For more than ten thousand years, humans have lived in New Jersey. From Summit to Cape May, from Trenton to the Jersey Shore, the state is a treasure trove of archaeological artifacts, revealing much about those who occupied the region prior to European settlement. As a rule, only the most durable of human creations3⁄4items of stone and pottery3⁄4survive the ravages of time. To complicate matters, the onslaught of our own culture and the indiscriminate looting of sites by greedy collectors have further diminished the cultural materials left behind. The task of the archaeologist is to gather and interpret these scraps for the benefit of science and the public. But digging up relics is a trivial pursuit if the only outcome is a collection of artifacts, however attractive or valuable they may be. Understanding what those relics mean in human terms is crucial. In Looking beneath the Surface, R. Alan Mounier looks at the human past of New Jersey. With particular focus on the ancient past and native cultures, the author tells the story of archaeology in the state as it has unfolded, and as it continues to unfold. New investigations and discoveries continually change our views and interpretations of the past. In jargon-free language, Mounier provides an in-depth introduction offering information to understand general archaeological practices as well as research in New Jersey. Subsequent chapters describe artifact types, archaeological settlements, and burial practices in detail. He concludes with vignettes of twenty-one archaeological investigations throughout the state to illustrate the variability of sites and the accomplishments of dedicated archaeologists, both professional and amateur.

Looking Beneath the Surface explores Arab-Islamic and Western perspectives on medical ethical issues: genetic research and treatment, abortion, organ donation, and palliative sedation and euthanasia. The contributions in this volume discuss the state of the (medical) art, the role of laws, counseling, and spiritual counseling in the decision-making process. The different approaches to the ethical issues, ways of moral reasoning, become clear in these contributions, especially the role of tradition for Islam and the importance of autonomy for the West. Beneath the differences, however, the reader will also discover common values, such as the role of dignity and the value of life, and similar practices. Some of the main differences are sociocultural in nature, rather than religious as such. Well-known experts in the fields of medicine and ethics have contributed to this volume from different religious and secular backgrounds. The book offers a carefully written introduction and final chapter on intercultural comparisons. Looking Beneath the Surface is more than a collection of writings on issues in medical ethics: it helps the reader to compare different paradigms of accountability and moral reasoning.

We want to find where all of the pieces fit, and we want to see the entire big picture as well and the small details. But we can study and read the Bible for our entire lives and miss out on the golden nuggets that God has placed there to bless us with, hidden within the depths of the Bible. If we dig into the meat, into the depth of God's Word beneath the top layer, it will become so apparent that only the Lord could write with such perfect inerrancy, such perfect symmetry, and such perfect consistency, and we will wonder how anyone could doubt the Word of God as being written by divine inspiration! Join us as we delve into the depths of the Scripture, discover Christ all over the Old Testament, come to an understanding of the balance and consistency between the Old and New Testament and delve into new heights and depths of the Bible. Join us as we study God's Word and find incredible meaning Just Beneath the Surface!

Within the pages of the Bible God has placed pictures of the promise that He made to Adam in Eden. This is the Gospel, the good news that a Savior would come and restore to man what the Devil had stolen. These pictures can be found beneath the surface of many of the events and personages of the Old Testament. The purpose of this book is to reveal these pictures and to move the reader beyond the historicity and morality of the Word of God, as important as those are, and to show that the Bible is a truly supernatural document without equal in the sacred texts of the worlds religions. It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. Proverbs 25:2

“Wade Davis is a true wayfinder, and these essays offer new insight into his visionary approach to culture, landscape, and the planet he loves as fiercely as any writer working today.”—John Vaillant, author of Fire Weather A timely and eclectic collection from one of the foremost thinkers of our time, “a powerful, penetrating and immensely knowledgeable writer” (The Guardian). The essays in this collection came about during the unhurried months when one who had traveled incessantly was obliged to stay still, even as events flared on all sides in a world that never stops moving. Wade Davis brings his unique cultural perspective to such varied topics as the demonization of coca, the sacred plant of the Inca; the Great War and the birth of modernity; the British conquest of Everest; the endless conflict in the Middle East; reaching beyond climate fear and trepidation; on the meaning of the sacred. His essay, “The Unraveling of America,” first published in Rolling Stone, attracted five million readers and generated 362 million social media impressions. Media interest in the story was sustained over many weeks, with interview requests coming in from 23 countries. The anthropological lens, as Davis demonstrates, reveals what lies beneath the surface of things, allowing us to see, and to seek, the wisdom of the middle way, a perspective of promise and hope that all of the essays in this collection aspire to convey. “Wade Davis has a gift for saying the unsayable. He’s a fearless explorer in the intellectual world, as in the physical. His refusal to embrace conventional wisdom on climate change, for example, and instead think through the issue for himself, is a model of independent thinking. Even when I disagree with Wade, as with some of his bleak comments about the United States, I’m grateful for his voice. We usually live on the surface of ideas when we talk about issues such as war and racism; Wade takes us far deeper.”—David Ignatius, columnist and associate editor, Washington Post

This book is intended to: Take the confusion and fear out of named disease by explaining disease in more generic terms. Explain the difference between True healing and disease maintenance. Describe how the cause of disease is ultimately all the same, independent of the individual names (labels) that are given by conventional doctors. Explain why labeling disease is unnecessary, delusive, and even harmful. Help you understand how most disease is not (ultimately) caused by outside forces. Explain how allergies to nutrients contribute to most chronic disease. Describe how all chronic diseases are an accumulation of various toxicities, deficiencies and erroneous programming. Explain how healing is just a matter of erasing (healing) all the many layers of erroneous programming. Inform people of simple healing techniques that reverse allergies and all chronic disease symptoms from the level of causation. Explain the meaning of disease. Help people understand why a diagnosis or the name of their disease should not limit their ability to heal. Expound on the mind-body connection and the importance of healing the emotional (stress) component of disease. Illustrate what you can do to begin taking responsibility for your health, so you can begin your journey of healing today.
