazardous and demanding than any other type of wartime flying: for every SOS, SIS or OSS agent who lost their life in the field, at least one RAF or USAAF airman was killed while flying SD operations. Here, David Oliver examines the exploits of British, Commonwealth, American, Free European, Soviet, German, Italian and Japanese airmen and units, supported by first-hand accounts and archive photographs.

The Shaggy Steed is an unassuming figure from Irish folklore who reveals himself as an inspiring teacher of the forces hidden in the universe. This book celebrates an unassuming bit of physics that also turns out to be an inspiring teacher. The two-body problem - the motion of two bodies bound by the inverse-square force of gravity and electricity - is the Shaggy Steed of physics, guiding the reader to an understanding of both the forces and the mathematical beauty hidden in the physical world.
