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.

The Handbook of Mathematical Economics aims to provide a definitive source, reference, and teaching supplement for the field of mathematical economics. It surveys, as of the late 1970's the state of the art of mathematical economics. This is a constantly developing field and all authors were invited to review and to appraise the current status and recent developments in their presentations. In addition to its use as a reference, it is intended that this Handbook will assist researchers and students working in one branch of mathematical economics to become acquainted with other branches of this field.Volume 2 elaborates on Mathematical Approaches to Microeconomic Theory, including consumer, producer, oligopoly, and duality theory, as well as Mathematical Approaches to Competitive Equilibrium including such aspects of competitive equilibrium as existence, stability, uncertainty, the computation of equilibrium prices, and the core of an economy.For more information on the Handbooks in Economics series, please see our home page on http://www.elsevier....

Syntax and Semantics, Volume 15: Studies in Transitivity provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of the study of transitivity. This book discusses how to present events and situations with respect to their participants, and the grammatical consequences of such decisions. Organized into 21 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the grammar and pragmatics of actions and their participants. This text then examines one aspect of the syntactic resolution of clause-internal coreference. Other chapters consider that clauses with more highly transitive components are more likely to be coded as transitive than those with fewer transitive components. This book discusses as well the assumption that French causative sentences may receive either an active or a passive interpretation. The final chapter deals with two types of two-argument sentences in Japanese. This book is a valuable resource for linguists and scholars pursuing questions of discourse, language topology, universal grammar, semantics, and grammatical description and theory.
