“The next revival must be an awakening in the intellect of Christians ready to mark the life of the church and of the broader society with a thoughtful faith.†Thoughtful Christianity provides a guide to Christian faith that honors tradition while embracing modern thought and valuing critical reflection.

Thoughtful Eating
Author: Hannah Eves
Publisher: Sallux Publishing
ISBN: 9492697343
Category : Young Adult Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Eating is never a solitary act; each meal connects us profoundly to food chains, precious resources, human effort, a global ecology and graced provision. How does the food we eat affect the planet? What is a biblical response to environmental degradation, and how can we eat in a way that honours God? This book addresses the high environmental and social costs of modern food systems and provides theological reflections on the interconnected relationships between God, humanity and the non-human creation. By developing an extensive theology of food and eating, it suggests practical applications for individuals, organisations and policymakers, and proposes a framework for thoughtful eating so that we can learn to eat joyfully, relationally and sustainably. This book is widely and carefully-researched, biblically-rooted, judiciously balanced and yet will challenge you to re-evaluate what and how you eat. Food is not just fuel, but spiritually, socially and ecologically laden with meaning. A renewed relationship with food can transform our relationships with ourselves, our neighbours, the wider creation and even with God. Reading this will show you how. Dave Bookless, Director of Theology, A Rocha International

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 91
Book Description
‘Thoughtful Intelligence: A Practical guide for Moral development,’ is a book for training the mind-set to eradicate self and social incompatibilities to enhance the goodness in the system of humanity. Thoughtful intelligence is the higher order of thinking to train the mind-set to produce intentions and actions. Thoughtful intelligence can be struggled for and acquired. It is comprised of capacity to understand and realize the impact of one’s thoughts, words and actions on others’ (individuals’, groups’, and nations’) survival, dignity and development in time (days, weeks, months or years) and space (geographical land with or without human beings). The book has been vetted by 70 students and 7 faculty members from NDU, COMSATS, NUST and LUMS, to validate its readership based on interest and length of the content to bring about a sustainable change in the mind-sets to grow morals. 85% results of the process found the book attractive to get space on front of studies.

Thoughtful Interaction Design
Author: Jonas Lowgren
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262296926
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
The authors of Thoughtful Interaction Design go beyond the usual technical concerns of usability and usefulness to consider interaction design from a design perspective. The shaping of digital artifacts is a design process that influences the form and functions of workplaces, schools, communication, and culture; the successful interaction designer must use both ethical and aesthetic judgment to create designs that are appropriate to a given environment. This book is not a how-to manual, but a collection of tools for thought about interaction design. Working with information technology—called by the authors "the material without qualities"—interaction designers create not a static object but a dynamic pattern of interactivity. The design vision is closely linked to context and not simply focused on the technology. The authors' action-oriented and context-dependent design theory, drawing on design theorist Donald Schön's concept of the reflective practitioner, helps designers deal with complex design challenges created by new technology and new knowledge. Their approach, based on a foundation of thoughtfulness that acknowledges the designer's responsibility not only for the functional qualities of the design product but for the ethical and aesthetic qualities as well, fills the need for a theory of interaction design that can increase and nurture design knowledge. From this perspective they address the fundamental question of what kind of knowledge an aspiring designer needs, discussing the process of design, the designer, design methods and techniques, the design product and its qualities, and conditions for interaction design.

Thoughtful Machine Learning
Author: Matthew Kirk
Publisher: "O'Reilly Media, Inc."
ISBN: 1449374107
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
Learn how to apply test-driven development (TDD) to machine-learning algorithms—and catch mistakes that could sink your analysis. In this practical guide, author Matthew Kirk takes you through the principles of TDD and machine learning, and shows you how to apply TDD to several machine-learning algorithms, including Naive Bayesian classifiers and Neural Networks. Machine-learning algorithms often have tests baked in, but they can’t account for human errors in coding. Rather than blindly rely on machine-learning results as many researchers have, you can mitigate the risk of errors with TDD and write clean, stable machine-learning code. If you’re familiar with Ruby 2.1, you’re ready to start. Apply TDD to write and run tests before you start coding Learn the best uses and tradeoffs of eight machine learning algorithms Use real-world examples to test each algorithm through engaging, hands-on exercises Understand the similarities between TDD and the scientific method for validating solutions Be aware of the risks of machine learning, such as underfitting and overfitting data Explore techniques for improving your machine-learning models or data extraction
