This is the first work on Discrepancy Theory to show the present variety of points of view and applications covering the areas Classical and Geometric Discrepancy Theory, Combinatorial Discrepancy Theory and Applications and Constructions. It consists of several chapters, written by experts in their respective fields and focusing on the different aspects of the theory. Discrepancy theory concerns the problem of replacing a continuous object with a discrete sampling and is currently located at the crossroads of number theory, combinatorics, Fourier analysis, algorithms and complexity, probability theory and numerical analysis. This book presents an invitation to researchers and students to explore the different methods and is meant to motivate interdisciplinary research.
Richard MacMurray, a cable news talking head, is paid handsomely to pontificate on the issues of the moment. On New Year's Day he is scheduled to be a guest on a prominent morning talk show. As he awaits the broadcast, the network interrupts with news that a jet airliner has crashed in Dallas and that everyone aboard has perished. Within an hour, amateur videotape surfaces of the plane's last moments, transforming the crash into a living image: familiar, constant, and horrifying. Richard learns that his sister, Mary Beth, was aboard the doomed flight, leaving behind her six-year-old son, Gabriel. Richard is the boy's only living relative. When he is given an opportunity to bring Gabriel home, it may be that the loss of his sister will provide him with the second chapter he never knew he wanted. In this powerful debut, Steve Kistulentz captures the sprawl of contemporary America -- its culture, its values, the workaday existence of its people -- with kaleidoscopic sweep and controlled intensity. Yet within the expansive scope of Panorama lies an intimate portrait of human loss rendered with precision, humanity, and humor.
When the Altreides family is banished to the desert planet of Dune, they are forced to battle an evil Emperor. Features punch-out characters and vehicles to reenact scenes that pop up as the pages are turned.
The significance of panorama painting in the nineteenth century is frequently cited in contemporary debates about visuality and the emergence of the modern spectator. Stephan Oettermann's The Panorama is the first major historical study to appear in English of the rich phenomenon of the panorama, one of the most influential forms of visual entertainment in the nineteenth century. In this richly illustrated book Oettermann gives readers a concrete sense of the structural and experiential reality of the panorama, and the many forms it took throughout Europe and North America--a crucial task given that very few of the original nineteenth-century panoramas survive. At the same time, he outlines the many ways in which these remarkable and often immense 360-degree images were part of a larger transformation of the status of the observer and of popular culture. Thus, the panorama is treated not only as a new kind of image but also as an architectural and informational component of the new urban spaces and media networks.
“Ron Sanders is able to speak to lay people about the scope of God’s plan for history as the result of many profitable years of study provided by Bible Study Fellowship for “regular people.” God in Imax pulls together the main threads of Scripture in readable form. This book will be welcomed by seasoned Bible students as well as newcomers to the study of God’s Word.” -Jean Nystrand Executive Director, BSF International (Retired) "Sanders surveys the scope of the Bible from a dispensational viewpoint in a single volume. He is to be commended for his work." -Dr. Stanley D. Toussaint Senior Professor Emeritus of Bible Dallas Theological Seminary “For years I have seen Ron Sanders’ passion for God's word, and for the nations as he has partnered with our ministry in Cambodia. We appreciate Ron's heart as he has partnered with a number of our indigenous leaders to see them thrive in Advancing Christ's Kingdom in Cambodia.” -Garth Gustafson Indo-China Regional Director YWAM “I have known Ron Sanders for 20 years, since we first worked together on Okinawa, Japan. He is something of a Christian “father” to my wife and I--trusted friend and wise advisor. I am honored to endorse his scholarly book and pray each reader enjoys it, is challenged, and grows in their understanding and love of our Lord.” -Colonel Cornelius Jacobs (USAF, Ret) Overseas Missionary with Anglican Frontier Missions From the Author In writing, my purpose has been to show that God not only has been active in human history, but also desires a relationship with men and women, and the accounts about Him in the Bible are trustworthy. My wife suggested that something was needed that a present day audience could relate to. She suggested "God in Imax", an all surrounding view of God. Thus the final title: GOD IN IMAX: A Panorama of Divine History. It is our hope that this book will help many to better relate to God.
