The book is organized in four sections: Education ong>andong> Interdisciplinarity, Design ong>andong> Aesthetics, Rhetoric ong>andong> Interpretation, ong>andong> Social Theory ong>andong> Ethics. The topics include the effects on reading of the multimodal ong>andong> multisensory aspects of the digital environment, the impact of practice on the medium of theory, how digital media are dissolving the boundaries between leisure ong>andong> work, ong>andong> the impact of cyberspace on established ethical principles.

He concludes that the conventional wisdom on the subject is suspect on a number of grounds, that ong>globalong> warming is not the devastating threat to the planet it is widely alleged to be, ong>andong> that the remedy that is currently being proposed, which is in any event politically unattainable, would be worse that the threat it is supposed to avert. Argued with logic, common sense, ong>andong> even wit, ong>andong> thoroughly sourced ong>andong> referenced, Lawson has written a long overdue corrective to the barrage of spin ong>andong> hype to which the politicians ong>andong> media have been subjecting the public on this important issue.

Re-examines missionary history to provide examples of how Christians have engaged across religious boundaries in the past--among them, Paul's letters, the Acts of Thomas, the colonial ong>encountersong> of Christopher Columbus ong>andong> Bartolome de las Casas, the missionary engagements of Francis Xavier, Roberto DeNobili, ong>andong> Matteo Ricci, ong>andong> modern missions in Africa
