Hope [June Hunt Hope for the Heart Series] by June Hunt Hope [June Hunt Hope for the Heart Series] by June Hunt PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad When trouble knocks you off of your feet, hope also seems to be swept away. To regain a hopeful outlook on life is not difficult or complicated. All it requires is a shift in focus. Ship anchors are often used as a Christian symbol to represent Christ, who provides security to believers, holding them secure no matter the severity of the storm. When you have Christ as your anchor, rather than drowning in despair, you are held secure in His hope. There are many causes of hopelessness, the most common is placing our confidence on things that can fail: money, health, beauty, and status. Painful circumstances such as divorce or a rebellious child cause us to lose hope in God's will, but our hope in God should not be based on other people or circumstances. God wants to work out His purposes for you and ultimately give you peace that passes all under...

Multiscale Modeling of Pedestrian Dynamics (MS&A) by Emiliano Cristiani, Benedetto Piccoli, Andrea Tosin Multiscale Modeling of Pedestrian Dynamics (MS&A) by Emiliano Cristiani, Benedetto Piccoli, Andrea Tosin PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad This book presents mathematical models and numerical simulations of crowd dynamics. The core topic is the development of a new multiscale paradigm, which bridges the microscopic and macroscopic scales taking the most from each of them for capturing the relevant clues of complexity of crowds. The background idea is indeed that most of the complex trends exhibited by crowds are due to an intrinsic interplay between individual and collective behaviors. The modeling approach promoted in this book pursues actively this intuition and profits from it for designing general mathematical structures susceptible of application also in fields different from the inspiring original one. The book considers also the two most traditional points of view: the microsc...

Guns and Violence: The English Experience by Joyce Lee Malcolm Guns and Violence: The English Experience by Joyce Lee Malcolm PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad Behind the passionate debate over gun control and armed crime lurk assumptions about the link between guns and violence. Indeed, the belief that more guns in private hands means higher rates of armed crime underlies most modern gun control legislation. But are these assumptions valid? Investigating the complex and controversial issue of the real relationship between guns and violence, Joyce Lee Malcolm presents an incisive, thoroughly researched historical study of England, whose strict gun laws and low rates of violent crime are often cited as proof that gun control works. To place the private ownership of guns in context, Malcolm offers a wide-ranging examination of English society from the Middle Ages to the late twentieth century, analyzing changing attitudes toward crime and punishment, the impact of war, economic shifts, and contra...
