"The nexus of computer science and cognitive science will remain a fruitful area for research and reflection. Humans, computers, and their context form a trinity that will require the sort of insight that these essays embody. If we are to realize the promise of intelligent systems in all their forms, we will need the concepts, methods, and reflections contained in this book." --Nigel Shadbolt, University of Southampton, from the Foreword The notion of Human-Centered Computing (HCC) was introduced as a named program at the NASA-Ames Research Center. Both the evolution of HCC and its current theoretical and research foundations are laid out in the essays that are compiled into this volume. HCC, from this perspective, has the goal of creating technologies that amplify and extend human perceptual, cognitive, and collaborative capabilities. With contributions from more than three dozen coauthors, these 40 essays from the Human-Centered Computing department of IEEE Intelligent Systems lay out and clarify the principles of HCC.

The stories of the Grand Councils in Heaven, the Creation, the Fall, and the revelation of the Plan of Salvation to mankind are foundational to LDS doctrine. As it turns out, they are also the focus of a vast ancient literature by Jewish commentators, Islamic scholars, and early Christians, as well as the nexus of perennial controversies about science and religion. This volume contains the most comprehensive commentary ever published on the beautiful and doctrinally rich early chapters of the book of Moses, combining prophetic insights, excerpts from ancient texts, current scientific perspectives, and up-to-date biblical scholarship-all presented from a perspective of faith. Each section of the book is prefaced by an overview illuminating major themes and issues. This is followed by the text of each chapter of scripture, accompanied by a detailed phrase-by-phrase commentary designed to give the modern reader both an understanding of the plain sense of the words as well as their significance in context. Based on the first complete transcriptions of the original manuscripts of the Joseph Smith Translation, significant textual variants are identified and discussed. Of special interest to LDS readers is the light that the book of Moses sheds on temple worship. A detailed study of this book of scripture in conjunction with ancient and modern sources suggests striking parallels with temple themes. Insights on these topics from LDS scripture and prophets, as well as relevant extracts from the works of Hugh Nibley and other religious scholars, historians, philosophers, scientists, literary specialists, playwrights, musicians, and artists are found on nearly every page of the book.

Temple Themes in the Book of Moses (Companions to the Book of Moses)

THIS VERSION IS PRINTED IN BLACK AND WHITE - Color softcover and color Kindle Replica versions are also available.\nThe Book of Moses is an ideal starting point for a scripture-based study of temple themes. It is well known, for example, that the LDS temple endowment, like the book of Moses, includes includes the stories of Creation and of Adam and Eve. What is more rarely appreciated, however, is that the relationship between scripture and temple teachings goes two ways. Not only have many of the stories of the Book of Moses been included in the endowment, but also, in striking abundance, themes echoing temple architecture, furnishings, ordinances, and covenants have been deeply woven into the text of the book of Moses itself.In order to identify and explore temple themes in the Book of Moses, Jeffrey M. Bradshaw has combined insights from scripture, modern prophets, and religious scholars with relevant excerpts from ancient religious documents. Written in a clear and compelling style, and including over one hundred full color images, this book aims to provide an increased appreciation for the doctrines and ordinances of the temple, and for the book of Moses as inspired scripture.

El juramento y el convenio del sacerdocio, como se halla en D&C 84:33-48, es un enfoque ideal para un estudio de temas del templo basado en las escrituras. Estos versículos hablan con sencillez sobre las bendiciones más altas del sacerdocio de Melquisedec. Lo que puede ser menos apreciado es la claridad con la que esta misma revelación describe la secuencia requerida de ordenanzas por las que los individuos y las familias pueden calificar para la exaltación. Es significativo que esta revelación fue dada en 1832, una década antes de que el profeta comenzara a enseñar con claridad muchas doctrinas del sacerdocio mayor y del templo a los santos de Nauvoo. El propósito de este libro es explorar el significado de los versículos que resumen el juramento y el convenio del sacerdocio a la luz de las ordenanzas requeridas para la exaltación. En materia de doctrina, el autor se ha basado en lo que se puede hallar en las escrituras y en las declaraciones de los miembros de la Primera Presidencia y del Quórum de los Doce Apóstoles. Para dar ilustraciones y más antecedentes ha tomado de la riqueza de otras fuentes. Escrito de manera atractiva, e ilustrado con imágenes cuidadosamente seleccionadas, este libro está diseñado para estimular a los lectores en su propio estudio de las doctrinas del sacerdocio y en sus esfuerzos personales para comprender y guardar sus convenios.

Temas del templo en el juramento y el convenio del sacerdocio (B&W) (Companions to the Book of Moses) (Spanish Edition)

Hugh W. Nibley (1910–2005) was arguably the most brilliant Latter-day Saint scholar of the 20th century, with wide-ranging interests in scripture, history, and social issues. The Collected Works of Hugh Nibley comprise nineteen weighty volumes. But he was also one of the most enigmatic observers of the Church. In this volume readers will discover that the personal stories and perspectives behind the scholarship are sometimes even more captivating than his brilliant and witty intellectual breakthroughs.This comprehensive three-part collection of essays sheds fascinating new light on Hugh Nibley as a scholar and a man.Part 1, entitled “Portraits,” contains the first collection of observations—a “spiritual” portrait of Hugh Nibley by his close friend and colleague John W. “Jack” Welch, a description of the physical portrait by Rebecca Everett hanging in the Hugh Nibley Ancient Studies room at Brigham Young University, and a biographical portrait by Hugh himself.Part 2, “Nibley, the Scholar,” contains expanded and updated versions of the almost forgotten audio and video recordings of the BYU Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship lecture series celebrating the centennial of Nibley’s birth in 2010. An additional set of chapters on Nibley’s scholarship rounds out this collection.Part 3, “Nibley, the Man,” includes tributes given by family members and others at Nibley’s funeral service. A series of entertaining personal stories, reminiscences, and folklore accounts concludes the volume.
