Creating a Hostile Environment for the Flesh
God has graciously granted Bernard King over thirty years of ministry experience. In 1981, at Syracuse University, Bernard surrendered his life to the Lord Jesus Christ and received His gift of salvation and the forgiveness of sins. He immediately became active in ministry and served as campus president for Campus Bible Fellowship. He also co-labored with other ministries, such as Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Athletes in Action. Bernard answered the call to be on staff at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale, where he was ordained and served as a minister and an assistant pastor for nine years. In 2008, Pastor King started a Bible study in West Delray Beach. That Bible study was the catalyst for Cornerstone Bible Fellowship, where he now serves as senior pastor. Bernard has BS (speech communications) and MS (counseling education) degrees from Syracuse University. His life verse is He must increase, but I must decrease (John 3:30). He purposes to promote Jesus Christ as the most prominent presence and person in his life. For Gods glory! Bernard and his wife Gloria have been married for twenty-five years. They reside in Palm Beach, Florida.

Much of our thinking is flawed because it is based on faulty intuition. By using the framework and tools of probability and statistics, we can overcome this to provide solutions to many real-world problems and paradoxes. We show how to do this, and find answers that are frequently very contrary to what we might expect. Along the way, we venture into diverse realms and thought experiments which challenge the way that we see the world. Features: An insightful and engaging discussion of some of the key ideas of probabilistic and statistical thinking Many classic and novel problems, paradoxes, and puzzles An exploration of some of the big questions involving the use of choice and reason in an uncertain world The application of probability, statistics, and Bayesian methods to a wide range of subjects, including economics, finance, law, and medicine Exercises, references, and links for those wishing to cross-reference or to probe further Solutions to exercises at the end of the book This book should serve as an invaluable and fascinating resource for university, college, and high school students who wish to extend their reading, as well as for teachers and lecturers who want to liven up their courses while retaining academic rigour. It will also appeal to anyone who wishes to develop skills with numbers or has an interest in the many statistical and other paradoxes that permeate our lives. Indeed, anyone studying the sciences, social sciences, or humanities on a formal or informal basis will enjoy and benefit from this book.
Fighting Discrimination in a Hostile Political Environment

The book investigates the experience of ethno-racial discrimination in France and the forms that resistance takes in a colour-blind context. Among pluriethnic, multi-religious, post-colonial states with a long immigration history, France holds a specific place in international comparisons due to its distinct colour-blindness. It does not recognize racial or ethnic groups either as legitimate social or political categories or as targets for policy. Nevertheless, the book embarks in testing existing theories on the experience of discrimination, and on the diverse repertoire of collective action to fight discriminatory practices in France. It features chapters that draw on empirical qualitative research done at various levels of political action (city, regional or national) and focusing on various actors (inhabitants, activists, administrative, judicial and elected officials). The contributors argue that far from disappearing, race operates at the political level and is embedded in policy design. They highlight the centrality of institutions and policies in the production of a colour-blind racial regime. Despite the hostile character of the French political environment, the fight against discrimination takes renewed forms, from infrapolitical tactics to legal battles. While the social sciences have, themselves, been under attack, scholarship on France demonstrates the reproduction of ethnoracial inequalities and investigates the forms that resistance to discrimination takes. Fighting Discrimination in a Hostile Political Environment will be a key resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Race and Ethnic Studies, Politics and Public Policy, European Studies, Research Methods and Sociology. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
