Principles of Glacier Mechanics
The third edition of this successful textbook will supply advanced undergraduate and graduate students with the tools they need to understand modern glaciological research. Practicing glacial geologists and glaciologists will also find the volume useful as a reference book. Since the second edition, three-quarters of the chapters have been updated, and two new chapters have been added. Included in this edition are noteworthy new contributions to our understanding of important concepts, with over 170 references to papers published since the second edition went to press. The book develops concepts from the bottom up: a working knowledge of calculus is assumed, but beyond that, the important physical concepts are developed from elementary principles. Emphasis is placed on connections between modern research in glaciology and the origin of features of glacial landscapes. Student exercises are included.

Baptizing Alternative Medicine
Are alternative medicine and Christianity natural allies or rivals? They share a surprising number of basic features, yet it is frequently assumed that they are automatically in conflict. Many thoughtful Christians are intrigued by alternative medicine but wonder if there are sound theological reasons to avoid it. Does one risk Hell by receiving acupuncture for tennis elbow? Baptizing Alternative Medicine addresses these concerns. It examines alternative medicine while avoiding the polarized positions which have frequently marked the debate. When one evaluates complementary and alternative therapies with careful attention to both spirituality and science, it becomes clear that though there are real dangers in some therapies, there are also real benefits which are worth pursuing. The book covers the major alternative therapies, analyzing the available scientific evidence and any theological concerns.
