    Religious Studies Made Simple discusses the historical background, beliefs, and practices of religions that influence the world, particular Christianity. The text reviews the development of religion from Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, and Christianity. The Hindu religion is over 3,000 years old and teaches that there are different gods. The author traces the roots of Judaism to Abraham—this is the first religion to teach monotheism. Siddhartha Gautama is the founder of Buddhism, a religion that teaches compassion to all living beings. The author explains that Christianity started as an answer to some Jewish expectation of a messiah. For Christians, Jesus Christ is regarded as the savior. The author discusses the Christian approach to issues such as responsibilities to self, to family, to society, and the Christian attitude to war. The author also addresses the ethical problems that medical developments have presented to Christian, as well as discrimination issues such as apartheid. This book is intended for candidates pursuing an A level course in Religious Studies, and students or academicians interested in philosophy, divinity or social studies.

    Syntax and Semantics, Volume 11: Presupposition is a collection of papers presented at a conference held at the University of Kansas in April, 1977. The book contains 16 papers dealing with presupposition, contributed by linguists, philosophers, mathematicians, and computer scientists. The first paper proposes formal criteria for distinguishing among various distinct phenomena indiscriminately called "presupposition" in recent literature. The paper also provides excellent and authoritative background information. A set of papers attempts to differentiate diverse phenomena lumped together under the cover term "presupposition" and to supply some sort of strategy for justifying the classification of each of these phenomena. The text closes with a paper that elucidates context and contextual domain. The parallel he drawn between the two is especially fruitful in that it is able to resolve the problem of discourse reference on independently justified grounds. Linguists and language experts will find the book very interesting.

    From Project to Production discusses the plans and development of an engineering project in any industry which yields or uses engineering plant of any kind. The book defines the concept behind project engineering and it also describes the administrative procedure involved in the completion of a project. It provides guidelines in order to effectively evaluate and monitor the progress of a project. The text demonstrates the important role of an industrial designer. Topics such as machine element analysis and synthesis, circuit calculations, design and drafting are explained in detail. Types of method of scheduling such as the C.P.M (critical path method), M.O.S.T (management operation system), R.A.M.P.S (resource allocation and multi-project scheduling), and P.E.R.T (programme evaluation and review technique) are discussed and analyzed. A section of the book describes the characteristics of a good engineering design. It also provides some design techniques. The book will provide useful information to design engineer, draftsman, and students of engineering.
