Pourquoi la Science et la Foi vont de Pair
Author: Malcolm A. JeevesPublisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666777595
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 903
Book Description
Lorsque nous essayons de nous comprendre et de comprendre le monde dans lequel nous vivons, nous nous tournons souvent d'abord vers la science - et ensuite, s'il reste des lacunes dans notre comprehension, nous essayons de les combler en nous referant a Dieu et a notre foi. Cette approche, que nous appelons "le dieu des lacunes", a une longue histoire et, malheureusement, elle est encore bien vivante aujourd'hui. Ce livre a ete ecrit pour offrir une approche alternative en posant cette question fondamentale : comment les chretiens ayant recu une education formelle peuvent-ils maintenir leur honnetete intellectuelle et en meme temps etre fideles a la fois a l'Ecriture et a la science ? Ce livre donne des exemples de quelques-uns des problemes les plus epineux qui se posent aujourd'hui dans le domaine de la science et de la foi, et propose des moyens de reflechir de maniere constructive a chacun d'entre eux. Malcolm A. Jeeves est professeur emerite de psychologie a l'universite de St Andrews, en Ecosse, ancien president de la Societe royale d'Edimbourg et de l'Academie nationale d'Ecosse, et membre de l'Academie des sciences medicales et de la Societe britannique de psychologie. Pionnier de la psychologie cognitive, de la neuropsychologie et de la psychologie evolutionniste, il est l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages sur la science et la foi.
Victim Policies and Criminal Justice on the Road to Restorative Justice
Author: Tony PetersPublisher: Leuven University Press
ISBN: 9789058671813
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
This edited volume contains 22 papers organized into three sections under the following headings: part I is entitled On Promoting Victim Policies; Part II On Reforming Criminal Justice; and Part III On Restorative Justice. All three areas are ones to which Tony Peters, former Professor of Criminology in Leuven, has made a significant contribution and for which he is known as an international authority. During his long and productive academic career Tony Peters led many struggles for criminal justice reform. He was a leading figure in the movement to recognize crime victims' plight and to reaffirm their rights. In Belgium, he spearheaded the early initiatives in restorative justice and became one of its outspoken proponents nationally and internationally. There is no doubt that these three major topics and the various developments and reforms that are addressed in the papers will dominate the thinking about, and the practice of, criminal justice in the years to come. Thus, in addition to paying homage to a congenial friend and an illustrious colleague, it is hoped that this book will appeal and prove useful to all those who have an interest in victims issues, in criminal justice reform, and last but not least, in the promising paradigm of restorative justice.

Socio-Economic Approach to Management Treatise
Author: Henri SavallPublisher: IAP
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 1100
Book Description
The result of half a century of research and experimentation in economics and management, this Treatise is intended for management practitioners. Socio-economic management (SEAM) makes the demands of humanism in professional life and sustainable economic prosperity compatible. It is illustrated with numerous cases from 2,150 companies and organizations from a wide variety of sectors and presents observed and measured results. Most of these chapters are written jointly by managers or executives of companies and organizations, and scholars or consultants involved in the pilot actions. This book is the work of 193 authors, from 16 countries and 4 continents, practitioners or academics in management sciences and management. This reflects the diversity of national and sectoral contexts of SEAM applications. Some chapters situate this concept in relation to the major currents of current thought. Each chapter is preceded by abstracts in French, English and Spanish. The prefaces, signed by Herman Aguinis and Rene Ricol, show the scope of socio-economic theory and management beyond the borders of the company. The book illustrates the international influence (48 countries) of the innovative and robust methods created and developed by the ISEOR team. Socio-economic theory constitutes a "breakthrough innovation", both in terms of its conceptual contribution and the practical methods and tools of its applications. This holistic approach touches on the different functions of the company and its multiple problems. It provides a structured change management method, focused on stimulating Human Potential and on self-financing the development of the company or organization, through the periodic recycling of hidden costs.

Dak'Art
Author: Ugochukwu-Smooth NzewiPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 100018563X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
What can an art biennale in Dakar, Senegal, tell us about current discourses surrounding the place of art in the world, and in the academic study of anthropology? This volume investigates the Dak'Art biennale, ranked among the world's top 20 biennials, drawing upon fieldwork, archival research, and the experiences of those involved. In so doing, the chapters make a statement about the impact of globally-acting art biennials, contributing to current scholarship both on biennales and the anthropology of art scene more widely. Part I opens with the history of its foundation and considers it in conjunction with the rise of contemporary art in Senegal. Part II deals with the biennale's various objectives, selection strategies, exhibition spaces, platforms for debate, and discourses between the State, the secretariat and local artists and art world professionals. Part III examines the cyclical creation of contemporary African art, and questions if the Biennial creates local canonical practices. The Epilogue uses the Dak'art biennale to question assumptions around practice in general biennale scholarship and work. Featuring a dialogic structure between practitioners of art and anthropologists, this unique volume will be of interest to students of anthropology, art history and practice, African studies and curatorial practice.
2010 Global Hunger Index

Book Description
As the world approaches the 2015 deadline for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which include a goal of reducing the proportion of hungry people by half, the 2010 Global Hunger Index (GHI) offers a useful multidimensional overview of global hunger. The 2010 GHI is the fifth in an annual series that records the state of global, regional, and national hunger. The 2010 GHI shows some improvement over the 1990 GHI, falling by almost one-quarter, but overall the index for hunger in the world remains at a level characterized as serious. The GHI captures three dimensions of hunger: insufficient availability of calories, shortfalls in the nutritional status of children, and child mortality. Accordingly, the Index includes the following three equally weighted indicators: the proportion of people who are undernourished, as estimated by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO); the prevalence of underweight in children under the age of five, as compiled by the World Health Organization (WHO); and the under-five mortality rate, as reported by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The 2010 Index reflects data from 2003 to 2008, the most recent global data available on the three GHI components.
