New Releases by James Dobson

MOONBIT is a hybrid work comprised of experimental poetry and a critical theory of the poetics and politics of computer code. It offers an extended intellectual and creative engagement with the affordances of computer software through multiple readings and re-writings of a singular text, the source code of the Apollo 11 Guidance Computer or the "AGC." MOONBIT re-marks and remixes the code that made space travel possible. Half of this book is erasure poetry that uses the AGC code as the source text, building on the premise that code can speak beyond its functional purpose. When we think about the 1960s U.S. space program and obscure scientific computer code, we might not first think about the Watts riots, Shakespeare, Winnie the Pooh, T.S. Eliot, or scatological jokes. Yet these cultural references and influences along with many more are scattered throughout the body of the code that powered the compact digital computer that successfully guided astronauts to the Moon and back and in July of 1969. MOONBIT unravels and rewrites the many embedded cultural references that were braided together within the language resources of mid-century computer code. MOONBIT also provides a gentle, non-expert introduction to the text of the AGC code, to digital poetics, and to critical code studies. Outlining a capacious interpretive practice, MOONBIT takes up all manner of imaginative decodings and recodings of this code. It introduces some of the major existing approaches to the study of code and culture while provide multiple readings of the source code along with an explanation and theorization of the way in which the code works, as both a computational and a cultural text.

The second installment in the riveting new trilogy from Dr. James Dobson and Kurt Bruner transports readers to a not-too-distant future when the young and healthy strain under the burden of a rapidly aging population. Everyone is nervous about how Judge Victor Santiago will rule. The case involved the tragic demise of a loving mother and her disabled son. A common medical procedure has somehow created havoc across the legal and economic landscape. The president''s popular Youth Initiative is losing momentum. Political and economic fortunes are at stake. That''s why someone, somewhere, would rather put the judge in his grave than risk a wrong decision. Tyler Cain, a once respected police detective turned sleazy private investigator, has been pulled into the middle of events way above his pay grade. He hopes the case will restore some measure of dignity. But does he have what it takes to find the potential assassin before time runs out? He seeks help from Julia Davidson, a newly married journalist, who finds herself torn between the influence she craves and the husband she loves. She wants significance. But he wants a child. In Fatherless, Dr. James Dobson and Kurt Bruner depicted a time in which present-day trends come to sinister fruition. This eagerly awaited follow-up vividly imagines what happens when the abiding joys of parenthood are exchanged for the gradual deterioration of a CHILDLESS world.

El doctor James Dobson ofrece respuestas tiles a sus preguntas acerca de las funciones de los padres y la crianza de los nios: Cunto trabajo se debe exigir de un nio? Cmo se establece el concepto de Dios en la mente de un nio? Qu pasa por la mente de un nio cuando abiertamente desafa a sus padres? De qu debo hablar cuando trato de asuntos sexuales con mi preadolescente? // Dr. James Dobson provides useful answers to your questions about the roles of parents and parenting: How much work should be required of a child? How is the concept of God in the mind of a child? What goes through the mind of a child when her parents openly challenges? What should I talk when I try with my preteen sexual matters?

Cmo la familia debe actuar para evitar desarrollar entre los miembros la depresin, la culpa, la ira, los complejos de inferioridad, etc. y cmo responder ante ellos en caso de que ya existan en la familia. // How the family must act to avoid developing among members depression, guilt, anger, inferiority complexes, etc.. and how to respond to them if they already exist in the family.

The year is 2042, and the long-predicted tipping point has arrived. For the first time in human history, the economic pyramid has flipped: The feeble old now outnumber the vigorous young, and this untenable situation is intensifying a battle between competing cultural agendas. Reporter Julia Davidson-a formerly award-winning journalist seeking to revive a flagging career-is investigating the growing crisis, unaware that her activity makes her a pawn in an ominous conspiracy. Plagued by nightmares about her absent father, Julia finds herself drawn to the quiet strength of a man she meets at a friend''s church. As the engrossing plot of FATHERLESS unfolds, Julia faces choices that pit professional success against personal survival in an increasingly uncertain and dangerous world. FATHERLESS vividly imagines a future in which present-day trends come to sinister fruition.

With more than one million copies sold, When God Doesn’t Make Sense is an immensely practical book for those who are struggling with trials and heartaches they can’t understand. Why does disease, natural disaster, divorce, rejection, death, or some other sorrow seep into our lives when we are trying to serve the Lord? It just doesn’t seem fair! This book deals unflinchingly with life’s most troubling question—“Why?” Drawing on his long experience as a Christian psychologist and family counselor, Dr. Dobson brings hope to those who have almost given up. When God Doesn’t Make Sense also helps believers avoid the “betrayal barrier”—the sense that God is abandoning them amid the storms of life. Now with a new foreword by R. T. Kendall.

The nightmares have returned. Something, or someone, wants to drag Julia Davidson back into a dreadful conflict she assumed was a distant memory. Was this, like before, the echo of another person''s dream? Is she responsible to rescue faces she doesn''t recognize but can''t forget? Do the murky images suggest she has a part to play in whatever ominous events lie ahead? Things are finally looking up for Matthew Adams. As the top earner at MedCom Associates he has started to crawl out of the financial hole created during his "dark days." And now, out of the blue, a mysterious woman invites him to join a confidential research initiative. She says it will ease the mounting economic crisis. But at what cost to Matthew''s fragile sanity, and his tortured soul? Pastor Alex Ware faces a serious problem. The honeymoon period at Christ Community Church has ended. The finance committee says they can''t afford another year of dwindling income and dismal growth. The board wants action, now! Aging parishioners would gladly allocate a portion of their estate to help. But only if Alex stops condemning the transition industry and starts affirming what the Youth Initiative calls "our heroic volunteers." In Fatherless and Childless, Dr. James Dobson and Kurt Bruner depicted a time in which present-day trends come to sinister fruition. This eagerly awaited conclusion vividly imagines what happens when God''s image on earth is exchanged for the horrors of a GODLESS world.

This thesis explores the Baltimore Riot of April 19, 1861 during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Here the first deaths of the war occurred when Massachusetts soldiers attempted to journey through Baltimore onto the nation''s capital Washington, D.C. An armed clash between local citizens and Northern troops ensued. Four soldiers were killed while another twelve Baltimoreanssuffered the same fate. Despite being the place of the first deaths, the Baltimore Riot has been an under represented event in Civil War history and memory. It is this thesis'' aim to go beyondaccepting that the Riot was result of a secessionist mob and longstanding tensions within the city. The thesis is divided into three main chapters. The first chapter will investigate howhistorians have reported and handled this event as a part of the war''s history and the ways the Riot has been passed down through memory. In this section I will show how the Baltimore Riot has been a difficult event for Civil War historians and commemorators to reconcile with the established understandings of this conflict. I will show how the Riot and the crowd has been classified into the arguments of self defence, traitors, and a composite stance where the crowd was solely a secessionists uprising while the majority of Baltimoreans remained loyal citizens to the Union cause. Chapter Two will analyse and compare the 1861 Riot to Baltimore''s long history of public violence in particular the riots of the 1850s. Here I look at three events during the earlier decade - the 1856 Municipal Election Riots, the 1857 Seal Strike, and the 1858 and 1859 Caulker Riots. Through these events I will show that the Baltimore Riot of 1861 was far larger and incorporated all of the past methods and strategies into this one event. As such the 1861 Riot''s scale and ferocity make this event more than a typical Baltimore style riot and says more about the longstanding practices of violence in the city. Chapter Three will explore the reasons and rationales of why Baltimoreans attacked the Massachusetts soldiers on April 19, 1861. These motivations are rumours and anxiety, and identity and self defence. To achieve this objective I will use testimonies of the people who witnessed, participated and lived through the Riot. These testimonies will come from Grand Juries, Maryland State Legislature sessions, diaries, letters and reminiscences and memoirs. The main purpose is to go inside the crowd and understand why the Riot resulted and to show that the crowd was not only secessionists but comprised from across a far broader social spectrum of Baltimoreans. Overall, I want to show that the Baltimore Riot as the place of the Civil War''s first deaths deserves greater recognition and appreciation, and that its size and intensity stands apart from the city''s lineage of rioting and violence. For me the Baltimore Riot is more than a riot perpetrated by a secessionist mob as it has more in common with being a battle. With this in mind the Riot needs to be considered as a more significant event at the start of the American Civil War.
