New Releases by Paul Clark

Note: There are two versions of this book, one with full-color illustrations, the other with interior images in black and white. This is the full-color edition. Software Defined Radios are revolutionizing wireless communications, but getting started can be a challenge. Much of the available SDR training veers either towards highly mathematical engineering classes or radio cookbooks with little explanation for the steps taken. Introduction to Software Defined Radio steers between these two extremes by leveraging knowledge you already have but didn''t know was applicable to radio technology. Through a series of hands-on exercises, you''ll learn: to use gnuradio, the leading SDR software tool how analog signals are sampled when and how to use decimation and interpolation how filtering, tuning, and demodulating work how all the pieces of an SDR-based radio fit together This first volume of our Field Expedient SDR series will take you from being a complete novice to a capable user. There will still be much to learn, but you''ll be in a solid position to learn it.

To most New Zealanders, the word ''Hauhau'' conjures up a picture of bloodthirsty fanaticism. This book, the definitive study of the Pai Marire or ''Hauhau'' M&āori movement in the 1860s, presents a different view. Pai Marire is shown as being a search for ways of meeting European settlement and domination, and of using European skills and literacy, on M&āori terms and without compromising M&āori identity. Sources include the Ua Rongopai notebook, which contains a record of the words of Te Ua Haum&ēne, the prophet of Pai Marire, himself.

Just about all of us have a desire to be at the top in our job, sport or social circle.You’ve heard it before – if we want it hard enough, and follow certain techniques,we can reach the pinnacle of worldly success.The problem is, there can only be a handful of winners when it’s defined like that. Even if you achieve that sort of success, and become a wealthy winner – there must be losers.What if there were other pinnacles you could reach without standing on others?There is. You can be at the top in your relationships, happiness and quality of life and still be among friends!To get there, we have to go against our 21st Century instincts – try some ideas that aren’t always obvious or easy – to reach the top of life, not at the top of the pile.Interested?

Jesus gab seinen engsten Mitarbeitern im Mt 28,19 den Auftrag, zu den von Gott geliebten Menschen hinzugehen und sie zu seinen Nachfolgern zu machen. Wenn dieser Auftrag wirkungsvoll umgesetzt wird, führt das nach Überzeugung der Herausgeber zur Gründung von Gemeinden. Den Leser erwartet daher kein Handbuch mit Schritten zur erfolgreichen Gemeindegründung. Stattdessen nähern sich Autoren unterschiedlichster Prägung jeweils aus ihrem Blickwinkel der gemeinsamen Aufgabe, den Auftrag Jesu in die Tat umzusetzen. Davon ausgehend beschreibt James Ros in seinem grundlegenden Beitrag vor dem Hintergrund des Bundes Freikirchlicher Pfingstgemeinden (BFP) die Notwendigkeit, mit Nachdruck Gemeinden zu gründen. Mittlerweile hat Gemeindegründung im BFP zwar kaum noch "Feinde", aber unser Bund ist weit davon entfernt, geplant und zielorientiert Gemeinden zu gründen. Daran anschließend geht Dietrich Schindler der Frage nach, inwieweit Gemeindegründung ein Beitrag zur Evangelisation unseres Landes sein kann. Dominik Sikinger wendet sich als Vertreter der EmergingChurch-Bewegung in einem ausführlichen Grundsatzbeitrag der Fragestellung zu, an welchen Stellen in der postmodernen Gesellschaft Gemeinde neu gedacht werden muss. Werner Schleifenbaum beschäftigt sich als Pfarrer der Evangelischen Landeskirche mit der Frage, welche Schritte seiner Erfahrungen nach unabdingbar für Gemeindegründung sind. Ein besonderer Dank gilt Paul Clark, der diesen Band mit den Ergebnissen seiner Untersuchung aller Gemeindegründungen von 1945 bis 2005 innerhalb der Hauptzweige der deutschen Pfingstbewegung bereichert. Den Abschluss bildet ein ausführliches Interview mit Friedhelm Holthuis, unter dessen Leitung eine Gemeinde im ländlich geprägten Nordwesten Deutschlands acht Gemeindegründungen begleitet hat.

The lives and aspirations of young Chinese (those between 14 and 26 years old) have been transformed in the past five decades. By examining youth cultures around three historical points - 1968, 1988, and 2008 - this book argues that present-day youth culture in China has both international and local roots. Paul Clark describes how the Red Guards and sent-down youth of the Cultural Revolution era carved out a space for themselves, asserting their distinctive identities, despite tight political controls. By the late 1980s, Chinese-style rock music, sports, and other recreations began to influence the identities of Chinese youth. In the 21st century, the Internet offered a new, broader space for expressing youthful fandom and frustrations. From the 1960s to the present, global youth culture has been reworked to serve the needs of the young Chinese.

An intriguing study of cultural life during a turbulent and formative decade in contemporary China, this book seeks to explode several myths about the Cultural Revolution (officially 1966-76). Through national and local examination of the full range of cultural forms (film, operas, dance, other stage arts, music, fine arts, literature, and even architecture), Clark argues against characterizing this decade as one of chaos and destruction. Rather, he finds that innovation and creativity, promotion of participation in cultural production, and a vigorous promotion of the modern were all typical of the Cultural Revolution. Using a range of previously little-used materials, Clark forces us to fundamentally reassess our understanding of the Cultural Revolution, a period which he sees as the product of innovation in conflict with the effort by political leaders to enforce a top-down modernity.

Zico. Tino. César. These are just a few of the boys lost on the streets and in the jungles of Peru, trying to escape abuse by parents or police. But many are found, receiving food, medicine, love, and faith at Scripture Union centers in Lima and Iquitos, and at camps in Kawai, Kimo, and Puerto Alegria. These are their stories.

This book is a study of the genesis and films of the fifth-generation of Chinese filmmakers who emerged in the 1980s, and whose work vividly reflects the nature of change in China in the second half of the twentieth century. --book jacket.

Historians and social scientists have long studied the construction and operation of conventional categories like "nature/culture." In this dissertation, I take a rhetorical approach to the study of a conventional category I refer to as the "technical/non-technical split," the arbitrary but powerful articulation of what is and is not "technical" that structures contemporary organizations. To accomplish this study, I conducted an ethnographic study of the ways that the organizational and individual belief in the separation of "technical" from "non-technical" structured daily work at an Internet startup company. I analyze the formation of the technical/non-technical structure, a formation caused by and resulting from the organization''s change from a tiny virtual company of four to a formal organization of 16. I also explore the specifics of the re-distribution of labor, texts, and physical space, and examine the ways that those changes impact the distribution of material and social capital. I close by drawing out the implications of my study for scholars and instructors of rhetoric and professional communication. I explore the impacts of my study on the rhetoric of technology and the implications of my study for contemporary understandings of the position of technical writers within or2anizations.

DESIGN - A CRASH COURSE addresses a somewhat slippery subject. Ever since people started making things to help them live their lives there have been bright sparks who have said ''I''m sure there''s a better way of doing that.'' These people are variously called inventors, designers or know-alls. The word ''design'' is from the French, meaning ''to draw'' - so design is an activity that starts off with a drawing and leads to a thing. But that covers just about everything from the lightbulb to the space shuttle, so what is it that sets apart the people we call designers, and makes them different from artists and inventors? This little book is designed to reveal all, so read it and get an appreciation of the design revolution. DESIGN - A CRASH COURSE gives you the lowdown on the people who have made our world look the way it does and helps you untangle the difference between need, necessity and indulgence.
