Book Synopsis Light Perspectives by : Aksel Karcher
Download or read book Light Perspectives written by Aksel Karcher. This book was released on 2009. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book endeavours to identify terms and standards defining qualities in architectural lighting. It uses this identification to promote communication and aid dialogue between designers and engineers, building owners and planners, professionals and laymen. Its 21 chapters are arranged in three sections covering the actual qualities of light, the relationship between light and space and, finally, the dimension of light in relation to culture. In each chapter, paired terms explore the design dimensions of light. Using texts, photos, computer graphics and drawings, the team of authors investigates each pair of terms. They begin with the original cultural and historical context, move onto didactic material on perception, lighting design and lighting technology and conclude with case studies in virtual architectural situations.

Book Synopsis Salt and Light by : Daniel J. Pilla
Download or read book Salt and Light written by Daniel J. Pilla. This book was released on 2018-11-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of Americans attending Christian worship services is falling and those identifying with world religions, such as Islam or Buddhism, is on the rise, along with those claiming to be atheists. Against this sobering backdrop, we have to ask the question: Is the Church on the move, or is the Church on the run? It's time for Christians to take action on Jesus' commands to be salt and light. While we have all read the words, few of us fully understand what it means to bring those words to life. In Salt and Light, you'll see exactly what Jesus meant when he said you are the salt of the earth and you are the light of the world. This book is the call to action the Church needs in this time of crisis. In Salt and Light you will learn: - The true Christian history of America's founding and why it's more important today than ever - 3 specific ways Jesus intended his followers to be the "salt of the earth" - What exactly it means to be light to a dark world - 4 methods Jesus demonstrated for being light to those around you - 3 things that keep you from being salt and light to others, and how to eliminate them - How to function as a preservative and disinfectant - 8 proven tools for enduring attacks on your faith - How God uses ordinary people to make an extraordinary difference for His kingdom - Lessons from Gideon's life that you probably never thought of, and how they apply to you today - And much more Salt and Light is a Christian call to action. If you're on God's team, Salt and Light shows you how to not only get in the game but be effective in the strength you have right now.

Book Synopsis Sharing the Light by : Lisa Raphals
Download or read book Sharing the Light written by Lisa Raphals. This book was released on 1998-07-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharing the Light explores historical and philosophical shifts in the depiction of women and virtue in the early centuries of the Chinese state. These changes had far-reaching effects on both the treatment of women in Chinese society and on the formation of Chinese philosophical discourse on ethics, cosmology, epistemology, and self-cultivation. Warring States and Han dynasty narratives frequently represented women as intellectually adroit, politically astute, and ethically virtuous; these histories, discourses, and life stories portray women as active participants within their own society, not inert victims of it. The women depicted resembled sages, ministers, and generals as the mainstays and destroyers of dynasties. These stories emphasized that sagacity, intellect, strategy, and statecraft were virtues proper to women, an emphasis that effectively disappeared from later collections and instruction texts by and for women. During the same period, there were also important changes in the understanding of two polarities that delineated what now is called gender. Han correlative cosmology included a range of hierarchical analogies between yin and yang and men and women, and the understanding of yin and yang shifted from complementarity toward hierarchy. Similarly, the doctrine of separate spheres (inner and outer, nei-wai) shifted from a notion of appropriate distinction between men and women toward physical, social, and intellectual separation and isolation.
