Buchanan, a Canadian minister, works with readers to move past what he calls the "spiritual plateau"--the point at which one's faith becomes stagnant. Using his own experience as a guide, he urges an enthusiastic "breaking free" from spiritual boredom.
Why do catastrophes happen? What sets off earthquakes, for example? What about mass extinctions of species? The outbreak of major wars? Massive traffic jams that seem to appear out of nowhere? Why does the stock market periodically suffer dramatic crashes? Why do some forest fires become superheated infernos that rage totally out of control? ...
Buchanan's third book continues his penetrating exploration of the God Christians worship. Bravely and honestly, he poses the direst question of human existence: Can God be trusted?
Widely acclaimed author Mark Buchanan shares with readers a treasure from Scripture that the vast majority overlook, a treasure that has been hidden in plain sight, that can finally move a person beyond his or her old life and into a brand new life.
With this book, Buchanan reminds readers of the Sabbath's true purpose--to heal, to feed, to rescue, to celebrate, to lavish, and to relish life abundantly. He gives practical advice for restoring the Sabbath in Christians' lives.
This "cogent and engaging" ("Nature") work presents the fundamental principles of the emerging field of "small-worlds" theory--the idea that a hidden pattern is the key to how networks interact and exchange information, whether that network is the information highway or the firing of neurons in the brain.
A science journalist explores universality, a concept of theoretical physics which holds that chaotic events (World War I) and disastrous physical phenomena (the 1988 Yellowstone Fire) happen because elements have reached a 'critical state' that leads to the collapse of structure. His examples amply demonstrate that these critical states can not ...
Blending pastoral warmth, philosophical depth, storytelling skill, and literary craft, Buchanan encourages Christians to make heaven our Rfixation, S filling our visions, gripping our hearts, and anchoring our hopes. He reawakens the instinctive yearning for things above, showing that only the heavenly minded are of much earthly good. (July)
The idiosyncrasies of human decision-making have confounded economists and social theorists for years. If each person makes choices for personal (and often irrational) reasons, how can people's choices be predicted by a single theory? How can "any" economic, social, or political theory be valid? The truth is, none of them really are. Mark ...
With pastoral warmth, thoughtful depth, rich storytelling, and literary craft, Mark Buchanan inspires you to make heaven your fixation. Find fearlessness in this world as you yearn for the next!
Most of us have had the experience of running into a friend of a friend far away from home - and feeling that the world is somehow smaller than it should be. We usually write off such unlikely encounters as coincidence, even though it seems to happen with uncanny frequency. According to a handful of physicists at Los Alamos and other cutting-edge ...
By a major science writer, "The Social Atom" explains - and even predicts - human behaviour and decision-making through the lens of physics. How do trends in fashions begin? Why do traffic jams appear on unobstructed road? Why do financial markets behave in a way that consistently confounds economists? Why do we end up living in racially ...
Deals with four themes: common law and its rivals, the growth in parliamentary authority, the assertion of royal authority, and royal authority and the governed.
Representing nothing less than a tour-de-force of formal invention and emotional intensity, Oni Buchanan's "Spring" encompasses radically contrasting work. Ecstatic, visually intricate rhapsodies are juxtaposed with tight, sonnet-like poems, and wispy columns of verse brush up against large-scale epics and kinetic text. This collection's point of ...
This special issue illustrates benefits to animals from positive reinforcement training (PRT) and--depending on the setting--to scientists, animal care staff, veterinarians, and in the case of the zoo, the visiting public. One important theme throughout is that training is a joint venture between human and nonhuman primate and can lead to a closer ...
Theological depth with pastoral warmth are offered in this inspiring, first-person "spiritual geography" based on Jonah from Mark Buchanan. Rich with stories, references, and quotes from great -- and simple -- people of faith.
Most of us have had the experience of running into a friend of a friend far away from home - and feeling that the world is somehow smaller than it should be. We usually write off such unlikely encounters as coincidence, even though they seem to happen with uncanny frequency. According to some physicists, it turns out that this 'small-world' ...
