Convergences: Message, Method, Medium

Robert Atwan

Bedford/St. Martin's, 2004

Great Text!
I used this book for an English 101 class during my freshman year of college. This book inspired a composition class that I enjoyed thoroughly. Never had I had so much fun writing and analyzing before in a class. I would strongly recommend this text for any ...

Ricky Tims' Convergence Quilts: Mysterious, Magical, Easy, and Fun

Ricky Tims

C&T Publishing, 2003

WOW
This is the easiest assembly I have ever done. I used leftovers, two colors I hated, and one of those "What was I thinking when I bought that?" psychadelic squares... Well, the end result was FAB-U-Lous. The directions are very clear, Ricky's writing is enjoyable. ...

The Science of God: The Convergence of Scientific and Biblical Wisdom

Gerald L. Schroeder

Broadway Books, 1998

Wow
I read this book years ago, but I still think it is the best book I've ever read. This book is very interesting. I'm not sure that I agree with everything in it, but the point seems to be to get you thinking outside of our current time. This book is very much ...

The Complete User's Guide to the Amazing Amazon Kindle (Join 40,000 Kindle owners who've downloaded this ...

Harvard Perspectives Press (hppress.blogspot.com), 2007

Kindle info
I bought a Kindle for my mother for Christmas and decided to get her this book to help her learn how to use it. It helps that she has a book to read and explain how to use the Kindle, instead of reading on the machine itself and not knowing what you are doing. By ...

Everything That Rises: A Book of Convergences

Lawrence Weschler

McSweeney's, 2007

Emergence through convergence
For its strange and compelling originality, I gave this book five stars. Author Lawrence Weschler's visual connections are unlike anything I have ever been exposed to. And it was because of this work, that when I was compiling photos for my parents' 50th wedding ...

The Universe in a Single Atom: The Convergence of Science and Spirituality

Dalai Lama

Broadway, 2006

An Amazing Book
This book is for anyone who has questions about where and how spirituality and science intersect.

Winning on Purpose: How to Organize Congregations to Succeed in Their Mission (Convergence Ebook Series)

John Edmund Kaiser

Abingdon Press, 2006

One of the Best Church Organizational Books I've Read
I now rank "Winning on Purpose" among the top 10 books on church organizational life that I've read. The foundational premise is that Christians are to make disciples of Jesus. The way a local church organizes for ministry can hinder or assist in that mission. ...

Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide (Revised with a New Afterword)

Henry Jenkins

NYU Press, 2008

Focused on Media, Art, Culture, Less So on Social Networks
I come late to this book, published in 2006. I do not regret it. It is a bit too focused on media, art, and "culture" for me, but I cannot penalize the author for being a master of arcane tid-bits. This book is a collection of previously published articles reworked ...

Environmental Ethics: Divergence and Convergence

Susan Armstrong, Richard Botzler

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2003

An Excellent introduction to key environmental debates
A very useful undergraduate level reader in environmental ethics. I use it in the course I teach in the UK. It would also make a good tool for self-teaching or for self-led small group study. For each chapter of readings there are discussion topics, an exercise, ...

The Convergence of Race, Ethnicity, and Gender: Multiple Identities in Counseling (3rd Edition)

Tracy Robinson-Wood

Prentice Hall, 2008

Book in Great Shape
Great Book in Super new condition! Shipping in a little over a week. Would buy from again!

Art of Editing in the Age of Convergence, The (9th Edition)

Allyn & Bacon, 2008

The Art of Editing continues to be the standard by which editing texts are judged, offering the most comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of editing available. Traditional newspaper editing forms the foundation of the text, while attention is also placed on the other areas in which journalists are increasingly finding jobs: online media, ...

Dominant-Minority Relations in America: Convergence in the New World (2nd Edition)

Allyn & Bacon, 2006

Everything they said it'd be
I recieved the item in a very timely manner, and it matched the description exactly. This user is greeted with a very warm welcome to the Amazon community, and we can look forward to good business from them in the future. Thank you!

Evolution from Creation to New Creation: Conflict, Conversation, and Convergence

Ted Peters, Martinez Hewlett

Abingdon Press, 2003

Outstanding survey of the theistic evolutionist position
This book may not be exceptionally detailed on everything it addresses, but it is by far the best survey of the issues pertaining to theistic evolution that I have yet encountered. Ted Peters and Martinez (a theologian and a scientist) work together in an attempt to ...

Reflections on Exile and Other Essays (Convergences: Inventories of the Present)

Edward W. Said

Harvard University Press, 2002

Criticism at its Best
This collection of essays is a new triumph for Said whose exceptional energy and courage should be an example for all of us. Ever since he was diagnosed with cancer, he has been engaged in a Proustian race against time producing such compelling works as "Culture and ...

Strategies for the New Health Care Marketplace: Managing the Convergence of Consumerism & Technology

Dean C. Coddington, Keith D. Moore, ...

Jossey-Bass, 2001

Another excellent book from Coddington, et. al.
This book is a must-read for health care managers struggling to understand how consumerism and technology will affect their organizations. The authors take up where they left off in their prophetic "Beyond Managed Care" with a set of practical strategies for the next ...
