    Robertson's Grammar of Greek New Testament is still the pinnacle of Baptist biblical scholarship. A time-proven resource that is an essential part of any Greek New Testament student's library.

    His olfactory sense would make a hyena laugh, his sense of touch is inferior to that of a whirligig beetle. This unbalance, the author believes, was brought on in no small degree by the sort of clothes we wear, and the misconceptions attached to them. In our society, the naked body is believed to be incomplete--a body minus clothes. It is the packaged body that we take for the man and the woman. Regarding as we do our body coverings a utility or a convention, we generally ignore their powers to stimulate the nervous system.To better size up the causes of our sensual atrophy, the author sets out to examine the maze of prejudices and inhibitions that entrap the human body. He appraises woman's emotional need to reveal her charms, and the role of shame traditionally imposed on her. He comments on the American's infatuation with the female breast (a consequence, he suspects, of the national habit of drinking milk long after infancy); he draws attention to that little understood expedient of dress, the décolletage, especially its lesser known forms, the artful tear and the multiple windows for breasts, elbow tips and knee caps. Nor does he forget the codpiece, tabooed in our days of uncertain masculinity.A short review of deformations and mutilations, from ritual head flattening to the addiction to biting off one's lover's eyelashes, leads to another fascinating subject, usually passed over in silence, the enjoyment of discomfort. Hair shirts and assorted penitential garments are discussed as tools of self-gratification, and so is women's captive footgear--the stilts, portable pedestals and high-heeled shoes. For want of corsets and hobbleskirts, today, Mr. Rudofsky maintains, we seek sources of voluptuous sensations in multiple belts, straps, and playful riggings of cords and chains.Occasionally, agreeable fantasies are induced by fancy dress and by epidermal contact with garments symbolizing erotic savoir-faire. Yet, asks the author, has there ever been a psychiatrist known to employ sartorial therapy, that is, to prescribe disguises for his patients, to lessen their real or imagined sufferings? Although he is chary of prophesies on the post-paradisiacal Adam and Eve's full rehabilitation, he does hold out hope for a happier relationship between mind and body.Contents: 9 Foreword15 The birth of clothes25 Anatomy of modesty77 A portfolio of monsters93 The fashionable body125 The decorative arts151 Cut and dry goods175 Dress reform and reform dress199 Sartoriasis237 Garments for two246 Clothes and the artist282 Text references286 Index288 Photographers' credits

    With a comprehensive and extensive new introduction by Colin Gunton, in which the volume is recontextualised, the book can be used as a set text for courses in the history of Christian thought and doctrine as well as supplementary reading for students of continental intellectual history. All the mist significant figures are here, in addition to several lesser known thinkers, with the translations of Barth's major essay 'On the Task of a History of Modern Protestant Theology' and his original German preface of 1946 also included. 'Nobody but Karl Barth could have written this book. It has his footprints all over it: the rhetorical style, the humour, the sheer volume of writing. It is above all an exercise in the history of ideas which is yet resolutely theological; in otherwords it is historical theology in the best sense, a history of theology which uses theological criteria for all the varied judgements that it make.'

    The book was compiled from a series of Heisenberg's lectures on the subject, and it is detailed and accessible enough for anyone interested in the subject. Heisenberg begins with a short history of atomic physics before delving into the theory of the processes and reactions within the atom. Nuclear Physics is an essential book to understanding the atom, giving readers an unparalleled look at nuclear physics from one of the greatest scientific minds of the twentieth century. A controversial WWII figure, Werner Heisenberg was a German physicist. Born in 1901 to an academic family, Heisenberg was interested in scientific and philosophical pursuits from a young age. After graduating from the University of Munich, where he studied under physicist Arthur Sommerfield, Heisenberg went on to establish a career in the study of atomic and particle theory. He won the Nobel Prize in 1932 for his Uncertainty Principle. Heisenberg was one of the top German scientists during World War II, and he worked as the director of the German Uranium Project developing an atomic bomb for Germany. He did not succeed in this effort, however, before the end of the war. He was incarcerated from 1945-46 for his role in the Nazi regime, but in the '50s and '60s, Heisenberg continued to contribute his research to the field of nuclear physics. He retired in 1970 and resided in Munich until his death in 1973.
