In this interesting and well written book, Lapavitsas and Cakiroglu tell the unlikely story of the emergence of industrial capitalism in Ottoman Macedonia during the decades before World War I. They show how, despite the conditions of free trade, Jewish and Greek entrepreneurs made use of the existing natural resources as well as state policies to create a large industrial base in cotton spinning and wool weaving. It was not easy, however, to sustain this effort in an environment dominated by mostly small scale agriculture and in the age of rising nationalisms. There are important lessons in this insightful account also for those interested in the theoretical aspects of the rise of industrial capitalism.

This is a book to be read by theologians and scientists alike. Using C. S. Lewis as his guide, Collins brilliantly synthesizes ideas from modern linguistics to show what the much-debated opening chapters of Genesis do say and what they don’t. Taking these chapters of Genesis as the introduction to the big story of the Bible, meant to shape the worldview of ancient Israel and their heirs (the church), Collins credibly argues that interpreting these chapters as ancient science is misguided and rooted in the mistaken idea that scientific language is the most accurate and therefore the most truthful kind of discourse. I highly recommend this book to fellow scientists as it has deepened my own understanding of the frontiers of biblical scholarship, increased my appreciation for the complexity of textual interpretation, and invited me to develop a much more nuanced understanding of the features of Genesis 1–11 and their relation to science.

"Your Money Ratios is a no-nonsense, comprehensive resource for those ready to grab the reins of personal finance once and for all."  -Bookpage  "Your Money Ratios by Charles Farrell (Avery, $26). Why not manage your family finances as you would a business? Farrell is a money manager who makes a convincing argument for that approach. He uses rations more common in the business world, such as the debt-to-equity ratio and the capital to income ratio so that readers can figure out how they are really doing. The book is direct and numbers-focused, and offers answers to questions like "How much should I be saving?" and "How much insurance do I need?"  -Reuters "Charles Farrell, an investment adviser in Denver, has long written about financial planning. In particular, he has developed, in recent years, some of the smartest tools we've seen for gauging the health of your nest egg. Now, he has combined these calculators with additional guidelines in a new book, Your Money Ratios: Eight Simple Tools for Financial Security. Mr. Farrell uses easy-to-understand ratios to help individuals manage savings, debt, investments and insurance, all with the goal of achieving a secure retirement. In short, one of the best financial books to cross our desks this year."  -Wall Street Journal  "What I like about the use of ratios is that it imposes discipline on emotional spending decisions. When you do the math based on specific goals, real household income and exact time frames related to age, it becomes crystal clear that you really can't afford to blow out the back of your home or expand the kitchen, no matter how attractive or tax-deductible the financing may be."  -Laura Rowley, Yahoo Finance  "Everyone wants to know, 'Am I on the right track?' Thanks to Charlie Farrell and his delightfully simple Money Ratios, the answers are just a few pages away."  -Jonathan Clements, author of The Little Book of Main Street Money

When Oxford Dictionaries named post-truth its word of the year in 2016, it didn’t seem too severe of a surprise. Our culture, and thus, our conversations have slowly slid under the rule of feeling, opinion, and subjectivity. In Saving Truth, Abdu Murray unfolds the history of our post-truth culture, points out its consequences, and calls us to anchor in the Living One who Himself is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. This resource will help you live freely in Jesus, the Truth who is unchanging, while equipping you with helpful language and tools to dialogue within a culture that largely celebrates its departure from truth.

A once-common hymn declared that those who know the old, old story best long to hear it like the rest. Kapic’s book demonstrates that one who knows the gospel well can tell Jesus’ story very, very well---so well that we will delight to be owned by the One who gave himself for us.

Praise for The House War Series: &ldquo;The magic feels truly magical.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly &#160; &ldquo;Richly and superbly detailed.&#160;Her characters live and sing.&rdquo; &mdash;Examiner&#160; &ldquo;This story will go down as one of the best novels in its genre, propelling West&#160;into the ranks of Robin Hobb and George R.R.
