Philip Turner se proslavil svými dětskými knihami, které se odehrávají ve fiktivním městě Darnley Mills. Pod pseudonymem Stephen Chance vytvořil sérii detektivních příběhů s postavou reverenda Septima Treloara. Jeho díla se často zaměřují na život v maloměstě a prozkoumávají témata dětství a dospívání. Turnerův styl je známý svou upřímností a schopností vtáhnout mladé čtenáře do příběhu.

This book introduces Christian ethics from a theological perspective. Philip Turner, widely recognized as a leading expert in the field, explores the intersection of moral theology and ecclesiology, arguing that the focus of Christian ethics should not be personal holiness or social reform but the common life of the church. A theology of moral thought and practice must take its cues from the notion that human beings, upon salvation, are redeemed and called into a life oriented around the community of the church. This book distills a senior scholar's life work and will be valued by students of Christian ethics, theology, and ecclesiology.
There is widespread recognition that large enrollment introductory classes are a significant problem. Lack of engagement, incongruous learning styles and teaching methods, and high failure/dropout rates are some of the symptoms. Recent developments in accountability at both state and federal levels make addressing the problem even more crucial. The University of North Texas has developed and promulgated a process for redesigning these classes that brings to bear the creativity of the faculty, resulting in higher-level student learning without increasing instructional costs. This groundbreaking book provides the reader with a theoretical foundation for course redesign that employs assessment-driven experiential learning and tools and examples to bring all or part of the process to their campus.

This work examines the rise, fall and re-emergence of Canadian exhibitor, Ciniplex. The text looks at the elements of its theatre circuit, and with the aid of photographs, examined here, too, is an overview of the corporation's fledgling Gallery circuit, Cineplex Odeon's short-lived UK subsidiary.
Today's Warner multiplex theatres, frequently mocked by purists although quite erroneously -- for their supposed clinical, futuristic appearance; their close corporate similarity; and somewhat 'factory-like' methods of exhibition, are examined in this book. The book examines 'identifying features of the theatre circuit, evaluating specifically their architectural and amenity merits -- quite often a triumph of human logistics over environment -- in addition to their extremely high standards of fit-and-finish which has helped in making Warner one of the world's more prestigious players in the field. Amongst others, the book takes a look at the cinemas at Croydon, Leicester, Acton, Harrow and Oberhausen, and also at the 1938 established Warner West End flagship.
With dramatic mountain ridges towering over the moorland of its northern half, and a lusher, softer landscape in the south, Arran is often dubbed as Scotland in Miniature. The fact is that this is an island with a huge amount to offer packed into small space. This book deals with Arran.
