Soul hungers are real and normal. Unfortunately, these universal human longings can drive us to dangerous places, risky behaviors, and enslaving addictions. Much of the drama and discontent that plagues the lives of modern women can be traced directly to a hungry soul. Women often try to satisfy their cravings by shopping, overeating, seeking the attention of men, or having children. What they really hunger for, though, is deep and lasting spiritual fulfillment. In Satisfied...at Last!, author Kay Harms shows women who are tired of looking for soul satisfaction in all the wrong places how to find truth, guidance, and fulfillment by interacting with the Word of God intimately and daily. But, for even the most devout Christians, the Bible can be mystifying. How can an invisible, spirit-God satisfy the deepest cravings of the soul, when He cant be seen, heard, or touched? Through thirty truthful, transparent lessons, Satisfied...at Last! guides the reader through a study of the Scriptures specially designed to address the soul hungers of women. Why settle for unfulfilling junk food when the Word of God can introduce you to the richly satisfying Bread of Life?

Is the nation state under siege? A common answer is that globalization poses two fundamental threats to state sovereignty. The first concerns the unleashing of centrifugal and centripetal forces - such as increasing market integration and the activities of institutions like the IMF, World Bank, and WTO - that imperil state sovereignty from 'outside' the nation state. The second threat emanates from self-determination movements that jeopardize state sovereignty from 'inside'. Rigorously analyzing popular hypotheses on globalization's effect on state sovereignty from a broad social sciences perspective, the authors use empirical evidence to suggest that globalization's multilevel threats to state sovereignty have been overestimated. In most instances globalization is likely to generate pressure for increased government spending while only one form of market integration - foreign direct investment by multinational enterprises - appears to increase any feeling of economic insecurity. This volume will be invaluable to course instructors at both graduate and undergraduate levels, policy makers and members of the general public who are concerned about the effects of globalization on the nation-state.

Walt Whitman spent most of his professional life writing and re-writing Leaves of Grass, revising it multiple times until his death. The first edition was a small book of twelve poems and the last, a compilation of over 400. The poems of Leaves of Grass represent Whitman's celebration of his philosophy of life and humanity. His poetry praises nature and the individual human's role in it.

Computational social choice is an expanding field that merges classical topics like economics and voting theory with more modern topics like artificial intelligence, multiagent systems, and computational complexity. This book provides a concise introduction to the main research lines in this field, covering aspects such as preference modelling, uncertainty reasoning, social choice, stable matching, and computational aspects of preference aggregation and manipulation. The book is centered around the notion of preference reasoning, both in the single-agent and the multi-agent setting. It presents the main approaches to modeling and reasoning with preferences, with particular attention to two popular and powerful formalisms, soft constraints and CP-nets. The authors consider preference elicitation and various forms of uncertainty in soft constraints. They review the most relevant results in voting, with special attention to computational social choice. Finally, the book considers preferences in matching problems. The book is intended for students and researchers who may be interested in an introduction to preference reasoning and multi-agent preference aggregation, and who want to know the basic notions and results in computational social choice.
