# data[].attributes.description
Proems, taut tales, small stories with rhythm and blues and grace and bruise and laughter between the lines. Brian Doyles The Kind of Brave You Wanted to Be is a book of cadenced notes on the swirl of miracle and the holy of attentiveness; a book about children and birds, love and grief and everything alive, which is to say all prayers.

The contribution of monks to the evangelization of lands not yet reached by the preaching of the Gospel has certainly been remarkable. The specific witness that the monastic community gives is of a radical Christian life naturally radiating outward, and thus it is implicitly missionary. The process of inculturation of Christian monasticism in China required a bold spiritual attitude of openness to the future and a willingness to accept the transformation of monastic forms that had been received. In Christian Monks on Chinese Soil, Matteo Nicolini-Zani highlights the willingness of foreign monks to encounter the cultural and spiritual realities of China and the degree of acceptance by the Chinese of the form of monastic life that was presented to them by the missionaries.

Many readers are convinced that the Psalms are hopelessly masculine, especially given that seventy-three of the 150 psalms begin with headings linking them to King David. In this volume, Denise Dombkowski Hopkins sets stories about women in the Hebrew Bible alongside Psalms 4289 as intertexts for interpretation. The stories of women such as Hannah, Rahab, Tamar, Bathsheba, Susanna, Judith, Shiphrah, Puah, and the Levites concubine can generate a different set of associations for psalm metaphors than have traditionally been put forward. These different associations can give the reader different views of the dynamics of power, gender, politics, religion, family, and economics in ancient Israel and in our lives today that might help to name and transform the brokenness of our world. From the Wisdom Commentary series  Feminist biblical interpretation has reached a level of maturity that now makes possible a commentary series on every book of the Bible. It is our hope that Wisdom Commentary, by making the best of current feminist biblical scholarship available in an accessible format to ministers, preachers, teachers, scholars, and students, will aid all readers in their advancement toward Gods vision of dignity, equality, and justice for all. The aim of this commentary is to provide feminist interpretation of Scripture in serious, scholarly engagement with the whole text, not only those texts that explicitly mention women. A central concern is the world in front of the text, that is, how the text is heard and appropriated by women. At the same time, this commentary aims to be faithful to the ancient text, to explicate the world behind the text, where appropriate, and not impose contemporary questions onto the ancient texts. The commentary addresses not only issues of gender (which are primary in this project) but also those of power, authority, ethnicity, racism, and classism, which all intersect. Each volume incorporates diverse voices and differing interpretations from different parts of the world, showing the importance of social location in the process of interpretation and that there is no single definitive feminist interpretation of a text.

OverviewNo previous works have focused on the topic of inventory reduction and optimization to the extent that this one does. Spare Parts Inventory Management: A Complete Guide to SparesologyTM by Philip Slater covers the whole parts life cycle, from initial purchase to final disposal, and addresses issues throughout, including maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO). The author, Phillip Slater, was described in a recent podcast as truly one of the leaders in the MRO information segment.Sparesology is a term coined by Slater to describe the discipline of optimizing the physical, financial, and human resource management processes of spare parts inventory management. Sparesology is much more than just inventory optimization. It involves an understanding of the complete ecosystem, within which the spare parts inventory is managed, and seeks to ensure that all of the factors influencing this management work together to achieve an organizations goals.

Diese Didaktik ist aus der Praxis entstanden und ist das Ergebnis von langjahrigen Unterrichtserfahrungen in allen Altersstufen des Gymnasiums, der berufsbegleitenden Informatiklehrerausbildung sowie der universitaren Lehre. Das Buch besteht aus einem kompakten theoretischen Teil, gefolgt von vier Kapiteln mit zahlreichen Beispielen, die aus dem Unterricht entstanden und gut erprobt sind.  Schulinformatik ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil einer zeitgemaen Allgemeinbildung. Das technische Fach ermoglicht durch seine Inhalte, Methoden und Werkzeuge einen schuleraktivierenden, produktorientierten Unterricht. Die Beispiele sollen einen Eindruck von diesem Vorgehen vermitteln. In ihrer Menge bilden sie eine Art Ideensammlung fur kreativen Unterricht.  Das Buch begrundet die Schulinformatik als allgemeinbildendes Fach, das durch sechs fundamentale Ideen gepragt ist. Aus diesen werden Kompetenzbereiche abgeleitet, die sich alters-, schul- und landerspezifisch konkretisieren lassen. In den folgenden Kapiteln werden die Themenbereiche der Schulinformatik den Oberthemen Informatik und Gesellschaft, informatischen Grundlagen, Programmieren und Methodik zugeordnet.  Die Autoren beschreiben eine Informatik fur alle" und verwenden dafur diverse Varianten grafischer Programmiersprachen. Die meisten Beispiele im Buch werden durch Skripte grafischer Sprachen erlautert, die hier als Medium zur Verdeutlichung informatischer Konzepte dienen.

Unleash the power and flexibility of the Bayesian framework

About This Book

* Simplify the Bayes process for solving complex statistical problems using Python; 
* Tutorial guide that will take the you through the journey of Bayesian analysis with the help of sample problems and practice exercises; 
* Learn how and when to use Bayesian analysis in your applications with this guide.

Who This Book Is For

Students, researchers and data scientists who wish to learn Bayesian data analysis with Python and implement probabilistic models in their day to day projects. Programming experience with Python is essential. No previous statistical knowledge is assumed.

What You Will Learn

* Understand the essentials Bayesian concepts from a practical point of view
* Learn how to build probabilistic models using the Python library PyMC3
* Acquire the skills to sanity-check your models and modify them if necessary
* Add structure to your models and get the advantages of hierarchical models
* Find out how different models can be used to answer different data analysis questions 
* When in doubt, learn to choose between alternative models.
* Predict continuous target outcomes using regression analysis or assign classes using logistic and softmax regression.
* Learn how to think probabilistically and unleash the power and flexibility of the Bayesian framework

In Detail

The purpose of this book is to teach the main concepts of Bayesian data analysis. We will learn how to effectively use PyMC3, a Python library for probabilistic programming, to perform Bayesian parameter estimation, to check models and validate them. This book begins presenting the key concepts of the Bayesian framework and the main advantages of this approach from a practical point of view. Moving on, we will explore the power and flexibility of generalized linear models and how to adapt them to a wide array of problems, including regression and classification. We will also look into mixture models and clustering data, and we will finish with advanced topics like non-parametrics models and Gaussian processes. With the help of Python and PyMC3 you will learn to implement, check and expand Bayesian models to solve data analysis problems.
