Fate Calculation Experts
Author: Geng Li
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 1785339958
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
Having long been stigmatized as an immoral and even illegal “superstition”, the popular practice of divination is experiencing a revival in contemporary China. Fate Calculation Experts explores how diviners attempt to achieve legitimation in a society which identifies strongly with modernity, science, and rationality. As well as associating with modern knowledge production systems, diviners build a positive social image for their occupation via claims to moral authority and appeals to “tradition”. Beyond matters of image management, diviners’ efforts towards legitimation also figure in the social relationships and fundamental cultural values they develop in their practice.

Book Description
Fate can be cruel, but sometimes it can be the only thing that stands between you and death… I’m determined to break free from the clutches of this dangerous prophecy. I’ll do what I have to locate the crystals before my friend-turned-traitor does. Failure is not an option. There is just one tiny problem—we have no clue where to begin. Seeking guidance, we journey to Blayde’s home, hoping to find a starting point. But as we arrive, a sense of unease settles upon us. Strange occurrences plague the pack–precious items are vanishing, and innocent children are disappearing. Something wicked is at play. Throughout the chaos, Blayde remains steadfast and patient, offering me unwavering support. The choice to trust him, to take a leap into a budding romance, rests solely on my shoulders. With every stolen glance and every racing heartbeat in his presence, I question if it was real or merely a figment of Fate’s manipulation. I have to embrace my role as Huntress, battling not only for the crystals but also for my own survival. But the evil hunting me has found me. I must become more to win the battles that lie ahead.

Tempting Fate
Author: Paul C. Avey
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501740393
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Unpacking of the dynamics of conflict under conditions of nuclear monopoly, Paul C. Avey argues in Tempting Fate that the costs and benefits of using nuclear weapons create openings that weak nonnuclear actors can exploit. Avey uses four case studies to show the key strategies available to nonnuclear states: Iraqi decision-making under Saddam Hussein in confrontations with the United States; Egyptian leaders' thinking about the Israeli nuclear arsenal during wars in 1969–70 and 1973; Chinese confrontations with the United States in 1950, 1954, and 1958; and a dispute that never escalated to war, the Soviet-United States tensions between 1946 and 1948 that culminated in the Berlin Blockade. Strategies employed include limiting the scope of the conflict, holding chemical and biological weapons in reserve, seeking outside support, and leveraging international non-use norms. Avey demonstrates clearly that nuclear weapons cast a definite but limited shadow, and while the world continues to face various nuclear challenges, understanding conflict in nuclear monopoly will remain a pressing concern for analysts and policymakers. Thanks to generous funding from Virginia Tech and its participation in TOME, the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access volumes, available from Cornell Open (cornellpress.cornell.edu/cornell-open) and other repositories.

A Journey to Seeking God, Real or Myth?
Author: Florence Gaspar Muzi
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1665500859
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
A true story and now a speaker of God’s love and his empowerment bringing one around not only to the love of God but to work towards the image of his son in obedience and love of the Father, the goal is to love one another as he so love’s us, yes, sometimes difficult. I sit here in my little Eden – my backyard, I hear the mockingbird serenading in the background a gift from nature and God who has put joy back into my life and love. I comfortably write these words from witness of my children and myself; it is my hope that everyone that reads and witnesses God’s supernatural will share it with another and another and another; that we will speak freely the full story of witness. Perhaps the atheists who believe they can do it alone and in their last moments of life call for a priest, suddenly there not sure God is real and there. A change of heart is different from a change of mind – – think.
