Honokaa Town (9781467133357)

Walk down Mamane Street, the heart of Honokaa Town, and step back into the late 19th and early 20th century. Honokaa's single-wall, wooden plantation-era buildings are as much a symbol of Hawaii to local people as Diamond Head is to tourists. The commercial buildings have their emblematic false fronts and totan (corrugated iron) cladding. They contained, and still contain, mom-and-pop businesses that were founded upon personal relationships, required the labor of whole families, and provided for the education of the next generation. The small size of the town encouraged cross-pollination of peoples. Sugar workers, paniolos (cowboys), coffee farmers, and homesteaders all came to Honokaa.

In My Place Condemned He Stood : Celebrating the Glory of the Atonement (9781433502002)

An important anthology that reaffirms the classic doctrine of substitutionary atonement and counters the ongoing attacks against it. If ever there was a time and a need for an enthusiastic reaffirmation of the biblical doctrine of substitutionary atonement, it is now. With this foundational tenet under widespread attack, J. I. Packer and Mark Dever's anthology plays an important role, issuing a clarion call to readers to stand firm in the truth. In My Place Condemned He Stood combines three classic articles by Packer-The Heart of the Gospel; his Tyndale Biblical Theology Lecture, What Did the Cross Achieve; and his introductory essay to John Owen's The Death of Death in the Death of Christ-with Dever's recent article, Nothing but the Blood. It also features a foreword by the four principals of Together for the Gospel: Dever, Ligon Duncan, C. J. Mahaney, and Al Mohler. Thoughtful readers looking for a compact classic on this increasingly controversial doctrine need look no...

Der erfolgreiche Königsangriff (3940417815)

Der Angriff auf den gegnerischen König und letztlich dessen Mattsetzung ist das Ziel aller Ziele im Schachspiel. Allerdings ist ein solcher Angriff nur gerechtfertigt bzw. erfolgversprechend, wenn die positionellen Voraussetzungen hierfür vorliegen oder vorab geschaffen wurden. Sind die Kriterien für einen Königsangriff nur unzureichend erfüllt, wird die Attacke in der Regel fehlschlagen und der allzu optimistische Angreifer läuft Gefahr, selbst im Gegenangriff unterzugehen. Daher gilt es, zunächst Schwächen in der feindlichen Königsstellung hervorzurufen und diese schnellstmöglich zu nutzen, denn dem Verteidiger darf keine Zeit zur Konsolidierung eingeräumt werden. Eine andere Methode besteht darin, gegnerische Figuren auf dem anderen Flügel zu binden, um unvermittelt zu einem Angriff auf den relativ ungeschützten König überzugehen. Die Vorbereitung und Durchführung des Angriffs kann verschiedene strategische und taktische Methoden erfordern - häufig werden auch Materialopfer gebrach...
