Yet it's the unremembered details of people's everyday struggles and successes that have shaped history, and continue to drive the world we know.

Original Sin: Illuminating the Riddle

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Blocher, Henri / Carson, D. A., PUBLISHER: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, This series addresses key issues in the discipline of biblical theology. Scholarly yet entirely accessible to students, pastors, and lay readers, these volumes avoid technical jargon, interact with the best, most relevant literature, and -- above all -- provide clear and creative insights that help thinking Christians better understand the Bible and its application to contemporary life.

A Struggle Worthy of Note: The Engineering and Technological

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wharton, David E., PUBLISHER: Greenwood Press, Not surprisingly, African Americans have faced considerable obstacles in pursuing careers in engineering in the United States.

The struggle for the opportunity and acceptance of African-American participants in the technological arena is a struggle worthy of note. The struggle and the examination of this topic is important because, despite the significance of the topic, it has been minimally explored. A pioneering effort, the book will be of concern to all students of American race relations, higher education, and the history of engineering education.
