In 1993, William Pannell called the evangelical church to account on issues of racial justice. Now, nearly thirty years later, his words are as timely as ever. Both pastoral and prophetic, this new edition will inspire today's readers take a deeper look at the complexities of institutional racism and address the unjust systems that continue to confound us.

(Limelight). Born out of the necessity Pannell recognized during her years of teaching theatre to young people in community centers and public and arts schools, here at last is a collection of monologues and scenes that today's inner-city kids can relate to. Both literally and figuratively, these brief dramatic works speak the language of contemporary pre-teens and teens (ages 8-18), bringing to light the reality of their city lives. Not only for theater instructors and their students, REAL will be useful to counselors, group leaders, teachers working with urban youth and anyone searching for a means of involving young people in discussions important to their lives.

To say, 'War is hell,' is an understatement...war is horrifying. Some of these stories may sound unbelievable, but they are based on real events. Then a sound that rattled me down to my toes; explosions, yelling, whistles, and bugles. Out of the mist came hundreds of screaming ghost-like figures. Sounds were deafening causing me to become disorientated, terrified beyond words at the sight, my heart felt ready to burst. It was hard to comprehend what had just occurred, what I had just done. It happened so fast. I hadn't given much thought of taking a life, yet in a matter of seconds, I'd taken several. It was mind numbing. War was nothing like I'd ever imagined, it was loud, gruesome and ugly and I was aghast with fear.Dreams to Nightmares is the sometimes awe inspiring, sometimes harrowing stories of a Vietnam veteran. Encompassing the optimism of boot camp to the horrors of the battlefield; it captures a living hell where a miracle will happen one instant then the ghastly work of the devil the next. To the aftermath of a silent, unwelcome homecoming, the struggle and pain of PTSD, and the search for peace and happiness.

A comprehensive, nonmathematical guide to the practical application of linear programming models—for students and professionals in any field From finding the least-cost method for manufacturing a given product to determining the most profitable use for a given resource, there are countless practical applications for linear programming models. This self-contained book and disk set provides everything you need to know to apply linear programming to real-world situations—how to prepare input, how to interpret output, what to do if the model will not solve, and how to make your results useful and usable—while entrusting the hard-core arithmetic to the user-friendly computer package on disk. Written in clear prose that stays away from the complex mathematics underlying the technique, Introduction to Practical Linear Programming contains: A complete introduction to problem structure, assumptions, applications, and other core concepts A detailed, step-by-step guide to model construction (from a problem description to a useful model) and interpretation of output Linear programming examples and exercises from a range of real-life areas, including agriculture, manufacturing, finance, and advertising Important techniques for troubleshooting and error identification Procedures for testing how good your model is—how robust are the results?—and more System.
