Fiction, poetry, prose, and illustration by fourteen Tsunami Books clerks and fourteen significant others. A retrospective, a showcase, and a thank you to the people who, for twenty-seven years, have helped build an independent bookstore and community events center in Eugene, Oregon—and now, also, a new press in a new era. After a quarter century of bookselling and hard-won stewardship, our shelves bear fruit.

A distinguished group of authors here illuminate a broad spectrum of themes in the history of biblical interpretation. Originally published in 1990, these essays take as their common ground the thesis that the intellectual and religious life of the sixteenth century cannot be understood without attention to the preoccupation of sixteenth-century humanists and theologians with the interpretation of the Bible. Topics explored include Jewish exegesis and problems of Old Testament interpretati...

A New Ecology presents an ecosystem theory based on the following ecosystem properties: physical openness, ontic openness, directionality, connectivity, a complex dynamic for growth and development, and a complex dynamic response to disturbances. Each of these properties is developed in detail to show that these basic and characteristic properties can be applied to explain a wide spectrum of ecological obsevations and convections. It is also shown that the properties have application for e...

La médecine foetale réalise une synthèse du savoir et des moyens de chacun des spécialistes au service d'un enfant à naître porteur d'une pathologie.Si chaque spécialiste a une connaissance approfondie d'un type de pathologie, cela ne suffit pourtant pas pour l'appréhender correctement car il faut l'inscrire dans le contexte du foetus. Les explorations prénatales sont donc spécifiques à la médecine foetale : prélèvements, imagerie, biologie, génétique. Cette 2e édition rassemble pour l'obs...

To endow computers with common sense is one of the major long-term goals of Artificial Intelligence research. One approach to this problem is to formalize commonsense reasoning using mathematical logic. Commonsense Reasoning is a detailed, high-level reference on logic-based commonsense reasoning. It uses the event calculus, a highly powerful and usable tool for commonsense reasoning, which Erik T. Mueller demonstrates as the most effective tool for the broadest range of applications. He p...
