Condition: Used. In a world rife with existential musings and philosophical debates that could make a clam clam up, "Objections To Christian Belief" by Mackinson, Williams, Vidler, and Bezzant emerges like a curmudgeonly uncle at a family gathering, ready to challenge every half-baked notion of faith while sipping a lukewarm cup of tea. Published in the hazy, post-war haze of 1963 by Constable & Company Ltd, this tome seems to embody the intellectual spirit of the era, when thinkers were more concerned about questioning everything than deciding what to have for dinner. One can only imagine the earnest conversations held in dimly-lit university lecture halls as students huddled around their copies, eagerly anticipating their turn to object to the objectors. The authors, a veritable committee of the curious, take turns unearthing the dusty objections to Christian belief that have been tossed about like an old football at a charity match. They tackle the heavyweights of faith and doubt, armed with wit sharp enough to slice through the thick fog of dogma. One cannot help but feel that, while reading, you might need a sturdy cup of Earl Grey at the ready to fortify your resolve against the onslaught of intellectual rigour. As you navigate the pages filled with arguments that seem to leap off the paper, demanding a rebuttal (not unlike a particularly persistent door-to-door salesman), you?ll encounter a variety of intriguing positions, ranging from the straightforward to the positively labyrinthine. Were the authors lounging in tweed jackets, pipe smoke wafting through the air, when they penned their observations? Or perhaps they were frantically typing away in a coffee shop, fueled by an excessive caffeine intake and a burning desire to challenge the status quo? One can only ponder. A mind-bending exploration of belief that might just have you questioning your own worldview. Arguments presented with such flair that you might forget you?re reading about religion. Perfect for those who enjoy a side of sarcasm with their serious discussions. Features enough paradoxes to keep even the most seasoned logician scratching their head. Offers a delightful mix of academic rigor and cheeky irreverence. For those who thought the 1960s were merely a time of flower power and dodgy fashion choices, "Objections To Christian Belief" serves as a reminder that intellectual rebellion was just as prevalent. It?s almost as if the authors were declaring, "Let?s not just accept what we?ve been told; instead, let?s poke and prod at it until it squeals." And they do so with a somewhat grandiose flair that might leave you chuckling in disbelief at their audacity. Condition: Used ? a little worn around the edges, much like the writers? own faith in humanity. Expect some highlights and marginalia, as though previous readers have added their own objections to the margins?perhaps in the hope of summoning a spirited debate from beyond the grave. The cover bears the marks of time, but it also speaks of the countless minds that have turned its pages, each wrestling with the same questions that continue to swirl about like autumn leaves on a blustery day. If you find yourself questioning the very pillars of belief and are feeling a bit cheeky about it, this book might just be your new best friend?or your most formidable opponent. Grab a copy from Crappy Old Books, where each title carries with it a history of previous owners who may or may not have been burned at the stake for their thoughts. Who knows? You might just be inspired to engage in a bit of philosophical sparring of your own!

Hardcover. Condition: New. So many railroaders and managers thought that the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads would merge that quite a few locomotives and some cabooses were prepared for the merger by being painted in a new merger-ready paint scheme. The Reagan administration rejected the merger as anti-competitive. The selected paint scheme was colorful and attractive. Since the merger was not approved, the paint scheme did not last long. Quite a few photographs show the equipment freshly painted or still in excellent condition. The equipment wasnt around long enough to get grungy. The Southern Pacific Railroad and Santa Fe Railway were so sure their proposed merger would be approved by the Federal Government, that they went ahead and painted over 400 locomotives in the new companys paint scheme. The merger never happened, but their wishful thinking resulted in a colorful and unique period in the history of these two venerable railroads.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book is about the ongoing transition of fisheries governance, from top-down command and control towards a more transparent and participatory form. It focuses on the emergence of research practices and advice frameworks that allow co-creation of common knowledge bases for management. Drawing from 8 years of research in GAP, a two-stage 7th framework EU project, the book offers a critical examination of how knowledge practices in fisheries governance are changing. The entry point for this research is a series of practical experiments in the unchartered terrain of collaborative research. To gain insight into the ongoing transition in European fisheries management, GAP initiated and carried out 13 Case Studies in different settings across Europe. In each case study, a team of fishers and marine scientists worked together to identify, plan and implement research projects intended to make a difference. The cases vary. They take on different management issues and shape the collaborationsin different ways. The extent to which they succeed in realizing their objectives also differs. They are all contributing important insights into the possibilities of co-creating knowledge for management purposes. The book delves into the individual experiences of each case study as well as the lessons they contribute as a whole. The examination concludes that while research partnerships are not always easy to establish, they are an important step towards better fisheries governance. Without a common knowledge base for fisheries governance, co-created through collaborative research practices, sustainable fisheries will remain out of reach. Drawing from 8 years of research in GAP, a two-stage 7th framework EU project, the book offers a critical examination of how knowledge practices in fisheries governance are changing. Without a common knowledge base for fisheries governance, co-created through collaborative research practices, sustainable fisheries will remain out of reach.

Hardcover. Condition: New. There is a long list of photographers whose work was selected for this title which features the first-generation diesels of the minority builders on the roster. Most locomotives are painted in the blue and yellow paint scheme used before the yellow warbonnet. The original delivery paint schemes start out the photographic coverage of each model. Most locomotives were delivered in the black with silver or white stripes paint scheme. Some of these photographs are in B&W as the delivery paint schemes appeared before color film was commonly used by rail enthusiasts. There are quite a few pictures of the ALCO PAs. That locomotive was in my opinion just a neat looking locomotive and in silver with a red warbonnet is sharp. There are only 3 pictures which are small of the Erie-builts which didnt last long on the roster. Most pictures were taken in California but a number of pictures at Dearborn Station highlight the station switchers of ALCO and Fairbanks-Morse.
