The Fittingness of the Incarnation collects David Braine''s best unpublished philosophical and theological essays. The essays contained herein are representative of Braine''s careful, rich and distinctive work. As one of the more interesting philosophers of his generation, David Braine offered a realist account of the world - God''s existence, the human person, and language - through his major works, and these essays help follow through on some of those thoughts, explain underlying metaphysical or epistemological principles, and we see many of these applied in his theological essays. Additionally, the book includes Braine''s plans for books on the realism of St. Thomas Aquinas, which helps us see again his vision for a unified philosophical account, and the Incarnation, which shows how Braine''s philosophical anthropology informs. Altogether, the book contributes the final papers of David Braine to the fields at large.

Mental math is a skill people practice on a daily basis, often subconsciously, which involves doing calculations in your head. In mental math, you don''t have to write down elaborate details concerning the variables involved. Children are usually encouraged to learn mental math skills early in school, because being good at mental calculations can make a person successful in many other fields. Please note that even if being good at mental math does not necessarily signify high intelligence, people usually think it does, and that perception can help you obtain opportunities for advanced study or career development. Mental math proficiency is not just good for academic pursuits but also helps make life easier overall. This book dives deep into the mechanics of mental math and provides examples that will help the reader build mental math proficiency quickly.

On the eve of Queen Elizabeth II''s historic 70th anniversary on the throne, Tracy Borman''s sweeping narrative of the British monarchy illuminates one of history''s most iconic and enduring legacies Since William the Conqueror, duke of Normandy, crossed the English Channel in 1066 to defeat King Harold II and unite England''s various kingdoms, forty-one kings and queens have sat on Britain''s throne: "shining examples of royal power and majesty alongside a rogue''s gallery of weak, lazy, or evil monarchs," as Tracy Borman evocatively describes them in her sparkling chronicle, Crown & Sceptre. Ironically, during very few of these 955 years has the throne''s occupant been unambiguously English―the Norman French, the Welsh-born Tudors, the Scottish Stuarts, and the Hanoverians and their German successors to the present day have dominated the throne. Appealing to the intrinsic fascination with British royalty, Borman lifts the veil to reveal the remarkable characters and personalities who have ruled and, since the Glorious Revolution of 1688, have more ceremonially reigned―a crucial distinction explaining the staying power of the monarchy as the royal family has evolved and adapted to the needs and opinions of its people, avoiding the storms of rebellion that brought many of Europe''s royals to an abrupt end. Richard III; Henry VIII; Elizabeth I; George III; Victoria; Elizabeth II: their names evoke eras and dramatic events, forming the sweep of British history that Borman recounts. She is equally attuned to the fabric of monarchy: the impact of royal palaces; the way monarchs have been portrayed in art, on coins, in the media; the ceremony and pageantry surrounding the crown. In 2024, Elizabeth II would eclipse France''s Louis XIV as the longest reigning monarch in history. Crown & Sceptre is a fitting tribute to her remarkable longevity and that of the magnificent institution she represents.

Years ago, when he was a homicide detective with the Seattle PD, J. P. Beaumont''s partner, Sue Danielson, was murdered. Volatile and angry, Danielson''s ex-husband came after her in her home and, with nowhere else to turn, Jared, Sue''s teenage son, frantically called Beau for help. As Beau rushed to the scene, he urged Jared to grab his younger brother and flee the house. In the end, Beaumont''s plea and Jared''s quick action saved the two boys from their father''s murderous rage. Now, almost twenty years later, Jared reappears in Beau''s life seeking his help once again-his younger brother Chris is missing. Still haunted by the events of that tragic night, Beau doesn''t hesitate to take on the case. Following a lead all the way to the wilds of wintertime Alaska, he encounters a tangled web of family secrets in which a killer with nothing to lose is waiting to take another life.

What if anything can human beings know about God, either by way of philosophical reasoning or by divine revelation? How does the mystery of the Incarnation illuminate our understanding of the nature and mystery of God and the nature and destiny of the human person? The essays in this book explore topics pertaining to the nature of God, apophatic theology, divine simplicity and the holy Trinity, divine beauty, and the beauty of creation. The book also contains a series of speculative considerations of Christology: Why did God become human? How ought we understand the two natures of Christ and the topic of the communication of idioms (attribution of both divine and human properties to one person)? There is also a sustained treatment of Jesus'' human knowledge and voluntary freedom. Did Jesus understand his own lordship and his unity with the Father and the Holy Spirit, and if so, how? Did Christ''s human will always accord with the divine will, and what significance does this idea have for our understanding of the redemption affected by Christ for the whole human race? Through these explorations, principles drawn from Thomas Aquinas and from Thomistic tradition are taken into account as key resources for the adjudication of contemporary theological challenges. Principles of Catholic Theology, Book 3 is a continuation of Fr. Thomas Joseph White''s collection of essays, extending over a range of fundamental topics in Catholic dogmatic theology.

Gavin Bridson, bibliographer at the Hunt Institute, explains in the introduction that before printmaking the main problem for artists was distributing botanical drawings so that botanists everywhere could study them. Bridson goes on to trace the history of printing methods for botanical illustrations through five centuries. With the aid of photographic enlargement of details in a one to one ratio, 72 examples of relief, intaglio, planographic, nature-prints and photographic printing techniques are analyzed in this catalogue that accompanied a 1986 exhibition.

"Catholic theology has to ask and answer fundamental questions: what is the nature and content of Christian revelation, what are the sources of revelation, how are the mysteries of the faith to be understood in relation to one another, and how do the truths of the Catholic faith relate to those of natural reason. In this four book set within the larger Thomistic Ressourcement series, Thomas Joseph White answers these fundamental questions and discusses the central mysteries of faith as they relate to God and human beings. Book 1 is a set of essays about the task of Catholic theology from a Thomistic point of view. Book 2 is an argument for the reasonableness of Christianity in a secular and pluralistic age. Book 3 is a set of essays on Trinitarian, Christological, and creation theology. Book 4 is a set of essays on theological anthopology, including Mariology and ecclesiology"--
