Our Tactical Guide to Prenuptial Agreements in Arizona, by Scott David Stewart, is an ideal starting point if planning the wedding while curious about how a prenup could help your marriage.

Ancient Greek philosophers, medieval theologians, Enlightenment thinkers, and contemporary humanists alike have debated all aspects of human sexuality, including its purpose, permissibility, normalcy, and risks. Philosophizing About Sex provides a philosophical guide to those longstanding and important debates. Each chapter takes a general issue (freedom, privacy, objectification, etc.) and shows how ongoing public discussions of sexuality can be illuminated by careful philosophical investigation. Debates over topics such as sexual assault, sexual orientation, sex education, prostitution, and “sexting” involve larger questions about morality, law, science, and politics and cannot be intelligently discussed in isolation from broader issues. By asking deceptively simple questions, this book shows how difficult but important it is to arrive at satisfying answers.

This book takes readers into the everyday religious lives of the members of three Pentecostal congregations located in Canada. The case study presented in this book suggests that a new breed of Pentecostals are emerging for whom traditional definitions and expressions of Pentecostalism are less important than religious autonomy and individualism.

Manager selection is a critical step in implementing any investment program. Investors hire portfolio managers to act as their agents, and portfolio managers are then expected to perform to the best of their abilities and in the investors'' best interests. Investors must practice due diligence when selecting portfolio managers. They need to not only identify skillful managers, but also determine the appropriate weights to assign to those managers. This book is designed to help investors improve their ability to select managers. Achieving this goal includes reviewing techniques for hiring active, indexed, and alternative managers; highlighting strategies for setting portfolio manager weights and monitoring current managers; and considering the value of quantitative and qualitative methods for successful manager selection.

In this era of low-cost airfare, ecotourism, adventure vacations and short-term mission trips, Christians are traveling abroad in larger numbers than ever before -- often to increasingly remote and potentially dangerous destinations. Many of these travelers do not give much thought to security, either due to naiveté or from the mistaken notion that to consider one''s personal security indicates a lack of faith in God. Other travelers do think about security, but too much, and worry and fear ruin their trip. In Shrewd as Serpents, Gentle as Doves, security and terrorism expert Scott Stewart explains how to practice a balanced, common-sense approach to travel security that begins with preparation for the trip. Scott also teaches readers how to practice a relaxed, sustainable level of situational awareness and equips travelers with a number of practical security tools and tips that will help ensure a safe and enjoyable trip abroad. Reviews: "There are many so-called security experts out there, but as a former State Department special agent and corporate security manager, Scott Stewart knows what he is talking about. He is able to distill the lessons learned from the investigation and analysis of countless attacks and incidents into practical advice that can help prevent further tragedies. If you want to safeguard yourself and family, you should read this book." -- Fred Burton, Vice President, Stratfor and author of Ghost and Chasing Shadows "This book is a much-needed, well-written treatment of not only the subject of safety and security for short-term mission trips, but it''s equally applicable to anyone involved in missions to any degree, short- or long-term. It will be highly recommended reading to all those I know involved in missions anywhere." -- David Pryor, Security Coordinator, New Tribes Mission

Student evaluations have been commonly used in determining the success of a course and the effectiveness of its instructor. This research study seeks to identify what graduating students and alumni perceive to be of most value in courses, and in turn the relationship of those perceptions with the information in evaluations conducted at the conclusion of individual courses. Empirical results based on student and alumni survey data suggest key recommendations for both instructors and university presidents. If instructors want students, once they become alumni, to be satisfied with their course experience, they need to teach material which will be truly useful in their careers, even if students don''t fully appreciate it during class. And if presidents want satisfied alumni, they need to ensure their school''s curriculum includes material that may be applied in the real world, and that the measures of teaching effectiveness utilized for compensation purposes, don''t stress too highly traditional measures of student satisfaction.

DescriptionIn Through The Outdoor'' is my only link with the real world. It is my way to both live and then eventually die. I did not set out or plan to write this book, it simply began. It began because I had to write down what it was I felt. And I felt scared. Very scared. Of nothing. Writing this book was the only way I could survive when nothing made any sense but to me the book also makes no sense. Writing it did not help me one bit. But reading it does and that''s what I hope you do because that will help me a lot, too. That is, I need the money! I hope you enjoy what is in these pages and I hope it doesn''t make too much sense. It''s not meant to - it''s life - it''s just meant to feel right. Right? If this book does make any sense to you then please remember what it is you felt when you read it. Because that is what mentally unwell'' feel every day of their lives. They just want to make sense like you. And just like you they want to lead normal lives. Normal lives: without fear; without persecution. I hope you understand even if it doesnt make sense. Because understanding is really all that matters. The protagonist of ''In Through The Outdoor'' is not me. That is, it''s not ME, Scott Stewart. I''m the author. But everything in those pages is me, or is or was, a part of me. I''m not the first person ''I'' of the book''s narrative but then who is? As you read there appears to be another ''I'', someone called "Steven." Is he me? Am I him? Am ''I'' him? We don''t know. I don''t know, and I''m the author. Does anyone really know, then? if even the instigator of the thing in question is uncertain of its meaning or origin? This is what ''In Through the Outdoor'' is about. It''s about nothing. The nothing that always is that plagues every single one of us, every single day of our existence. About the AuthorI came to Australia in October 1973 when my family decided that the Australian climate was a better option to raise their youngest child who then suffered from asthma. I grew up in Brisbane - the capital of Queensland, one of the really big states in this country, Australia. But although I grew out of the respiratory condition I grew into another set of problems. At age 18 I was admitted to the Princess Alexandra Hospital psychiatric ward and would spend almost 3 months of my life there. It almost killed me. But it wasn''t the start of my problems and it certainly wasn''t the end. I had developed OCD at age 12 and-a-half and the obsessions almost drove me, and my family, insane. My condition just ''morphed'' from there on - being diagnosed as major depressive then schizophrenic then bi-polar and almost every other description of mental unwellness you can think of. That was 28 years ago. Now, still living in Brisbane, I''m finally getting on with what I always knew I had (?) to do. And that was, or is, create. I''m a creative person: I''ve always been interested in writing and photography and drawing and painting and acting and making movies (but not watching them) but, most of all, I''ve always wanted to play music. Drums are my passion and almost always have been. I tried to give them up so many times when I felt that I was getting nowhere. But I persisted, as I did with anything I ever undertook or began with any real desire to finish. And that includes my life. Like all of us, I travelled in through the out door to get here. That is, the way I came in is the way I''ll go out. But there''s no need to exit until you''re asked to leave - by whatever means - so now that I''ve arrived I plan to try to make my stay as comfortable as possible. But it''s a hard slog. Everyday is a battle. Knowing that the exit is just round the corner (or behind you, as the protagonists of my book discover) means you''re always on guard. And I''ve been on duty for 28 years now. Keeping watch over my fortress - a fortress built on sand and water. I''ve been sinking for a long time but I can swim, so I''m not scared. I just wish I could find the higher ground (?). And that''s w
